The Best Personal Alarm for the Urban Lifestyle

Some cities in our country don't allow citizens to carry pepper spray or stun devices. But you can still deter muggers, criminals or even rapists with a personal alarm, in an urban setting!

We all know that muggers, criminals and rapists don't like to attract attention to themselves, especially when they are committing a crime. If you live in the city, you might consider purchasing a personal alarm. One of the best available is probably one of the most affordable, it's called the Mace Screecher Personal Alarm. This affordable, Mace product has a 116 decibel sonic blast, but it actually seems louder than 116 decibels. It could easily be considered to sound as loud as 130 decibels. We tested it outside a residence, in windy conditions and it was heard inside, through 3 walls, loud and clear! The sound is from the aerosol it contains and it is similar to the horns you sometimes hear in football games, but with a higher pitch, ear piercing, shriek. This personal alarm is perfect for the urban setting. We all know that with all the city traffic, horns and conversations going on, a mediocre device would not do the trick!

The affordable, $10.95, Mace Aerosol Screecher contains 20 short shrieks or blasts and it's pitch can be heard 1/4 mile away! It's also small, measures only 4 1/4 inches long by 7/8 diameter round. The Screecher is not only perfect for deterring muggers, criminals and rapists in urban settings, but it's also great for kids in parks, to alert their parents, the elderly or anyone walking alone at night in the city! And… no batteries are required!

October is Also Domestic Violence Month

Breast Cancer sometimes overshadows the fact that this month is also dedicated to the domestic violence problem we have in our country.

Just like rape or sexual assault is an epidemic in our nation, so is domestic violence. There are very few people in our country that have not been exposed to this problem, either through their parents, relatives or neighbors. It's a family problem, because if children are present, it's their problem as well. Many times, economic issues drive up the amount of cases, and just worsens the outcome of these situations. Children do poorly in school and most of the time, the wife is the focus of abuse. Plus, lets not forget that in a few cases, the husbands are the ones being abused...

Fortunately, there are many shelters in our nation for violent abuse episodes and women can escape before it's too late. We found a website that actually helps women and offers tips on how to prepare for themselves and their children's escape, from these domestic violence situations. It's called, "THE HOTLINE" and while a woman reads through the site, it actually has a link constantly on the website, that a woman can select, if their abuser peeks over their shoulder, to find out what she is reading about… It's call the "QUICK ESCAPE". She can just click on it and the "Google Search" website shows up instead! Plus, there really is a phone hotline on the site; 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). It too, is present at all times while searching through THE HOTLINE website.

If you or someone you know is dealing with domestic violence, please let them know about THE HOTLINE website, for planning her escape to safety.

Over 5,000 Boy Scouts of America Cases of Sexual Abuse

Recently, the Los Angeles Times posted the Boy Scouts of America files, dated between 1947 to 2005. It shows names of accused individuals, dates, city, state, unit number and many detailed documents of the sexual abuse that took place.

Reading thru some of the cases was overwhelming and the horrific information database, spans thru decades! Most files contained information of about 5,000 men and a few women that were accused of sexual abuse and expelled from the Boy Scouts of America. Such as their physical description, profession, if married or single, children they had, etc. Also included in most, is the correspondence that took place inside the organization and outside as well, like information from the police or family members of the victims. Many individuals had long histories of police records, as well!

You can search through the Boy Scouts of America database by year, city, state, etc. There is even a map you can click on, to narrow your search. To go to the database and for more information, click HERE.
 

Slightly Larger Pepper Spray Can Be Used More Often

This 17% pepper spray is 3/4 oz. versus the regular size spray, which is a 1/2 ounce. Therefore you won't run out of the self defense weapon as fast, and for only $6.95, you can't go wrong!

In case you don't know what 17% means, it's the concentration of pepper within the unit. Most other products only have 10% concentration. Making this baby HOTTER than the average defense spray! Aim this 3/4 oz. self defense weapon into a criminal's eyes and watch them shut their eyes tightly. This is due to the pepper burning the criminals eyes as well as their face. They will cough up a storm and be totally helpless in their agony. You in turn, can escape safely, while the attacker is crying for mercy!

The Pepper Spray 17% 3/4 oz. Keychain Soft Case, also contains a UV Dye. When you spray an attacker in self defense with this weapon, the dye will mark him or her invisibly. If police capture the attacker, this dye will help verify to police that they have captured the right criminal!

List of Ways to Rape Women Found in Miami University

A flyer was found in the men's bathroom at Miami University in Ohio, with a title that read, "The Top 10 Ways To Get Away With Rape". Actually offering tips to readers on how to commit a crime against female students.

The fact that someone or some group decided to place a flyer at Miami University, explaining how to rape females, is one of the most disturbing crime news we've ever come across. This piece of paper actually had instructions on how to go about committing the crime, such as; how to climb into windows, slit a victim's throat, focusing on women walking by themselves, etc. As it stands, women get raped more in university campuses, compared to women in general society today!

The officials at Miami University, called for a mandatory meeting for all their male students to attend and started an investigation on this rape instructions flyer. We suspect that if caught, he or them will just say it was a practical joke...

In this country rape is a very serious matter for women and definitely not a joke. Let's just hope that Miami University, gets to the bottom of this!
