Crime Prevention, Protection And Self-defense - It's Time To Start Fighting Again!
We must report the possibility of crime and unwanted violent attacks at all times and frequently. This may be the harsh environment we are currently in. Some crimes are "random" crimes and can be committed to anyone at any time. The cute mother nature of some of these crimes is pretty horrific today and seems to keep getting worse. Nobody resists crime. Only one way to avoid committing a felony is for each of us to complete our own separate section to protect ourselves from a felony. My goal will be to try out and establish some method of non-lethal self-defense weapon in the hands of as many people as possible. I hope more people are likely to be willing to take an active role in crime prevention. And probably the best way to prevent a felony is to carry a non-lethal, incapacitating self-defense tool wherever you go and keep it on hand in case of unforeseen emergencies. so you need to use your self defense.

Gilles de Rais
Let’s talk about, arguably, one of the evilest people from history. Some historians call him “The Evilest Man in the World.” We can go ahead and call him that — just don’t tell my high school English teacher because she’d smack your hand with a ruler and insist “evilest” isn’t a word and that it’s actually “The Most Evil Man in the World.”

Protected Valkyrie ...
Someday she would not have to remind herself that the words and actions of her “friends” and the people who had hurt her had happened. She still did every day just to remind herself it wasn’t her fault, and it had all happened even if no one would even return an email and do the right thing. No one should not have to live with the things that happened to her and everyone should have listened and done something. They were things no one should ever be put through or forced to carry with them every day. That would always be the case. It would never change that it happened and everyone she trusted and loved had turned their back on her. Until someone listened she would always have to do it because it was what happened and continued to be. She hadn’t changed, she had been forced to see the uglist side of law enforcement, EMS and have no one that should be making sure it didn’t happen to anyone else or keep her from being afraid .

Broken Mirrors
Elias pulled out her lighter, flicked the igniter. Watched the flame temporarily displace the darkness around it, temporarily displace the quiet with an indignant hiss, temporarily displace her rabid thoughts. The sirens were closer now, almost outside. She tucked the lighter into her occupied pocket.
