The criminals hold the tasers now! Watch out would-be targets, if last year the machete was the weapon of choice, one mugger in Brooklyn may be unintentionally spearheading a taser trend. The Brooklyn Paper notes that on October 2nd "a stun-gun-toting purse snatcher shocked a victim on Bayard Street [at Graham Avenue] before running off. The woman was walking home from a bar at around 3 a.m." The robber ran off with her purse, cash and cell phone after she collapsed to the ground. Serious buzz kill.





Que Williamsburg haters who'll say she was obviously a trust fund hipster who deserved it because she was walking near McCarren Park.
Still don't get why anyone walks alone at 3am. That's just stupid.
Especially a woman in that nabe with all the rapes happening.
oblivious 3 a.m. drunk damsel = easy mark sucker
What a great investment for wannabe thiefs.
Even if it costs $1,000 each.
Buy 10, go to a bank, taser the guards.
and employees.
What's better, taser the money truck drivers.
What's better, taser the cops, steal their guns.
That really sucks, but I wish more criminals would use tasers instead of guns/knives. It would prevent a lot of the tragedies we've been seeing. Of course I would prefer that they didn't commit crime at all!
living in ny is a pleasure, specially when you have to walk home.
