SAN ANTONIO -- Police are looking for two teenagers they say are responsible for an attack on the south side. It happened near Cliff Avenue and South Flores just before midnight Sunday.

Police tell News 4 WOAI a 50-year-old transvestite was walking home when the two teens attempted to steal her purse.

When the victim tried to fight back, police say one of the teens stabbed her.

Neighbors and business owners say robberies have been increasing in the area. They are concerned the criminals are now becoming more violent.

The victim was taken to University Hospital in critical condition. Officers believe the teens live in the area and are working to track them down.

Joican -- Honey I kicked off *my* closet door decades ago! Gender is between the ears, darling, NOT the legs. A soldier coming back from Iraq or Afghanistan who's been wounded in the genitals and had to have them amputated is still a guy, right? That's because he's male between the ears, too. Hopefully you can understand that Joicat, but then, seeing all the ignorance in the comments, I'm optimistic you aren't as ignorant as the others here.

MarleneB-WHO GIVE A F-U-C-K about the terminology used. if he was born with a p-e-n-i-s and size doesn't matter,then he's a MAN. you sound like a fool, therefore i will address you as such. no one deserved to be stabbed nor beaten but their lifestyle makes them more prone to these types of attacks. stay in the closet and make us all happy

First, the writer was wrong to use the word "transvestite"! It's crossdresser, if she is one - she may be transsexual for all I know. The writer needs to consult their AP Style Guide, and so does the editor! Second, the victim is NOT a "he/she" or "tranny" and *definitely* NOT an "it"! She is a human being, with the same rights as everyone else. Anyone who used "it" or were insulting to the victim has been reported for abuse. Third, who knows why she was walking in the neighborhood that late at night? For *anyone* to insinuate she was "hooking" is not only a pathetic loser, but a degenerate as well. There are many stories of crossdressers who're in the closet who walk around the block enfemme late at night so they don't encounter their neighbors. For the record, I'm a 50-year-old, male-to-female transsexual, who lives in Ohio. You never know who in your neighborhood dresses in drag for a lark, or to relax after a hard day/week at work, or is transitioning from one gender to the other. Remember *that* the next time you think about insulting someone from the trans community...

Dodie baby, you are pathetic! I hope that when they start rounding up fanatics and zealots that you are the first.

This poor tranny did not deserve to be stabbed on the street. When I grew up on that part of town no man or boy for that matter would have gon near a tranny for fear of being labeled as such themselves. These young studs probably thought they had an experienced woman thay could brag to their idiot friends (if they have any) about to show their manlihood If they hadn't been stupid and horny they would have steered clear. Hope when they find the little turds they lock them up with the big boys. Ihear fresh young meat is always welcome on the cellblock.

Mother said that homos are natural but I'm getting irritated with it all. I totally get that they make the candles and magic and get some kind of ticket into the church, but my brother wound up as an Episcopalien and gives all his money to the scientologists. I want something done about this. The Catholics don't care anymore.

there was another attack on a lady trying to get her purse with her kids present at a VIA bus stop during regular daylight hours not too long ago. women are too often victims of crimes because usually they aren't as physically strong, which is probably why more of them graduate from university then men do, but more men should be going to college too.

So homosexuals are dragging down children, and what exactly are all the catholic priests doing?

geena5 - 7/12/2010 4:42 PM
I stopped carrying a purse around for the most part, it is too much a bullseye target for thieves and too much work to babysit a stupid bag

There a some details missing from this story I'm sure. I wonder if it was Gran Torino or BuckshotBob.
