B.C. police seek serial groin-kicker after series of attacks
LANGLEY, B.C. -- Police in Langley are investigating after a woman kicked a man in the groin so hard he lost a testicle -- the latest in a series of similar assaults.

"I just want to know what her problem is," victim Anthony Clark, 22, said this week. "People like her shouldn't be on the streets."

Mr. Clark was walking in the Brookswood area of Langley in early September when he passed his assailant on the sidewalk.

"I was looking down and then I took a passing glance and saw her walk up to me," he said.

That's when the young woman inexplicably kicked him in the groin hard enough to send one of his testicles into his abdomen.

<snip>

Constables have told him there have been three or four similar assaults on other men, Mr. Clark said.

Langley RCMP said they would like to speak to other victims, although there have been no official reported incidents, spokeswoman Const. Holly Marks said.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian woman, in her late teens or early 20s. She was between five-foot-five and five-foot-seven and 130 pounds with a slim build and brown hair.

3. Before you laugh ladies imagine a pain so intense it gets WORSE after it starts. Throbbing pain.
Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 03:14 PM by YOY
Throbbing pain so intese that you cannot walk. Pain so strong that you can vomit from it.

Yes, I know childbirth is more painful...supposedly.

and even if you think something warrants that kick and that pain, remember that these guys did NOTHING to warrant that kick.

5. I can't imagine it's more painful.
Longer maybe, but not more painful. I was kicked in the nuts once and the pain was blinding for a good 5 minutes. The only pain that even came close to it was when I hyperextended my leg and tore every last bit of cartilage in my knee. The pain is just insane. It truly is no laughing matter.

8. Yes, getting nailed in the chops is not fun at all.
However, when it's a normal hit in the nuts video on say, youtube, it's the cringe, laugh, I'm glad it's not me, sort of dark humored amusement.

Like any guy, I have had my share of nut attacks. They suck.

A buddy of mine and I after several beers had a funny yet poignant discussion regarding the sensitivity of the sack. We agreed (not via experimentation mine you) that if just "tapped" correctly in the right way, it can cause a good wince of pain.

Women have no idea. But then again, I have no idea about childbirth.

15. Sometimes the slightest tap can be incredibly painful.
Whenever I see my 3 year old daughter after I've been away for a while, she'll run at me with full force. Typically she'll come crashing into me, so I'll need to protect myself to avoid getting hurt. Sometimes though, she'll manage to hit me in spite of my defenses and one time she managed to put me on the ground.

But other times it requires almost no force whatsoever. One time my girlfriend tossed me the remote for our projector (much lighter than a typical remote, I'd say 6 ounces tops) and it landed just right so it tapped one of my balls. The pain was so intense I came very close to throwing up. I know the biological imperative for having such pain, I just don't know why such seemingly small taps can hurt so insanely bad.

7. For years I had an inguinal hernia that so called "Doctors" said didn't exist.
One thing that it did was not allow one of the little guys to uh....uh....shall we say, hang naturally.

At times it would basically do a turtle act and retreat even further. One day, all that I did was stretch and I could actually hear tearing as it got drawn even further up as the hernia completely ruptured.

Ladies, say what you will, but there is no pain that can be much worse than that. I turned pure white and was so nauseated that I couldn't even walk without help. At least that finally got me sent to see a surgeon who confirmed what I had known for years... I had a freaking hernia.

BTW... never have a vasectomy if the little guys won't cooperate.
It took about 10 attempts to stretch the one down enough to get the clamp to hold. As I lay there nauseated, pale and profusely sweating, even then the Urologist missed the hernia 4 years prior to the big day.

It might look funny on TV, but let me tell you, guys getting hit or kicked there just isn't all that funny to the person on the receiving end.

Any other males out there squirming a little now?

13. I'm not laughing
and neither is any woman who has kneed an aggressive date and been shocked by how much pain it caused him.

Kicking someone so hard a testicle is forced up into the abdomen is hard for me to wrap my brain around. I suggest they try martial arts training places to find this person. The usual knee to the groin is nowhere near forceful enough to do that.

They need to get this person off the street, fast.

16. I have no problem with that being done to an "aggressive date" or worse.
But you are right about removing this lady. She's got issues from the sounds of it.

It sounds like she kicked like a American football punter...shudder.

18. A pain so intense it gets WORSE after it starts?
..can make you vomit? ..puts you flat on your back? ..you mean like the labor process that women experience during childbirth? And to that other fellow, yes I can imagine that kind of blinding pain.. now imagine that it lasts, not five minutes, but for hours..


But, seriously, guys and gals.. do we really have to try and 'out pain' each other, by comparing one kind to another? Physical pain of any kind, can be categorized by intensity/duration/source, etc., but honestly.. in the end it will always be purely subjective.. and, too, it will always be the exlcusive hell of the individual who happens to be experiencing it at the time.. And, on that note, no one can insist their hell is worse than mine, and vice versa.. :)

20. I said that labor is longer. I just can't imagine it's more painful.
If I had to endure the type of pain I had when I was kicked in my balls for more than 5 minutes, I'd have demanded to be euthanized. Also, men don't typically have the option of getting an epidural when they get kicked in the balls, though that's kind of a shame. Once again, I've torn every last bit of cartilage in my knee as my leg was wrenched about 30 degrees in the direction it's not supposed to go and that's the only pain I've experienced that can match getting kicked in the balls.

21. That's why among guys, it's an unwritten rule not to kick another guy in the nuts.
It's considered really low.

But then again, if presented with a situation where my life was in danger, I would have no problem with letting my foot fly.

24. It's actually written in the man code.
Rule 1: Do NOT kick another dude in the nuts.
Rule 2: Do NOT kick another dude in the nuts.
Rule 3: Do NOT kick another dude in the nuts.
Rule 4: Do NOT kick another dude in the nuts.
Rule 5: Do NOT kick another dude in the nuts.
Rule 6: Above all else, honor rules 1 through 5.

25. Dunno about that. Someone is threatening me or the ones I love with a weapon...
They cease to be another dude and start to be a potential soprano...not like Tony...but like Tiny Tim.

26. There are exceptions to every rule.
Yeah, in that scenario anything is fair game. But I have to say I've been involved in a fair amount of fights (none of which I've started) and I've never resorted to it. If I felt my life or the life of my family was in danger, I'd have no reservations.

30. Perhaps if the intense pain of scrotal injury was cyclical..
..and that cycle went on for a long time, then you'd have a chance to ask for pain medication? I toughed it out both times I went through childbirth, sans meds, but if I had it to do over again, I'd opt for the drugs.. but like I already said, it's rather meaningless to try and compare a subjective physical experience like pain..

12. Sorry, I saw the J..E..T..S.. JETS JETS JETS logo and thought about a Simpson's episode.
Edited on Fri Oct-30-09 03:51 PM by Altoid_Cyclist
The one where they have a film festival and Homer thinks that the one with Hans Moleman getting hit in the groin with the football should win.

Plus, I don't have many fellow Jets fans around here since I'm so close to Pittsburgh.

27. I am reminded of "That's my purse! I DON'T KNOW YOU!!"
From King of the Hill, the women's self defense episode where Bobby runs around kicking everyone's balls.

6. There was a senile old priest in our neighborhood...
who sometimes escaped from his home and would wander the streets spitting at random women, till someone inevitably called the cops and they would come fetch him.

We thought that was bad, but not even close to this. She's obviously ill. Hope all the guys kept their old hockey equipment... those cups could come in handy.

14. Ow I am cringing just reading this and I am a woman!
No one has the right to hurt anyone male or female. I hope that she is caught and is justly dealt with.
