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!

The pepper spray will make em back off!

Stay safe and keep your eyes open!
