Better Not Rob Her

Every day on line I try to I read some of the New Orleans 'Times Picayune', my former home town newspaper to keep up with the events there. Well, today I noticed a crime piece that took place in the suburb (Kenner) where I lived that is typically New Orleans in weirdness and thought it was funny enough to pass along to you. It's kind of primer for a lady who is a target for a purse snatching. This is how the 40-year-old woman targeted as a victim apparently scared off a purse-snatcher who approached her in a Kenner grocery store parking lot.

The Times Picayune reported the following, taken from a police report that was filed....

"The woman had finished her grocery shopping at the Winn-Dixie (grocery store) in the 2100 block of Williams Boulevard and was walking to her car at about 5 p.m. on Jan. 29, the police report said. She said she noticed a man with the hood of his hoodie shirt covering his face, which she thought was odd because it wasn't cold, the report said.

Her purse, described in the report as a brown, medium-size shoulder-strapped accessory valued at $65, had been in the child seat portion of her shopping cart. She grabbed the purse and placed it around her neck and shoulder and turned her back toward the man, the police report said. Moments later, she felt someone hit her back and grab the shoulder strap of her purse and try to lift it over her head.

She turned to face the man, the report said, and yelled at him, "Mother-f-----, you ain't getting my purse!"

He released the purse strap and took a "fighter's stance," the police report said. The victim took a defensive stance too, the report said, and shouted, "Boy, I will kick your a--."

The man, later identified as Angelo Molinario, 27 , said, "oh, s---" and ran and "dove" into the rear passenger window of a green Toyota Camry, the police report said. Police later determined that an accomplice drove that car, the report said.

Before the car drove away, the victim wrote down the license plate and called police."

Wow! Police arrested the attempted and very embarrassed purse snatcher Molinaro and his getaway driver shortly thereafter. Too bad she didn't have again so she could have shot his ---. That woman needs to have her own action TV show. Hmmm It could be called 'Kicking ---" Or maybe just "You Ain't Gettin My Purse, Mother-f-----" Haha I may finally be persuaded to waste time and deaden my brain watching a reality show if they gave that lady her own TV series.

I used to shop at that grocery store often. It's not a crime ridden area, sitting in the midst of middle class and upper income subdivisions. The Treasure Chest Riverboat gambling casino is a short walk from the store and one would think there is more robbery (of people who turn over their money to the casino every time they lose at the gaming tables) just down the road.

Anyway, I hope Hollywood or some boxing or wrestling promoter signs that kick --- woman to a contract soon. Hmmm Even the Winn Dixie store could use her as a one woman kick --- security team.
