Men Help Logan Square Sexual Assault Victim After Hearing Screams, Suspect Escapes
Posting this article saddens me. I am hopeful that the city's finest can locate this criminal and lock him up.
This brings to light an important topic: personal safety. Being a woman, I am try to always be aware of my surroundings at all times. I have been carrying pepper spray with me since my college days. Thankfully I have never had to use it. However, if I do feel unsafe, I will take it out of its holster (which is on my key ring) and keep my index finger ready and on the trigger. Who knows if this would actually be able to fend off an attacker, but it makes me feel a tad safer. Another trick is to take your car keys and put them in between your fingers as a type of brass knuckle arrangement.
I have also thought of taking a self defense class. Maybe this is just the sort of event that will motivate me.
My thoughts go out to the victim and her loved ones. I will be following this story and look forward to the day when I can write about the arrest of her attacker.
