I cannot believe this was posted somewhere without someone realizing how stupid they were making themselves look. Having been law enforcement for many years, I have seen many stupid cop’s who actually think like this, but those were usually the ones who had been there way to long. The best advise to avoid being attacked that I give my daughters is to be aware of who is around them (no music blasting on their headset so they cannot hear a car honk behind them), always walk/run with confidence (rapists wont usually pick a strong person, but want someone who “looks” timid or weak so they can overpower them) and to always carry something that can be used as a weapon, a knife is good, but keys between you fingers when you punch as hard as you can work in a bind). And to remember that two balls in your hand will get a man’s complete attention (give those babies the hardest squeez possible), as well as bring a guy to his knees. Then kick him in the face.

GoogleCache sees all, knows all. It’d be nice if they replaced the removed page with an apology to the students they’re supposed to be protecting and serving.

Interestingly, the link to the tips no longer seems to be working.

Those annoying poor women are really getting to me, guys. Living in poor neighbourhoods, not affording cellphones. Next thing you know, they’ll be making excuses for, say, working night shifts too. Everyone knows what you deserve to happen to you when you work a night shift in a poor neighbourhood. Jesus.

Okay, full disclosure: ideally I would light my fist on fire, raise one eyebrow in a cocky manner, and put said flaming fist through his spine while saying something witty.

And this had me laughing to myself like a fool on the bus this morning. Light my fist on fire… hehhehhehheh…

Well,that was extremely classist, in addition to everything else.

In the unlikely event of an armed abductor, the likely endgame is murder or attempted murder, so risking a non-fatal gunshot wound is a good gamble.

Yeah, the premise didn’t seem terrible — ideally I would scream my head off and sprint in the opposite direction rather than take my chances that random armed dude is telling the truth about not shooting/raping/whatever once I get in his van. But if that plan doesn’t work out? I would prefer not to be told by the cops that I’m a dumb bitch. :p

On the other hand, they are half-decent tips for surviving in a town full of vampires.

Oh, and upon a second reading, they appear to have left out the most important part of that whole thing–the secondary location part. If it’s just a “predator with a gun,” rather than “armed abductor,” you’re dealing with very different risks of death or severe injury.
