Jade Goody Faces Off Against A Woman With A Hammer


Jade Goody is obviously going through a lot right now. She knows she only has a few weeks to live, but apparently that is not fast enough for a woman in London. A 41 year old woman broke into the hospital room of Jade yesterday and she was carrying a hammer with which she used to threaten Jade.

Jade's husband had just gone to the cafeteria to get something when the woman slipped in and approached Jade. Jade had been sleeping but woke up when the woman was standing right over the bed with the hammer. Jade wasn't hurt.

WTF? I'm wondering if this woman was mad at Jade or trying to put her out of her misery, but if I am the hospital I would have had lots of security around Jade to prevent anything like this happening. Everyone in the UK knows where Jade is staying and the last thing the hospital wants is publicity like this which will stick around forever. "Oh yeah, isn't that the hospital that let in the woman with the hammer who tried to kill Jade? I don't want to go there."

When Jade managed to ring for the nurse, the woman ran out of the room. She was later caught by the police. Oh, but this is the kicker. You want to know what happened to the woman? I don't think you will believe this one. The cops let her go. They didn't charge her with anything. Since when is it not a crime to go into the hospital room of someone with a hammer and stand over them? They arrested her for having a deadly weapon, but the London version of a district attorney said the charge wouldn't stick so they let her go.

Great. So besides knowing you are going to die in the next few weeks you have to worry about a woman with a hammer coming back into your room because the police wouldn't do anything.
