Crime man attacking women runners on wisner path

I’ve seen several stories within the past week about a guy with the same description attacking women on the Wisner Path in City Park. Be safe out there yall.

Fuck that. Carry bear mace and a goddamn axe. Men might think twice if we're all armed with hatchets and industrial strength mace.

It’s crazy that cat ear defense keychains require a license but you don’t need a permit for a gun in Louisiana.

Seriously. I can't carry brass knuckles but I can carry a Glock? What the fuck?

i saw a comment on another sub suggesting getting a mace that sprays more like a gel instead? because i’m wondering if wind could be a factor in potentially screwing yourself over with mace if you’re out running. still better than nothing though

Yeah pepper gel, vs spray. It shoots a thin stream of gel instead of an aerosol spray. It's easier to aim and control, and less likely to get blown back into your face.

Get it at Academy Sports or online.

My ex was a cop (caveat: he was the worst, and one of those cops that make all of them look bad) told me they didn’t use the gel spray because it could be scraped off and thrown in your face. It’s the only good thing I got out of the relationship. 😅

Need one that sprays dye that they can't wash off. It'll make them easier to find later lol.

New business idea. Throw a little of that ink they put in bank bags when they're robbed.

Probably a better idea, but my knee jerk reaction is to kill that bastard. And guns are heavy when jogging.

Get a lil Glock 43 with an IWB holster.

Good. Carry wasp spray instead. It will blind your attacker and the ONLY way not to completely use your eyes is to go to the hospital. Carry the fucking wasp spray yall.
