"I said, 'It's not easy to shoot someone. You have to have b---s to do that. And you have none,'" Anna Graham recalled telling the gunman on July 3 in Manhattan, the Daily News reports.


They eventually fled the scene and remain at large.


"He should be very grateful to me that he didn’t shoot, because once he does that it changes his life 100 percent."


... I can hardly wait to try it!

Taunting and ridiculing your attacker has always been a go to strategy in my book. I've always found that insulting them and if possible disrespecting their family is a great idea. Glad it worked out for her.

I am not gonna knock her for what she said. She called a spade a spade. She is lucky he didnt try to prove her wrong, but it doesn't change the fact that she was just speaking honestly. Depending on the situation and who I was dealing with, I might do the same thing.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than smart I guess.

Are you racist? :o

Kidding, what she said could have at least made him think twice. Would I try it? Doubt it.

Aspiring Actress Shot Dead in New York

Published January 28, 2005

Associated Press


An aspiring actress and playwright whose plays looked at the darker side of life was shot and killed during a mugging in a hip area of Manhattan's Lower East Side.


Police said Nicole duFresne (search), 28, of Brooklyn, died from a gunshot wound to the chest following the robbery early Thursday in a once-gritty area now home to trendy bars and restaurants.


Her fiance, Jeffrey Sparks, 28, and another couple had just left a bar when they were approached by four or five men, one of whom demanded money, police said.


Witnesses told investigators that one of the men grabbed for the purse of duFresne's friend, Mary Jane Gibson (search), and duFresne intervened, asking, "What are you going to do, shoot us?"


One of the men then fired one shot at her, police said.
