Do they have anything like Miranda Rights in India? How does she know the guy didn't want to give himself up at the last moment? Well, in some parts of America, idiots would be asking these questions. Good on her for standing tall. But but but, didn’t she give him a chance to surrender?

You don’t have to go to India for bad-ass women, hillbilly women are all pretty damn bad-ass — and they have prior experience shooting guns.

I find the difference in reactions to this story and the story of the student with the samurai sword fascinating. Where's everyone saying that no one should have the right to defend their home or themselves? Where are the people saying that she should have just fled? Is the difference that she is a girl? Or is the difference that her father was being attacked? And why is it different, morally (if it is), to refuse to feed and shelter a home-invader vs refusing to allow them to steal your belongings? I'm not convinced the situations are similar, but I smell hypocrisy. As for myself. I'm with the "If I wasn't married" crowd. She's incredible. -abs really has a lot of respect for someone who takes on three armed combatants with a hatchet and after taking one of their assault rifles drives of the remaining survivors, like HUGE RESPECT, like "I will never ever invade a farm where this woman lives" kinds of respect I’m with The Lizardman @26.
