I'm sure glad the woman is alright except for the absolute fear she has now. She gave a great description and the ghetto thugs was than easy to spot. That's the way do to it! I hope he ended up being arrested and I hope the judge doesn't just give him a "tap" on the hand and set his sorry ass free. We have an empty prison waiting for these ghetto thugs, let's start filling it up. What the hell are we waiting for???? Oh yeah, the criminal justice system to grow "some"...
