Although this is a nice survival story, she certainly didn't whoop his ass. Also, if this incident had happened behind closed doors, this women would have probably had a much more persistent rapist on her hands. That's why Sharon was killed, while this women walked away unharmed. In Sharron's case, her attacker got to her in an isolated aria. He knew that nobody would be able to hear Sharron's screams so he went absolutely crazy because he know that he could get away with it. BTW, I'm sorry to hear that you lost such a close friend. Congratulations for turning the pain from your loss into something that will make society a better place. You do good work!

I applaud your revised headline. Now that would be news we all could use. I so agree, most media stories monger fear. I applaud your revised headline. Now that would be news we all could use.
