Houston Chronicle - Monique Lawless had nothing personal at stake when she saw three men leaving a Walmart store in Alvin with three cases of beer they didn't pay for. She was a customer, not an employee, of the store. "I'm just sick of the lawlessness," the 42-year-old Alvin woman said. "They knew their chances of getting caught were slim to none. Those kids would have gotten away with it, celebrated their theft and probably continue to do it." She spotted the men getting into an older-model sports car "so I just started running towards the car, jumped on the hood and was kicking at the front windshield, trying to kick the windshield in," she said. "I am screaming, 'You punks, you are not going to get away with this,' and people are looking at me, thinking what's wrong with her?" Lawless said. "People were just standing around, probably thinking I am crazy." Her crime-fighting effort didn't stop there. "Then I jumped on the roof and tried to kick in the sunroof, and in the meantime they're just laughing," said Lawless, a mother of two. "I was really upset then. I was mad." When the driver started the car, Lawless slid down the top of the vehicle and grabbed the driver's door handle. The vehicle lunged forward and she let go, but not before being dragged along the pavement. The three men, who are brothers, were in the Brazoria County Jail on Monday facing charges of felony evading arrest and aggravated robbery. Sylvester Andre Thompson, 21; Sylvester Durlentren Thompson, 21; and Sylvester Primitivo Thompson, 19, live at 4925 Harbin in Santa Fe.
Umm how about some charges for this wild vigilante woman, too? Is this the message we want to send to society? Any wild menopausal woman can run around stomping in the sunroof of your maxima?
Listen lady, this is a society, we have rules and laws. If these kids want to flaunt the law and steal beer, then so be it, the cops and the law will handle them. But you can’t just go ambushing every Walmart shopper you see doing things that you find unacceptable. First of all you’d be ambushing all day, Walmart is a breeding ground for these types, but second of all it’s not your job. No one elected you Judge Judy, this aint swift justice with Nancy Grace. Next time just do us all a favor and finish checking out with your adult depends, toothbrush, and $4 discount DVD’s.
PS: I can’t figure out what is stranger, the fact that this woman’s last name really is Lawless, or that the brothers all have the first name Sylvester. Just goes to show, what happens in Walmart, will usually end up in the evening news for civilized people’s enjoyment.
