An avalanche of CCW fail

In Pennsylvania last week, a man was shot to death in a church.

Apparently Robert Braxton III was sitting in seats reserved for other members, and when an usher tapped him on the shoulder to ask him to move, he got upset and yelled at the usher, telling him not to touch him. And this little blow-up sparked wanna-be TV action hero Mark Storms into action.

As the usher and the pastor spoke to Braxton and calmed him down, Storms, by all accounts, rushed up to them with a gun drawn, flashed a badge and ordered Braxton to leave the church.

The badge was one of those ones advertised on the internet that simply says "Concealed Weapons Permit Holder". They serve no purpose and are bought exclusively by idiots and morons.

Braxton apparently didn't care for being badged by a poser, because he reportedly told Storms what he could do with his "fake badge" and "fake gun". Then he punched Storms in the mouth.

Storms retaliated by shooting Braxton and killing him.

Storms was rightfully arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter. At his arraignment, Storms claimed that he was using his handgun in "self defense", and, apparently without talking to or heeding the advice of a lawyer, he told the police that he was hoping to defuse the situation by showing a gun, which, according to court documents, he's done in the past.

Sigh... it's people like this who mess it up for the rest of us CCW holders and responsible gun owners. The anti-gun crowd always tries to say that we do stuff like this, and even though we all know better, here comes some tosser to do exactly this sort of stupid thing.

So let us count the screw-ups in this case. Feel free to add any that I miss:

1. Storms buys a poser badge that carries no authority but merely identifies him as a concealed weapons permit holder. Why he feels that he needs a shield like real police and other officials carry is not known to me, but it appears that he's got a history of going around flashing it at people, no doubt hoping that it'll be mistaken for a real badge. Impersonating a police officer is both illegal and dangerous, and no one not a sworn Law Enforcement Officer needs to be carrying a badge around, especially a toy badge like this one.

2. Storms decided to butt into a verbal dispute that he wasn't even a party to. No one asked him to help, it was being handled by the appropriate people, and it wasn't his business.

3. Storms pulled his gun (and flashed his toy badge) to intimidate Braxton and get him to do what Storms--who had no authority to act--was ordering him to do.

4. Storms, with his gun out, was close enough to Braxton that Braxton could easily punch him in the face. Had Braxton gone for a disarm instead, he could probably have pulled it off, because Storms was way too close to react to the attempt.

5. While it's plausible to argue that you shot in self-defense in response to an attempt to disarm you, shooting someone for busting you in the lip is pretty much cut-and-dried retaliation. Storms life doesn't appear to have been in danger there; only his ego did.

6. I can't think of anything Storms could do to make this worse, unless...oh, wait--he could give statements to the police about how he was trying seize control of parties having a verbal disagreement by threatening them with his gun. Yeah, that could make it worse, as could having a history of having done this sort of thing before and not learning from those incidents.

All I can say now is that I hope that Storms likes jail food and diverse roommates, because I think that he's going to be getting his fill of both for a long, long time to come.

Taking a bite out of crime, southern style.

Down in Florida recently, a punk named Matthew Riggins told his girlfriend that he was going to go burglarize some homes. "Cool," she likely said. "Steal me some neat stuff, too."

Riggins and a pal roamed the Barefoot Bay neighborhood in Brevard County until they were spotted by police, at which point they ran and hid down by a lake. As police searched for him, Riggins called his girlfriend back and told her that he was hiding from the police. A few minutes later however, the police heard screaming down by the lake but they weren't able to find the source. They also didn't find Riggins, who was reported missing the next day.

Florida man killed by alligator while hiding from police

Yep. Justice came swimming. Ten days later, authorities found Riggins' body in that lake...most of it, anyway. And when they tried to retrieve it, an 11-foot gator appeared and aggressively objected.

The gator was subsequently killed, and the rest of Riggins was found in it's stomach.

It's believed that Riggins, a serial burglar who is thought to be responsible for a string of local home break-ins, tried to hide in or near the lake to escape detection by police dogs being used to search for him. Unfortunately for him, he attracted the attention of the alligator, which dragged him into the lake and killed him.

My thoughts are simple. No sympathy for Matthew Riggins. He was a piece of shit and his demise is no great loss to society. I feel bad for the alligator. It was just doing what gators do, and the fact that it also performed a community service at the same time is bonus points as far as I'm concerned. I'm thinking that we could use a few gators like that one on our southern border.

Overlooked in the news stories this far has been Riggins' girlfriend. She is the one who knew in advance his plans to break into people's homes and she apparently did not object or notify the authorities. In my view, she's as guilty as he and his other accomplice are. She needs to go to jail too, or failing that, she should be tossed to another gator.

Instant Karma #2. Thug tased while trying to draw gun from waistband shoots himself.

This one makes me smile.

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Police in Oakland, California approached this mouth-breather because he was smoking in a prohibited area. He started to get squirrely with them, gave them a fake name and threatened to jump in front of a train. When they went to detain him, he reached for something in his waistband. The officers stepped back and deployed at least one Taser, only to hear a shot ring out. Turns out that the knucklehead was drawing a gun tucked into that waistband and the taser shock made his hands clench as he gripped the pistol. Result: a nice gunshot wound to his own stomach.

Oakland BART Shooting: Man in Critical Condition, Expected to Survive

And of course, this being Oakland, the Usual Suspects congregating nearby immediately jumped on the internet and started rumors to the effect that the police just shot another unarmed black guy. Personally, I'm getting pretty tired of the constant parade of assorted mutts and scumbags going around bashing the cops every time they take police action against a black guy or even some buck-toothed Tim McVeigh clone with a gun and a Gadsen flag. Since when did criminals become victims and the police become the villains? That's not how it works in my world, and the day that America goes down that road is the day that I'm done with America. For the record, this blogger and his dogs support Law Enforcement 100%.

Texas fool shoots himself in the face while taking selfie with a gun.

HPD: Man fatally shot while taking selfies with gun

Ah, yes...the old "We was just playing with this gun we found and it went off all by itself!" claim. According to the deceased's cousin, they just "found" the handgun that very day, and were no doubt taking pictures of it to make some posters that they could put up around the neighborhood to try and find it's rightful owner.

I believe that about as much as I believe that this guy who, at age 19, is already a baby daddy twice, was just going to start taking college classes the next day. Taking stuff from college classes maybe.

That instant karma can be a real bite in the ass sometimes, can't it?

Stand by for more local editorials about those evil guns, because it would not be PC to blame the shooter for his own demise now, would it?

Armed "victim" turns tables on would-be car-jacker

In Atlanta, Edgar Horn slid into the passenger seat of Hashim Fannin's car and said "you know what this is."

Fannin knew, all right. He knew that Horn was announcing a car-jacking. But Fannin knew something else, something that Horn did not. Fannin knew that he had a licensed concealed weapon on his person, and he promptly shared that information with Horn by pulling the sidearm and forcing Horn to lie face down on the parking lot while Fannin called the police.

Man holds suspected carjacker at gunpoint until police arrive

Horn of course tried to play it off by claiming that he thought that he was getting into the car of "a friend" abd begged fannin to let him go, but Fannin didn't buy it and held him for the police.

“I told him no, there’s no leaving, leaving was before you hopped into my car ... at this point there is not leaving,” Fannin said.

The car owner kept the suspect, Edgar Horn, 61, at gunpoint face down in the parking lot for several minutes until police arrived.

“You were not trying to rob me,” Fannin said to the man on cellphone video of the incident. “Do you just get into random people's cars ... you thought I was your friend … you thought I was your friend ... so you woke up stupid this morning?”

When police arrived, you can see Fannin wave them over, and put his gun down. The police officer shakes his hand, before putting the suspect in handcuffs.

“Honestly, I look at it like this. That is one less guy I got to worry about bothering my mom when she’s out grocery shopping,” Fannin said.

Somewhere out there, Shannon Watts is crying and dipping into her third carton of Haagen-Dazs. She really hates it when guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens stop crimes and save lives.

Another anti-gun Democrat arrested on gun charges

The list of anti-gun Democrats who wind up committing crimes with the same guns that they work to keep you and me from having is long, and it keeps getting longer. Now we can all add Michigan State Senator Virgil Smith to the list, after he was arrested for running naked onto his porch and emptying a rifle into his ex-wife's 2015 Mercedes as the climax of a domestic dispute between the two.

Detroit Sen. Virgil Smith found naked with woman by ex-wife prior to shooting

Sen. Smith said firing shots stupidest thing in his life

Smith has been a politician in Michigan since he came out of college and jumped on his daddy's coattails, and this despite a history of both drunk driving and shoplifting arrests. But when not dealing with his own legal problems, he's been steadily endorsing and working to pass bill after bill after bill to restrict the rights of Michigan citizens to keep and bear their own firearms.

Michigan voters, this is what happens when you elect and re-elect an obvious punk to high office. They don't stop being punks just because you give them a title and enough money to buy nice things. They will, however, look at you as if you are punks and do everything that they can to keep you under control of big government, all while excepting themselves from that same oversight.

If convicted of this felony, he should be removed from the legislature, but he won't be. And Detroit voters will keep voting for him. And this is why I like laws that keep felons from holding office or voting.

Shame on me, but this is funny to me.

Apparently down in Chesterfield, Virginia, police tried to arrest Mike November on suspicion of drunk driving. November, who has a lengthy criminal history that includes prior DUI arrests and assaults on police officers, fled from the police. A short chase ensued and November crashed and rolled his car, trapping himself inside. Police officers and firefighters worked to extricate him from the wreck, and it should have ended when they got him out, however November apparently decided to try the police on again and started fighting. This time, however, the fight ended when an officer used a taser to subdue him. Unfortunately for Mike, he seems to have gotten himself soaked with gasoline from the wreck, and when the taser hit him, he went up in flames.

Virginia man catches fire after police use Taser on DUI suspect after crash

I'm sorry. I'm still laughing here. At least one of his family members is already telling the media that "he may have had a bad reputation but he didn't deserve to have this happen to him", but I need to disagree. It didn't "happen" to him--he caused it all himself--every bit of it, He made the choices, including the choices to drive drunk, to run from the police, and to fight the firefighters and cops who were trying to help him despite what he'd already done. Let's face it--some people just aren't cut out to walk the earth with the rest of us, and Mike November may well have punched his own ticket with this dumb stunt. I sympathize with him as far as his injuries, but if he dies, he'll have no one to blame but himself.

Yet Another reason Why No One Takes Potheads Seriously

As if we need to keep adding to the list.


Pig Eats Owner's Pot, Man Has A Meltdown

Spohn was "highly agitated" and uncooperative with deputies and, after a tussle, “had to be subdued with a Taser in order to be placed under arrest.” He was charged with disorderly conduct by intoxication and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors....Upon arriving at the Spohn residence in Waterford, deputies learned from Spohn’s wife Heather that he was upset over their marital problems and "because their pig had ate all of his marijuana.” She added, “Chad gets upset when he does not have marijuana.”

You just can't make this sort of stuff up.

POLICE: ATTEMPTED ROBBERY VICTIM FATALLY SHOOTS TOY GUN-WIELDING SUSPECT IN UPPER DARBY

Investigators say a 67-year-old man was walking on a path when the suspect ran up and demanded cash.

"He hears somebody running behind him. As he turns around, he sees a masked man with a gun pointed at him saying, 'Give it up, give me all you got," said Supt. Michael Chitwood, Upper Darby Township Police.

However the intended victim grabbed the suspect's gun.

During the struggle, police say the victim pulled out his own weapon and fired one shot striking the attempted robber in the head, killing him.

The victim does have a concealed weapons permit.

Police have identified the deceased as Tyler Williams of West Philadelphia. Tyler was 18 years old, and police are searching for a relative willing to get in front of the news cameras and tell us all how he was just getting ready to start turning his life around, get a job, and go to school to become a dental hygenist or some other such nonsense.

Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania, the streets are a little safer and even the air is a little fresher tonight.

Vigilante FAIL. Man Attacks Concealed Pistol Holder, Gets Arrested.

Screaming "He's got a GUN!", 43 year old Michael Foster attacked 62 year old Clarence Daniels as he walked into a Hillsborough County, Florida Wal-Mart after observing that Daniels had a firearm on his person. Only problem for Foster: Daniels has a concealed-weapons permit and was lawfully carrying his firearm when Foster jumped on him and knocked him to the ground.

Vigilante arrested for tackling licensed gunowner in Florida Wal-Mart

Foster was arrested by responding police and charged with battery, as he should have been.

Now my concerns go a bit deeper than the original story. First of all, it sounds as if Mr. Daniels, though a lawful CCW permit holder, was not doing a very good job concealing his sidearm if Foster could spot it like he did. (Remember folks, if bad guys can see it, they can attack--like Foster did--or take you out pre-emptively if they want to. The option is theirs.)

My second concern is that Mr. Daniels was apparently not aware of the fact that he was about to be attacked until Foster grabbed him. A major part of self-defense is situational awareness, and that means keeping an eye as to your surroundings and other people in proximity to you, especially those who seem to be eyeballing you. Now can we all be 100% aware 100% of the time? Not likely. However it sounds like Mr. Daniels definitely got caught not paying attention. Not good. Not good at all.

Now let's go back to Foster again. Was he simply some wanna-be do-gooder with a hero complex, another George Zimmerman wanna-be? (It is Florida, after all.) Or was he something worse, namely one of those whack-job anti-gun loons who urge each other on the internet to attack or call the police on anyone that they suspect to be armed? Hopefully this gets investigated, and if it's the latter, hopefully he is exposed and he pulls some serious jail time.

Either way, this is the sort of thing that anyone who carries a concealed firearm needs to be aware of, and it's a lesson showing that we've got to remain vigilant. And having a "Plan B" for those times when someone gets too close to draw on or tries to disarm you is never a bad thing. Does YOUR holster have any retention features, and have YOU thought of what you'll do if/when someone hits you from behind and goes for your gun?

If not, why not?

Screwed By Your Attorney?

Victim Turns The Tables On Would-Be Robber, Shoots Him With His Own Gun

So in Washington DC, a place where it's illegal to carry guns, an 18 year old named Channel Johnson (seriously!) tried to rob a man with a shotgun.

Unfortunately for Channel, his intended victim grabbed the shotgun from Channel and shot him dead with it. (And yes, I'm smiling as I type this.) As a result, Channel got switched off permanently.

Man kills robber after wresting shotgun away from attacker, D.C. police say

A man who was being robbed in Southeast Washington on Wednesday wrested a shotgun away from a gunman and fatally shot his attacker, D.C. police said on Thursday.

The man who died was identified as Channel Johnson, 18, of Southeast. Police said they questioned the man who was robbed but have not filed charges. The incident has been classified as a death investigation, and is continuing. Police initially said Johnson was shot in the back. He died at an area hospital.

As of this time, the local media is searching for a relative who will give the standard teary pronouncment about how "he was a good boy...just getting ready to turn his life around and get a job and everything." It's also reported that Al Sharpton announced that he was going to speak at Channel's funeral, but then he found out that no white police officers were responsible for Channel's death and he canceled.

It's not known where or when Channel Johnson's funeral will be, but if you want to attend, I'm told that the obligatory funeral t-shirts with his picture on them can be obtained from any one of his close relations.

Glock vs. Smith and Wesson: The Ghetto Challenge.

So which (stolen) pistol performs better--the Glock or the Smith and Wesson? Apparently two hoot rats in Louisiana decided to settle the question in the front seat of a car recently.

Tory Sanders, 35, of Marrero, and Byron Price, 26, of St. Rose, got into an argument during what police describe as a drug deal.

Drug deal gone bad: Driver and passenger shot each other dead in front seat before crashing into Marrero house, JPSO says

Sanders and Price were found inside a Buick Lacrosse that crashed into a house in the 1900 block of Gladstone Drive Friday around 8:25 p.m. The pair died from gunshot wounds, Fortunato said Saturday.

Evidence at the scene suggests a drug transaction went awry and Sanders and Price fired on each other, Fortunato said. Sanders was in the driver's seat, while Price was in the passenger's seat, Fortunato said.

Authorities recovered a .40-caliber, semi-automatic Glock from Price's hand, which had been reported stolen in March 2014. Police also found a "substantial amount'' of marijuana in a large plastic bag tucked under Price's arm, Fortunato said.

A .40-caliber Smith & Wesson semi-automatic handgun was found in Sanders seat. Police recovered numerous spent shell casings and projectiles inside of the vehicle.

Price has criminal history including arrests for illegal use of a firearm while in possession of narcotics, illegal possession of stolen firearms, possession with intent to distribute marijuana and disturbing the peace by fighting, Fortunato said.

Sanders criminal record includes an arrest for marijuana.

Sadly, the police report doesn't specify the model numbers, so we don't know if Price had a full-size Model 22, a compact Model 23 or a sub-compact Model 27. Likewise, we don't know if Sanders' Smith and Wesson was a full-size or compact M&P or one of Smith's countless older models. But we do know one thing: Both performed as advertised in this impromptu shooting competition, and two criminals assumed room temperature shortly thereafter. The clear winner: The law-abiding citizens who live in their area and the taxpayers who no longer have to pay to deal with these two fools.

It's also reported that, when news of their deaths first broke, both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson purchased first-class airline tickets to rush to the scene, but they canceled their travel plans just as soon as they found out that there were no white police officers involved.

Woman Upset Over Son's Arrest Burns Down Police Officer Neighbor's Home.

Donna Krupp, age 52, of Limerick Township, PA was upset because her fugitive son was picked up by the Pennsylvania State Police recently. Suspecting that her next-door neighbor, a Detective with the Township Police, was responsible for her son's apprehension, She waited until the detective and his family were on vacation to Disney World ojn Thursady and burned his house down.

Penn. mom torched police detective’s home in revenge for son’s arrest: police

How would you like to have your family vacation interrupted by a call telling you that your house and all of your possessions are gone and your pets are dead? Then to find out that your neighbor did it just because you're a cop and she has problems with cops from a different department. That's insane, and with her for a "parent", it leaves no doubt as to why this woman's son has trouble with the police.

If there's any justice, she'll get out of prison one day to find that her home, car and other belongings have been sold to make her neighbor whole again. But since we don't live in a country where the bad people are held responsible, some of the detective's friends are raising funds to help him and his family out. If you've got a mind to help someone deserving in need this Christmas season, I can think of a pretty good recipient, right there.

He was a shocking bright kid, but only until they turned the power off.

When it's late and you're drunk and there's no nearby Denny's to go hang out at, what do you do? Well Brian McClellan sure found a way to light up the night in Connecticut.

Model catches fire atop commuter train

A model and actor was badly disfigured and fighting for his life after catching fire when he climbed atop a Manhattan-bound Metro-North train on Sunday, law-enforcement sources said.
A train crew found Brian McClellen, 21, on fire on the roof of the New Haven line train shortly before 5:10 a.m. in Riverside, Conn., an MTA spokesman said.
The train, which runs on overhead electrical wires, had lost power. The workers had gone up to find out why.
Video taken at the Stamford rail station shows an apparently intoxicated McClellen climbing on top of the train, a source said.
Investigators believe the victim, who lives near Union Square, was burned after a coming in contact with the train’s pantograph, which collects power from the 12,500 volts in the wires.
The crew used an extinguisher to put out the flames atop the sixth car...

His family described him as determined and talented.

Not exactly the words that I'd use, but ok. I'd use adjectives like "thoughtless" and "stupid", but that's just me, I guess.

According to this story, he was on the roof of the train attempting skateboard tricks:

Skateboard daredevil, 21, fighting for life after he caught fire riding New York City-bound train when he collided with electrical wire

I hope the kid survives this, but I also say that there needs to be laws prohibiting people like this from suing the railroads when they defy common sense and bypass the numerous signs, barricades and other devices intended to prevent just such an occurrence. No one else should have to pay for this kid's poor decision-making.

Some people just need to be punched in the face by court order.

No, this post isn't about Kaci Hickox, the attention-seeking "nurse" and Typhoid Mary imitator who refuses to avoid any chance of infecting others with Ebola since coming back from Africa. Yes, her constant whining and serial press conferences and her veiled insinuations that any attempt to quarantine her is merely a Republican plot definitely warrants a public face-punching but I suspect that Karma will come back around in the form of countless rejected job applications since Americans in general don't care for someone who fights hard for the right to spread diseases to the rest of us.

No, this post is about a little spoiled princess from New York named Casey Nocket.

Little Miss Nocket, age 21, spent some of daddy's money on a vacation out west. Miss Nocket, whose life ambition is to be a graffiti "artist" (more commonly known as a "vandal" anywhere outside of a few big blighted cities), traveled around the west, painting graffiti on rock formations in at least eight national parks, including Yosemite National Park, Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado National Monument, Crater Lake National Park, and Zion National Park and Canyonlands National Park. (It also looks like she hit Sequoia National Park and the Grand Canyon, too now, but that still hasn't been officially confirmed.) These parks in California, Oregon, Arizona, Utah and Colorado (see map of defacement here) are some of the most scenic public lands in America, but to this punk, they were just canvases where she could whip out her paint set and draw lame pictures, complete with her personal tagline, "Creepytings". Owing to the remoteness of and the distance between the places that she vandalized, it took some time before the nature community realized the extent of the defacement and traced it back to Casey the suburban whitebread wanna-be hood-rat from New York. Of course once they began talking about her and contacting her directly, she took to her social media accounts to mock and taunt anyone who was upset by her actions. She responded to her critics by saying that "it's art, not vandalism" because she is an "artist". Even worse, her mother and others around her took to the internet to applaud Casey for her "creativity".

Folks, this is why New Yorkers (with a few exceptions) are about as welcome in real America as Kaci Hickox would be at a daycare center. But I digress...

Finally, the National Park Service Law Enforcement got involved, and they are presently investigating and compiling estimates of the cost to properly remove the paint from the rocks. The case is reportedly being brought to the US Attorney for criminal charges, to the applause of practically everyone in America save Nocket, her family, and a few other graffiti punks. Naturally, once that word got out, Nocket's relatives have begun explaining that she now has "considerable remorse" for her actions. My guess? The remorse is only that she has been publicly outed and now faces the prospect of prison time, especially if the government charges these acts as felony vandalism, which I hope that they do. A clue as to the sincerity of her remorse could of course be divined from one of her last social media posts before she took her tumblr account down. In that post, she laughed about how she's going to change the focus of her "art" from scrawling on national monuments to defacing tombstones in cemeteries because they'll supposedly still get her publicity without landing her in as much trouble.

21 years old, jobless, and traveling the country wrecking other peoples' things just for the attention. Yeah, she deserves to be punched in the face on live TV on behalf of America, and her parents need to be right up there next to her getting punched as well.

Better yet, maybe she should be locked up in a shipping crate with Kaci Hickox. Then we could send the crate one-way to Liberia and be done with both of them.

Sat-tazer-day

Because life is getting in the way, I'm short for posts, so here--watch a couple great police tazer videos.

Some people really don't know when to shut their mouths, follow basic instructions and just be cool.

Stupid Criminals...Gotta love 'em.

They say that life imitates art. While in Georgia, apparently life imitates Warner Brothers cartoons.

Georgia police find fugitive hiding in kitchen oven

Yeah, you read that right. The wanted criminal was found in the oven when police arrived and began searching the residence looking to arrest her.

I'm wondering if this is how she was found:

A Flaw in the Victim-Selection Process...

Ah, poor Robert Flynn of Spring Garden, PA. He'll forever be known for his decision to chase after a female jogger, grope her and pull her pants down.'

You see, this female jogger also happened to be a US Marshal, and she ate his lunch.

Pittsburgh teen tied to assault on U.S. marshal

To sum up the tale, after he pulled her pants down, she chased after him, caught him in an apartment complex, then kicked him in the junk and punched him in the face before the police arrived to save arrest him. Well prisoners read the papers too, and needless to say, his "street cred", or lack thereof, should go a long ways to ensure that his time in jail is as interesting as it could possibly be. And that thought makes me smile today.

He din't do nuthin' wrong! He's a VERY good boy!

So sayeth the mother of a punk kid who was chased down and caught by a woman on New York City after he strong-arm robbed her of her phone.

Woman chases down, captures alleged thief

Clara Vondrich, 36, was taking a business phone call while standing in front of a Williamsburg coffee shop on South Third Street at 1:20 p.m. when the teen approached her with two pals.
The 13-year-old, whose name is being withheld by The Post because he is a minor, allegedly pushed her from behind, nearly knocking her to the ground.
He ripped the phone from her hand and fled, said Vondrich and police sources.
“I was all disoriented,” Vondrich told The Post. “My headphones almost came off.
“I looked up and I saw him running with my phone.”
Wearing a pair of thick wedges and a sundress, Vondrich chased after him.
Vondrich said the teen appeared to be out of shape and handed off the phone to his more nimble pal, who ran off.
But she kept after the slow boy, who was huffing and puffing down Wythe Avenue during the five-block chase.
The Wonder Woman grabbed hold of the teen at South Sixth Street and Wythe Avenue, wrapping her arms around his chest and pinning him against a car.
“He was so pudgy and was slowing down, so that’s why I caught up to him,” Vondrich said, adding she felt sorry for the kid.
Vondrich, who works in advertising, held him for two minutes before cops arrived.
The boy was cuffed and taken to the 90th Precinct station house, where he was expected to be charged with grand larceny, sources said.

When reached at her home, the boy’s mom chided Vondrich for grabbing her son.
“She has her hands all over him,” she said when she saw photos of the bust. “Why is she touching him like that?”
“He’s a very good boy,” the mother added.

Yep. Because "good" boys always attack and rob women. And if you look at his picture, this 13 year old is no little kid. But in his mom's eyes, he's the victim here.

Betcha his mom knows the name of the other hoodlums involved, too. And double or nothing says that she won't tell the police who they are.

And of course Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are likely now enroute to New York to denounce this woman as a racist and Obama will be weighing in shortly on behalf of the boy just as soon as he gets back from his latest vacation.
