Recently on
the Fox news network, one of the stories was about a crime
wave in Washington DC. What's new you ask? Washington DC has
a history of crime waves. These statistics are particularly
startling when you consider that Washington DC has so many
different levels of police. In the first twelve days of July
14 people have been killed and in the last 30 days robberies
are up 14% and armed assaults are up 18%.

The crime wave comes at the height of the tourist season
in our nation's capitol. This is the third such crime
emergency in the last four years. Tax paying, law abiding
citizens are prohibited by city law from carrying lethal
weapons to defend themselves because of a thirty year
old ban on guns in Washington DC. Apparently only criminals
can have guns. Does this show how effective such bans
are?
Then came a story of two thugs terrorizing the city of
Phoenix. One is called the "Baseline Rapist" because
he hangs out in the southern part of Phoenix near Baseline
Rd. He started his spree in August of 2005. He is believed
to be responsible for 6 murders, and many robberies and
sexual assaults. The other "Serial Shooter" has
at least 5 murders. Sixteen of his victims have survived
since he started his spree in May 2005.
Both killers have put the city in a state of terror.
Citizens are rightfully afraid to go out alone after dark.
Fear and paranoia are rampant.
Phoenix police are frustrated because after all this time
and so many victims they don't have a good description-so
they are looking for two people in a city of three plus
million.
There is only so much the police can do and they are
stretched thin as it is. Citizens across the country would
be well advised to start taking more responsibility for
their own self defense. They should investigate carrying
some form of non lethal self defense weapon such as a stun
gun or pepper spray. Personal alarms such as sirens and
whistles act as a good deterrent too
Self defense is called that because the responsibility for
defending yourself lies with the individual. Police do a
wonderful job but cannot be everywhere. |
