NYPD Warns Women Not to Wear Short Skirts Because They Could Get Raped
The Blaze ^ | 10-01-11 | Madeleine Morgenstern

Don’t wear short skirts — you could get raped.

That’s essentially the advice the New York Police Department is giving young women in one Brooklyn neighborhood following a slew of unsolved sexual attacks in the past few months.

The warnings are being met with outrage, with residents saying police should be focusing on catching the suspects, not criticizing women for what they choose to wear.

One South Park Slope resident told the Wall Street Journal about an encounter she had with an NYPD officer this past week:

Good Ol' Mayor Bloomy is all concerned about people owning salt shakers and cigarettes, but when there is a real crime being perpetrated, the solution is getting women into burkas. Outrageous.

When seconds count, the unionized cops are minutes away. So button up that Burqua and look for the union label.

Well, they’re right. No woman wearing a long skirt has ever been raped.

If a serial killer was targeting men who wore red ties would the reaction be as thin-skinned?

Muslim or Dhimmi police officer? How about we let the women defend themselves and get CCW permits?

If the reaction was in response to the NYPD saying men shouldn't wear red ties, then the reaction should be just as strong. Criminals shouldn't decide how the rest of us dress. If the NYPD can't enforce that simple condition, the solution is an armed citizenry.

Seems to me there’s a religion that encourages this sort of thing.

Hmmmmm, can’t quite remember which one it is, gotta Google it.

I think I’ll start with the letter “I”.

It should not have to take the NYPD to know that short skirts and immodest dress in general are an invitation to trouble. Our forefathers in this land knew better than to dress like drunken heathen. And its not just an Islamic thing. People can find in their Bibles condemnation of immodesty in clothing.

While women wearing short skirts shouldn’t be blamed, there is a certain amount of common sense required.

After a series of rapes in Ann Arbor, police suggested that women not be out wandering the streets alone at night. The NAGS went ballistic that such “misogynist” comments could come from city officials.

If it were me I would have issued a second statement. “Fine, you’re on your own. I suggest you arm yourselves.”

Seems to me a long skirt could be more hazardous because (1) she could trip on it and (2) a would-be rapist could sieze the hem.

It’s just not as easy.

A long skirt just keeps getting in the way.

He’s made it absolutely clear that he has gone Muzzie on the city. I can not believe they tolerate this Billionaire Mullah wannbe.

It is way past time for him to move onto an Islamic paradise where he will find the glory of the religion of pieces he so loves. He needs to take all his homosexual aides and supporters with him.

Of course...it’s the woman’s fault! NYC cops have better things to do...like profile white tea party anti Obama persons.

Thanks Lazlo in PA.

This will happen when a Demwit who switched parties becomes hizzoner and happens to have a burst of common sense, strictly due to new associations.
