Today, my supervisor e-mailed everyone who works in this area and she told us she would make arrangements to get a ride if we needed it. I did because I live right at Gates Circle. This is making me very scared right now. |

I admit...I'd be nervous too...
Don't walk anywhere alone...especially at night....like Audrey said...be very aware of your surroundings... when you pull into your driveway at home...look around and then jump out of the car and run fast as hell to your door and bolt it behind you.....if anyone is home call them right before you pull up and they can open the door for you....carry teargas.....it does work if you get it into the criminals eyes but you have to have good aim... and gives you time to escape BE CAREFUL!!!

One of my coworkers drove me home tonight and she told me that she'll drive me home when I work nights. Tomorrow, I work during the day, so it should be fairly safe. I think the guy who was attacking women gave himself up, but I'm not sure. I'll have to catch the news later on. I hope so. |

I've just seen this Molly, and I can only echo the sentiments of everyone else - be very careful. |

The local news stations have been filming by my apartment building. It's really creepy that some jerk is targetting women. You think it's safe in the area when you find out it's not. I mean, my neighborhood is in the "rich" part of town with a lot of really nice houses and mansions. It's an area that you could let your kids outside without worrying too much. It takes some creep to ruin it for people. I'm so happy to live in a secure apartment building. We have electronic locks for the front and side enterences and you have to slide an electronic key in a little area to get in. |

I used to live in an area that had the Hillside Strangler, here is a synopsis of what they were accused of doing
Hillside Strangler These two had the whole City on edge. One of the victims was abducted just a few blocks from where I live. Friends of mine live in Eagle Rock, just a few blocks from another victim. All women were told to keep their doors locked and to not go near any strangers unless you were not alone. Just recently there was a case in a pretty safe neighborhood where a man hacked to death a young boy aged 6. That happened in broad daylight on the common grounds of his apt. This apartment building is right next to a good friend's apartment building. Fortunately the man who killed the young boy was caught at the scene by tenants of the building and held until the police arrived. Unfortunately we live at a time where a person's life and belongings have little to no meaning to others. We do have to be cautious of our surroundings at all times. The hillside strangling case made me take up a women's self defense class and it helped me get over the fear a bit by knowing that I knew how to bring a man down to his knees and still be able to get away. At least that was the theory. I don't believe in guns but I do believe in self-defense. Molly I hope they caught this rat and know that you can help yourself mentally and physically by taking up a self-defense class or at least learn some techniques on what to do. Listen to what the police say and do it. And one more thing. Don't rely on the 'secured building' thing. There really is no such thing. Where there is a will there is always a way. |
