We need to keep cooking pots in the hands of those who are trained and authorized to use them.

A woman watching television in her nightgown raced from her bedroom and attacked a man with a cooking pot after he stole golf clubs from her porch, police said.
Sabrena Davis said she first grabbed a knife after a neighbor yelled to tell her that a man had taken the clubs, but then decided to instead attack him with a 10-inch cooking pot.
"I started beating him with it. He asked for it," she said.
Davis' attack slowed Timothy A. Simison, 27, until police arrested him outside her home Tuesday morning shortly after she had whacked him in the head and shoulders with the pot.
The Hartford City man, who was being held without bond Wednesday at the Delaware County Jail, faces preliminary charges of attempted burglary and theft.
Police said Simison was on a crack cocaine binge when he tried burglarizing the two-story house where Davis, 36, lives with her brother, Maurice Garrett.
A neighbor who noticed Simison on the enclosed front porch where Garrett keeps tool boxes, tackle boxes and golf clubs cornered Simison on the porch and yelled to Davis, who ran downstairs and attacked with the pot.
Simison tried to escape custody several times, including working his handcuffed hands from behind his back to his front by passing them under his feet, said Muncie police Lt. Al Williams.
When police searched Simison before placing him in a holding cell at city hall, they found a cell phone in one of his socks belonging to one of the officers who had transported him.
"Talk about a klepto. If you sit back and look at this, it's almost comical," Williams said.
Police said they found a stolen lawnmower in a car Simison had parked behind Davis' house.
Ooops!
A 10" cast iron skillet works pretty well on snakes the cat brings in the house.
That perp is amazing.
Stealing the cop's cell phone !
a real winner
Just practicin' to be an MSM "reporter"
Good thing she didn't do this in California. She'd be up on assault charges and the intruder would be getting coddled by the L.A. Times.
In California, it is not permissible to do anything violent against intruders if they are "only" stealing your property.
We need to keep cooking pots in the hands of those who are trained and authorized to use them.
This story will get LOTS of air time. If she had used a gun, well, you know.
He is lucky she did not bring the knife
Was it a pot,
a skillet,
a saucepan or a frying pan?
MSM ignorance again!
Wow, who knew? I guess I'll keep mine under my bed -- skilet that is.
The DUmmies will now try to ban cooking pots
" 10-inch cooking pot..."
hopefully it was a heavy cast iron pot
Brilliant move - this way if the perp had grabbed the weapon he wouldn't have known how to fire it!
Housewife of the year award nomination..... she cooks, she cleans, she dispatches vermin with a single swipe while not spilling her latte.
Don't bring golf clubs to a frying pan fight.
Yeah,
Revere Ware wouldn't have the weight.
Copper, No way!
The guy's got talent.
As well they should! It could have been one of those fully automatic pots! With a flash suppressor! We HAVE to get these things off the streets!
If this guy is good enough that he picked the cell phone off a police officer, the officer is lucky he didnt pick his gun. Now that aint funny. In Islam they would put his hand in a vice and that would cure that hand.
