@#6, that's good stuff. She shouldn't have fallen asleep on the 3 @ 5:30 in the morning. I'm saying she asked for trouble, but c'mon! Nice to see another Paul Kersey vote here.

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.

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!"

>> "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? >> Good call, Jeff, I thought the same thing. Who the hell was this law enforcement official?

^ 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."

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

Sleeping on the train at 5 in the morning? Definitely not a good idea, but at least she was able to fight back.

Would she be able to defend against the 7 muggers who would approach her on the 7 train?

One mugger said, "Leave him alone! He's my friend!" Obviously, the muggers were 4-year-olds.

This woman, the pregnant lady chasing the mugger and the store owner who shot the two guys - LOOK OUT CRIMINALS!

"Had fell asleep" Really? There's not much to conjugating verbs in English. Let's not mess up what little responsibility it requires.

With people like Marie and the store owner who shot 2 robbers the other day, thugs might wanna think twice.
