Badass of the Month

A woman fought off a serial rapist on Staten Island over the weekend with an ipod charger:

The victim picked Fields — a convicted serial rapist — out of a lineup yesterday afternoon, authorities said.

Sources told the Advance the woman fought back during the rape by jabbing her iPod charger into Fields’ neck. He still bore two prong marks on the neck from the charger, the sources said.

What makes this even better is that I didn’t even find this story on SILive originally. I saw it on Reddit- the woman is getting props on the internets.

Bad Guiliani- That’s a Terrible Idea

Bad news out of the United Arab Emirates:

Rudy Giuliani said Sunday he will consider running for governor of New York and isn’t ruling out a second attempt at the U.S. presidency….

Current New York Governor David Paterson said last month he will run in 2010 for a full term in office. He assumed office after his predecessor Eliot Spitzer resigned earlier this year amid a prostitution scandal.

So, in an election between Paterson and Giuliani: 1) Who wins? 2) Who would you vote for?

The Story Deepens

So the two knuckleheads were arraigned today:

The police are seeking out additional supsects and believe that the two pictured above were involved in other crimes on election night:

Before sneaking up from behind Kamara in their car with their headlights turned off and then jumping him, the defendants committed a number of other crimes of hatred, according to the District Attorney’s office, which is continuing to gather evidence.

They could serve up to 15 years in prison. Imagine being the two punk white boys in prison for beating a black guy after Obama’s election victory. My guess would be that they’d be above the child molesters but definitely below the run-of-the-mill murders in terms of the prison hierarchy. That isn’t to suggest what they did was somehow worse than murder- only that in an African-American heavy environment, a hate crime against an African-American due to Obama’s win would likely be frowned upon.
