Dainty adult film star Alison Angel at home.

The National Reporter
Alison Angel, the petite beauty and star of several adult films was attacked outside of her home over the weekend by an obsessed fan.

Alison Angel is the second adult film star who has been in the news this week.

“I was out in my garden watering my tomato plants when this guy came up from behind out of no where and put his arms around me.” Miss Angel told us.
The National Reporter - What did you do?
“Well at first I was scared, but my karate training kicked in and I grabbed his arms and threw him over my shoulder.” she said.
Alison has been taking karate lessons from long time friend and co-adult film star Gianna Michael’s.
Alison holds a brown belt and she expects to be promoted to black belt early next year.
The National Reporter - What happened after you threw him to the ground?
“I thought he was knocked out at first because he just layed there for a few seconds. But then he got up and came at me again. That was when I really layed into him with a few round house kicks and a flurry of punches.” She said.
The National Reporter – Were you scared at all?
“Not at first, I just reacted and let my Karate training take over. The next thing I knew he was laying on the ground unconcience and I ran inside to call the police.”

The mugger has been identified as 24-year-old Abdul Mustafa, who had recently immigrated to the U.S. from Pakistan.
Police have disclosed that he is a registered sex offender in Pakistan and had been imprisoned seven times for rape and child molestation before he immigrated to the U.S. last year.

Abdul Mustafa after being beat up by petite adult film star, Alison Angel.

When The National Reporter showed Miss angel the photograph of her attacker taken at the county jail, she let out a quiet girlish giggle.
“Oh my goodness,..did I do that?” she said.
She seemed kind of surprised at the severity of the facial injures that she had inflicted on him.

Ooops,..I guess I don't know my own strength.

The muggers

theyearofwords — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 07:22:02 +0000

One. In white
Pants, shirt, bandana, bravado
A designer apostle, contracting his wings
And pointing his gun
And making demands.

Two. Slightly larger,
Though I called him chubby,
In the police files.
I admit, a petty revenge
which soothed an opened ego.
He was, though.

Three.
Scrawny.
The only one smart enough
To wear his bandana pulled up
Hiding his face but the eyes,
He remained the modern bandit cliché
As he, Chubby, And the angel
stole my belongings,
And left me on a dark street we met upon.

Unhurt,
Except I was.

How to deal with a mugger.

Muggers Return Wallet After Seeing Army ID (Associated Press)

Nathan R. Jessup — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:53:00 +0000

MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee Army reservist’s military identification earned him some street cred Tuesday, when he says four men who mugged him at gunpoint returned his belongings and thanked him for his service after finding the ID.

An amazing story. It sure is good to know there is still honor among thieves. Should these criminals be treated any differently for their show of appreciation?

More than 60,000 muggers and louts should NOT be jailed each year, say prison bosses

godhelpus — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:47:53 +0000

More than 60,000 muggers, burglars and yobs would escape jail every year under a scheme proposed by prison governors.

They say jail sentences of less than 12 months should be abolished, with criminals given community punishments instead.

This would slash the number of people sent to jail annually by more than two-thirds.

But critics warn the proposal will make the justice system ’soft’ and claim that community services are a poor deterrent or punishment for such crimes.

The plan would also abolish the power of magistrates to send a criminal to jail. Currently, they cannot normally order jail sentences that exceed six months.

Prison places cost around £38,000 a year. The Prison Governors Association argues that, in the current financial crisis there is not enough money to afford short jail terms for convicts.

Today the PGA’s president Paul Tidball will tell its annual conference: ‘Prison, the most expensive disposal option for the courts, should be reserved for those of highest risk to communities and citizens.

‘This principle made sense before. It is the more compelling now we really can’t afford, literally, to be locking people up unnecessarily, ineffectually, and so pointlessly.’

In 2007, 64,315 of the 95,208 criminals sentenced to immediate custody by the courts were imprisoned for 12 months or less.

Commonly, they include thieves, muggers, shoplifters, some burglars and drunken louts involved in street violence.

The PGA conference will debate a resolution calling for such sentences to be abolished, arguing it is ‘deplorable’ that the prison population has reached 84,000.

Mr Tidball said he expected the resolution to attract ‘obvious and probably unanimous support’.

There were 84,354 inmates in the British jail system as of last Friday, despite around 2,500 being released more than two weeks early from their sentences every month.

Ministers have pledged to increase prison capacity to 96,000 by 2014, but these spaces are expected to be immediately filled.

Criminologist David Green described the PGA’s idea as ‘deeply misguided’ and ‘perverse’.

He said keeping criminals in jail actually saved money, compared with the wider costs of their reoffending upon release.

Dr Green, director of the Civitas think-tank, added: ‘The effectiveness argument is that people leave prison after short sentences and reoffend, and they blame that on prison.

‘I blame that on releasing them. They are released when they should not be.

‘The problem in this country is we give short sentences to people who should serve longer sentences.’

Tory justice spokesman Dominic Grieve said: ‘Gordon Brown failed to provide enough prison capacity, first as Chancellor and then as Prime Minister.

‘The answer to the current overcrowding-crisis is to build enough prison places to relieve pressure on governors and set a system in place to reform and rehabilitate offenders.’

In his speech, Mr Tidball will also warn that cuts and overcrowding could lead to ‘widespread disorder’ within the prisons system.

He will quote from an email from another governor warning of the potential for sustained violence.

Mr Tidball will add: ‘The potential catastrophe of widespread disorder resulting from foolhardy cuts takes the debate to another level.’

The Government has itself voiced frustration at the use of shorter jail sentences, and wants fewer convicts sent to jail.

Ex-home secretary Charles Clarke said he believed many of the criminals given a year or less in jail would be better served by community punishments.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: ‘We are clear that prison is the right place for the most serious, violent and persistent offenders, and we will always provide enough prison places for those who should be behind bars.

‘But it is not always the right answer for less serious offenders, for whom tough community sentences can be more effective in terms of turning them away from crime and therefore giving greater protection to the public than short custodial sentences.

‘However we believe it is important for the judiciary to have a range of options open to them – in some cases a period in prison will be necessary to deal with some offenders.’

Now why didn’t I think of that, let’s stop sending violent criminals to prison, let the scum sucking bastards who terrorize neighbourhoods walk freely down our streets, give them some tough community service like sweeping the leaves off our streets, let’s send them on a tuff holiday abroad where they will have to suffer the hot sand and warm waters of the med, let us send them on a nice sailing holiday, I am sure that by not sending them to Prison and giving them hard punishment’s like I have stated we won’t have any more crimes committed? I hope you all realise I was being sarcastic? we should increase prison sentences and not cut them, bring back hard physical labour in prisons, breaking rocks ten hours a day will make the bastards think about wanting to commit a crime again.

Ah Shit

NYPD rookie makes arrest moments after graduation

NEW YORK – A New York Police Department rookie just couldn’t wait to get started.

One of the NYPD’s newest officers made his first arrest Thursday just minutes after graduating from the Police Academy in a ceremony at Madison Square Garden.

Officer Dariel Firpo, 23 , was leaving the midtown Manhattan ceremony when he saw a 79-year-old man being robbed of his wallet and thrown to the ground by a mugger, police said. [more]

♫ You see a mugging – not OK…
He thought his little wild crime had just begun
I guess you kind of scared him off, he turn and run
But you’re a recruit just turned out

Chorus:

Rookie don’t lose that mugger
You don’t wanna nab nobody else
Haul him off in a credit to your force

Chorus:

Rookie don’t lose that mugger
He’s the first arrest you’ll own
You fight losers and you’ll feel better
When you get home

I see a thug downtown, he’s just your game
You can go down busting on his skid row
You could take a desk and donuts, I don’t know
And you’re a recruit just turned out

Chorus

You tell yourself you’re just a kid
But do you know what you just did
And you’re a recruit just turned out…

Think I'm paranoid?

mangocita — Fri, 22 May 2009 20:51:55 +0000

You’d think I’m paranoid but lately I’ve been considering getting either a Swiss knife, pepper spray or Taser gun. Crime has been stalking me in the last couple of days. As you very well know, I was mugged last week. This past Tuesday night, a laptop was stolen from one of the classrooms at the Institute where I work. Another teacher and I were deceived by a robber who brazenly entered the room and asked us to leave as he had to charge the AC with some toxic gas. I’m pretty sure he must have had some “inside” help. Otherwise, how could he have known the AC was not working that night? I don’t want to make any accusations, but whatever!

Even though it was not MY laptop that was stolen, I still feel ROBBED. How could we have been so gullible? How could that guy have fooled us like that? If he was going to handle toxic gas, how come he was not wearing a mask? How come we weren’t notified of this by the Academic Office? How come I didn’t ask myself these questions then, before it was too late? My boss said it could have happened to anybody but I can’t help feeling stupid about the whole thing.

Anyways, yesterday one of my coworkers was mugged too. Two guys on a motorcycle followed him after work and stopped him while he was in his car at a traffic light and pulled a gun on him and especifically asked for his watch. His really expensive Invicta watch. This is so weird because usually those muggers on motorcycles just ask you to give them your wallet or cell. But they asked for his watch, so how on earth did they know he usually wears a fancy pricey watch? Coincidence? I don’t think so. Luckily he wasn’t wearing it that day.

So that is why I have been really paranoid lately and I have asking myself if I should get something for self-defense. I was thinking a Swiss Army knife but a really smart person advised me not to get one as it could be used against me and being as clumsy as I am, I’m sure it’s very likely to be that way. Pepper spray does not seem to be as effective as a Taser gun, but I heard those are hard to come by.

One thing is for sure, though. I am not too sure I want to continue living in Barranquilla anymore.

Brave pensioner battled mugger

paulthornton — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:51:46 +0000

By Paul Thornton

AN ELDERLY lady fought off a blade-wielding mugger after the would-be thief tried to steal a bag containing pictures of her late husband.

Brave Georgina Henderson, 66, struggled with vicious Susan Taylor after the callous thug cornered her with a Stanley knife and demanded her bag.

Mrs Henderson was knocked to the ground during the struggle and said it will be “a long time” before she is confident to go out again, but rescued the sentimental pictures.

Taylor, 28, made off after the incident drew the attention of nearby people but police later found the knife and the clothes she was wearing after scouring CCTV footage.

And on Tuesday at Edinburgh Sheriff Court Taylor admitted assault and attempted robbery.

Fiscal depute John Kirk told the court how the OAP had been walking home after doing some shopping at her local Spar in the Newhaven area of Edinburgh on April 4 this year.

Mrs Henderson was making her way home in Bathfield, Newhaven when Taylor approached her at 2.30pm and tried to mug her.

Brave

But the brave pensioner battled back in a bid to hold on to the cherished memories in her bag.

Mr Kirk said: “Mrs Henderson was approached by Taylor who presented a Stanley knife at her and demanded that she handed over her bag.

“There was a struggle for the bag during which Mrs Henderson fell to the ground.

“Mrs Henderson was not particularly worried about her shopping but had personal items in the purse including pictures of her late husband.”

Mr Kirk said that Mrs Henderson was calling out for help during the incident and a group of six or seven people had run over to assist her.

He said: “This caused Taylor to run off and two of the group ran after her.”

Although the good Samaritans caught the thief and brought back she managed to break free and made good her escape.

The group helped Mrs Henderson to her feet and called police who used their descriptions as well as CCTV to track her down.

Blade

A swift raid on her home found the blade used during the attempted robbery as well as the clothing she was wearing at the time.

Mrs Henderson later told prosecutors: “It will be a long time before I know I can go out and about with confidence and not keep looking over my shoulder.”

Sheriff Derrick McIntyre QC deferred sentence on Taylor – who was on two bail orders at the time of the attack – until May.

He remanded her in custody until then.

Girl beats back would-be muggers with marching band baton

Don’t mess with the marching band.

That’s what California authorities are saying after a 17-year-old girl used her marching band baton to beat back two would-be muggers.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Michael Rust says the Quartz Hill girl was walking to school April 24 when two men approached her from behind, tried to grab her coat and demanded money.

YEEEESSSS! Band Geeks 2 - Thugs 0

DON’T MESS WITH BAND GEEKS! Okay, really, really cool story coming out of California about a marching band chick beating up two male assailants. Here’s the full story, directly reprinted from Yahoo:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090430/ap_on_fe_st/odd_marching_band_beating

QUARTZ HILL, Calif. – Don’t mess with a marching band girl, especially one armed with a baton. A 17-year-old high school marching band student beat up two assailants who tried to mug her as she walked to school in this high desert community about 40 miles north of Los Angeles, sheriff’s officials said Tuesday.

The girl punched one of the men in the nose, kicked the other in the groin and beat both with her large baton before she ran away on Friday morning, officials said.

“The moral to this story is don’t mess with the marching band girls, or you just might get what you deserve,” said Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Michael Rust.

He said two men approached the girl from behind, grabbed her coat and demanded money. Deputies searched near Quartz Hill High School for the muggers, looking for a man who was holding his bloodied nose and the other limping.

No arrests have been made, but Rust said it appears the girl made her point to her assailants.

“Final score: Marching band 2, thugs 0,” Rust quipped.

Champions online

System Error — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 21:39:40 +0000

Every now and again a game comes along that shocks people and lives on far past the shelf life of some radioactive materials, champions online looks set to be one of those games. Now that I got that over excited statement out of my system I’ll continue, champions online does look set to be an immense game but you have to really like the genre to get swept into it. I’m not saying that Champions online is the best game out there and people will all rush to buy it like the madness of GTA IV. What I’m saying is if you like MMORPG, as well as comics, then you better start saving your pennies because your holy grail is set for release.

I’d heard rumours about champions a while ago now and figured it for a city of heroes clone but I was wrong, dead wrong. Although COH can still be seen in many aspects of the game Champions goes that little bit further to really make this a stand alone title. The game setting is a world gripped by fear and chaos, all because of the classic “bad guys”, seriously they’ve thrown everything in there.

Let me explain, when you start champions you choose your hero and when I say choose I mean you really choose everything. You choose their sex, look, powers, costume the whole deal and champions offers a massive selection. You choose height, weight literally everything to create the hero of your dreams. You choose whether or not they have powers, magic, gadgets any other hero gifts.

As well as this you can create your hero’s arch nemesis so every now and again they’ll pop up causing you havoc. Another interesting thing to note about this feature is that your nemesis will randomly generate into other hero’s missions meaning they get to share your burden too. The plus about this is you will have the chance to face some truly original, and downright weird, villains. However as I’m sure people will remember from creation sharing on spore you could also face people made to look like a huge penis, it’s stupid but it happens.

Originally there were concerns that the game was to be released on just the PC but the creators have assured everyone that the game is being released on xbox, I promise. As well as full custom creation regarding appearance, powers and even your nemesis there is another feature that champions has in the bag. It’s the enemies you face and the areas you explore. Fighting of a couple of muggers, thieves, gangs, etc is all well and good but not worthy of champions.

To help make your champion worthy of park statues you have to face, evil corporations, aliens, monsters from other dimensions and spell totting bad guys people that your run of the mill hero just can’t handle. This means as well as getting to explore your heroes world, you get to explore space and other dimensions. All this and the game is created using “live ink” giving that extra comic book feel so even if you’re character is getting their ass kicked you still can’t help to stop and think this looks just like a comic book scene. Best wait till after the fight though, so because of all these incredible features and rich detailed game world champions is definitely something to keep your eye on.

Even if you’re not that into superhero stuff but like rpg’s this is still the game for you, with so much to explore and so many adventures to be had it’s a game with hours of solid game play. I can’t say for definite when the release date for this little gem is, for xbox anyway, but the PC versions are being released on July 14 so I’d imagine the xbox versions will be close behind.

Dopey bag-snatchers only get shopping

alexanderlawrie — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:16:23 +0000

By Alexander Lawrie

POLICE are hunting a pair of dopey bag-snatchers who struck twice in the space of ten minutes – but only managed to escape with a bag full of groceries.

The thugs first struck on Sunday evening when a 60 year-old woman was approached by a man and a woman.

After trying to engage the woman in conversation the man suddenly lashed out and tried to grab the pensioner’s handbag.

After a brave struggle the callous pair were forced to flee empty-handed after the woman shouted for help.

But just ten minutes later the same pair of robbers assaulted a 39 year-old female before running of with her shopping.

The first attack happened in Edinburgh’s Manderston Street around 7.10pm on Sunday with the suspects last seen heading towards the city’s Leith Walk.

And just ten minutes later the pair then assaulted a 39 year-old woman outside the nearby Scotmid store in Leith.

This time the thieving couple made off with the woman’s shopping.

The man is described as being white, between 30-40-years-old, 5ft 5-10ins tall, of medium build. He was wearing dark clothing and spoke with an Edinburgh accent.

The woman is white, between 25-35-years-old 5ft 5-6ins tall and of slim to medium build. She had fair hair, which was tied back in a ponytail.

A police spokeswoman said: “While neither woman was seriously injured, this experience has left them both understandably shaken.

“We believe these incidents are linked, and are appealing for anyone who may have seen the man and woman in the area, or who recognises the description, to get in touch with police.”

Mugging (08:05 Thurs 29th Jan 2009)

alanspockblog — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:02:52 +0000

Today I witnessed a mugging. It was terrible, I was sat in my car and was watching as the whole thing developed, at first I thought it was a bit of a game. But suddenly everything changed this little guy was set on by two big ones, they kicked the little guy to the ground. Without considering my own safety I leapt out of my car and shouted at the bullies, the little one was motionless on the floor with the big guys standing over him, even with me watching two more kicks were given. I though the little guy was dead!

It all started when I parked up outside of school. I was early and freezing cold so I sat in the car with my engine running. On one side of the road was the school on the other a field with a small flock of sheep and a hand full of donkeys. In the centre of the field I could see rabbits chasing each other and there were also a number of chickens. My attention was taken with this menagerie, slowly in two’s and three’s the sheep made their way to the corner of the field near to the house, shortly after the donkeys began to make their way to the corner too.

Suddenly I noticed the head of one of the donkeys go down, it moved the flock of sheep like a collie dog, I was quite impressed. Again down went its head and away ran the sheep, a second donkey charged towards a sheep that was darker in colour than the rest, he become separated from the flock, as he turned and looked towards the donkey who had charged him he failed to notice the first donkey run at him and trample on him. Dazed he had no time to escape the onslaught of the pair of muggers; at this point I leapt from my car, in seconds the mugging was over.

I was shocked at the violence, the sheep lay motionless and silent, the donkeys standing over it in a very dominate manner. The flock were watching at a distance, after what seemed like a long time, I saw the sheep move, then it stood and slowly, very slowly joined the rest of the flock and together they moved away. I watched as everything again settled back to a picture of countryside bliss. I was the only witness to the mugging, my hope is that the sheep will recover from its injuries!

Wealth Redistribution Specialists

texan2driver — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 14:57:56 +0000

Under the Obama administration muggers will no longer be criminals. They will also be re-designated as “Wealth Redistribution Specialists.” Since the democrats are doing away with union secret ballot votes with their “Card Check” bill, our Wealth Redistribution Specialists will also be unionized. This will guarantee them a minimum “take” from each client (formerly “victim”). This means that each client will be required to carry the minimum amount of currency required by union rules for the city they are in, or they may face heavy fines for preventing a union employee from collecting his paycheck.

How to stop the chuggers

blackheathbugle — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 00:09:33 +0000

Here is my suggestion for a sure-fire way to reduce the number of chuggers. It is completely pain free, and might even be fun. If you’ve got a spare half hour, you could try it today.

If all of the people who disliked charity mugging (chugging) could somehow know where the chuggers were located, they could go and waste their time.

Note that I am stressing time-wasting only… The timewasters would be charming, polite, and appear to be valid punters for a good ten minutes, listening to all the patter, asking all the right questions, even filling out the forms (not with their real names), up until the signature.

At which point, the time-waster simply walks away.

This would really ruin the current economic model for chugging, as laid out eloquently in this blog post by Adam Bowie.

But how will you know where the chuggers are? Simple. Twitter.

If you don’t know what Twitter is, it’s hard to explain. It is kind of like a way to send a text message to lots of people at the same time, but on the internet, and for free. See wikipedia for more info, or watch this video.

If you look at the top right hand corner of this blog – “Where are the chuggers right now?” you should see a list of recent messages, telling you whereabouts chuggers have been spotted today. If you see any yourself, you can let me know by going to the Chuggery Twitter page at www.twitter.com/chuggery . I’ll add your spotting to the list.

If you’ve got some free time, and fancy a chat, why not head down to wherever they are. You could also donate to their charity online (not on the high street!) afterwards. Remember, be polite, and look interested!

Shottingham

nottgirl — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 09:31:07 +0000

A tongue in cheek posting about Nottingham can be found in the link below. The author, obviously a student, quotes his Media Studies Teacher as saying “Nottingham – Shottingham to be precise”

He then goes on to say that

“Recent changes in local government policy have had a dramatic effect on the city’s population. Generations of deprivation, poor educational achievement, low expectations, poor healthcare, guncrime, poverty, injustice, decades of underfunding, urban decay, social eugenics, bad planning and sheer bloody stupidity within the City’s council of Warlocks have all been righted throughout Nottinghamshite, with the introduction of PR men to ensure any bad publicity is removed or challenged post haste. Costing almost half a million pounds PA, these public propaganda machines are still cheaper than actually fixing the problems faced by Europe’s biggest Utopia, and a pittance when compared to the ‘costs’ of certain local councillors.”

I have some sympathy with this view. Although it is true that there are great things about Nottingham, our City Council’s response to any criticism of the City appears to be a default “its not as bad as other cities of the same size” or “its not as bad as the media make out”.

Even if this is true it is about time the City Council concentrated on sorting out the problems there are. This is what will really change people’s views about the City. The blogger then goes on to say

“Nottingham is a wonderful city, which attracts a lot of attention from a lot of different people:

Muggers
Rapists
Gangsters
Chavs who wish they were gangsters
Drug Dealers
Labour supporters
Prostitues and “pimps”
The Sheriff of Nottingham
Twatty students from minor English private schools.
Web-footed football fans from the Championship underbelly.
Demons that crawled out of the black hole, aka Goths.”

And he describes the Notts Anthem as

“The city of Notts, Notts, Notts. The city of Glocks, Glocks, Glocks. Every night i hear Gun shots, shots, shots,; But thats what its like when your living in Notts.”

~ Game Cartel on Nottingham

He then outlines some of the less desirable places in Nottingham.

1. “Carlton Square – Has a Bargain Booze who ignore all predudices (mainly age).
2. Nottingham City Centre (By night) – Problems include, getting drunk, having someone a nice helping of Rohypnol into your beverage, being shot, being mugged, being chased by people, being arrested for nothing (see **), being raped and, most likely, being shot. Another common problem faced by people (and tourists alike) when out on the town in Nottingham is the famous “I’m not druggie!”-man, this fellow is old crumbie tramp who proclaims that he is in fact NOT a drug addict, and he proves this by lifting his sleeves 4 inches up for half of a second. He demands money and trys to flog you a “Bigger Shoe” while he’s at it…..”When in Rome do as the Romans do…” hit im in the face.

3. Also watch out for the notable town centre rambler “Wycliff” who offers to sing you a song for money. Rumour has it he went out with Danni Minogue and got far too much crack off her. He clearly has smoked too much crack but has a lovely voice. Ask him to sing you a song about crack and Danni, its one of his best.

4. Another familiar face in Nottingham, is Ozzy the tramp with the Australian accent. He is a well travelled man, and is always asking for money to fund a fictional train ride to London, his bus trip to Derby, or his flight to Ukraine.

I am linking to these two posts again, if you have not read them yet then I suggest that you do, politely of course. Hayden’s Women Need Protecting and Joy’s post Safety tips for children. Those posts really have me thinking and before they think I am link stalking let me explain.

There are some things we take for granted, personal safety and protection is definitely one of them. Doesn’t matter if you are male or female we both do it. Through the years we learn here and there, this one says we must do that if attacked in this way. That one says we must rather do this … and so it goes on and on. The hard truth is though that when you find yourself in that dangerous situation when you NEED to remember what to do, you don’t, you forget it all. Our minds can freeze not to mention our bodies.

Some say it is paranoia that makes a person learn these things, that makes a person train in self-protection. To be honest, it is just plain stupidity not to. So here are the tips that I have kept and have used, the ones that I think work well in any situation.

The Whistle

Out of all the tips I have been given I think the one that has stuck with me at all times is the whistle. It is so small and light that you can keep it in your pocket, on a band around your arm, on a chain around your neck, anywhere you choose it can be, even in your sock (though that might be a bit uncomfortable). The sound of a whistle also travels further than any human shout, it is piercing and loud.

If you are pulled into a strange car or someone is really hassling you in close range the piercing sound of the whistle will also startle the perpetrator giving you time to try and escape. At the very least it will cause them to react via reflex and put their hands over their ears. They aren’t prepared for the noise, you are.

I feel kids and especially women should have a whistle on them at all times. Yes, I have a Spiderman one and I used to have the web launcher but that is another story for a different time and definitely not safety related.

Elbow

Not the band, though they are excellent, is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do. Seriously, there is nothing worse than an elbow in the groin (my brother says this is fact) or stomach (he got me back). Better yet is the throat, if you can reach aim there as the pain caused is far greater than the lower jewels. I am talking both male and female here.

Robbers/Robbers

If a robber/mugger asks for your wallet/purse what ever you do DO NOT hand it to them. Instead always toss it away from you… Chances are that they are more interested in your wallet/purse than you. After tossing it away from you RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

If you want to practice try softball or throwing something in the garden. Please note that should you live on third floor of building do not practice throwing something from your window.

Kidnapped

If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

Please note that it is recommended that you remove your stiletto’s should you be wearing them (yes both boys and girls).

Getting into your car

These things should be habit.

1. Be aware: Look around you, Look into your car, At the passenger side floor and in the back seat.

2. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. I know you will look like an absolute monkey climbing over the passenger’s seat but this is your life we are talking about, besides it is time you come to realise you look like a monkey anyway. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

3. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. You may feel like a paranoid fool doing this but it is your LIFE.

No I am not meaning to make you paranoid, believe it or not a lot of us do this without even thinking, it is second nature.

Parking lots

Why do you get into your car and sit there going through your slips or lists?

That is both one of the most popular and dangerous times for an attack. Women especially are susceptible to this one due to them being “easy” targets. Easy as in that is what they think, not necessarily so when you have a stiletto in your hand and aimed at the eyeball.

While you sit in your car doing what ever you do, just sitting there, the predator (not lion) will be watching you. This is the perfect opportunity for them to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head and tell you where to go.

AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

Gun to your head

DO NOT DRIVE OFF

Repeat:

DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. It is ONLY a car! Your Air Bag will save YOU. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead

Gun pointing at you

If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. Even then it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

If you must practice try doing this in the street with your arms in the air doing chicken movements. If all else fails at least the locals will know not to mess with you. You may even get gifts in the form of straight jackets!

Stairs

If you have a choice between an elevator and a flight of stairs choose the elevator without blinking an eyelid. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!

Just be careful, be alert and be safe

Create good habits that become second nature

No harm, no foul

Is IIT M Director mad?

IIT Madras director M S Ananth said that board toppers should get into IITs because they have intelligence. WHAT THE FUCK? Why do we have such people in our country’s elite institute who are gonna doom it. Even if he had cleared JEE(Those days board toppers also got admission there) then mind you, JEE is a LOT tougher nowadays. THAT MAD MAN WANTS MUGGERS TO GET INTO IIT & SCREW THE IIT BRAND-NAME. THIS MAN NEEDS AN ASYLLUM.

Everyone preparing for entrance exams knows that boards require only cramming & 0% intelligence. Memorizing doesn’t make one intelligent. Entrance exams require thorough mental reasoning & analytical ability.

OK, He’s right in saying that only those who’ve taken coaching make it to IIT. BUT WHY NOT CHANGE THE BLOODY BOARDS SYLLABUS & MAKE IT SAME AS JEE SYLLABUS? Then only 5% will pass but if it is made a lot easier than IIT-JEE, then India can have the largest pool of skilled people in the world who’ll have logic in their brains! But the brains of 99% school teachers ain’t equipped to teach JEE syllabus as they too have made their way as teachers by mugging.

JEE is the toughest exam in the world so one can’t eliminate it so easily. IIT Professors & fellow IITians will also agree with what I’m saying.

Ask BANSAL classes’ director Mr Bansal if boards are a criteria for intelligence & you’ll get a slap on your face!

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GONNA SLAM THAT MAD-MAN, this is just a beginning…..

HE MUST PUBLICALLY ANNOUNCE THAT THE BOARD-TOPPERS-IN-IIT WAS INDEED A CRAZY IDEA
