The Scum Better Think Twice When Mugging Wheelchair Occupants

The only sad thing here about this story? That the perpetrator isn't dead. The female victim spared him his life by just shooting him in the elbow.

Woman in Wheelchair Shoots Alleged Mugger - Forbes.com: "Margaret Johnson's wheelchair might have made her look like an easy target. But when a mugger tried to grab a chain off her neck Friday, the 56-year-old pulled out her licensed .357 pistol and shot him, police said.

Johnson said she was in Harlem on her way to a shooting range when the man, identified by police as 45-year-old Deron Johnson, came up from behind and went for the chain.

'There's not much to it,' she said in a brief interview. 'Somebody tried to mug me, and I shot him.'

Deron Johnson was taken to Harlem Hospital with a single bullet wound in the elbow, police said. He faces a robbery charge, said Lt. John Grimpel, a police spokesman.

Margaret Johnson, who lives in Harlem, has a permit for the weapon and does not face charges, Grimpel said. She also was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and later released."

There should be special upgraded charges for such a POS that would try and rob or harm someone in a wheelchair, after all homosexuals and minorities have special charges just for them called hate crime legislation, why not for someone in a wheelchair or otherwise handicapped or incapacitated?
