SAN ANTONIO (KABB/WOAI) - A San Antonio great-grandmother is recovering after a brutal carjacking this week.

She’s lucky not to have been more seriously injured, but her assailant later crashed her car and died.

Shirlene Hernandez, 72, was on her way to a Shell gas station Tuesday morning, something she does every day, to get a Diet Coke.

On her way inside, a man grabbed her, hitting her several times in the face in a tussle to take her keys. Hernandez said despite three men trying to tackle the attacker, he still got away with her car.

1. She should sue the Coca-Cola company

Ultimately, this is their fault.

Product placement ads in news stories should be a revenue stream.

Newspapers are hurting for money, and they are letting it slip through their fingers. They should set up and ad market where this story could say “a soda” (or whatever regionalism) or “a Diet Coke”. Based on story size and prominence, companies can put out bids for specific factual mentions - even more for endorsements, like, if they could get her to say, “I’ll be okay, but I’d rather have a Diet Coke.”

To, you know, make sure to preserve the integrity of journalism.

5. Exactly!

The most should be made of this story, for those who are affected.

That woman may or may not have enough insurance or be able to afford to replace her car on fixed income.

Your idea would definitely help her.

2. I like a story with a happy ending.

3. She never got the Diet Coke

4. She should get a medal from the mayor.

She performed a public service by eliminating one asshole from the streets.

6. in our upsidedown crazy world,,,,

the thief's family will probably sue the woman because her brakes were faulty or tires were bad,,,,


this is a terrible story and she still works,,,, bless her heart. from one old lady to another.
