GRANDMA BEATS INTRUDER WITH A CROWBAR

Monday morning at 6:30 a.m., Angela Ferguson, 58, was asleep in her home in the Near West Side of Chicago, Illinois, when her 30-year-old neighbor Dorval Grice allegedly crept in to her bedroom to attack her. She claimed he lunged himself on top of her, tore her underwear off and demanded sex, all the while shouting: “Don’t look at me, I’m the Grim Reaper”. He grabbed her hair and punched her repeatedly in the face, she said. He kept saying: “I’m the Grim Reaper, I’m the Grim Reaper.” Ferguson managed to grab a beer stein from her bedside table and smashed Grice over the head with it, pushing him out of the room when he lost his control of her. When he forced his way back in, Ferguson retrieved a steel crowbar stashed beneath her bed to beat him further. Grice eventually lost consciousness, slumped in a pool of blood on her bedroom floor. Ferguson, who has known the man since he was a baby, then went onto the street to call the police. She said she had to phone three times before officers came to the scene despite living a block and a half from the Chicago Police Department’s 12th precinct. She credited her tough upbringing and boxing skills for her impressive defense.
* I like the beer stein by the bed.
* The guy might not be the Grim Reaper but the story’s plenty grim.
* Now the real Grim Reaper’s so insulted, he’s going to come for this guy twenty years early.
* Sadly, this amounts to a warm happy story in Chicago right now.
* I mean nobody even fired any guns. That’s a win in Chicago.
* This happened on a Monday morning at 6:30 a.m.? I don’t even like it when my alarm goes off Monday morning.
