Yas Posted December 1, 2011 at 01:29 AM Share Posted December 1, 2011 at 01:29 AM A shopper struck back at the man who tried to rob her in the parking lot of a Joliet Wal-Mart, driving after him and hitting him with her car before he got away, police said. Joliet police Cmdr. Al Roechner said the woman had just finished putting groceries into her silver Pontiac about 10 p.m. at the store at 2424 W. Jefferson St. when Byron J. Adams, 31, of Joliet approached her and demanded her purse. When she said she didn’t have one Adams took out a handgun, but the woman ignored him and started to drive away, Roechner said. The woman apparently got angry, though, and decided to chase after Adams with her car, Roechner said. She succeeded in hitting him, but he was able to run away. He was unarmed when he was found nearby, and he did not require medical treatment, Roechner said. He was charged with armed robbery.

billzfx4 Posted December 1, 2011 at 02:18 AM Share Posted December 1, 2011 at 02:18 AM The story doesn't say what kind of Pontiac it was. Hopefully it didn't have one of those "high-horsepower assault engines". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

es503IL Posted December 1, 2011 at 03:55 AM Share Posted December 1, 2011 at 03:55 AM No no no... you are going about it all wrong, we should allow people to have cars. Banning cars is just wrong. Now the tires on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirflyguy Posted December 1, 2011 at 04:22 AM Share Posted December 1, 2011 at 04:22 AM What about the children? The children!!!! If we are to prevent drive-by crimes, we need to get rid of the main vehicle in the crime: the car! Then, there would never be any more drive-by crimes EVER.

papa Posted December 1, 2011 at 05:26 AM Share Posted December 1, 2011 at 05:26 AM I hope she didn't have any of those big tires on her car. There is no reason to have tires as big as some of them are. I mean , some of them are 10 inches wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglebob Posted December 1, 2011 at 03:12 PM Share Posted December 1, 2011 at 03:12 PM lets pray it's not a black pontiac, or we are all screwed LOL I understand GM has stopped production of Pontiacs or will soon, so no Black Pontiac ban legislation is needed. Maybe a new "stimulus plan" will be introduced to take existing "Assault Pontiacs" off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
