Badass Woman Escapes Kidnappers Using A Manual Transmission And Nerves Of Steel

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.

According to the article, the woman is a criminal justice major who hopes to someday join the FBI. She’s skilled, and cool-headed. I say hire her now.

She should not lose any sleep. She should be proud.

Next time put on your seat belt and drive in front of a semi rapidly approaching the perp's side of the vehicle. Kill them if you can.

What the automobile oriented website jalopnik.com left out of the story;

http://www.wyff4.com/article/3-teens-targeted-college-students-in-racially-motivated-crime-spree-sheriff-says/10376659

Lott said Raquan Green, 17, and two 15-year-olds whose names will not be released because of their ages, targeted their victims by race.

"This was a crime spree. They would not have stopped," Lott said. "They made a statement that they did not like white people and they were only going to rob white people."

Lott said one of the victims, who was African-American, told investigators she was released by the suspects when they found out she was not white.

"Between July 3 and July 26 there have been seven separate incidents of armed robberies, some to include carjacking and kidnapping along the Bluff /Shop Road Corridor," Lott said. "Investigators discovered that the suspects began targeting delivery drivers by committing armed robberies. The crimes then escalated to carjacking and kidnapping victims."

She’ll never be hired by any government agency. Her decision to fight back against these poor, disadvantaged yutes shows she’s a racist.

“I thought back to my mom,” Dinsmore said at the news conference, choking back tears. “She was almost a victim of sexual assault when she was a college student. But she fought back and fought the man off. And I thought, ‘I’m gonna be strong like my mom, and I’m gonna get myself out of this.”

Darn, I'm impressed.

There is a race war on, and this is just one more example.

It won’t stop until blacks feel extreme pain for doing it.

She’s already more qualified than the leaking scoundrel who used to be at the top of the FBI, or the last two Attorneys General under obama.

My guess would be Amish. They didn't know how to operate an automobile because they drive horse-drawn carriages.

They tried to rob Rachel Dolezal?
