Two days. Two women. Two compelling tales.

I hope I’m not the only one who sees a common thread between the sagas of Sharon Conroy and Samara Peace.

Conroy is the mother of Sean Patrick Conroy, the man who was attacked in a Center City subway and died. It was the first – and deadliest – in a recent rash of attacks on transit riders.

The Lansdowne mom is pushing for more security on the lines, including bringing back the undercover “granny squads” to target hoodlums.

She also wonders what’s happened to young people, and if they’ve lost their sense of decency and respect for human life in the wake of the attack on her son.

Conroy is not a big woman. But she has a big voice, and she’s using it to draw attention to the problem.

Likewise, Peace also is a slight woman. The 18-year-old new mom from Sharon Hill was walking to catch a SEPTA trolley Monday night when she was confronted by two thugs.

She tried to give them what they wanted – her purse, but she had a slight problem. She was carrying her 7-month-old daughter, Samya, close to her chest at the time and was struggling with her pocketbook.

When her attackers got violent, she returned in kind. When the two thugs finally fled with her purse, she still didn’t shrink away. Instead, she led police to the house where she believed the two suspects entered.

Police quickly corralled two suspects.

It’s ironic that a woman named Peace would become the latest victim of street violence.

Peace did something else that was unusual. Yesterday she came forward at a press conference held by Upper Darby Police to talk about her ordeal.

Like Conroy, she is using her plight to shed light on the situation, to make us aware of the problems and dangers seemingly confronting us around every corner, and to be sure that the perpetrators are brought to justice.

For that she earned the salute of Upper Darby police, including Superintendent Mike Chitwood.

We’ll endorse that idea. You might say we all should do as Peace did.

Give Peace a chance, you might say.
