What kills me is to see women running, or even walking, with earphones in. That is asking to be attacked or mugged. At least keep one ear free to listen and to appear to be aware of your environment. Criminals are predators; predators target the weak link, not strong prey.
One time a couple of guys were approaching me with ill intent. I reached behind my back as if to draw a weapon, and they quickly shifted to the other side of the street. It was a gamble, but it worked. Be aware; look confident, and you will avoid most trouble.
Hey Adelaide, your story is alarming, this is the kind of situation that liberals create with all their "humanitarian" thinking. Do you do marshal arts? If no, maybe it would help you a lot. A 100 years ago, when we were not yet this crazy, you could have just carried your gun and shoot him and be done with it. ... And the funny thing is, maybe he would have thanked you for killing him too, imagine how it must suck to be such an absolute pervert and being alive in the same time.
