Fight Like a Girl–
Priscilla Dang was out for a jog in Vancouver when she was groped by two young thugs.
That’s when her Kung Fu training came in and she smacked them in the face.
‘I think they knew they messed with the wrong girl’
KVAL reported:
A Vancouver woman said she used her martial art skills to defend herself after she says she was groped by one stranger and verbally harassed by another last week.
Priscilla Dang was out for a run in her own neighborhood when she says the incident happened on Padden Parkway between 94th and Andresen Road last Friday.
Two teens came up to her on their bikes.
“One went in front and made eye contact with me like a smirk, like I thought he was saying ‘hi.’ The next thing I knew I was pretty much groped on my bottom behind left side,” Dang said.
She fought back and defended herself using her training in martial arts that she’s been studying for 18 years. She’s been mastering the skills of Kung Fu from her older brother. The family owns Summit Wushu Academy in Clackamas that teaches Chinese martial arts.
“So I grabbed him and said, ‘You need to apologize, and he did,’” Dang said.
But it escalated when she says the second teen started swearing at her.
“It just made something snap in me – it’s not OK. It’s so disrespectful,” Dang said.
That’s when her Kung Fu background really kicked in as she punched him twice in the face.
“He started coming in for a few, and I was lucky enough to dodge his shots. I came up for another one and I got him good, and I think that upset him,” she said.
After the second hit, Dang said the teen pulled out a four-inch blade.
“That was when my instinct came in to back off – don’t get so close because he might grab me,” she said.
Cops were then called and the two thugs were arrested.
They picked on the wrong girl.

Got a 100 dollar bill to bet saying these two were No-Limit-N!@#as…….

My wife doesn’t jog but speed walks, instead. She doesn’t know Kung Fu, but she does know S&W Model 642 .38 Spcl loaded with 5 Federal Hydra-Shoks tucked into her small fanny pack along with her Kentucky CCDW permit. I don’t doubt what would happen if some moron grabbed her butt and then began an assault.
Bang!
Rob commented:
Not to be a wet blanket but all that Kung Fu didn’t exactly stop them. Then again the media gets hives when someone dares to shoot a gun in self-defense. Can’t let those little “angels” get mowed down, can we? No, not allowed. Totally racist.

If you see the complete story you will see that to the Police it was catch and release (they could not find the knife). The two will go home and whine about that uppity whatever and if they see her again it won’t be a simple feel up. I hope at that point I hope she gets serious and not give a couple of Dojo slaps. On the other hand, they may catch a glimpse of some of her sword skills and may take a pass on finding out if she is just on her way to the Dojo to try out a new ‘tool’.

Hey girl: Big Bob has it right. Samuel Colt’s appliance is the great equalizer. I hope there is no next time, but if there is one, it might not turn out so well unless you are armed.

One form of martial Arts was created by a woman who was attacked. Many years ago so the saying says.
Women should learn how to protect themselves from attackers and it would be worth your wild to learn the basics. One to Two moves can take an attacker down.
Militant conservative commented:
No need for years of training
Glock is the combat
Tupperware. These vermin
Need to be exterminated.
OBTW she’s hot.
andy pandy commented:
the reporter said at the end, “people should avoid the confrontations.” yes, that’s why the girl out jogging started the confrontation with these poor misguided youths when she should have instead been at home staying out of people’s way. liberals are mental retards.

If it was Vancouver it’s 50-50 as to them being one of the protected species or not. I live about 40 miles south of there and and other than Eugene and a small section of Portland (right across the Columbia river) there are not a lot of hyphenated Americans around. More often it’s a bunch of punk white kids.
Good news is that both Oregon and Washington are CCW states (shall issue)

I bet they were Obama supporters.

A Malaysian variant of an Indonesian story explains that the first complete system of silat was created by a woman who was carrying a basket of food on her head when birds tried to steal the food from her. She dodged the birds coming from all directions while at the same time balancing the basket on her head and attempting to chase the birds away with her hands. She arrived home late and was scolded by her husband who had no food to eat. He tried to beat the woman but she avoided all his attacks and was completely untouched. Her husband had grown tired and after listening to her explanation for being late, asked his wife to teach him what she had learned. Together they created the rudiments of silat.

Maybe, and maybe not. It would probably be in her best interests to change her route and her routine.
The knife was probably tossed way far away or the search wasn’t thorough enough.
A_Nonny_Mouse commented:
She may be “skilled”, but she is also VERY lucky.
Men out-weigh women, out-reach them, and out-punch them. This is not sexist bluster, it’s just a fact of life. (And of course, the “two-legged animals” generally go hunting in packs, which makes it even more dangerous!)
I’m glad she got away unscathed.

It seems there’s a constant and continual escalation of lawlessness anymore. The only way these jerks are going to STOP acting like predators is to have some significant number of them get killed in the course of their attacks.
Unfortunately, after the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin thing, the cops will never again call a justified shooting of a minority thug “justified”. Time, money, manpower, and thousands of reams of paperwork will be spent on each new case of thug-death.
Additionally, any would-be victims who manage to kill their attackers will be prosecuted, persecuted and harassed; their whole lives will be picked apart in the newspapers; they’ll probably lose their jobs due to repeated absences from work (the dozens of depositions and interviews and court appearances and bond hearings and even jail-time); and will probably damn-near go broke trying to defend themselves against the multiple murder and manslaughter charges brought by government wusses eager to prove that “we don’t tolerate racism here (so please, Mr. Sharpton, don’t bring your media circus to town and cause our black underclass to riot)”.
I’m pretty sure that under current political conditions, the civil rights of law-abiding citizens are WAAAY down on the list of “important considerations”; conversely, the civil rights of thugs, muggers, rapists and “gangstas” are SUPREMELY important. I no longer believe we have anything approaching “one single standard of law” which applies to all citizens. I have no idea how we can back away from the Lib-Prog idea of “Special Rules for Special People – because Unfairness (to the Advantaged) is obviously Fair (to the Disadvantaged)”. Feh.

Her family needs to teach her street-fu instead. Crushed balls, smashed knees, broken throat, gouged out eyes – the best form of self defense is when they attacker is laying on the ground dead.
greenfairie commented:
I knew a gal several years ago who was mugged by a man with a knife. Unfortunately for him, she also happened to be a black belt. She got a few cuts. He got some broken ribs and a concussion.

Might be on to something in his/her own way, after all, that was the twitter handle of the now deceased, Trayvon.
There is a reason mugshots/pictures of the perps hasn’t been released from the seemingly liberal KVAL. If Priscilla had broken one of their necks and if the neck she broke wasn’t someone White or Asian, I would assume KVAL would have been calling her a White Asian or a White woman with Asian heritage who profiled and wanted to use her DEADLY skills to do a hate crime, allegedly. Isn’t it fun invoking race into everything, thanks Barack!
