Of course, who would think she had any money while putting things in the trunk of her (probably nearly new) Mercedes.

That is awful. Cowardly thugs.

Would she be the daughter whom, as a baby, Paul was holding on an album cover (the one on which he has a beard)?

Paul Harvey said that one is six times more likely to be mugged in London than in New York City...Gun control works really good doesn't it?

Driving a Mercedes is quite common in Europe. I think in some European countries the taxi cabs are Mercedes.

, was so terrified for the safety of her unborn child she put up no fight.

So, in a way, she put the safety of her unborn child into the hopes that the thugs would harm her no further as long as she didn't put up a struggle.

Now if she only had a gun.....

Not a very good comparison, inasmuch as New York City is as anti-gun as England.

Mary, the oldest of Paul's three kids by his first wife, the late Linda McCartney . . . likes the fact that she can walk around unrecognized," the friend said.

Well being unrecognized didn't work out to well this time.

I'm amazed this person has no security person, given the potential for kidnapping by looney gouls. The British - enough said IMHO.

Agreed. Sir Paul's daughter can't carry a Revolver? All she can do is holler "Help"? :-)

It seems like that if they were waiting for her, she was loading her trunk and her mouth was covered, they came up from behind her. So, pray tell, how she was supposed to use a gun?!?!? But don't let facts get in the way of your gun-pushing...

Well, guns via the "black market" are more readily available in NY City. Also, there are other States for guns to come from, unlike the UK.

I agree. They had already targeted her, and were waiting in ambush for her. In this case, I only have two words of advice for Ms. McCartney ...... Krav Maga.
