Sad.

There was a sicko who was raping and killing young women in San Diego county along trials a few years ago. As I recall, one strong athlete escaped him, and that was how he got caught.

What might have happened had this young woman been armed? But that is almost impossible in virulently anti-gun NYC. Another victim of the Liberal mindset and the Sullivan Act.

A simple pepper spray canister would save a lot of lives and stop a whole lot of rapes.

And he usually ran with her but wasn’t up to it that day. Sickening that we can no longer be safe in the outdoors.....even when close to our homes.

Sad for many reasons.

That said it is good to listen to common sense warnings.

I mean of course we can go anywhere we legally want, but one is wiser to not put themselves is positions that others can do bad things to them. For example I do not go into certain inner city neighborhoods.

New York? Armed protection is only for Oprah and other celebrities. Oh yes, and those with illegal weapons.

The average citizen has no right to legal weapons. Not even those recommended by our vice president for home protection.

...but sooner or later people are going to snap back to the reality that our cities and streets can no longer be assumed safe.

The willful and commonplace naiveté of the victim, while lamentable, is sufficient testimony to your point, and points beyond.

Following the 1967 riots, the Detroit Police Department formed a unit called S.T.R.E.S.S. which patrolled bad neighborhoods dressed as civilians.

They were highly successful but unfortunately the racist poverty pimps, soul brothers with then Detroit Mayor Coleman Young, convinced him to disband the unit in 1974........

My heart aches for this dad.

May his daughter find peace.

More than she got in this world.

It’s a good thing as an honest citizen she isn’t allowed to carry a handgun in New York. Somebody might have gotten hurt.

I don’t want to be cruel but, really? What did you THINK was going to happen?

An older friend described to me how the FBI did something like that decades ago as Newark NJ fell (due to the high number of FBI civilian employees being mugged there); supposedly they eventually stopped because they would have arrested so many young black men - it was like baiting them (they disguised law enforcement as white women, and the blacks couldn’t resist trying to steal the purses).

When the infamous “Central Park Jogger” rape case arose decades ago, it quickly came out that cops who knew her had been telling her not to jog in the park alone at night; she showed them...
