Nurse strangles intruder

[DesertFox]

A nurse returning from work discovered an intruder armed with a hammer in her home and strangled him with her bare hands, police said.

Susan Kuhnhausen, 51, ran to a neighbor's house after the confrontation Wednesday night. Police found the body of Edward Dalton Haffey, 59, a convicted felon with a long police record.

Haffey, about 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, had convictions including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, robbery, drug charges and possession of burglary tools. Neighbors said Kuhnhausen's size — 5-foot-7 and 260 pounds — may have given her an advantage.

Don't mess with big wimmen.

Or ones in wheelchairs, either.

Another story with a happy ending! I love garbage disposal stories! But, what in the heck is "reasonable force" in defending yourself?

When all projectiles have achieved center-mass?

[Wolfcounsel]

You don't want all projectiles to reach center-mass. You want him to bleed profusely from several wounds. That's why it is good to practice aiming for the big arteries, like the femoral artery, brachial artery, et cetera.:evilgrin:

The nurse's hands will have to be registered as lethal weapons.

Does she use those hands to administer enemas?

Usually, when you hear about nurses being involved in crimes where someone dies, they're the victims.

Does she use those hands to administer enemas?As long as she wears latex gloves, the intruder is in no danger of infection. Too bad about the loss of oxygen to his head, but it's not as if he was using it anyway.

Center of mass of the larynx. That's where I'd aim. That way, if I missed a little to one side or the other, I'd catch one a them there carrot thingies. If I missed a little high I'd take out his chinny chin chin. If I missed a little low I'd have his wind pipe and could listen to the music of his rasping for air until the life oozed from his self. And in all cases, even missing a bit I'd still prolly do a job on his spine. If everything else failed he could play Christopher Reeve the rest of his useless evil life.

Unless he knows my chiropractor.

Come to think of it, I'd just as soon tie him down and go ahead and shoot him in all five a them spots.





That's right, FISTED. This one's fer YOUSE

Haffey had worked as a custodian under Kuhnhausen at an adult video store,. . . This is the equivalent of assistant crack whore, right? I guess that's a cream job. Requires the use of a mop AND a squee-gee.

I just watched "Frequency" with Dennis Quaid and thought of this thread. :D The movie had "Nightingale murders."
