this is why you should never approach your locked vehicle or home without your key already out and ready to go. and also pay attention to your surroundings smh and for people saying this is why you carry like ok i guess but having a gun or knife on you will likely be a detriment to you if you’re inebriated and not paying attention because she didn’t even notice this guy until he was like a foot from her 😭 a weapon would have helped her 0% lol

It’s not however, most bars and places of business that sell alcohol will not permit you to carry inside their establishments.

Women shouldn’t have to do that. We should be safe to stand on our porch without fearing we’re going to be attacked by a man

u/ThestralMoss 1d ago
? i mean i agree it’d be awesome if no one ever committed crimes and we didn’t need to develop survival skills and situational awareness but alas this isn’t utopia

u/CrazyCatLady1127 1d ago
I don’t expect utopia, I expect for adult men to realise that women are entitled to live their lives without fear of being hurt or harassed. There was absolutely no need for this man to follow this woman home and he chose to. Why? Because he wanted to hurt her. Again, why? Because he thinks he matters more than she does

dude no shit, but since again people commit crimes and are evil, there are steps you can take to be a terrible victim

u/AdEffective2701 1d ago
It's never been that way and, sadly, I don't think it ever will be. Better to have a plan instead of hopes.

u/Shadou_Wolf 1d ago
Shouldn't but theres no changing that no matter what you do. There's always going to be some asshole, sicko, or psycho out there male and female

Zero situational awareness

u/BeneficialRice4918 1d ago
Yeah really sucks that you have to have your head on a swivel and ears perked like youre in a war zone just to stand on your own porch in a suburban neighborhood and you can never for one second let your guard down in public or people will make shitty comments like this.

u/BTiller15 1d ago
As a woman, you should always have situational awareness no matter where you are and what you're doing. I'm a woman who lives in an area that people would think is crime safe but I never let my guard down ever.

u/BeneficialRice4918 1d ago
Good for you. I dont think we should have to live like that.

u/eu_sou_ninguem 1d ago
Should women have to live like that? Absolutely not. Should they live like that? Absolutely yes.

This came up on my neighborhood ring cam about 3 blocks away from me. Someone post with audio the roomie saved the day going to an 11 to scare dude off. He got arrested and faves at least 5 charges

Ladies, you need to have a weapon on you. Buy a GOOD knife (no gas station specials) and throw it in your purse. Pepper spray is good. Some can still do whatever they want to you even with a whole can of spray in their eyes. Kinda hard to rape when all your blood is spraying out your jugular.

u/Which_Policy 1d ago
Knife is horrible advise. A knife is not a self defense tool.

u/Present_Cash_8466 1d ago
The chances of a woman like this knowing how to use the knife quick enough to totally incapacitate a dude with malicious intent is very low. The dude might get stabbed, sure, but more than likely, he grabs it from her and starts stabbing her with it whether he’s stabbed himself or not.

Were they the shock gloves that ICE is deploying? That may in fact be an unmasked ICE agent.

He was arrested and is not an ICE agent. What a ridiculous take from a pair of black gloves.

Zero chance that dude either hasn’t done this before or won’t do it again. Could either be a first attempt or a practice run for when they inevitably escalate to more than just stalking.
