Okay,
right off the bat we should let it be known we at Babble aren't big
advocates of vigilantism. There is a reason we have due process and
don't all take the law into our own hands. Batman gets to, but that's
Batman. Having said that, every now and then something happens. And
that something is a little piece of awesome called street justice.
Wendy Nelson had been sitting on her house steps when her
10-year-old daughter ran from the local playground crying. When Nelson
inquired what was the matter, her daughter told her a strange man tried
to take off her pants and asked the girl to stay overnight at his
house.
Nelson probably should have left it for the police to deal with, but
she approached the man at the playground and told him she called the
police. That's when the 24-year-old man introduced his knife. He
stabbed Nelson twice before Nelson found the aforementioned lead pipe
and struck back.
Nelson's 17-year-old son jumped into the fray and ended up with a
slash to the head of his own. Nelson finally got the upper hand an d
delivered two convincing blows to the suspects head. The man is
currently in the hospital and expected to recover.
What Nelson did was ill-advised to say the least. She could have
been killed. Her son could have been killed. However, with the outcome
of this incident a happy one, we can comfortably say, “Lead Pipe Wielding Mamas = Kind of Rad.”
