When I try to imagine and 86 year old woman with a walker saying "Puta your mother!" to a mugger, is not only comical, but utterly bad ass!

"the NYPD suggests that you just let a mugger have your purse." Useless NYPD. Where are they when the woman got mugged... Oh... probably writing "quality of life tickets" Why try to prevent real crime? There is no money in it, and the officer may get hurt.

Perhaps Rubin should have started to sing Rapper's Delight, a la Wedding Singer...that could have prompted the purse snatcher to leave, too. I think.
