Sweden’s police chief unveiled the force’s latest weapon in the fight against sexual assault: wristbands reading “Don’t touch me”.

The press release announced that police intend to equip young women with wristbands with the slogan “don’t touch me”. This will happen over the summer, at festivals and other events for young people. “By wearing these wristbands,” Sweden’s police chief said, “young women will be able to make a stand”.
It is unclear how effective the wristbands, which read “don’t touch me” in Swedish, will be in preventing attacks, as the majority of sex attack perpetrators are thought to be recent migrants who are unlikely to be able to read them.
Mr. Eliasson suggested that by wearing these accessories, women would also be able to “draw attention to the issue [of sexual assault], and urge those affected to report”.

Sexual assaults were reported at Swedish music festivals Arvika in 2006 and 2010, Emmaboda in 2014 and Bråvalla in 2015. Police were accused of covering up the attacks.
Breitbart London reported that Stockholm Council and festival organisers in the country knew sex attacks by migrants were endangering women, but thought it would have been “irresponsible” to speak out about the trend.

I dunno...I would outfit my female loved ones with at least a 9mm. I know it’s a bit anemic but somewhat better than a wrist band.
Yep, that should do the trick.
Maybe they could do something with ribbons too!
Those are very protective.
lol
While they’re at it, they might as well make up a couple of more wrist bands:
Don’t shoot me.
Don’t hack off my head.
What a great idea! And small business owners who need to carry cash deposits at the end of the night should just wear T-shirts that say “Don’t rob me, I’m carrying cash”.
Yeah, that’ll work.
This is from the same people who offered classes on how to treat women to refugees. That didn’t work either.
For their next act, the Swedish government will get the group ABBA back together so they can announce they will refuse to do concerts in NC because of their “hateful” bathroom laws.
Dang... and all this time I though hashtags could fix everything. </s
The challenge adds to the excitement. LOL. I wonder how many idiots will think that will protect them?
Like these bracelets will prevent sexual assaults. The Swiss are crazy.
Who knew crime fighting could be so easy. Slaps head, should have thought of this years ago.
A handgun would make a more resounding stand.

They could make a much bolder stand if they pulled out a .357 magnum and blew the perv's head off.
It is unclear how effective the wristbands ... will be in preventing attacks, as the majority of sex attack perpetrators are thought to be recent migrants who are unlikely to be able to read them.
Ignoring the obvious, are we?
...by wearing these accessories, women would also be able to “draw attention to the issue [of sexual assault], and urge those affected to report”.
I was under the impression that women had already tried to "draw attention to the issue" but that when they reported the assaults to the police, they were told to stay home, wear sexless clothes, and try not to offend muslimes. What good does it do to report a crime if the people who are supposed to protect you are on the side of your assailants?
If the West is reduced to fighting rape by wearing rubber bands, then it is finished as a culture.
Nothing says “don’t touch me” as well as a 9mm.
Hmmm....”Virginia Hale” posted this article...
For some reason, I like her... :^)
‘Sweden’s police chief said, “young women will be able to make a stand”. “
This touchy-feely approach to law enforcement in Sweden has gone too far.
A bracelet,`for heaven’s sake.
.
it will, The crime reports will prove it too.
The Swedes also need to hold a “Take Back the Night” march - that’ll show those Muslims not to mess with the Swedes!
