Beauty Students Beat Up Gunman

SHREVEPORT, La. — An armed gunman brought out the beast in a group of beauty school students.

On June 14, police said, a man brandishing a gun entered Blalock's Beauty College in Shreveport and told the women there to lie down on the floor. After collecting money from the students, authorities said, the gunman ran toward the front door but he was tripped by college manager Dianne Mitchell.

Abram Bishop, an employee of the school, then jumped on the alleged robber and pinned him to the ground. Led by Mitchell, the beauty school students, authorities said, descended upon the suspect and beat him with curling irons, chairs and wooden table legs.

"Basically everything that was not nailed down he was getting it with," Shreveport police Officer Eric Swartout.

"I got him and I wore him out with that stick," said Mitchell.

The gunman, identified as Jared Gipson, was hospitalized and charged with armed robbery. Police said they later found out that Gipson's gun wasn't loaded, but one student had no regrets about giving him a beating.

"He got what he deserved," said student Renae Collier.

Police said they do not recommend that people attack armed robbers.

Three cheers for these women! Can't you see this idiot in jail telling his fellow inmates how he was captured. Beaten to a pulp by a beauty school.

Well, yeah - picturing a thug getting the snot beat out of him with a curling iron is funny.

Grab a big can of AquaNet and a lighter!

Hehehe - message to BG's - do NOT mess with the beauty brigade!

It matters not one jot if his gun was empty - he got what was coming and earned it. Pity he couldn't stick around for desert! Might have given the gals a chance to find something really effective - like Louisville sluggers etc!

Goly, curling irons, chairs and wooden table legs huh! Tick the girls off and they can find a resource to get the job done. Think about the girls you know, there are a bunch that are pretty dam strong and can handle a guy pretty good. Power to the beauty's, they are beauty's aren't they?

Ha ha, that's awesome. I'm glad they got him. I can just picture a whole bunch of women in a beauty parlor beating the crap out of some thug, total movie scene.

[Prospector]

Yeah, just think....if they'd been barberettes, they'd had straight razors too!

chairs and wooden table legs huh!

Just some of my students.

You might not know this, but I once opined that a biker using the furniture in a saloon was as dangerous as any martial artist I had ever met.

I christened furniture fighting as "furn-fu."

All kidding aside, I still believe in it. Nobody who gets whacked with a chair ever gets back up.

I heard about that on the news while at lunch with a bunch of co-workers. We laughed so hard we had to explain ourselves to the waitress that explained to everyone else that thought we were nuts. The whole place was laughing when they heard the story....

what really ticks me of is the LEO comment.
If somebody threatens you why shouldn't you wack the snot out of him.
Yeah my daughter carries a 1911 Springer in chrome. I asked her why chrome and she told me she wants the BG to see how bad he screwed up. she really said that.
Damn I done good raising her up.

ROFL! Someone please tell me this was caught on a security camera.

Air Force Shooter, I totally agree with your comment ref. what the LEO types said. (They want sheeple. Job security ??? Call 911,we'll protect you. You should not try to protect yourself, you might get hurt. ETC.,ETC.)------ Also ref. the comment that your daughter made,>>>> you DID raise her right. This is the frame of mind that I try to instill in my female students. Years ago I used to have one of them red rubber suits that I wore and after royally pi$$in' off my female students(intentionally) I'd have them jump me and whale on me with just about anything that they could grab a hold of. The suit wore out after about 1 1/2 years and I always came home black and blue. I didn't buy another suit !! ----- In the mid 70's a JAL passenger jet had a attempted skyjacking by a single Japanese man. The (mostly) Japanese passengers beat him to death. He ended up with over 100 puncture wounds made by the pointy tops of umbrellas. The pilot continued on to his destination(Osaka) and when the plane landed a stretcher was brought on board to offload the "unwanted baggage"(the skyjacker). Some people absolutely refuse to become a victum. I applaud them.-------
