From a story in today’s St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
A robber probably figured he found an easy target when he saw a blonde in spaghetti straps walking alone in a Westport Plaza parking lot early Thursday.
But he picked the wrong woman.
The purse he snatched was tucked under the arm of an off-duty St. Louis County police officer who wouldn’t let it go without a fight.
As Fark would say, jailarity ensues. Unfortunately, Fark has yet to coin the term broken-kneecaparity ensues.
UPDATE: From the “I Wish I Would Have Said That” Department, we offer Aaron of Free Will Blog’s take:
At least the Post-Dispatch didn’t run it with the headline “Jobless Man’s Kneecap Broken After Woman Is Mugged”.
