the victim from being assaulted? Yet, we, in this state, make it difficult for people to defend themselves against assaults, encourage victims to be passive, dial 911 if you have a phone, and hope for the best? If you use some 'weapon' to legitimately defend yourself, you can be charged with a crime?

Not sure what weapon you had in mind, but using one may be ill-advised.

I'm confident I am far more familiar with subways and public transit, in Boston, NYC and elsewhere, than you. I use them here in Boston 5-6 days a week going to/from work, at various hours throughout the day, sometimes AM, sometimes early PM, sometimes late evening, or early AM. I use the red, green and orange lines, depending which route I think is best to get to or from work and home. I sometimes park a car at a commuter rail and hop on one of those. I am VERY familiar with public transportation having grown up in NYC and Boston (the cities, not outlying suburbs. I grew up so-called working class. In addition, lived in Los Angeles and D.C. for periods of time, and traveled extensively.

From reading your posts, I gather you come from rural Pacific Northwest and live in Medford? The northwest is very beautiful BTW, I love that part of the country. However, I fail to see how it makes you any expert on big city public transit and subways, or what it's like to have been actually raised in an environment very different from rural America.

I've lived or worked in Boston proper for nearly as many. I may very well have spent more days using the T than you have had days.

I have also trained enough with such "weapons" that I know that pepper spray and its ilk are a very bad idea in enclosed spaces.

Sorry you didn't pick that up in your rather obsessive strangeness.

Maybe that's why your title line is "miss". Yep. You did.

And umbrellas. And bike locks.

In urban martial arts. If not, I'm sure she met one at band camp one day.

That said - not sure what weapons you want people brandishing in the T. Probably can't stop a decent hunting knife - but personally I don't want to be collateral damage in somebody pulling out pepper spray or worse. And best of luck taking on three people at once in any fight.

THAT from the person who advocated here using her u-lock on the head of a man who she claimed was driving in the bike lane. God help is all.

Put up or stfu. I'm tired of your bulshit attacks. Prove it.

I have only pulled a u-lock a few times, each time when directly threatened with physical violence because I dared be out on a bike.

Sorry if that makes you afraid that someday a small female you threaten with violence is going to take one to your head and rob you of both consciousness and the raw feeling of power that bullies crave.

In the meantime, you are more than welcome to try pepper spray in your own closet. Or pull a knife or other weapon during a three-on-one beatdown. It will save us all alot of trouble.

Gee, who said anyone was referring to you, my swirly little pal? Sounds like an admission of guilt, to me. I think your paranoia is workin overtime, grrl. It's funny that you're calling me a bully, when you're the one who goes around name-calling and threatening physical violence on me and many others - usually anyone who dares to call you on one of your almost daily laughable little lies. I would say all the thumbs-up my comment received is all the proof anyone may need.

You replied directly to her comment.

Shouldn't you be on 4Chan threatening smart women with hate raping or something?

Disagreeing with someone and calling them on their lies and BS is not misogyny, my dear. And how you turned that into threatening her and hate raping (which isn't even a thing) is beyond me. You're as paranoid and deluded as that other loony tune.

...that the use of pepper spray on an assailant will cause some blow back on the person defending themselves. But it's no where near as painful as the person on the receiving end. I've been sprayed directly in the eyes from six feet away and had to subdue an attacker who was kicking the shit out of me (work related training to be able to carry OC spray). I'd still recommend pepper spray to anyone wanting a non-lethal, easy to use means of personal defense. Unless they are a wimp and can't handdle their eyes burning a little.

Confined space use is a bad idea for most devices. Now that it is legal, I wonder how many people have bothered to read the package insert and safety information?

...but that's when someone like me would be most likely to use it. Ever been on the lower decks of a suspected drug boat and someone gets squirrelly? That's pretty much the definition of a "confined space". And getting a minor hit of OC in a confined space is better than killing someone.

A few days ago you and your fellow condescending, elitist, "activist" posters got me all riled up after you started engaging in "bullshit attacks". Sucks when you're on the receiving end, huh.

Some little jackshit who never had to pick produce for college money and never had to stuff fucking newspapers in the wall of his trailer to stay warm plays the "elitism" card.

If these three losers jumped you, trying to use any weapon would be just asking to have it used on you. Not that being "passive" is the answer, but if you pull a knife, you'd better bet that they'd be pissed and you'd be dead.

You should probably move to Georgia.

The three are described as being in their "early to mid-20s". Shouldn't they have passed out of this phase by now? The extended adolescence thing is getting ridiculous.

My late boomer/early gen-x husband had a bunch of friends who never travelled, never left home, and acted like perpetual adolescents in some permanent high-school world until they finally moved out of their parent's house in their mid-20s.

For gen-x, this was driven by the economy crashing in the late 70s/early 80s. If it is now a millennial thing, it may be due to the fact that young people are living at home longer because wages have not kept pace with housing costs.

People who went far away to college or in the military all know people our own age who did the same thing - stayed where they graduated high school, lived with parents, and took a while to grow up. This is just a much larger generation.

Did they turn into model citizens as they got older? Or did their adolescent hijinks just translate into adult hijinks? I can envision a linear transformation from adolescent punk (fighting, bullying, etc) to irresponsible adult pretty easily.

My limited anecdata from my own life indicates that most do become at least responsible citizens, but most people I know weren't beating people up for fun in their 20s. They lived at home and eventually got a job, started chafing over house rules, and moved out on their own and found better things to do than hanging around stealing stuff from cars and defacing stop signs.

Some of it has to do with "drugs involved yes/no", "petty stupidity or violent stupidity" and "how much does their family tolerate bullshit?". If someone can't shake the drugs, gets into violent trouble, and their family blocks for them, well, not a good future.

We have a family friend who was in the same graduating class as my much older brother-in-law. BIL was totally shocked that friend had grown up and gotten his act together over time. BIL's brother and friend's brother have never made that leap and have been in and out of jail and still act like idiots, to the point where I swear they must be the same person. Friend has suggested buying them both a boat.

How about they be normal, decent human beings and never enter this "phase" to begin with? How's that sound? Not trying to attack you, but the "passed out of this phase" language bothered me. This is never acceptable behavior. We should not allow people the out of "I was only 14 and I was a follower."

Also, how many people are a-holes in their early to mid-20s and then grow out of it? Not many in my experience.

They are obviously aware that they have been captured on some kind of surveillance camera. They are even posing for it. Yet they commit a heinous crime anyway. Not too bright.

Maybe the victim's own phone. Surveillance cameras usually are mounted in the ceiling.
