Tables Turned with Bare Feet By Jack Two college girls lure a pair of rapists and give them what they deserve. On June 14, 2007, Whitmore University sophomore Juliana Jackson turned the tables on a pair of serial rapists, getting them to confess willingly on camera about their various exploits, as well as threatening to rape and kill her. This evidence put the two men behind bars for the next 25 years. Once she had the evidence she needed, she informed the two men that their actions had been videotaped and that she could legally beat both of them into bloody pulps and claim self-defense, which is exactly what she proceeded to do. You see, Juliana was a women's self-defense instructor, and her best friend was a video whiz (as well as a two-fisted fighting whirlwind!) Together these heroes not only captured two of the most repugnant criminals to plague the area in years, but also saw to it that the men received a two-fisted, barefooted, totally one-sided beating which left both of them in the worst pain of their lives. This is that story. "It's OK! You're going to be OK!" Security Officer Marks held the screaming girl in his arms trying to calm her down. "Nobody's going to hurt you!" The girl's hysteria was calming, but her terror was still evident. "It's the rapist! The one who attacked all those girls!" The rapes had been the only story on the news for the last month. Five had occurred over the last two years, but the one last week had been the breaking point. Students started leaving campus, and genuine terror was in the air. "What are you doing out here like that?" asked Officer Marks. The girl was probably 19 or 20. Gorgeous, there was no denying that. She was tiny, about 5'2", seemed a little drunk, scared out of her mind. Dressed like your typical sorority girl on a Friday night looking to get laid, except ... "Where are your shoes? Cute feet. Had to admit that. A bit of personal pride shown through her terror. "Guys like it when I go barefoot." Officer Marks nodded and smiled. "You're perfect." The girl looked at him with a combination of flattery and bewilderment, until Marks handcuffed her wrists behind her back and put a knife to her throat. A scream was trying to make it out of her throat, but Marks shook his head. "You don't want to do that. This knife might slip." Then he turned to the woods. "You can come out now!" With that, a tall, thin figure clothed only in black emerged from the woods. A mask over his face, tight black apparel, black boots, and a shiny knife in hand. Terrifying. "Oh, my God!" breathed the girl. "He's the Whitmore rapist?" Officer Marks seethed. "Not just him. Two heads are better than one. And anyone looks the same in that outfit." Marks turned to the Whitmore Rapist. "Good thing you had back-up tonight, huh?" "What can I say? The barefooted bitch can run." The girl shrugged, smiled. "Ran track. Third fastest girl in the state. Always run barefooted. Keeps you in touch with the ground and it's a lot more fun." The Rapist gingerly dabbed his nose. In the moonlight, the blood was barely visible against the black ski mask. "And she broke my nose." The girl smiled a bit more. "I teach women's self defense. Always fight barefooted. That way you can really feel the damage you're doing to your opponent. That's so much more fun!" By now she had a pride-filled, spunky grin on her face. "Well, the fun's over, barefooted bitch. You're about to get raped, then killed." Suddenly, the color went out of the girl's face. "But, ... you guys don't really ... kill..?" Marks shook his head. "First time for everything, but this is the first time one of us has screwed up, and now you've seen my face." The girl blanched in terror, then turned cautiously to her other assailant. "And what about his face? I mean, if you're going to kill me, I want to know who the big scary rapist is ... that I kicked the shit out of!" The girl burst out giggling. The rapist stormed forward, his 6'2" frame, towering over the girl, and he stripped his mask from face. Both the girl and Officer Marks laughed hysterically. The rapist only got angrier. "Whitfield, you can't try to be intimidating by showing off the fact that a girl half your size gave you a broken nose!" Marks laughed. The girl's eyes widened. "Whitfield Carlson! You're the son of the President of the University! Why would you be doing something like this?" Whitfield smiled. "It's a total rush. And I love beating the shit out of bitches like you!" Marks rolled his eyes. "Only you didn't! She beat the shit out of you! I don't know how we're going to explain that tomorrow." The girl smiled. "Well, I think I can save you two douchebags the trouble. The rapists are Security Officer Marks and the University President's son. Are you getting this, Kristi?" "Every word!" And with that, another 5'2" barefooted dreamboat popped out of the woods, although her tomboyish haircut, sardonic smirk, and thriftstore threads made her more the sci-fi geek wetdream than her fratboy target partner. "What the fuck?" yelled the two rapists. "Well," said the sorority girl, "my name's Juliana, and my roommate/new best friend over there with the camera is Kristi ... " Kristi waved while still holding the camera. " ... she is kind of the video guru for this school, and you guys have managed to confess and threaten me with rape and murder on camera, so I'd say you're pretty much going to jail for the rest of your lives!" Juliana grinned confidently up at her quarry. The two men looked at each other in total disbelief. Had they really just been smeared by two barefooted bitches. "Oh, you poor boys!" mocked Juliana. "My Psychology 101 class says that rapists become psychopathically misogynistic, because they need to prove intellectual and physical superiority to women." Marks looked over at that tomboy with the camera. Smug-ass bitch was laughing her ass off. "So the fact that you've just been intellectually asskicked by two girls half your size has got to be particularly galling to two limpdicks like you." Juliana was pushing their psychotic buttons perfectly. That university son looked like he was about to cry. If Juliana could just push the two a little further, she and Kristi would be justified in making them both cry ... from a whole lot of pain! "Maybe if the two of you will come along with us like 'good wittle boys', you won't have to get physically asskicked by us, too!" Officer Marks looked ready to explode. Juliana knew she'd done it. "Get that cunt with the camera and destroy them both!" exploded Marks. "I'll kill this bitch!" And with that Marks whipped the taser from his belt, only to have a well-tended but very tough female sole kick it from his hand into the woods. Then this 110-lb. bitch who was half his size proceeded to take that same prized sole and kick him once, twice, three times across the face with it. Marks' eyes welled with tears as he could tell that most of his front teeth were now loosened, his lips would be busted, his nose was probably broken, too, and that left eye would be swollen black by morning. Still, he didn't have long to think about that. Juliana put previously mentioned sole on the ground and used the other to see how far Mark's fat belly could be pushed inward by a woman capable of breaking boards with her bare feet. Pretty far. Juliana stood back while Security Officer marks puked up the last non-jail- produced pizza he would ever eat. Whitfield Carson had lived a life of privilege ever since birth. He was raised with every opportunity, and grew up with that air of entitlement that can be the downfall of so many of privilege. Whitfield's indiscretions, beating up on smaller kids, impregnating girls who would then be pressured into abortions, were kept hidden. But you can't blame the parents. His younger brother would one day become a Senator, while his 15-year-old sister would be so impressed by Juliana and Kristi that she started taking female self-defense classes and would later become a barefooted crimefighter like her two heroes (much later, she would become a two-term President, establish world peace, and beat the living shit out of eight warmongering lobbyists on the floor of the Senate with the two greatest weapons ever created, bare female feet). Whitfield, though had two passions ... beating weaker people into pulps and raping beautiful women who could not get legal recompense against him because of his father's wealth and power. Still, though, Whitfield was a follower. It was a lowly, unimportant security guard whose bitterness and hatred of both women and decency had led him into this serial rapist thing. Which was about to lead him into 25 years in prison. And six weeks of eating out of a straw. The three obvious things about Kristi were the bare feet, which started pretty much from birth, the way she drove guys crazy, even those who wouldn't normally like a "dork", and the god-given gift of fisticuffs which had been bestowed upon her. Growing up in an orphanage, she quickly learned how to take care of herself, and anybody who messed with her friends. Seeing her natural skills and inherent need for justice, the nuns signed her up for boxing classes, where she soon became an undefeated champion and embarrassment for a lot of male egos. When college started, she first bristled at her sorority girl roommate, until she realized that Juliana was a kindred spirit in the barefooted ass- whooping of badguys (and in so many other ways.) Kristi joined Juliana's self-defense class, all the while finding little errands of butt-kicking justice for the two of them. However, it was Juliana who had roped Kristi into this endeavor. Juliana took her to meet the rapists' victims and told her the plan for how to lure the rapists into the open. Now, there was a 220-pound man running straight toward her with a knife he wanted to plunge into her chest. Kristi smiled knowing he would spend the rest of his life in prison plagued by nightmares of her attractive feet kicking him into a six-week body cast followed by 25 years of prison. "Camera, Owen!" cried Kristi, throwing her A/V equipment toward the woods. Suddenly, a scrawny video geek popped out of the woods, caught the camera, and continued filming. Three more A/V guys with cameras stepped out of the woods to film the worst 5 minutes of these two men's lives. "Hiiiiiii-yaaaa!" Kristi leapt into the air, chambered her right leg, and fired it right into the jaw of Whitfield Carson. (It was that visual image of Kristi's leather-tough sole flying toward him and blotting out everything else that would cause him to wake up screaming for the next 25 years.) With a crack, Whitfield's jaw broke, and even screaming in pain had him screaming in pain. Kristi looked down mockingly at the big man lying on the ground, holding his jaw, and bawling like a baby. "Ooooh, look at the big tough badass. He's crying because the girl half his size is going to beat him to a bloody pulp and there's not a thing he can do about it!" "Frrrrk yrrrrr!" was the best Whitfield could manage as he stood up and charged for the last time. Kristi shrugged. It worked before, why not do it again. As she leapt into the air, she bent back her toes and spread them, letting the ball of her left foot collide into the nose of Whitfield. CRACK!!!! Now he had a broken nose, broken jaw, and totally broken spirit. "P-please!" he begged. 'I've hrrd rnrrgh! Plrrrrse no more!" His face was soaked in tears and blood." Kristi pulled a list out of her back pocket. "Hmmm. This is a list of injuries that your victims had ... broken jaw, check. Broken nose, check." With that, Whitfield turned to run, but a hand on his belt kept him from going. So he turned around and started throwing punches as hard as he could. But all they touched was air. After a minute, he just broke down crying again. "Whyyyyyy????" he begged. "Whyy are you beating the shit out of me!" Kristi read from her list: "Eyes swollen shut." Kristi's fists flew like pistons. In five seconds, 21 punches closed his eyes for three weeks. "Massive internal bleeding." One foot cracked the right ribs, another cracked the left. That same foot made his solar plexus scream. "And this is for being a rapist." Kristi kicked him in the balls, then mercifully punched him out cold. Whitfield emerged from his body cast six weeks later. Juliana waited politely while Marks finished puking. "Are you done yet?" she asked sweetly, " because I still want to beat you into unimaginable pain and then call the cops and the paramedics to take you away. Since he was still wretching up some pepperoni, Juliana glanced over to see how Kristi was doing. She was doing fine at speedbagging Whitfield's eyes into puffy blackness. "Oh, finally," said Juliana. "I was getting bored." Marks threw a huge punch at Juliana, which she easily sidestepped. Marks swung again. "All air, bitch," she teased him. For the next few minutes, Juliana thought it would be fair to let Marks have a chance to touch her without her distracting him with any attacks from her. Besides, she wanted to humiliate him verbally. Hollis, her mentor in barefooted female ass-kicking had explained that the ass-kicking should fit the crime. If a guy is making unwarranted moves, a knee to the groin or right hook might get him to back off. (If not, that's his problem.) A drunk guy perhaps should be subdued with an arm lock until he sobers. But the true villains of the world deserved thorough ass-kickings both physically and spiritually. "I'm so excited about the exposure that you two are going to bring to the women's self-defense movement." SWOOSH! SWOOSH! DODGE! DODGE! And then she continued: "I mean, your mugshots with you two beaten to a pulp will be all over the news. My self-defense instructor keeps a scrapbook of every criminal's mugshot that she or one of her students beats to a pulp. Those things are hilarious!" Two more failed punches from Marks. "I'm gonna go on news shows, late night TV. Tell everybody how I lured you guys out, got you to confess on camera, then provoked you into attacking me so that I had the legal right to beat you senseless." Marks was going crazy. This bitch with her arms cuffed behind her back was bobbing and weaving from his attacks effortlessly, all the while chatting like a ... something. "And do you know how many girls this will get into self-defense class. Hopefully, it'll also spur female barefootedness." She dodged another flurry. "That's so important to me. I think women can achieve so much more when their feet are free. I wear flip-flops or sandals when I have to, but I think that actual sole-confining shoes look like things that are screaming. Do you know what I mean?" And with that, Marks did something he thought he would never do: he broke down crying. "Stop! Stop! Please! I admit it, we raped five girls and beat them up so badly they were I the hospital for weeks! Why won't you stand still? You've got your arms behind your back and I can't touch you! I just want to go to prison and die!" And he continued bawling on the grass. Juliana took the time to step over her handcuffs so that her hands were in the front. Then she gently held his lapel and lifted him to standing. "But you beat six girls beyond recognition and left them to die. And now I'm going to do the same to you." "Jessica Hartford." Juliana swung a roundhouse kick that sent him into the arms of Kristi. "Amy Wilson," said Kristi seriously, and barraged him with more fists than she could count. The last one sent him reeling toward Juliana. "Carrie Soames." OOF! UGH! EE! AAH! CRACK! "Mary Trang" AH! EE! OOH! AAH! WAAAH! "Katie Jones" "No more please, I'll-" WHACK, CRACK, OOF, UGH, NYAH!" "Jane Cort." "Please, God!" Juliana kicked him in the balls, than once in the face. The next morning, two men were in bodycasts and the video was the hottest download in You tube history. Juliana and Kristi did Letterman and Larry King in bare feet while Marks and Whitfield did 25 years in orange jumpers. Women's self-defense spiked. Women's shoe sales plummeted as the "barefoot woman" movement flourished. And Kristi and Juliana lived long fruitful lives, remaining best friends all the while.
