HOUSTONA Liberty County woman who fought tooth and nail to fend off an attempted rapist is speaking out about her ordeal. Leslie Garrett is one victim who will not hide.
Garrett, who is a letter carrier for the Liberty County Post Office, was preparing packages Friday night for a USPS food drive she helps to organize every year. She left a door to her house unlocked after letting her dog outside to use the bathroom then fell asleep. That mistake almost cost the woman her life.
Garrett woke up around 10:20 p.m. to find a partially-clothed man standing at the foot of her bed.
Police said Kyle Antoine, 27, had walked into her house and dropped his pants to his ankles.
I just started yelling at him Get out of my house. Get out. Get out. Garrett told The Vindicator.
The two immediately began to fight.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) -- One week into their first training camp under Bill Laimbeer, the New York Liberty are full of excitement and optimism.
"He has a great system for us, utilizes everyone at their strengths," forward Essence Carson said Monday at the team's annual media day. "We're just trying to get this chemistry together and get it rolling."
Laimbeer's hiring in New York last October has energized a franchise that reached the WNBA Finals four times in the league's first six years, but has not been back to the championship round since losing to Los Angeles in its last appearance in 2002.
"I'm excited," said Liberty star Cappie Pondexter, who joined the team Sunday after helping Fenerbahce win the Turkish League title. "(Laimbeer) is a player's coach, definitely. ... I'm excited I get to learn a lot from him."
After struggling to a .500 record the last two years under former coach John Whisenant, expectations are sky-high for the team under Laimbeer, who led the Detroit Shock to three championships in a six-year stretch before stepping down early in the 2009 season to pursue opportunities in the NBA.
"Bill is a perfect fit for New York," Pondexter said. "He's got that New York swagger, that New York attitude and he brought players in that fit that and we're going to have a great year. ... He's a defensive guy, but he's smart, too, with his offensive tricks and things like that."
Forgotten is the rivalry Detroit and New York had over the years while meeting in the postseason three times. The Liberty won a first-round series in 2004, knocking out the then-defending champs on a buzzer-beater in the decisive Game 3, but then came up short in hard-fought three-game series in the first round in 2007 and the conference semifinals in 2008 during the Shock's run to their last title.
Carson, the longest-tenured player on the roster entering her sixth season, was a rookie during that last playoff meeting.

LIBERTY, MO (KCTV) -
More than 100 workers at Liberty Hospital are getting their pink slips.
The hospital said in a statement Tuesday that 129 employee positions are being eliminated this week as part of an effort to reduce expenses by $20 million. The layoffs are in a variety of departments including maintenance and nutritional services. Senior managers are also losing their jobs.
Devastated employees, including nurses, left the hospital in tears after collecting their belongings.
Amy Stone worked at Liberty Hospital for eight years, was a charge nurse on her floor. She described herself as extremely sad.
"We all knew today was the day that they were going to do this," she explained. "I thought I was high enough in seniority."
Stone said the hospital should have done more to prepare workers so that they had time to explore other options or provided additional options.
"I'm just betrayed. I've worked faithfully for a company that just turns around and says, 'Sorry.' And they wouldn't even offer me an explanation as to why," Stone said.
Rick Boswell, president of the Liberty Hospital board said the action was taken four months ago after a consultant was brought in to analyze the hospital's finances in a Strategic Performance Improvement Initiative.
"We were looking for ways to lean up without impacting patient care," Boswell said. "Most of the positions are in middle management, jobs we could eliminate without touching patient care, which is our number one priority."

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Liberty International Underwriters (LIU), part of the Global Specialty unit of Liberty Mutual Insurance, has launched a new policy designed to cover marine liability and property related risks for small and mid-size marine businesses owners and operators.
The new policy, LIU Marine Business Owners Policy, offers competitive policy forms that give easy access to a variety of optional coverages, including general liability, which is a key exposure for smaller-size businesses.
Small business owners want a comprehensive policy that encompasses multiple coverages, said Don Harrell, senior vice president of LIU marine. They face the same marine liability and property risks as larger companies and need to have in place the same protections. We created LIU Marine BOP to meet this need in the market and to make it easier for small businesses to have access to a financially strong insurer with impeccable service standards.
LIU Marine BOP coverage includes marine general liability; hull and protection & indemnity; marine excess liability; and mobile equipment/tools. Classes eligible for coverage are: ship repairer/ship builder, marina operator, marine construction, marine artisan, marine contractors, consultant/inspections, and scientific/research/educational.
LIU Marine provides a broad range of insurance products that include Ocean and Project Cargo, Marine Liabilities, Marine Builders Risk and Hull and Machinery and Yachts. LIUs unique approach employs a team of local underwriters, risk engineers and marine claims specialists. Because the entire team is fully integrated into the insurance process, clients get faster service and a program that leads to a reduction in loss and best claims outcome.

Libertarian activist Adam Kokesh, who admitsto a history of mental instability and post-traumatic stress disorder, is calling for an armed march on Washington, D.C., to protest against tyranny.
Kokesh proposed a march with loaded rifles from Virginia in D.C. on July 4. D.C. police have promised to block the march from crossing into Washington.
This is now a call for mass civil disobedience on July 4th anywhere in Washington, D.C., he wrote on a Facebook page for the event. We will march with rifles loaded & slung across our backs to put the government on notice that we will not be intimidated & cower in submission to tyranny.
Kokesh, 31, who served as a non-commissioned officer in the Marines and reservist, wrote a 2005 college thesis entitled Hot, Dirty, and Dangerous: Seven Months of Civil and Not-So-Civil Affairs In And Around Fallujah.
He mentions PTSD in the thesis, writing I had a number of anxiety attacks those first few days back [from Iraq].
I didnt feel comfortable getting drunk, and the crowds made me nervous. When dealing with crowds in Iraq, I was always armed and I always had someone watching my back, usually with a machine gun. A cardinal rule for interacting with crowds was to never let anyone get behind you, Kokesh wrote. We had all heard the horror story of a Marine who was killed with his own pistol. When crowds got close around me I would often just leave one hand on my pistol and let my rifle dangle on the sling in front of me.
Used to getting his way, Kokesh eventually got his college to let him carry a gun to class, despite its firearms policy.
Every time someone bumped into me from behind at a party I instinctively reached down for my pistol and had a moment of awkward panic before realizing that I was being absurd, he wrote in his thesis. I had developed such a strong habit of waking up two or three minutes before my alarm that I often woke up thinking I had to be somewhere. I was so used to being on guard when in public that it was hard to truly relax at first.
The idea of loaded weapons at a protest march was met with disdain from pro-gun groups.
Thats a good way to provoke something, and thats not likely to end well, said Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America.

Libertarian Activist With History of PTSD Calls for Armed D.C. March
In 2008 Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch hailed a libertarian moment, encompassing everything from the Internet to the collapse of legacy industries and legacy entitlement programs. Ive used the same term here, when NPR talked about Ron Pauland when polls showed rising support for smaller government, gay marriage, and drug legalization.
But suddenly, today, everyone seems to see a libertarian moment. Driving in to work, I got so tired of the smug self-satisfaction on public radios pledge drive, I switched to the vigorously right-wing Chris Plante Show just in time to hear Plante say, This is a great day for libertarianism in regard to the abuse-of-power stories dominating the mainstream media.
And then, mirabile dictu, I got to the office, opened the Washington Post, and found todays column by Michael Gerson. Now, as he says in todays column, Gerson is conspicuously not a libertarian. Indeed, he is the most vociferously anti-libertarian columnist in contemporary punditry. And yet his column today is titled (in the print paper):
Making libertarians of us all
Man, youve got to abuse power something awful to make Michael Gerson start thinking libertarian. So thanks, IRS and Justice Department!
And now that the Obama administrations abuse of power has got our attention,can we broaden our focus to take in health care mandates, recess appointments, campus speech regulations, the anti-constitutional Independent Payment Advisory Board, similar extra-legislative bodies in Dodd-Frank, the expropriation of Chrysler creditors, and illegal wars?

Tea Party protestor Greg Hetherington at a recent rally in Pennsylvania. The IRS admits targeting conservative groups.
Associated Press
Enlarge photo
WASHINGTON Suppose that the Environmental Protection Agency were to admit offhandedly that the fluoridation of water had only modest communist mind-control effects. Or the United Nations were to concede it has been running fleets of black helicopters over American cities, but only in the course of conducting extensive good will tours.
The IRS has managed a similar confirmation. For years, tea party and patriot groups have breathlessly alleged that federal bureaucrats were conspiring against the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Then federal bureaucrats conspired to target conservative groups because their tax documents contained the words "tea party" or "patriot," and because they were "educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights."
As the scandal has unfolded, the IRS has shown characteristic forthrightness and transparency. In March 2012, the then-commissioner of the IRS, Doug Shulman, assured a congressional committee: "There's absolutely no targeting." But senior officials at the agency, according to a leaked IRS inspector general report, were briefed about the targeting as early as the summer of 2011. Now the agency has backtracked to this position: "IRS senior leadership was not aware of this level of specific details at the time of the March 2012 hearing." It will probably take many further congressional hearings to explore the considerable gap between "absolutely no targeting" and "not aware of this level of specific details."
The IRS has found few defenders, mainly because it is the IRS. Can you imagine the reception that similar arguments would receive if made to the IRS during an audit? "I was not aware of this level of specific details when I claimed that I absolutely deserved a massive tax deduction." The IRS is granted the level of sympathy that it would display to others.
What is most maddening about the IRS response is its complacency. Lois Lerner, in charge of nonprofit vetting at the IRS, has termed the heightened scrutiny of conservative groups "insensitive." When asked why her apology was made during an obscure conference, she responded, "I don't believe anyone ever asked me that question before." This after years of complaints by conservative groups of harassing and improper requests for information, including details of their postings on social networking sites and material on the political ambitions of board members and their families.
The practices already admitted by the IRS were not political insensitivity; they were political corruption. They amounted to an intrusive, ideologically targeted federal investigation of an American political movement. And complacency, in this circumstance, is self-indictment. As Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, put it: "If it had been just a small group of employees, then you would think that the high level IRS supervisors would have rushed to make this public, fired the employees involved, and apologized to the American people and informed Congress. None of that happened in a timely way." And perhaps not coincidentally, even the IRS' onset of mild remorse came well after the 2012 election.
I am conspicuously not a libertarian. I believe that government has valid purposes that are more than minimal, and that public service is essentially noble. But most Americans, myself included, become libertarians when a policeman is rude and swaggering during a traffic stop. Give me that badge number. It is precisely because police powers are essential to the public good that abusing them is so offensive. The same holds for overzealous or corrupt TSA agents. And it is doubly true with IRS personnel who misuse their broad and intimidating powers. It is enough to bring out the Samuel Adams in anyone.
