Last week Democratic Rep. Angie Craig reported a man “trapped her and demanded to go inside her apartment.” At that moment, the Minnesota representative said, “fight or flight kicked in,” and she did all she could to escape him.
She explained the terrifying incident on CBS News:
Hamlin punched Craig in the face and grabbed her by the shoulder and collarbone, police said.“All I could do was throw my coffee over my shoulder, which startled him,” Craig said. “But as soon as he regained, he came back toward me, and again, it was only until we got to the floor the elevator was headed to that I was able to escape.”
Thanks to liberal policies, all she could do was throw her hot coffee at him and hoped that would be enough to escape. Thankfully, it was—this time.
Americans—especially those on the right— have been saying the weak punishments given to repeat criminals across the country are putting Americans in danger. Now Rep. Craig is calling for changes.
Rep. Craig seems to be agreeing now changes must happen to prevent new victims:
“I was assault No. 13 on his record,” Craig said. “And I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure there’s not a 14, a 15, a 20.”“I mean, it wasn’t even in every instance that he got 10 days or 30 days. Many times, the charges were completely dropped before any justice was achieved at all,” she added.“If you throw somebody in jail for 10 days and think, ‘There’s your punishment, and we’re gonna let you right back on the street,’ what the hell do you think’s gonna happen?” Craig said.
Now we know why some in congress have been fighting so hard to be able to defend themselves. What happens when hot coffee doesn’t work?
