Based on the votes accumulated by the KRO site this woman is beating out the competition for supreme hero of 2002! Apparently she laid the smack down on some rowdies at a train station on the mean streets of Apeldoorn. My hero!

Almelo, January 17, 2002. Actually she'd like to be an actress, but after last weekend she's not so sure anymore. The police see a good agent in her and the NS would also like her as a ticket-taker. Charity, a mavo student from Almelo, was showered with flowers, gift certificates and a pair of earrings from the mayor. "He was really proud of me."
Staying past the time set to leave for school, everyone wanted to hear exactly what happened last Sunday in the train between Amersfoort and Apeldoorn. Charity (who doesn't want her last name revealed for fear of reprisals), traveled alone, after going out in Amsterdam. People in the train car were bothered by a group of 17 boys coming from a boarding school in Voorst. "Pestering, swearing and smoking marijuana," said Charity," And if you looked at them, they got angry." When the train stopped in Apeldoorn, a fight broke out between two ticket-takers and the boys. The ticket-takers, who had spoken to the boys about their behavior, were pushed to the ground, punched and kicked. Charity could see through the window that none of the bystanders were intervening, including the men dressed in green military clothing.
"I dialed 112 and then jumped in without thinking. 'Stop! Let them go!' I screamed." Charity was also struck with a few blows, but it worked and the group separated. The police managed to detain five of the attackers, and the day after apprehended one more. The remaining ringleaders are under house arrest at their boarding school, Charity was told.
Others talked about her heroic status, but Charity herself thinks that her taking action was the most normal thing to do. "I always stand up for others." But this time she was even more motivated through a discriminatory remark made by an older woman who was also sitting in the train. "It's always those dirty blacks," remarked the woman." "I wanted to show that not everyone who has skin of color misbehaves," said Charity, daughter of a Dutch mother and Surinam father. "Charity can't ignore injustice, it's in her genes," said Charity's mother, Chantal. "Teasing, bothering, Charity always defends the victim."
She also notices that she's the target of regular discrimination because of her skin color. Last summer, Charity was beaten up at the station in Rijssen by a few girls who apparently took issue with the skirt she was wearing. "If you've ever gone through it, then you don't want others to have to go through it. So I knew how the ticket-takers felt." The blows she got in Apeldoorn at the station led to some swelling, but she doesn't feel them anymore. She is more bothered by all the attention she's getting. At the police station, there remain two lists of names of people who want to hear her story.

"I'll give you five reasons..."
"Tamara Rops - Redde kind uit zwembad" my dutch is rusty (sorry mom!) but this roughly translated is "Tamara Rops - saved a child from swimming pool".
I haven't seen a shout out this long since the Source Hip Hop Music Awards. *Everyone* gets some love from the KRO ya'all...
Time Warner's cable interests carry as much softcore porn as the next guy and that don't seem to bother them none.
AOL's problems are market saturation pure and simple. No ISP can grow like AOL and others did in the late 90s and early 00s for ever.
Drop pants on TV.
Genius.
I think she was in "Donkey Kong"
That girl has gone down more than the slashdot server!
Ba dum pish!
I think this sounds like a great idea. Sincerely, Satan
