A college student in Columbia, South Carolina was kidnapped by three men at gunpoint. Fearing the worst, she used some Jason Bourne level-problem solving and her manual transmission car to get away safely.
According to newspaper The State, 20-year-old Jordan Dinsmore found herself in one of the worst situations possible when three men approached her, pushed her to the ground and put a gun to her head. The publication reports that they forced her to drive her car and withdraw money from an ATM and then told her that she was going to be taken to a location to be raped.
But Dinsmore had one advantage, The State reports—when the men first put her into the car they couldn’t drive it because it had a manual transmission, so they made her take the driver’s seat. That is when she concocted a plan to escape. After she withdrew $300 out of the ATM, she got back into the car and left her seatbelt off, she hoped her kidnappers didn’t notice the seatbelt alarm chiming.(snip)
“I was thinking somehow I have to get out of this,” Dinsmore said. “Can I crash the car? No, because it might knock me out and not them. Can I pull over or something? I have to get away from them.”
The Slate reports that she purposefully missed the turn and rolled her car into the intersection, threw her car in neutral, then she opened the door and jumped out, while the vehicle was moving at 35 mph.
Once she landed she screamed for help, a woman came to her and called 911. Dinsmore suffered only minor scrapes and bruises from her escape and her 2009 Scion even managed to be in pretty decent shape after the attackers crashed it, The State reports.

It’s not just the Blacks who are targeting White females, elderly Whites, and White property owners (or any combination thereof) in America.
It’s a great quote. I’m not easily impressed, but this young lady gets a double helping of respect and a raucous round of applause from me.
Raquan’s bond hearing. Yep, he’s exactly what we expected him to be.

We have a standard transmission.
Here in the USA that is probably the best anti-theft device you can have.
I don’t think Gen-Xers and Millennials even know how to use manual window cranks much less manual transmissions.

Good point. President Trump, make that happen!
Good Job!! All our LEO agencies should be lining up to hire her, they should go after her now, offer her a scholarship. We need the best and brightest.
It’s Columbia SC and they can’t drive a stick. ;)
A former relative of mine was being kidnapped and taken to a house where the perp was meeting a friend & they had all sorts of “plans” for her - as he was telling her about the plans, she decided no way was that happening to her, fought the guy (who was trying to drive at the same time), managed to get the car door open & jumped out while the vehicle was going 45 mph. Lots of road rash, but otherwise physically ok - mentally, it took a while to recover.
A stupid criminal?
Look up crime stats and read the paper once in a while...
She is too good for the FBI...
I’m assuming the lack of a description is the description...
Good girl!
And the truck driver? Just collateral damage?
Yes! What can happen you avoid the victim mentality!
Yeah. Mine resists learning to drive a stick, even though that’s the only car available at the nully hacienda.
Agreed. But don’t ever cross!
Nope.
We need a LOT of people like her in the FBI.
Every avalanche starts with a snowflake...™
One way to ‘stick’ it to the criminals!
