It never ceases to amaze me. Ocean city Maryland was the newest mislead city to ban stun guns and tasers.
What kills be is that they do it under the guise of wanting to keep people safe when that isn’t it at all. They just want another way to get money from people and keep you scared and reliant on them to keep you safe. It is sad really. These people wouldn’t even have the right to concealed weapons if it wasn’t for the fact that the NRA has more money than Bill Gates, ok not really but they have a ton and can buy quite a few politicians’ support.
As you can see by the links ALL of these items and many other regular everyday items have all been used in crimes at one point or another.
Like I said it is silly. All they do is make it harder for the non gun toting people to protect themselves by using non lethal weapons like stun guns or tasers.
We need to get a leash on our politicians cause I think they have forgotten they work for us and they may need a reminder kick in the pants!
An 18 year old college woman from Virginia was attacked on her way home a few days ago but she can thank herself for safety now.
She was heading home last week when an “older” male approached her and tried to take her backpack by punching her in the face.
After he punched her in the face she turned and pepper sprayed him which gave her the opportunity to get to safety.
I am really happy to hear she was smart enough to not only purchase and carry a pepper spray but actually decide to use it!
The only issue with this whole story was how long she waited. If you are ever in the same situation, don’t wait until he is close enough to punch you.
Pepper spray him as far away as you and your pepper spray can manage. Most go 6 feet + so the decision to fight made earlier would have saved her some pain.
If you feel threatened warn and then attack and do so quickly. If you say back off (while he is still away from you) and he doesn’t stop….blast the bastage!
This story goes to show that you should always be prepared to protect yourself, day or night.
A young lady called for a cab which came to drive her the 10 minute ride to our local college. Fro the start she stated the guy was rude making comments that it was close enough that she should have drove herself. Real customer service oriented guy right? hahhaha
After she gets to the destination she fills out the slip to use her credit card to pay the fare which was about 6 bucks. On the form she writes something like “no tip, driver was rude” and hands it to him, she was smart enough to get out of the cab first.
He got mad and jumped out demanding money from her. He then grabs her and rips the jacket right off of her. Thankfully, that was the extent of the attack. Police arrested the man within minutes and now he is in big trouble.
This comes down to something simple. Never let them get close enough to put their hands on you, period. She should have screamed, run and if she had been prepared, she could have used pepper spray on him. His trip towards her would have ended quickly.
People seem to forget or ignore this rule far too much. Another perfect example from tonight. I walked to the grocery store across the street and as I was leaving I twisted my ankle and it was killing me.
I hobbled back towards home when I noticed a young lady finishing unloading her cart. Not thinking, I walked towards her and asked if I could take her cart since she was done with it.
Granted both of my hands were full and I was hobbling and I smiled and asked nicely BUT she got close enough to me to have grabbed her had I been a nut.
It was dark, only a few people in the parking lot and none were paying attention to this area. This was the perfect setup for an attack. She was lucky it was me and not some creep.
Well, she was lucky until I kind gave her a lecture about getting so close to some strange guy in a dark parking lot. hahha I know but I couldn’t help myself but I did admit to her that I should never had approached her to put her in that position.
NEVER let someone get close even in a public parking lot. I could list tons of stories of women taken from public places and raped, tortured and/or murdered by some scumbag.
What she should have done to be nice yet safe was slide the cart over to me, not hard enough to try and knock me down but enough that it keeps me at a distance. If at that point had she done that and I still kept approaching then it is time for her to fight!
I know many families who are trying to sell of their homes because foreclosure is looming. The bad part is that more and more people are choosing to do it themselves to save the real estate agent fees.
The problem with this is simple, you are opening your home to strangers and if they come when you are alone and you still let them in you can find yourself in trouble.
We just had a homeowner attacked here over the weekend. She was selling her own home and having an open house. A guy showed up early and was supposedly interested in the home and wanted to see it.
Here is where desperation came in, she let him in thinking she might get the sale. Instead he pistol whipped her and then tied her up. She was lucky enough to break free and run for help.
She is VERY fortunate to only walk away from this with a beating cause you can imagine what could and probably was going to happen to her.
This goes for more than just selling houses, it goes for anything like that. There have been many people selling some type of item who have been robbed, raped and even killed by someone who used this as a way in.
People tend to drop their guard when potential money is involved but it can cost you big.
If you have something, whether it be your home, car or even a bicycle, there are some simple rules to follow.
The most obvious rule, keep your self defense weapon of choice handy no matter how harmless someone looks.
Tell your friends, family and neighbor if you plan on having strangers come over; especially if you are crazy enough to be alone doing this.
Make sure you never let them walk behind you. When walking them into your home, they go first and you follow. Better to be attacked from the front if it is going to come.
Keep yourself an out. What I mean is simple, keeping them in front of you like I just mentioned, allows you to have a clear path to a door out. If someone goes wrong you can run for it.
Like I mentioned, selling things to strangers when alone is just plain crazy. This goes for any female realtor you may know.
Be prepared to defend yourself which means a lot more than just having some type of weapon. You need to mentally decide you will NOT be a victim. Attitude can make a huge difference.
And the golden rule…..when in doubt kick em in the junk and run screaming your head off! Much easier to apologize to the now high pitched man than to take the chance and be attacked.
You know researching crime can become a very depressing thing if you let it get to you. There are so many people out there that can leave you saying “HOW?”.
You may or may not have heard about the attack the other day in Philadelphia on the subway, out where I am there hasn’t been anything on the news.
As I began reading the story and the updates in the story I could only shake my head. For those that don’t know, a 20 year old lab tech was coming home from work on the subway.
He sat down and fell asleep without any incidents beforehand. Some nut walks on the subway with his CHILD and begins wailing on this kid with a hammer!
The attack went for what they say was close to 5 minutes as this guy tried to kill this 20 year old kid with a hammer. The sad part is that there was at least 10 people (other riders) and not one helped.
Now after watching the attack I can understand why some would have just run. It was incredibly brutal and started so fast. Now had even one of those people had a pepper spray or steel baton on them (stun guns are illegal) or if they had been trained in self defense or martial arts they could have stopped this.
The fact people were too scared to help doesn’t really surprise me much but what did was this. These two didn’t know each other, never spoke or even glanced at each other, the guy just went nuts and why he chose this kid is unknown for now at least. Now the guy turns out to be a known criminal who has a long record but it still doesn’t explain the motive for the attack. It is crazy.
Now to really show how people can be, during the attack the kid lost the ipod he was listening to but it turned up. One of the witnesses/fellow riders, stole it and sold it to some girl for 150 bucks.
Some people are just scum!
This brings back up my point from Monday. Just because you are in a crowd, in a public place it doesn’t mean you are safe. The only way to even attempt to be safe these days is to carry and be prepared to use, a self defense weapon and if at all possible take up a martial art. It is great for your health, family bonding and safety and well worth your time I assure you.
Philadelphia needs to rethink its concealed handgun and stun gun bans. Their crime rate is insane, I feel bad for those that life in this warzone of a city.
I was checking out the news earlier and saw a story about a single mother of 8 that was just murdered.
I believe this was most likely a wrong place at the wrong time thing. I would bet that no matter who walked out the door, they were getting killed and robbed.
The door I speak of was to a check chasing place. Stephanie Seabrum walked 2 steps out the door after cashing her check and was shot in the back of the head and dead in a split second!
Her only mistake was ever going to a check cashing place. Those places for both the patrons and the employees, are magnets for crime.
Think about it, compared to a bank, a check cashing place is guaranteed money. When someone walks out of the bank it could have been to deposit or to apply for a loan, there is no guarantee they have cash.
But with a check cashing place, as the name applies, you’re walking out with cash in hand. Another issue I have is that they are many times in unsafe settings.
With a bank, when they pick a location, they take visibility and safety into consideration. A check cashing place can be a mom and pop shop anywhere and there is little regulation.
When it comes to your safety, you have to play the odds. If you know running out in the middle of the road in front of a bus is a bad idea because odds are good you’re gonna get splatted.
Then going to a place that attracts crime and basically has you walking out wearing a banner that says “rob me” with better than normal odds of possible attack, would also be a bad idea.
Best way to stay safe is not put yourself in a bad situation. In this case not even a self defense weapon would have helped unless she had noticed the men before she exited the door.
After she stepped out she was dead in a split second. He just walked right up and shot her as soon as she came out the door. Sad.
When they catch these bastards (there was at least 2), they should send em over here to Texas; we’d be happy to stick a needle in their arms for the last time for ya!
These men are animals and should be treated as such. We are far too lenient and crime needs to become much more painful!
Sadly too many people wait until something bad happens before they react. Take for instance here in my area, a man has been groping women, so far something like 8 victims but we don’t know if that is all or exactly how long this has been going on.
He has been stalking women around the University campus here in Austin. What really surprised me was the way they found some of the 8 victims. It wasn’t by them reporting the attack it was a news report.
One of the victims, Sarah Kelly, a young UT student said she was groped while walking her dog outside of her apartment but she didn’t even report it until she saw the sketch of the attacker in her email inbox from the campus police.
She said she didn’t feel like it was enough to call police, until she saw a sketch. Not enough?? He walked up and asked for directions in broad daylight while walking her puppy and grabbed her butt. How could that not be enough?
I even saw comments on news stories about this that said things like “what’s the big deal?”. I assume people must not realize that these guys that do this and get bolder as they go will eventually cross the line to full fledged sexual assault or even worse; it is all just a matter of time.
Some of the worst animals to commit crimes were people that build as they go. They have to keep crossing lines to keep getting thrills and it usually ends with some poor child or unsupecting woman dead.
Never let stuff like this go and tell your daughters the same thing. It isnt normal behavior to force yourself on people like this and it shouldn’t be ignored.
Another thing, keep that safety zone around you when out alone in public even during the day. The zone should be kept free of all strangers and if you do that as much as possible you can help to eliminate the risk of some scumbag cop’in a feel on your fun parts.
I did see one student interviewed and she actually had her pepper spray out while walking. I applauded, it wasn’t one of ours but hey it was something; not that I’ll guarantee it will work Now with one of ours! hahahha
Since there are still new victims of this guy, including today with a jogger, not enough people are taking their safety seriously. Don’t be one of those people!
Stop by and see us to stock up on pepper spray and stun guns for the ones you care about.
Last week there was an attack on a woman on a busy street in a neighborhood at 9am on a weekday. What makes this really bad is how it went down.
The 20 year old young lady was not out after dark alone, she was not in a particularly bad part of town nor was she not paying attention. It was 9am and she was doing what you would think you can do, drive down the road and go to work or school.
She was driving through an intersection to a major highway here in my area when a car with 4 scumbags in it pulled up and one of the guys waved a gun and told her to pull over. Which she did, right on a busy neighborhood street.
The guy with the gun got in her car and then beat, robbed and raped her. He stopped after she began to scream and they drove off. Police say since she walked away alive this is a win and one from viewpoint it is. But they are still free and she was still beaten and raped so I have trouble saying it was a win with any enthusiasm even though it definitely could have been worse.
The police commented when asked what to do in this situation that they couldn’t give specific advice because every situation is different. This is all true. With this type of situation it can play any number of ways.
Personally though, in this situation, I would have got acted like I was going to comply until they got behind me then I would have jumped on the highway calling 911 to alert police. In my eyes my truck is my only real armor against an armed idiot so pulling over isn’t going to be on my agenda. They key would be to not let them get along side of you again for a clean shot until cops can arrive to arrest the morons and that is if they even bother chasing you to begin with.
Like I said before, this could have been much worse, once this man got into her car with her he could have taken her anywhere he wanted and did whatever he wanted. As I have said, you cannot allow yourself to be taken to a secondary crime scene because the odds of you returning start to get bad.
Another option here being 9am and that she pulled onto a neighborhood street would have been while they were still behind you to lay on the horn and pull into the first driveway that looked like it had someone home.
I say this because even though they were brazen enough to do this when and how they did as soon as she started screaming he stopped and they left. So attention was something they did NOT want and would have been the first thing I would have given them!
Attackers want at least some level of stealth and if can draw attention to your plight it can make a world of difference. Be careful out there even in daytime hours and always carry some type of self defense weapon with you in your vehicle.
There are some crimes that leave you saying “are you kidding me?” and this is just one of those crimes.
Early in the morning hours last Friday a woman was sexually assaulted in an alley off of 6th street in Austin. For those who don’t know the place it is a couple block strip of bars and nightclubs so it gets crazy with all the college kids from UT come the weekend.
Not being a drinker I have no reason to head down that part of town but this time I wish I had been there. You see a young woman out for a night on the town and either she didn’t follow the buddy system or it flat out failed.
Alone and stinking drunk (.32 B.A.C. yup 4 times the legal limit for driving for most states), she passed out in an alleyway behind a strip of bars. Now if all of this isn’t bad enough, 27-year-old Matthew Skontnicki comes along seeing her passed out he decides to sexually assault her.
You haven’t heard the worst yet. A crowd of on-lookers were said to have been cheering him on as he raped her. Thankfully 2 bouncers from one of the bars were taking out the trash and saw the assault. They stopped it and held the guy until the cops could come and arrest the lowlife.
I can’t even begin to imagine standing there in a crowd watching some lowlife assault some unconscious girl and doing nothing but cheering him on. I truly wish I had wandered by when this was taking place. The headline would have read “sexual attacker sent to hospital after meeting the business end of a steel baton!”.
What this young lady did, going out and getting so drunk was a huge mistake. But no one deserves to learn a lesson like this one. I hope they throw the book at this guy and that this young lady knows someone in prison who can say hi for her! /wink
The police are trying to find the people in the crowd and there may be more possible arrests. I agree 100% anyone who stands and does nothing but watches as a woman is attacked should also be charged. If more people starting watching the backs of other people we could put a stop to most of the garbage.
I have noticed recently in my area and many others across the US the incidents of fake police officers victimizing people has increased and sadly most of the advice about what to do when you aren’t sure could work against you if they are real.
In a seminar a few months ago an officer mentioned what I thought sounded like the absolute best way to handle an encounter with an unmarked police vehicle or plain clothed police officer.
Here in Texas we had 2 (that they know of) incidents recently where a fake police officer approached people who appeared drunk and threatened to arrest them if they didn’t pay him cash.
I have only a little sympathy for someone who gets robbed cause they are too drunk to realize no real cop would ever do what he was trying to do and if they did you still shouldn’t go along with it.
But this could also be used to sexually assault or murder someone so lets discuss this a bit. If you are in your car the best thing to do when being pulled over by an unmarked car and you aren’t sure they are real you can:
1. Put on your 4 way emergency flashers to show the officer if he really is one that you aren’t failing to comply.
2. Use your cellphone to call police and tell them where you are at and that someone in an unmarked car is trying to pull you over. They can and will tell you if he is real and contact the officer so her doesn’t come up to the car mad cause you weren’t complying fast enough. Once they realize it is just fear for your safety things should be good.
3. Still always try and stop in a well lit public place if at all possible but number 2 is most important of them all…call the police!
Now when approached by someone claiming to be an officer and hassling you simply request to call 911 and talk to police to verify him. Also ask him to show you his official ID. Any legitimate officer should have no issue with this.
Had the people here that got robbed simply said let me call the police they would not have even been robbed from what it seems since no threat of physical harm was used. He would have just ran and picked someone else.
Things like this make an already nightmare job of being a cop even worse. Don’t just drop your guard cause someone walks up and says they are a cop, check em out it is your right and duty.
I looked at the newest numbers from the National Center for Victims of Crimes and the stalking numbers are way out of hand. According to their report 1 in 12 women and 1 in 45 men will be stalked in their lifetime. Over 75% of the women and 64% of the men know their stalkers.
Now if those numbers weren’t bad enough; 81% of the women stalked by a current or past over are also physically assaulted by them during the stalking which lasts on average almost 2 years!
These numbers are alarming. Especially when you think about 1 out of 5 women were threatened or harmed by a weapon during the stalking. Odds are not in the favor of the victim even if they get a restraining order since these are OFTEN violated by the stalker.
Now don’t misunderstand, I am not saying don’t get a restraining order, you really need to be sure and get this on record. Just don’t think that just cause you filed and received a restraining order, that you are now safe from this person. That piece of paper alone just won’t do.
So here are some tips:
1. Learn what the stalking laws are for your area – go to your local police station and know the laws for your State. It also is a good time to get any literature or suggestions from the police about staying safe from a stalker that they may have.
2. File a restraining order – it alone works 20% of the time on average and it is good to get things on record.
3. Like mentioned above records, keep them- get a book and write down every time he/she harasses you. This includes emails, keep them. Maybe even get a phone recorder like this one digital audio phone or room recorder. Every time he/she calls, record it and if it is threatening turn it over to police.
4. Alert your friends and even the neighbors you are friendly with so they can help keep an eye out. (You should feel no embarrassment your not the idiot doing the stalking, you’re the victim).
5. Consider taking a martial arts course or maybe kick boxing – I say this for a few reasons. You need to try and not show fear to your stalker, it only feeds them. One of the easiest ways to be confident is to KNOW you are able to protect yourself should your stalker decide to get physical. Don’t look for trouble from them just don’t show fear even if you have to fake it.
6. Also consider getting yourself some self defense weapons that you keep with you and scattered around your house in case you need them in an emergency (exercise good judgment with this if children are present).
7. Setting up surveillance cameras around your house or the addition of an alarm can also help secure your home from your stalker. Getting them caught red handed in the act or on surveillance video can be a powerful tool for the police to pursue this person with more zeal.
This is a big subject and these are just a few of the things you should do. More than anything keep and use your head!
I got an email yesterday from a reader we will call Jane. Jane said she tries to drive nice but some of the people who have driven with her said she is very aggressive. With that said Jane also has been the victim in a road rage incident. She didn’t cut him off /wink just kidding, she said she didn’t cut this guy off but in his mind she did so he got real crazy tailgating, honking, flashing his lights, flipping the bird and keep driving next to her pretending he was going to sideswipe her car. He then followed Jane to a red light and got out and came to the car kicking and punching it trying to get to her.
Jane said she was stuck in the middle of about a dozen cars at the light some in front, behind and on the side in other lanes. Not ONE person got out and helped her at all. Some were beeping their horns but no one got out to help. Jane said she was petrified and if the light hadn’t changed he might have done a lot more damage to her car and maybe even her.
Now as I said Monday if you drive nice generally you shouldn’t need to worry about having someone misunderstand your intentions, as what happened to Jane. Avoid engaging other drivers, even if they have done something to make you angry, just let it go it isn’t worth it I promise you. Safely try to put as much distance between you and the other driver as possible if you can do it safely. Also, avoid eye contact and never pull off the road to confront another driver; remember the videos Monday? Call the police and report the car’s license plate number, color and type. If you get a good look at the driver (hopefully only through the mirror, remember avoid eye contact if you can), then be sure to give a description to the police as well.
If you are being chased, let the 911 operator know you need help right away and give them your location. If an officer is nearby he can intervene or they can instruct you on how to proceed. Just be sure to lock your doors, stay in the car and get the police as much info as possible in order to get this idiot taken care of.
Listen I would love to say jump out and kick some behind but that would be reckless, avoidance is ALWAYS the best weapon. Keep your doors locked, get the police on the phone and stay in the vehicle and follow the instructions from the police.
Make it your new policy. No tailgating, for pete’s sake use turn signals I swear it isn’t too much work, don’t wait til the last minute to cut over in front of a turn lane or one ending. You know all the things that annoy you when done to you! Drive nice and you should never have to worry about some nut thinking you cut him off. Another benefit about driving nice, your odds of getting in an at fault accident drops as well, think about it. The life you save may be my own
About 10 years ago Steve and Jill moved into their home in this great neighborhood. A few years later they had a bouncing baby boy and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. In all the time they lived in their quiet neighborhood the worst crime committed was some minor vandalism by kids on people’s mailboxes. Annoying but it could be worse. This was the kind of place that you see on TV where something bad happens and they interview everyone and they all say “I never would have expected something like this to happen here”.
Now about a year or so ago things in this quiet neighborhood changed after a home invasion on the other side of the neighborhood caused a young woman to be shot to death and her husband beaten severely. Worst of all is that they never caught the scumbags that did it.
Right after that Steve decided with the hours he had to work and the recent crime he should pick up a big ol’ fire extinguisher style pepper spray and keep it handy just in case of trouble but all in all he still thought his neighborhood was safe.
One Saturday around 4:30 in the morning they woke up to the sound of breaking glass coming from downstairs. Steve jumps up and grabs the pepper spray and pops out the safety pin. He ran into the hallway and could hear men coming up the stairs. To his credit he kept his cool and jumped out blasting both of the idiots square in the face with some of the hottest pepper spray on the market.
One of the scumbags fired his 9mm but since he was blinded and reeling in pain he hit nothing but steps. Steve started yelling at the men that he was going to kill them if they didn’t get out of his house and since they were unable to see or breathe they TRIED to leave. But by this time they weren’t able to be going anywhere fast!
Jill had already called the po po when she grabbed the phone and locked herself in their son’s room so they were on their way. Steve stayed at the top of the steps to be sure they had to get through him to get to his wife and child. Within just a few minutes the po po had arrived to find the 2 scumbags desperately trying to escape out the back door which wasn’t working out to well for them.
With their eyes swelled almost shut, unable to breathe and beat red in their faces from where the pepper spray absorbed into their pores both of the scumbags were arrested. Later they were both found guilty and are now securely back in their cages for the next 10 years. Steve did exactly what he should have done, he stayed calm. He used his self defense equipment correctly and he was smart enough to stay in a manageable area of his house in order to defend his family.
I caught the morning news and they were talking about the 3 fired administrators at EMU who were fired over the coverup of a young girls rape and murder. Im not gonna lie these people really chap my cheetah!
Before I go off let me refresh your memory about this. Laura Dickinson was raped and murdered in her dorm room at Eastern Michigan University Dec 2006. They found this poor girl after someone complained of the smell!
If that all isn’t bad enough EMU after being told by the coroner that foul play WAS suspected these scumbags post on their website for the students and tell her parents that NO FOUL PLAY WAS SUSPECTED!!!
Now for those of you wondering if this was just a mistake the answer is hell NO! They were more worried about losing money and didnt give a thought to the students’ safety.
To show just how blatant all of this was there were reports about this incident that were supposedly shredded by the student affairs VP Jim Vick, these guys think they are part of the Bush Administration of something.
Now the poor parents of this 22 yr old girl didn’t find out until February of this year that she had been raped and murdered and that the po po had arrested fellow EMU student Orange Taylor for the crime.
Imagine paying big money to send your child to college to have them killed and if that wasn’t bad enough to then be LIED to by that same college! I can’t even imagine the pain and anger they must feel.
The shame of it all is that colleges are straying from being a place of higher education above all and are turning into to nothing but a big business that is concerned more with making money than any thing else!
To prove my point it has even been reported that the EMU Alumni Foundation actually had the huevos to send out a letter pleading with the alumni not to look at the negatives of this situation and continue to donate money! Now how scummy is that!
Thankfully, the Clery Act requires all schools participating in federal student aid programs to report all crime in a “timely manner” or be subject to fines up to 27 grand, which is a start.
But personally, I would like to see the fine be set sooooo high that no college would ever consider covering up any crime…Period!
I also think they should give Mr. Dickinson a steel baton and put him in a room alone with Jim Vick and let him show how much he appreciates the lies told to him about his daughter’s death! Thwap!!!
With the start of the new college semester comes a return to crime against college students. Here are some things you want to keep in mind when sending your child to or back to college.
Crime can happen at any time, this includes daylight hours. A false sense of security can lead to heart break fast.
Last week at around dinner time (daylight), an Elgin community college student was attacked in the school parking lot while walking to her car.
The scumbag walked up and never said a word. He just started punching her in the face and then he tried to drag her off by her hair to his car.
At this point she is in big trouble because if he gets her to his car, odds are good she will never be found alive again. This animal was obviously very violent and I can only imagine what he had in mind for her.
Before he can get her all the way to his car someone saw what was going on and started yelling so he let her go and took off.
Im glad to say this scumbag didn’t get to finish playing out his sick little plan on this young girl but he did get away.
This happens far too often, women need to take a different stance with strange guys. They need to view them as potential attackers first, especially when alone.
But if you just travel using the buddy system even during the day you can lower your chances of attack.
Also this girl saw the scumbag BEFORE he approached her. Being alone in a parking lot she should have turned around immediately when she saw this lowlife lurking around.
After she turned around she should have picked up the pace and if he was following her she could then scream and run. Also ALWAYS have your keys in your hand when in a parking lot alone if you choose not to use the buddy system!
The key to avoiding an attack is to never let them get close enough to put their hands on you. Trust your gut feelings, if something feels wrong, like a guy hanging out in a parking lot, then it probably is wrong.
This goes for during daylight hours!
You can’t always see trouble coming but when approached alone in a parking lot go into defensive mode. Keep him at least 6-8 feet away from you. Tell him to stay back.
He has no reason to come right up in your face unless he is up to something but dont wait until he attacks to react. If he continues to come at you after you said to stay back then…strike!
Start screaming,you should have your keys in your hand so put them between your fingers and make a fist with the keys sticking out and go for the eyes!
If you were smart enough to get a pepper spray and/or stun gun ..USE THEM! As far as I am concerned you should empty the whole can of pepper spray in his face or run the battery out on your stun gun nailing this scumbag so he never forgets the mistake he made in attacking you!
Let him know you arent going down without a fight! Sexual predators look for weak, easy targets.They dont want a fight, they want to dominate and hurt not be hurt. They are the purest form of coward out there like all men who hit women.
It is a shame that women have to worry about even the simple act of walking to their car in a parking lot but you do. Stay aware of your surroundings! The more aware and prepared you are the less appealing a target you will become.
