I feel compelled to say something..

Posted 10-29-2009 at 02:45 AM by kafrun
This is just a little personal, but I was assaulted and almost raped tonight by a guy who followed me into the lobby of my new building. I always try to be aware of my surroundings, but this just shows that you can never be too careful.

I was just driven home by the police and am in shock. Don't know what else to say. Please be careful.

    I have no words of wisdom. Just glad you are (relatively) safe.

    Oh my god, hon, I didn't read about this until now. I'm so glad you're okay. Sending a million hugs your way.

    Can you maybe have a friend come over and stay with you for a day or so, until you feel a bit less freaked out?

    Love ya oodles.

    After Mia was harassed by that bum in TO, i talked to her and Cari about all of us getting stun guns. I'm definitely getting one since i'm working nights again and have to walk home from work (not the best area) after 10-11pm...

    I like these because you can strap them to your wrist and they look like flashlights:

    Streetwise 800,000 Volt Lighting Rod Stun Pen Product Demonstration

    Stun Gun Flashlight, Alarm Flashlights, Self Defense Non-Lethal Weapons - Safety Gear HQ

    Cheetah and Lightning Rod 950,000 and 800,000 Volt Stun Pens - Safety Gear HQ

    Talon Mini Stun Gun - Safety Gear HQ

    I also decided to consider changing my mind about applying for citizenship, which i didn't want to do at first because of all the aggravation the immigration put me through to renew my green card. Anyway, if being a citizen will give me the right to apply for a concealed gun permit, i'm all for it!

    Edit: Actually, i just checked the laws in CT and i don't need to be a citizen to apply, but they have a "may issue" policy, so they can deny anyone they don't like... It's worth a try anyway, i'll talk to my cop friend about it...

    Kelly, I want to look into that. I'll do what I can to stay safe. In the meantime, all the people checking in on me and helping me through this are amazing. I really do appreciate it, again.

    Kaf, I'm so sorry. How horrible. I'm so glad you're ok and things worked out the way they did. Try to relax and do what you need to do to feel better. Again, I'm so relieved nothing worse happened.

    Wow. I'm glad nothing worse happened to you. Hopefully, they catch the bastard who did this to you. Remember the old adage: What doesn't kill you, will make sure stronger.

    I don't know if they'll catch this guy, but here's hoping. He'll only keep doing it again and again. Ugh. Thankyou for the words of support
