Goodweed of the North said:I am happy that the woman was able to successfully defend herself. And I don't feel a bit sorry for the criminal. But I think a hero is someone who does something for the good of others, at some sacrifice to themselves, be it giving up a golf game to be at their children's softball game, or risking their lives to save someone else.
I believe the woman in this case is to be congratulated in defending herself, and for taking this vermin from society. If she continues on this path, and is able to remove her estranged husband from society, and not for revenge, but because he is slefish to the point of murder, then she will be a hero.
To be abe to save my own life makes me prepaired. To save another in spite of risk to myself would make me a hero. See what I mean?
That's my humble opinion.

suzyQ3 said:The question was asked in the thread. And I think it was a good question because the term "hero," in my opinion, has been so overused as to be almost divested of its true and important meaning.
This woman defended herself. She was undoubtedly brave and very lucky.
BlueCat said:I saw the question, but didn't understand why it needed to be asked, as the poster said it did. I don't recall seeing anything about her being called a hero.

sheesh, see why i carry a switchblade? i'm known for my kind nature, yet showed a few who was boss since friday for thier comments i care to avoid posting w/out me saying more than i said 'get out of my sight'. they slunk away rather quickly after i asserted that switchbladewas nearby.
buckytom said:it's just as dumb as a skinny chick with a switchblade, imo. sorry luvs, but that's just plain stupid. you're asking to have it used against you, as well as being convicted of assault with a deadly weapon. depending on the size or style, it could be illegal just to carry it.
i know i shouldn't prolong this, but how many fights have you been in where a knife was pulled? this ain't hollywood.
