http://onlineathens.com/local-news/2012-06-22/armed-passerby-saved-woman-brutal-attack-near-downtown-athensI went running toward them and started hollering. You get down and turn her loose or Ill shoot, Terry said in an interview Friday with the Athens Banner-Herald.

You have simply been very lucky and have never encountered a criminal when they are violent.

There are some real badasses who beat women. They may be less common than the cowards you're talking

Except, perp ended up with a gun he stole from lady (because she was carrying in car).
