Caught by a Woman

Brian Nichols was caught by a woman. Not the female FBI agent in the picture two posts below, but the young mother in whose apartment he spent his last night of freedom.

Ashley Smith, a Christian taken hostage by Nichols, read to him from the Bible and "The Purpose Driven Life" during the night. She talked of her life and suffering. She shared her hope in Christ and told him that he had caused others to suffer and should surrender so that no more would be hurt. The next morning, Nichols let Smith go to her daughter, knowing that she would likely turn him in.

By being compassionate, level-headed, womanly, Smith brought Nichols to surrender. Need we elaborate on the nonsense of feminism trying to turn women into macho, pistol-toting men? There's more strength in a woman being a woman than a woman playing a man.

Fascinating series of video clips in which Smith describes her night as a hostage available here. Gripping video.
