Even though this is outdated, I think women should still watch this video. God Bless

[rosaryfilms]

@Veiled4God - thank you for your comments!

I was hitch-hiking alone one night and a guy gave me a ride. He slammed my head into the dashboard really hard and I had my small knife in my hand. I cut his arm and he stopped to try to take the knife away from me. He was stopped in the lane of a two-lane road. Fortunately for me, a guy in the car behind me partially saw what was happening and stopped and helped me. The potential rapist was caught and he had murdered his last victim. He still got almost no time in jail.

Rapists should be castrated and then put to death.

This video urges women to be cautious. Dated yes, but important. However, the victim is never to blame. But the sad truth is, many of these creeps take any kind of trust or opportunity to carry out their attacks. And often, the woman is raped by someone she knows and trusts. The rapist takes advantage of that trust and that is never the fault of the victim. Every situation is different, every perpetrator is different. It's never simple. Thanks for posting.

[Momsincharge]

This is old thinking that it is always the victims fault, carelessness, behavior or the mode of dress.

[myIittlekittens]

@CyborgNinja7 And you know what else, there is no instruction of how to use the old knee for self defense. There is absolutely NO mention of self defense.

[myIittlekittens]

This video makes me want to join the army!!

[voodooskullz13]

[thekenniewitch]

@huskerdaisy I personally know of a guy who is paralyzed from the waist down because a bullet riccoched off a hard object and hit him in the spine. I do know what I am talking about because I took a great gun safety course. You seem to have a problem with me so I am no longer going to post comments to you. I also will not resort to the childish habit of putting people down.

[huskerdaisy]

@thekenniewitch Continued: “bullets ricochet of hard objects and may hit you” (highly unlikely, you’re watching too many movies), “to shoot a hand gun accurately you need practice” (true if you plan on entering a shooting competition, but we’re speaking self-defense), “too many people hesitate” (what study is this statement based on? People who commit to carrying a concealed weapon commit to the possibility of using it. Again, you’re watching too many movies). “Elbows are legal” (really? Hahaha)

[huskerdaisy]

@thekenniewitch Well aren’t you a condescending little know-it-all. Allow me to respond to each of your individual concerns. “If you get a gun” (I own many), “you need to take safety training” (Um no you don’t, but it’s important to practice regularly, which I do), “some bullets go through walls” (that’s why you use hollow points), “you also need a carry permit” (obviously genius, but a concealed carry permit isn’t necessary for a home defense weapon).

[thekenniewitch]

@huskerdaisy If you get a gun you need to take a safety training in guns. Some bullets have the power to go through walls and you don't want to hit a neighbor. You also need to have a permit to carry. Bullets can riccochet off hard objects and may get you instread of your target. To shoot a handgun accurately takes a LOT of practice. Too many people hesitate at the last second and this gives the enemy time to get the gun away from you. Elbows, however are legal. LOL
