Quote of the day
On the ridiculous advice on how to survive a sexual assault provided by the Illinois state police, Exador says in comments at Aunt B.’s:
If you are in need of any of the recomended items:
* nail file
* rat tail comb
* teasing brush
* pens and pencils
* keys
* anything rigidYou may get one from an Illinois State trooper; they carry them in their holsters.
Heh.

Now wait a minute, I have seen the statistics for “% injured during a crime” and people who fight back without guns are *more* likely to get injured. In fact, anything except blind acceptance (in this case, laying back with your legs open) will increase your chances of injury– unless you are resisting with a gun, in which case your % injured is cut in half.
…So are the Ill troopers encouraging a behavior which will get more people hurt? An interesting angle that someone with political hair on their chest maybe could develop.
