Police Search for Serial Mugger


2008_07_uwsmug.jpgPolice believe the same suspect is behind seven muggings that have taken place on the Upper West Side/ Morningside Heights since April.

According to the Post, he "first punches his victim in the face, then demands cash and valuables." The attacks have been on six woman and one man, many concentrated around West 92nd Street--at Columbus and West 92nd Street, West End and West 92nd, on West 92nd off West End, West 81st and Central Park West, West 110th and 7th Avenue, Broadway near West 108th West 91st near Columbus. Luckily, none of the victims have been seriously hurt.

The authorities released a sketch of the suspect, who is described as, per WABC 7, "a black man between the ages of 25 and 35, approximately 5-foot-6 to 6-feet tall and weighing 150 to 180 pounds. He is light-skinned with a medium build." Police urge anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

Are you kidding me? Between 25 and 35, 5'6" to 6', 150 to 180? I think they should be just a little more vague if they want more suspects.

 

This is the reason I bought my wife a stun gun and told her to keep her hand on it if she even suspects someone is getting close. A zap with that will incapacitate the trash enough to give them a few placed kicks in the groin and face. If more time is needed, another zap will do.

Perhaps having his balls crushed will set him on the right path.

 

will these comments be moderated like the post where the model jumped to her death in the Financial District, Wall Street, Manhattan?
Stun guns are not good, Fox OC spray is what I buy.
