To save you following the link, the story is that a young mother was being dragged from her home by a rapist. She managed to grab a cricket bat (think baseball bat except heavier and with edges) and hits him twice over the head. He leaves, presumably with very sore head. As he leaves he calls her a “psycho”!
No doubt he’ll be taking a restraining order out on her next. Damn violent psycho women. You can’t even conduct a friendly abduction and rape on one without them fuckin’ hitting you on the head with a goddamn cricket bat!
I once read about a prisoner in Utah who escaped and was later recaptured. He then sued the state claiming that he had experienced mental damages caused by the stress of being the subject of an organized pursuit.
Ahh, something in The Pit to lift the spirits. Thank you. I just wish she put him in the hospital. Good for her. Although, there is a chance he might sue her now.
Indeed. As the old saying goes, “He’s got Buckleys* chance”.
*There are two possible origins of this saying.
William Buckley was an early explorer in Aus who met with many obstacles and hardships on his travels. In other words, he was a total failure. As would any attempt by our ‘victim’ to demand compensation for his thumping.
Late 19th Century, a general merchandise (department) store opened in Melbourne called Buckley and Nunn’s. It sold everything from pins to dress suits and pots and pans and was still around in the 1960’s when I was a wee lass!!
In good Australian fashion, Buckleys (chance) became none whatsoever, or not on your bloody life Nellie.
Had some court later called the woman a psycho, I’d understand. Had same tabloid done the same, ditto. But in the heat of – whatever heat that asshole was in – did you really expect a reasoned and rational response from him? “Hey lady, I’m trying to rape you, therefore your response of beating me with a cricket bat is entirely reasonable. Brava, madame, brava!”
Unless I have misinterpreted the rule pertaining to hitting the head twice then the woman should have been given out. To avoid this happening again I suggest that rapists should go around in teams of eleven (plus two umpires) so that the other ten can shout Owzat! in such circumstances then run around the room giving each other high fives when a wicket falls.
