Man driving a Prius tries to kidnap woman in downtown Santa Cruz

A man driving a Prius tried to abduct a woman walking alone downtown early today, but the 23-year-old fought him off and ran to safety, police reported.

Good for this brave young woman who fought off this would-be rapist (what else would he have intended, but rape?). If at all possible, women should try to mark the face of slime like this. Carry your keys in your stronger hand, with the keys facing outward between your fingers, and you hand balled into a fist. That way, you can rake the keys across the turd's face. He will be easier for someone to recognize that way, and that someone will, you can hope, turn him in. This piece of **** has probably already shaved off the goatee (anyone out there know a man of this description who has just removed or reconfigured his facial hair?).

How is this incident "not related" to all those other crimes, Sentinel? It's part of an ongoing problem in Santa Cruz AND Watsonville. It is very much related.

I wonder if the folks who manufacture Chevy Vans are worried their niche clientele has decided to go green.

It was reported on KSBW that the slime who was groping girls in Watsonville -- Abraham Flores Mena -- has "been connected" to several incidents in Santa Cruz. Judging from his photo (ugly goatee and all), he may very well be the same same non-person who tried to abduct this SC woman. So much for all these crimes not being related, Sentinel.

Exactly Spotter!

I heard the story on KSCO 1080 this morning, and was so glad to hear the woman got away. But when they mentioned "Prius", I will admit - I laughed a little bit. I guess even kidnappers and rapists care for the environment.

Castration.
Rapists, Pedos, any man who think with the wrong head.
Castration.
