This sounds like a sequel to the Arthur Jarrett sketch in "Monty Python and the Meaning of Life:"
Girls pummel man who exposed himself
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters) -- A man described by authorities as a known sexual predator was chased through the streets of South Philadelphia by an angry crowd of Catholic high school girls, who kicked and punched him after he was tackled by neighbors, police said Friday.
Rudy Susanto, 25, who had exposed himself to teen-age girls on as many as seven occasions outside St. Maria Goretti School, struck again on Thursday just as students were being dismissed, police said.
But this time, a group of girls in school uniforms angrily confronted Susanto with help from some neighbors, police said.
When Susanto tried to run, more than 20 girls chased him down the block. Two men from the neighborhood caught him and the girls took their revenge.
There's no justice like angry Catholic schoolgirl mob justice.
"The girls came and started kicking him and punching him, so I wasn't going to stop them," neighbor Robert Lemons told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Outstanding. From my own limited forays into Philadelphia, I have no problem believing this. I can almost picture a bunch of guys in Sixers caps standing in a circle and cheering. Frankly, it's one of the reasons I wouldn't mind living there.
Well, that and the Yuengling.
Susanto was later treated for injuries at a local hospital. Police said he would be charged with 14 criminal counts including harassment, disorderly conduct, open lewdness and corrupting the morals of a minor.
What are the odds he sues the school? That'd be worth it just to see him laughed out of every court in Pennsylvania.
Denny...who wouldn't be?
It's almost a little too perfect that it was St. Maria Goretti School where this happened. She's a virgin/martyr saint who died after being stabbed while resisting a neighbor who was trying to rape her, forgave him on her deathbed, etc.
I'm trying to think of something clever to say, comparing Maria's story with the ass-kicking Catholic schoolgirls, but I can't quite seem to find my way to it...
Karin, I guess the moral of Maria's story is that a good offense is the best defense. Her modern day minions certainly would seem to agree.
EL SOSANTO vs. LAS MUJERES CATHOLICAS!
Fantastico!
Actually, it's more like Catholic High School Girls In Pursuit Of Vigilante Justice, as noted by Pete: PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (Reuters)...

"Denny...who wouldn't be?"
Y'know, that's probably more amusing to me than it is to the rest of the comment-reading crowd on Pete's blog.
Course, that perv might have actually been turned on by the beating he got from a gang of perky-breasted, plaid-skirted school girls.
