Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
This woman had a near death experience in a parking lot. You will never believe how she managed to survive!
You have a point. And, jokes aside, I did find viewing the video traumatic, but because of the incredibly hysterical energy the woman was putting out.
Thankfully, crime has not be a very big part of my life, but to folks for who crime is a factor of daily life, yeah.
But here's the thing. If the guy was attempting to help her out (maybe she dropped something, etc) the response is like a kick in the teeth. But if the guy was a creep with inappropriate intentions, then yeah.
My daughter - who is a very slight build, does reality based self defense. I suspect she might approve of the woman's response, but its pretty hard to say whether the woman's reaction is warranted or not.
If such a thing happened anywhere near where I live, the woman would probably be a candidate for a psych evaluation.
There's a lot about the situation that we don't and cannot know.
Bottom line: Humans preying on humans screws the whole world up. Enough already.
Wow. That was traumatic, just listening to her ordeal. I'm amazed she pulled through. I'm shaken, really. My confidence in humanity has plummeted today. And to think. The culprit still walks the streets. Blimey.
Jokes apart, I like to idly imagine what would have happened if he was actually a malicious guy and she used her loudest voice to say “dont come near me”
I think they are actually trying to get women killed :(
I didn't think of that. Better to get a nice compact khar pistol and get some serious training in how to use it.
