Today in Badassery

How can i not invoke William Shatner's unique performance in TJ Hooker?

Janelle Della-Libera had her purse snatched while she was fueling her car, and promptly jumped on the hood of the perpetrator's car in an attempt to retrieve her purse:

Janelle Irene Della-Libera was filling up the gas tank on the passenger side of her Volkswagen Tiguan at a Dania Beach Mobil station when she heard the driver's door of the SUV open and close.

A man was captured on video stealing Della-Libera's $300 black Kate Spade purse on Saturday afternoon. And within seconds, the 32-year-old Fort Lauderdale woman leaped onto the front windshield of his Cadillac DeVille sedan.

From her precarious perch, Della-Libera was filmed reaching inside the open door to try and keep him at the station, at 3991 Stirling Rd., the Broward Sheriff's Office said.

The driver made a sharp turn, Della-Libera lost her balance and tumbled head first to the pavement, where the Cadillac ran over her left ankle, according to the video and a deputy's incident report.

After she caught her breath, Della-Libera seemed to regret her actions.

"He could have killed me," Della-Libera told WPLG-Ch.10. "What if he had a gun? What if he would have been more vicious?...The scenario could have played out so much worse."

Like a significant portion of bad-ass behavior, it was not perhaps the wisest thing to do, because life is not TJ Hooker.
