Non-Lethal Personal Protection Against St. Louis Teenage Hoodlums

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

It’s been reported by local media that 72 year old Hoang Nguyen and his 59 year old wife were surrounded and attacked by four African-American teenagers for thrills resulting in the death of the elderly man.  Nearby surveillance cameras show that robbery was not the reason for the violent and vicious attack of this immigrant couple walking home from the grocery store at 10:45 am Saturday morning.

This senseless attack by teenage thugs is another reminder why St. Louis is considered the most dangerous city in America.  Non-Lethal personal protection such as pepper spray is a necessity for self defense against roaming packs of teenage hoodlums looking to victimize innocent defenseless St. Louis residents enjoying an evening at the Delmar Loop or walking home from a local market.

Non-Lethal Personal Protection will instantly stop an attacker without causing any permanent damage but allow the intended victim time to escape and contact police.  Urban crime is real in the most dangerous city in America and St. Louis police can’t be everywhere.

Non-Lethal Personal Protection is being considered more and more as an effective means of self-defense against teenage hoodlums and other street crime.

US News & World Report Says St. Louis Most Dangerous City in America

Saturday, February 19th, 2011

US News & World Report acknowledges crime rates in the United States have dropped in the past two decades but violent crime remains an alarming problem in some of the largest urban areas. St. Louis, MO has a  crime rate that is more than quadruple the national figure. Residents of St. Louis City, North County and students attending urban universities are continuously victimized by street thugs. It’s a must for anyone walking the streets these days, carry some form of  personal protection such as Wildfire pepper spray or Taser C2 as self defense against an attacker.

An analysis of FBI data shows which cities in the United States have the highest overall incidence of crime, relative to the national rate. The analysis of FBI data was performed by Onboard Informatics from FBI crime reporting data of the most recent seven years. This data includes property crime, such as burglary and motor vehicle theft, as well as violent crime. An index score of 100 is equal to the national crime rate, meaning that St. Louis, for example, with a an index of 530, has a crime rate more than quadruple the national average, scary!

Downtown St Louis Living

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Crime is real in most urban communities and St. Louis, MO has been plagued in recent months and the past school year with rapes on or near SLU and Washington University St Louis, MO campuses. Overnight car break-ins of vehicles parked on city streets of CWE, South City, Soulard and parking garages of the county have been a frequent occurrence all of which were reported by local news media so more detailed facts available online. Random shootings in downtown St Louis and surrounding neighborhoods of the city is a significant problem that’s out of control. When traveling throughout the city and shopping at retail stores, please use common sense and not leave packages or valuables visible in your vehicle. Downtown St Louis living requires residents to be vigilant about personal safety and always be aware of surroundings. Some residents of the renovated areas of downtown such as Washington Ave, Locust and Lafayette Park carry non-lethal self defense products such as the Taser C2 for added peace of mind against an attack.

Defend Yourself with the Stun Master Pen 1.2M Volt Rechargeable Stun Gun

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

It’s a must for anyone especially women attending college to always carry non-lethal personal protection such as a Stun Master pen stun gun with 1.2 million volts of electricity and it’s rechargeable so there are no concerns about having to buy batteries. stun guns are designed to give you the protection you need when being attacked. Stun guns such as the Stun Master Pen 1.2 Million Volt Rechargeable Stun Gun are one of the most effective and efficient non-lethal personal protection available on the market today that can be purchased inexpensively online. A stun gun is a non-lethal self defense weapon that uses electricity to temporarily incapacitate the attacker. When applied to an attackers body, it works by disrupting the brains communication by sending various signals all at the same time. It makes the muscles work rapidly resulting in loss of energy and confusion which immobilizes the assailant for about 10-15 minutes allowing you time to safely escape and contact law enforcement. Because this device uses the high voltage low amperage technology, there is no permanent damage to the attacker and he’ll fully recover.
Again, stun guns work on high voltage low amperage technology. High voltage is not harmful but the amps are. Just one amp can kill a person however most stun guns only have 3 milliamps and is the reason why there is no permanent damage to the attackers body.  Also, there is no danger to you. The electricity from the stun gun is dumped into your assailants body and dissipates into his muscles. So you will not be electrified even if he grabs onto you or is touching your body. Even if standing in water, you will not be electrocuted. Crimes such as rape, sexual assault and robbery are rampant on and off college or university campuses. In my own urban community of St. Louis, MO  there have been numerous violent attacks upon students at UMSL, Washington University St. Louis, MO and SLU the past 12 months. Of course campus authorities don’t always tell the full truth about crime on and off campus. Especially, off-campus in the sketchy areas or fringes surrounding the campuses filled with predators salivating at the new freshman class of young women nearby. The best thing parents can do is take matters into their own hands and give your daughter or loved one a fighting chance and possibility of escape by providing her with a Stun Master pen 1.2 million volt rechargeable stun gun with built-in flashlight for self defense against any thug that dares to attack her.

No Excuse for College Students Not to Carry Pepper Spray

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

It’s inexpensive, effective, legal and easy to use. Owning self defense products is like having car insurance. In a life threatening situation, it’s better to have pepper spray if needed. Than to need it and not have it. Most assaults take place suddenly and unexpectedly, and it can happen to anyone. Especially, an unprepared naive female college student. Wildfire pepper spray is an effective non-lethal personal protection product designed as a key chain or comes with holster clip for a belt. Carry this key chain pepper spray with you always, so that any attacker can be put down immediately; even if the thug is much bigger and more powerful than you.
If you never seen anyone get sprayed with Wildfire Pepper Spray, you’ll be amazed how quickly a large 250lb man will go down and stay down. The effects of a good blast from the dispenser are instantaneous and will incapacitate anyone for as long as 45 minutes, leaving no permanent damage and allowing you the time needed to escape and contact the police. Wildfire Pepper Spray contains an invisible UV Dye which is very helpful when making positive identification of the suspected attacker.

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

At the time of this writing there has been another attack on a wustl student in our urban community. She was sexually assaulted and robbed after being grabbed from behind around 1:00AM on Monday while walking in her neighborhood near the Washington University campus in St. Louis, Mo. The attacker used a knife as his weapon to control the victim , as he raped her between two buildings. From what’s been reported, the student survived the attack and was treated at a nearby hospital. But I can’t stop wondering if non-lethal personal protection products such as: Wildfire pepper spray, Pretender cell phone stun gun or Taser would have prevented this attack resulting in a totally different outcome. Allowing the victim time to escape and report the crime to law enforcement.

Defending Yourself Against Street Thugs

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Our urban community is a dangerous treacherous place today. I find it distressing that with all the robberies, assaults, home intrusions, rapes, etc. Most people don’t think about personal protection until after they or someone they know is victimized by a desperate street thug. During an assault or rape it is very unlikely that anyone, even the police, can come to your rescue fast enough. That is why it is so important to carry at least a non-lethal self defense weapon to protect yourself an assist in your escape. There are many inexpensive non-lethal personal protection products available, that will save your life if ever needed. Wildfire pepper spray, Retractable steel baton and the Pretender 4.5 Million Volt cell phone stun gun are very effective at stopping an attacker in his tracks.

The only one you can rely on in an attack is YOU! So you’re taking Krav Maga self defense classes so you can effectively defend yourself if attacked. After class one night you decide to pick up a few groceries. As you close your trunk in the parking lot of the store, a man grabs you from behind. Your self defense training instinctively kick-in and your fighting for your life and doing damage to this thug. But his size and brute strength are too much. No worries thou, the non-lethal Pretender 4.5 Million Volt cell phone stun gun you’re carrying is the equalizer needed to put down this thug and escape.

Trust No One!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

The college experience can be a great adventure or terrible nightmare when things go bad and you’ve become a victim and an entry in the FBI crime statistics. We follow media reports about young women being attacked and sexually assaulted on college campuses. But how many sexual assaults go unreported that are considered date rape? Only because the victim feels a sense of shame or embarrassment when she in fact did nothing wrong…trusted the wrong person is all! I recommend every female student protect themselves and carry a key chain non-lethal Wildfire pepper spray for when he won’t accept “NO” for an answer!

Spring Is Here, Don’t Invite Yourself to Be Victimized!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Always be aware of surroundings when parking car and remove visible electronics such as; laptops, ipods, mp3 players and GPS devices. It may seem like common sense but I’m always amazed what I can see inside neighbors vehicles that are parked next to me on the street. Criminals are desperate for quick cash and leaving these type items visible is just asking to be a Smash-n-Grab for criminals. And students, please don’t walk the campus or near by park areas at night with your music blasting through the ear-buds of your Ipod or MP3. Your just asking to be mugged or worse. Finally, when living in an urban area. It’s always a good idea to carry non-lethal personal protection such as a Pretender 4.5 Million Volt cell phone stun gun or Taser.
