if I'm a maniac and I see this woman with a chargable jacket, I'd wear some electrician equipment.... anyway it could work with criminals not smart enough, or not equipped

it is surprising to me that so many people protect themselves that way, although it really shouldnt be. i am a huge fan of ann rule and i read about any and every serial killer i can, yet when it comes down to it, i have no form of weapon. i did take self defense classes, and learned to throw a punch into the windpipe, and then the eyes and groin, i also learned not to scream rape or help but fire. keys are wonderful too i hear, thankfully i havent had to find out!

Well, here's my advice: don't do that fucking key thing. Studies show that women who use that key thing (jutting it out from between their fingers in a clenched fist) just end up shredding their hand to shit.

Other than that, move to Kansas City. This seems to be the peacefullest darned city ever.



what part of kansas city do you live in??? because kc has one of the highest crime rates in the us. or it did. i cant imagine it getting better.

Shalome is right and so is Nixon

where does it end though?? weapons, weapons and more weapons-- you gotta do what you want and go where you want and live your life without being afraid but you gotta be smart too--

always go for the throat or the eyez

and whatever you do, do not watch the movie IRREVERSIBLE

Well, i live in the 'hood, and before word got out, there were some problems. There was a rap studio across the street, and when i would ask the hangers-on to:

1) not park on my sidewalk
2) not smoke blunts in front of the door to my business
3) not block the driveway to the parking lot
4) not litter all over the sidewalk
5) not lay on the horn at 3am (ghetto doorbell) to get into the studio
6) not have screaming cellphone arguments under my bedroom window @ 3am

they would act like they wanted to fight (all of them, and there were usally several outside at any given time). I sometimes walked out with a running chainsaw, if i was using it to trim back trees and brush in the yard - that got people real polite, real fast, even the biggest hoodlum wannabes.
Usually, though, i'd just call the cops. When the rapper's entourages got mouthy and agressive with them, they'd get arrested and the cars ticketed and towed.

After this happened several dozen times over 3 years, the rap studio was shut down by the city.

Ahhh, the silence. smile

. . . . . . .that is quite possibly the most abusable and misguided idea in the history of self-defense. Seriously. Sort of like having a gun in the house but a lot more likely to misfire.

I protect myself by ignoring every motherfucker that comes and asks for money, directions, a drink (c'mon that money goes into my alcohol problem, not their potential). Street folk bug me, but that's why they're there, because they're all nuts. Worse case scenario... I too hold my keys tight in my fist sticking out. I walk through some thug shit downtown sometimes. It's all part of life in the big city.

having an aire of confidence, according to all the self-defense instructions I've learned from at least, is one of the most important things to have. if you don't look weak, and i'm not talking about big muscles etc, I'm talking about looking like an individual who will submit, is what the attackers look for. Don't walk around like you're going to kick everyone's ass, but don't look like the AV kid either. Look around, be aware of your surroundings...

I just look broke. And I'm ugly. That seems to keep the riffraff away.

its good to be paraniod because wierdos are even in the least expected areas. i used to carry a .32 in my car and i always carry a knife. one of my friends was beaten into a coma 2 blocks from his house which was in a "safe" neighborhood. i was jumped by 8 kids right outside of my apartments but since i had a little "confidence" they ran away after only getting a couple punches in and breaking my nose. be paranoid. but dont be scared. once your scared, you'll never be able to stand up to your fears.

First I pinch your upper arm
Second I make loud eating noises and bury my face in your neck.
Then I try to stick a finger up your bum.

This also doubles as foreplay.
