Woman kills attacker with his gun, unknowingly takes out a serial killer

[mrjarrell]

A West Virginia sex worker managed to get her would be killers gun away from him and shoot him dead. Looks like the guy was a serial killer, too. Might well have been responsible for murders in Chillicothe, OH and possibly in Las Vegas, too. Good for her. Glad she managed to survive this encounter and had the fighting spirit and resolve to do what was necessary. All too often the girls in her profession are victims of killers like this. This time was certainly different.

Good for her. Saved herself and the taxpayers of WV the cost of trial & jail.

I love stories with happy endings! Good for her.

Very good ending to that story! F-ing animal.

Chalk up another one.

A favorite anti-2A trope is that the bad guy will just take your gun away from you and shoot you with it. But when Clayton Cramer and David Burnett looked into this (among other things) they found something interesting. Out of 4,669 newspaper accounts of defensive gun uses collected between 2003 and 2008, they found that in 238 reports a gun was taken away from its owner. The interesting part of this is that only 11 of those times was the gun taken from the good guy (and in one of those, when the intended victim's rifle was taken from him, he simply pulled his handgun and shot one of the robbers). In the other 227 cases, the intended victim disarmed his or her attacker of a firearm.

That is some good info. I hope she is cooping well. Even though it was right it is probably still weighing on her soul.

I would think being a hooker may have hardened her "soul" to the point that a justified killing won't affect her. Who knows though?

BTW, when did we start calling them sex workers?

Maybe we should replace the term serial killer with enthusiastic population control advocate?

Nice!

You're absolutely correct, how about we start calling them "Personal Entertainment Therapists"?

Can we expect Shannon What'sHerName to comment on this?

Well, hooker originally referred to a thief. Sex worker is certainly more descriptive, if rather clinical.

Doesn't support her pre-conceived notions about defensive gun use (of which there is none) so I doubt we'll hear from her in this case.

I see what you (Mark1911) did there

And pass a public resolution praising their work in said population control?

Other[edit]

In 1971, the Texas legislature unanimously passed a resolution honoring DeSalvo for his work in "population control"—after the vote, Waco Representative Tom Moore, Jr. admitted that he had submitted the legislation as an April Fool's Day joke against his colleagues—his declared intent was to prove that they pass legislation with no due diligence given to researching the issues beforehand. Having made his point, he withdrew the resolution.[SUP][24][/SUP]
