I would prefer a cast iron skilet to this light weight pot, because iron skilets DO BIG DAMAGE ! Even better if she would have a gun ! This are NOT animals not humans, we call them GARBAGE of our society. Not even animals do behave this way ! DO NOT COME and say to us that “they are gods children” ! How about put them in the category of the devil ! We never harmed anybody in our lifes ! We do NOT hesitate to do everything in our power to stay a live, regardless of outcome to the attackers !

Congratulations Ellen, for sure you were not prepared, and that was everything you could do to defend yourself
They may be God’s children, but sometimes His children need a swift smack to the head with a saucepan. Also, if His children try to harm you, they’ve granted you permission to give them that swift smack to head. Excellent work.







Way to go Ellen!
