The Post reports that Harlem resident Marie Conde fought off three muggers--chasing down two of them--"because [her purse] had her green card in it." The 26-year-old, who fell asleep on a 3 train this past Sunday when, woke at 5:30 a.m. when "three punks confronted her as it pulled into the 72nd Street station." One punched her in the right eye and another grabbed her purse. Conde said, "I didn't know what to do, so I just started running after them," holding onto one of them and yelling for help. One mugger said, "Leave him alone! He's my friend!" The police managed to arrest two suspects, while the man who grabbed her purse is still at large. A law enforcement source told the Post that crime victims "shouldn't take matters in your own hands like that. It could be very dangerous, and potentially lethal," but did say Conde was brave, "She is one bad-ass mama."

With people like Marie and the store owner who shot 2 robbers the other day, thugs might wanna think twice.
"Had fell asleep"
Really? There's not much to conjugating verbs in English. Let's not mess up what little responsibility it requires.
Ah, another Professor of English.
This woman, the pregnant lady chasing the mugger and the store owner who shot the two guys - LOOK OUT CRIMINALS!
One mugger said, "Leave him alone! He's my friend!"
Obviously, the muggers were 4-year-olds.
Would she be able to defend against the 7 muggers who would approach her on the 7 train?
where's bernard goetz when you need him?
Sleeping on the train at 5 in the morning? Definitely not a good idea, but at least she was able to fight back.

I thought he was in Central Park feeding the squirrels?
"She is one bad-ass mama."
I hate to be 'that guy' by bringing this up, but I find that remark a bit patronizing and KINDA racist. Was the law enforcement source Melvin Van Peebles?
Any description of the perps?
that Harlem resident Marie Conde fought off three muggers--chasing down two of them--"because it had her green card in it."
this makes no sense
^ I know, nor does the next sentence:
"The 26-year-old, who fell asleep on a 3 train this past Sunday when, waking at 5:30 a.m. when "three punks confronted her as it pulled into the 72nd Street station."
>> "She is one bad-ass mama."

Good call, Jeff, I thought the same thing. Who the hell was this law enforcement official?
Wait, you know me?

Agreed, #12.
Commenters here are something else. Since she got lucky that these were three wimps, they're cheering her. But if they had shot or stabbed her, I get the impression the same people would be laughing, "Darwin!"
Unless applying for a job, people should not routinely carry such documents like "green cards" or SS IDs. Memorize numbers but keep them at home, lest enterprising thieves steal your identity too.

@#6, that's good stuff.
She shouldn't have fallen asleep on the 3 @ %:30 in the morning. I'm saying she asked for trouble, but c'mon!
Nice to see another Paul Kersey vote here.
