the saga was fully covered in the *washington post*:

Sometimes truly American virtues arise in outlaws who -- by dint of
heroic but questionable endeavors -- display the mettle of the
national character.

For instance: The Dillinger Gang, robbing banks (and destroying
mortgages) when banks were foreclosing on the poor. Stephanie St.
Clair, matron of the numbers racket during the Harlem Renaissance,
striking a (dubious) blow for both gender and racial equality. Junior
Johnson bootlegging liquor during Prohibition (the benefits of which
were self-evident).

Fear not, fellow Americans! In these dark days of war, pestilence and
Paris Hilton, a new hero has arisen. She is none other than
75-year-old Mona "The Hammer" Shaw, who took the aforementioned
implement to her local Comcast office in Manassas to settle a score,
and boy, did she!
