Remember the Frozen Turkey Attack?

Published by homemaker at 1:41 pm under Current Events Edit This

Well, that was at Thanksgiving.  Now we have a new one for Christmas.  In Miramar, Florida, Eric Lopez Devictoria had a gun pulled on him during a pizza delivery.  Just before being fired on, quick-thinking Eric threw his hot, pepperoni pizza at the perpetrator, then ran like heck.  Mr. Devictoria called the police giving them time to catch three teenage suspects soon after the incident.  The delivery man was unhurt and the suspects have been charged with armed robbery.

Reports did not specify whether or not the perpetrators were actually eating the pizza when they were caught.

I like this story.  it gives those of us who are essentially “unarmed” hope.  Jeez, if a greasy pizza can ward off a thief (or attacker), I wonder what other handy items we could use to defend ourselves with, aside from a frozen Thanksgiving turkey. 

What would you suggest?

    Well, in Iraq, they appear to use shoes. Though the escaping barefoot could cause injuries. Thanks for the laugh.

    I think you are accidentally developing a new form of martial arts. What shall we call it? Grandma Jiu Jitsu? I bet you could do some serious damage with knitting needles. “You could poke an eye out with that thing.”
