A woman was slightly injured Wednesday when two men grabbed her purse in the Wal Mart parking lot.
Capt. Barry Creasy said the victim was getting into her vehicle when someone grabbed her purse. She was pulled over a shopping cart and knocked to the pavement.
She described her attackers as two tall black men in their early 20s, with slender builds and wearing dark-colored hoodies. They were seen fleeing the scene in a dark green Dodge Neon.
The victim was treated at the scene for minor abrasions by the Danville Life Saving Crew

This is another case of punishing the masses for the acts of individuals. At this rate all our rights will be forfeited and we have to wear uniforms in our everyday lives. I guess we should ban Dodge Neons along with people with slender builds. Take away black hoodies and I gaurantee crime will still be present. It bothers me one believes that articles of clothing influences crime, businessmen in three piece suits commit crimes. What do we say to that?
