Don’t Try to Rob People with Curling Irons

by Max Hartshorne on June 21, 2005

Found this on the web.

‘They Just Whooped The Hell Out Of Him!’
An armed robber brandishing a revolver and some tough talk entered Blalock’s Beauty College demanding money.

He left crying, bleeding and under arrest, after Dianne Mitchell, her students and employees attacked the suspect, beating him into submission. Mitchell tripped the robber as he tried to leave and cried aloud “get that sucker!” as the group of about 20, nearly all women, some wielding curling irons, bludgeoned him until police arrived.

“You can tell the world don’t mess with the women here,” said the 53-year-old who manages the Shreveport beauty school.
