In reply to the discussion: 5'5" female Federal Marshal takes down 6'4" male who grabbed her ass while she was jogging. [View all]RVN VET
(492 posts)18. Not if it went down the way she described it.
The guy is huge and charging her. She kicks to put him pretty much out of commission, and punches to make sure he doesn't get up. Hell, she's tiny -- especially compared to the dude. If she jumped up and down on him, sure, that would be excessive. But i don't see it in this description.
I agree, though, $500,000 seems whacked -- unless this is someone they were tracking for other assaults, which is a possibility.

Gosh, it's not like he raped her or anything. Guys can't even teasingly flip up a skirt anymore.

It's good to know self defense, however, make no mistake, there's always luck involved

If someone's life is threatened, and only if so, I recommend trying this guy's techniques

Yes I'd feel the same if 6'4", 210 lb. woman sexually assaulted a 5'5",150 lb. man
