	Same here in NJ, and I hear DC is a hotbed for this kind of thing
	as well.  A month ago one Mrs. Skollar was "carjacked" by a young
	man, at gun point.  The man had just been released from prison, has
	a rap sheet about 6 parsecs long and apparently was in need of money
	to make his child support payments.  So he carjacks Mrs Skollar,
	kidnaps her, I believe he raped her, and then murdered her, all for
	the lousy $2 she had in her wallet.  This story has me, and basically
	the entire state, aghast.

	Another woman was kidnapped in a carjacking, locked in her trunk, and
	driven from some southern state (Virginia??) to Pittsburg where she
	managed to escape by prying the trunk open with the tire iron.  God
	only knows what in hell would have been her fate had she not escaped.

	Please forgive this admittedly immature response, but FUCK HIM!
	I'd like to see some crook put a gun to his head and scare the
	life half out of him.  An obvious cretinous miscreant if ever there
	was one.

	This is cute, kind of.  Good for yer dad's girl.  More women need to
	respond like that.  They should not have to take any shit like that
	from anyone.  I was surprised to see a piece on the tube last night
	on women and guns.  They interviewed a Holmdel, NJ housewife that also
	happens to ne a certified instructor who teaches women how to defend
	themselves with guns.  She was very cool indded.  The slant that the
	station took seemed to be one of uncertain neutrality, which is better
	than the attitudes of most others.  All in all, it was not bad, though
	it was rather short and they did not report with any enthusiasm.

>Don't blather any garbage like 'she should have locked her truck doors.'

	BLATHER?? ME??  Surely you jest :).
