Girl Power


How would you like to tell your cellmates you were beaten up by a mob of teenaged girls?

    PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A man described by authorities as a known sexual predator was chased through the streets of South Philadelphia by an angry crowd of Catholic high school girls, who kicked and punched him after he was tackled by neighbors, police said on Friday.

    Rudy Susanto, 25, who had exposed himself to teen-age girls on as many as seven occasions outside St. Maria Goretti School, struck again on Thursday just as students were being dismissed, police said.

    But this time, a group of girls in school uniforms angrily confronted Susanto with help from some neighbors, police said. When Susanto tried to run, more than 20 girls chased him down the block. Two men from the neighborhood caught him and the girls took their revenge.

    "The girls came and started kicking him and punching him, so I wasn't going to stop them," neighbor Robert Lemons told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

    Susanto was later treated for injuries at a local hospital. Police said he would be charged with 14 criminal counts including harassment, disorderly conduct, open lewdness and corrupting the morals of a minor.
Hmm, when it happened to me (different dude, obviously), all I could do was exclaim, "SHIT!" laugh really hard, and start walking quickly in the general direction of other people. This guy was in a car, though.

I like the punching and kicking approach mucccch better.

Saw the story this morning and have been laughing about it all day. I think I made a similar comment about this guy getting his butt whipped in prison. There's hierarchy in prison and I'm wondering where beaten-up-by-teenage-girls fits in.

physics geek: he's on bottom

Bonnie Heather: That was a gem of a post, although it is a wonder he doesn't press charges on the neighbor and the girls for beating him up. Some scumbag lawyer will probably talk him into suing at some point in time. Friggin lawyers = pricks.

Sex crimes seem to be the last area of society where we give our selves full reign to see things completely in black and white.

While I found the story to be funny and somewhat titillating lets put it into perspective.

1 The girls didn't beat up this guy. He was caught by two MEN who held him down while the girls took potshots at him.

2 Jokes about prison rape aren't funny. If you think that you should be subjected to repeated gang rape because you took your penis out in public then you need to read some of the stories at this website http://www.spr.org/ Prison rape isn't funny and people should stop making jokes about it.
