Yesterday, I heard about the 11 year old Florida girl who escaped a kidnapping attempt earlier this week. I knew she fought the guy until he ran off. But what I didn’t know until today is that she, Alyssa is her name, helped catch him by using a trick she’d learned from a tv show. Alyssa is a big fan of Law and Order SVU. In one of the episodes, an attack victim smeared paint on the intruder. Alyssa had been working with blue paint when this jerk rolled up, jumped out of his car, and tried to abduct her. When he grabbed at her, she smeared blue paint on his arms. Alyssa says that she feels proud of herself. As she should. I wouldn’t be surprised is the cast and crew of SVU send her a little something or even visit.
I tried to think of anything useful I’ve learned from watching tv shows, but came up blank. I mean, I watch shows like Falcon and The Winter Soldier. So, I guess if I’m ever in a situation with terrorists and happen to have a cybernetic metal arm lying around………..
