"PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A nurse returning from work discovered an intruder armed with a hammer in her home and strangled him with her bare hands, police said. Susan Kuhnhausen, 51, ran to a neighbor's house after the confrontation Wednesday night. Police found the body of Edward Dalton Haffey 59, a convicted felon with a long police record. Police said there was no obvious sign of forced entry at the house when Kuhnhausen, an emergency room nurse at Providence Portland Medical Center, got home from work shortly after 6 p.m. Under Oregon law people can use reasonable deadly force when defending themselves against an intruder or burglar in their homes. Kuhnhausen was treated and released for minor injuries at Providence. Haffey, about 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, had convictions including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, robbery, drug charges and possession of burglary tools. Neighbors said Kuhnhausen's size -- 5-foot-7 and 260 pounds -- may have given her an advantage. "Everyone that I've talked to says 'Hurray for Susan,' said neighbor Annie Warnock, who called 911. "You didn't need to calm her. She's an emergency room nurse. She's used to dealing with crisis.""

5'7" 260 lbs... DAMN!

The only thing that could have been better is if she had been black with the attitude of Wanda Sykes... totally degrading the guy as he peaced out.

Doctors say it may give her a heart attack.

Skinny Dead Piece of Shit - Pwnt

I'd hate to be the next patient in the hospital getting treatment from her. I don't know why, but it would be unsettling to receive care from lethal hands.

9/8/2006 5:27:28 PM

Well being a nurse she should know where to push and how hard and for how long. I'm just impressed she could keep him from squirming around and out of her grasp.

you can incapacitate someone with a good choke VERY quickly (a few seconds), and from there, killing him would require almost no effort.

Yeah, a lot of people try and choke for the wind-pipe when you really have to cut off blood flow to the brain, by going around the windpipe.

well, the airway will work, but not nearly as quickly...he'll be freaked out, pissed, scared, and desperate, and he'll have a pretty long while to act out on all of that.

if you restrict those carotid arteries, he'll be drooling on himself by the time he realizes what's happening.

9/8/2006 11:55:17 PM

Thats messed up. They are treating the dead guy as a worthless piece of crap simply because he had a lengthy police record?

I mean, I agree with her defending herself with whatever means necessary, but she shouldn't be hailed as a hero for killing a skinny 59 year old.

id hate to be killed by a fat bitch

imagine the last thing u feel being her sweat dripping all over you

9/9/2006 1:12:49 AM

^^i don't see why not


although i'm surprised that there aren't legal issues here. when you choke someone, he will be unconcious long before you kill him...you would have to keep choking him after it's no longer really a matter of self-defense.

i'm not saying that it bothers me--it doesn't really bother me that she killed him.

it does bother me that she's 260 lbs, though. that's ridiculous, revolting, and totally inexcusable.
