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 unsuspecting woman dead.
Never let stuff like this go and tell your daughters the same thing. It isn’t 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 don’t 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 aren’t going down without a fight! Sexual predators look for weak, easy targets.They don’t 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.
A University of Arizona student was attacked while moving into her new apartment just off the UA campus. The attacked happened in broad daylight like the title says and this was not a secluded place.
The young lady told police she was moving into her apartment when a man approached and barged his way in.
The young woman kept her head thankfully and she began to scream and fight him off. He got scared and ran away from the scene; the young lady was thankfully unharmed in the attack.
I wanted to bring this story to you just in case you or someone you know and love is getting ready to go to college.
Many women get a false sense of security during the daylight hours which is only natural but sadly the freaks don’t only come out at night.
Anyone going back to or starting at college needs to keep these kinds of attacks in mind. This happened in broad daylight in Tucson, Arizona; campus dorms and even off campus housing can be a hunting ground for sexual predators.
Yes, most women who become the victim of sexual assault at college get attacked by someone they know or by a date but there are also the random psychos you need to worry about as well.
It is a sad state of affairs but sadly it is something of which you need to be aware. The moral here is simple as this brave young lady did, keep your head and fight back.
Scream, look him in the face and start swinging and kicking. The crazier you seem the more likely he is to run off with his tail between his leg like this scumbag did.
Don’t let him grab you, slide to the side, smack at his hands and forearms. Kick at his groin or stomach. Anything to keep him away from you, if he does get to grab you go for the groin, the nose, the throat, the eyes and the ears.
If you can’t punch use the palm of your fist and smash him in the nose and then jab him in the throat. Once he is gasping…run away screaming loudly (you should be screaming the whole time to help get attention, scare him off and/or disorient him).
If he grabs you from behind go for the groin, smash his foot with your heels, scratch at the face (eyes especially). Once you break free turn and kick him to the groin or jab him in the throat and then run screaming once again.
Most of all is your brain, use it! Just pay attention to your surroundings and put the cell phone down! No iPods or mp3 players keeping you from hearing an attacker coming.
Carry some type of self defense weapon. At the very least carry a Kubaton but I also recommend a pepper spray for your purse and a mini stun gun as well. You see during an attack, one or more might not be “handy” so having 3 increases your odds of having something at hand to help save you from attack.
Many women who read these tips are going to not like what you need to do to stay safe but before you say it I will. It isn’t fair that women can’t go to a party and not have to worry about becoming a victim it also isn’t fair there are attacks at all. But there are attacks everyday and this for now at least, is the world we live in.
I’ll give you a perfect example without identifying where this attack took place or who exactly was involved. This attack took place on a college campus where to young women went to a party at a frat house together.
During the night both girls wound up in the bathroom doing beer bongs with a guy. When he started making out with the one girl the friend left the bathroom. He then took the girl into the stall and raped her.
I didn’t give names or info so I could pick this night apart.
First let’s discuss what she and her friend did correct:
They went to the party together.
Now let’s discuss what they did wrong and why it was wrong:
They went into the bathroom, out of public eye, with a strange guy and started doing beer bongs. This was wrong for many reasons other than just going out of public sight with some guy you just met even with a friend. The other bad thing here is the beer bongs. They were designed for one thing and one thing only…getting trashed. Bad idea for a woman at a party with drunken, horny guys.
The other real bad thing here was that her friend left her alone with this guy. What is the purpose of taking a friend with you if she just leaves you? You need to be sure you make a vow with a friend you can trust with your life. The vow should be that you two come together and leave together…..period!
If you meet a guy, get his digits and then see him later. A party is NOT a good place to be boyfriend for the night hunting in my opinion. Meet guys all you want, flirt, talk, have fun but stay together.
I’ll tell you a secret I don’t think women know or believe. Guys know you bring a friend to keep you from doing something stupid and any good date raper will have planned for this by having a friend to try and divide and conquer you two or at least one of you.
Sick right? Well it is also true. I believe it is the testosterone or maybe men are just pigs, who knows?
Ok let’s recap and expand a little on some safety tips:
Never drink from any cup handed to you, get your own drink and if there is some reason the guy doesn’t want you to get it yourself even after you insist then it might be time to go.
Remember this is important, don’t drink or taste anybody else’s drink.
Never set your drink down unattended or eat food at frat parties (too easy to slip something in it)
Dispose of your drink if you think it tastes odd (if you just leave it, someone else may drink
it). Drugs used to spike drinks can be colorless and tasteless so you might not realize that anything has been added.
Always bring at least one friend with a consented vow that no matter what you two stay together at all times. Don’t let anyone separate you two for any reason.
Be aware of the behavior of your friends. Is their behavior out of character? Do they seem too “out of it” for what they’ve had?
Avoid excessive drinking, beer bongs are a total no no. It is much too much alcohol at one time and it is too risky.
Watch out for your friends. Are they binge drinking or taking drugs? Are they making safe decisions? Are they OK?
Avoid drugs of any kind at parties (you never what you are really taking).
If your friend needs to sober up or straighten out, check to see that they are OK. Are they alone? Who is with them? Are they safe?
Encourage people who are drunk to drink water or eat something. Keep an
eye on them, if you can.
Look it is common sense, if you want to stay then do it! You have all heard
the horror stories and know what type of behavior has the highest odds of
getting you into trouble and if you avoid this behavior you can go to a party
and have fun without getting attacked.
I also highly recommend you take a self defense course that gives you a
lengthy hands on approach to self defense. Having these skills could truly make
the difference between being a victim or not.
Back in March of 2006 Manuel de Jesus Noriega-Ruvalcaba was accused of luring a co-worker to his home and then violently raping her for hours.
Before he could be arrested he fled when he found out she had reported the crime. But thanks to the good work of the New Mexico police and the assistance of the Mexican government this man is being extradited back to the US to face charges.
He will be formally charged with five counts of criminal sexual penetration and one count each of kidnapping, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery.
Thanks to some good police work this lowlife won’t be roaming the streets anytime soon!
In Tampa Florida 35 year old Lisa Baker had been allegedly kidnapped at knife point by 54 year old Marcus A. Young. Baker told police that she knew Young and they had got into an altercation earlier that day.
He then used a knife to tie her up and duct tape her mouth shut before placing her in the back seat of his white Blazer SUV.
Another driver had pulled up next to the Blazer on the highway and he say Lisa Baker in the back seat tied up and her mouth taped. She had pressed her face against the window to be sure th driver saw her and he then called police.
They stopped the SUV moments later and arrested Mr. Young and rescued Ms. Baker who was later taken to a local hospital and released.
None of the reports I have found list the good Samaritans name, but whomever he is I have one thing to say to you. GOOD JOB BUD!
More people need to taken an active stance against crime and maybe we can finally live in a better world.
This story is one that just makes me sick and really makes me ask what is wrong with our kids today? When I was young, which wasn’t THAT long ago. The worst things we did was smoke and drink and fight and do stupid things like that but never anything close to what kids are capable of today.
It is to the point that you can’t even trust strange teenagers anymore than you can some adult men. You see what I mean by the end of this story and this story is not intended for younger readers even though it is based off of news reports this story is horrific.
A 35 year old Haitian Immigrant and her 12 year old son live in Dunbar Village in West Palm Beach Florida. They have lived there since they immigrated to the US with no money as this is low income projects type housing.
On July 7th, a teenager lured the woman outside out her door and then all 10 teenagers pushed their way in. For 3 HOURS they terrorized this poor woman and her son at gunpoint. They all repeatedly gang raped and sodomized this woman while in the other room her son was beaten.
The woman told reporters some off the boys had raped her two and some three times each. As said earlier this went on for 3 hours. To end the woman told reporters they forced her to perform oral sex on her son.
Then they doused the two with household cleaners and left the premises. Not one of her neighbors came to their aid nor did anyone call the cops. This was a loud and extremely violent and lengthy attack so how her neighbors could ignore this is beyond me.
The poor woman had to stumble her way to a hospital a mile away because she had already had her car stolen in a previous incident. In this day and age how can this happen in any community at all?
How can people stay silent and allow thugs to terrorize them and their neighbors? The time is come for good people to say enough is enough and take back our streets. We out number them and if we band together we can win but I am a dreamer.
So far through DNA and fingerprints they have arrested 2 teenagers so far, one 14 and the other 16. The other 8 are being sought but are also young as well. Sick little world.
Some things you can do to protect yourself if you live in a bad area:
Never open your doors and be lured outside – if they say there is something you need to see just say thank you and will we have my husband/boyfriend take a look at it in a few minutes or something but never open the door or go outside, even if it is a kid (see above story).
Get yourself a security door brace, they are inexpensive and can really help you to be safer. They sell for 15 and 19 dollars and are worth the small investment. See our door braces. Some of the door braces also work on sliding glass doors and should be used to help secure these types of doors as well.
Getting some type of defensive weapon such as pepper sprays or stun guns or even a taser x26c. You should have something to help give you a fighting chance.
We have inexpensive alarm systems that are great for apartments, they are easy to use and portable so you don’t have to ask for permission to use them. It also allows you to easily take them with you if you move.
