‘They Knew They Messed With the Wrong Girl’: Female Jogger and Kung Fu Expert Takes on Two Teens Who Accosted Her

Twenty-three-year-old Priscilla Dang has been taking martial arts lessons since she was 5. At just 5 feet 4 inches tall, she can’t stand to see women mistreated. That’s why earlier this month, her Kung Fu training kicked in when she said she was accosted while out for a run.

Dang was jogging near her home in Vancouver, Wash. on June 14 when she said two male teens approached her on bikes. According to the Columbian, one of them distracted her with a smirk while the other rode up close behind and firmly smacked her buttocks.

“I grabbed him and said, ‘You need to apologize, and he did,’” Dang told KATU-TV.

But she said things escalated though when the second teen called her a derogatory term.

“It just made something snap in me, like, it’s not OK. It’s so disrespectful,” she said.

the blaze belongs to that crew cut fuckwit Glenn Beck and his pathetic site basically plagiarized the story from original material and added a byline onto it.

The Columbian has the original here:

with other sites. It's not like they advertise who owns it.

What really burns me with places like The Blaze is that they'll put a byline on the article making it look like it's an original piece and then link to the two or three other sources that actually did the work.
