No, only for perps. Real people would be arrested and face consequences. Perps would be arrested, released, and just not go back to court.
This is true. But people dont want to be raped, robbed and murdered so some will go by the judgment by 12 vs carried by 6. The human survival instinct is powerful. There have been cases of smaller weaker people surving deadly encounters against strong attackers and escaping. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug.
Can be a life altering encounter either way. Sadly more likely for us due to the city being violent criminals playground in these times.
I have their Strikelight 2 in my car for light work. I’m dying to trying it out to see how powerful it is. I’ll probably get a friend to hit me with it to check it out first.
“ I have the strikelight 2 in my car for light work.” Haha how nice.
The thing about all these subway attacks is the victims are always caught off guard. The attackers come from out of nowhere really fast. Even vigilant people with street smarts are caught off guard and then in a state of surprise after the attack happens.
Myself, I am always vigilant and watching around my back and scanning my environments. On the sidewalks I look behind me and if a person looks stressed or they look off, I will pull over and wait for them to pass. So I go into high cortisol mode outside.
Just today: I walked down to a subway platform at Grand Central and saw on the other platform a woman was attacked in the face and a couple police were there consoling her. She said somebody punched her in the face. There was blood. It was a middle aged black woman and she looked street smart like a native New Yorker possibly. She was just surprised anybody hit her out of nowhere. Also, typically there were some transplant kids nearby me acting like it was no biggie they acted all nonchalant. No biggie for the transplant hipsters. So I said hi to this other woman who was a normal city person who was watching the whole thing unfold and she at least had a heart and we both admitted things are out of hand violence wise in the city.
Moral or the story is the attackers are more street savvy than us. They know how to sneak around in the shadows so people will not have time to whip out a taser.
I can't stress enough the great equalizer that is Bear Spray. You can buy it online. It's as effective if not more than pepper spray and can reach 30ft in distance. So, for example, if you're at a red light and the hood rat rolls up next to you in his car with his Texas plates at 1am and then displays a gun, you zap him in a split second from the seat of your car and render him disabled.
I've used it a few times in 2020 during the height of blm riots. Worked wonderfully.
Also about the story above at Grand Central, after watching the woman with a bloody face, when my train arrived the car I first almost got into had a drugged homeless guy laying on the ground of the car in front of the subway door. So the hipster Liberal Progressive kids went in that car and just walked around this guy all nonchalantly like this is just how it is in the big city. Stupid Liberals. So the guy was out like a light laying there On The Ground (looking almost dead) laying In Front of the opening subway door which would block any sensible person from walking in that door, but the trendy Liberals just walked around the guy. So I decided to go in one car down where it was a little safer feeling.
Now I find this other story of a subway attack from today around the same time, which could be overlapping or not. It was some guy attacked in the subway under Bryant Park.
It is just non stop madness and lawlessness down there?
You can always carry a walking cane with an ice gripper on it. Those are 100% LEGAL.
