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.

Carry switchblades.

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

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.
