If only there were some sort of ‘equalizer’ a person could carry on their person to thwart such attacks...

‘equalizer’
Since guns are out- how about a pitbull instead of a poodle

Or perhaps if she had something larger than a couple of rugrats(don't get offended, I'm sure the little dogs are quite nice)for companionship. I have a small dog myself, 145 pounds of small and I can assure you people give him a wide berth even though he's a gentle giant.

hmmm, thinking...yes, yes...you are right something small, something that you could put in a leather or plastic holder, or she could put in her purse...

hhmmm...if only there was something like that that you could buy relatively cheaply and that really sends a message...

or she could just throw the poodle at the attacker i guess or plead for her life, because once they finish with phones and it ramps up to more (and it will) she is going to be begging for that small item..

Sounds like she had the phone up and talking on it. Obviously no excuse to get robbed, but I’m amazed at how people walk around with no awareness of what is going on around them while they are CONSTANTLY on their phones. I’m guessing the bad guys are looking for that.

Of course it really amazes me when they cross the street without looking - just yapping along.
