If I work late at office, I make sure security walks me to my car. If I am with friends, I make sure that they escort me to my car and then I drive them to their cars, I walk in public well lit areas and I am nowadays also carrying an airtag in my purse. People used to laugh at me "What are you scared of?" Well, have you seen Hollywood movies? If something bad has to happen, I will be the first to die because of my skin color, gender and accent. No thank you. Besides, every day, we find out how unsafe this society is.

Yes, being careful is not going to make you immune from all dangers. However, statistically, you have a better chance of not being a victim of a crime if you are careful about your person and if you don't put yourself in a dangerous situation.

No disrespect but what is an AirTag going to do? Help police find your cold body faster? It sounds like she was killed in 4 minutes. This gal shouldn’t have been running alone. And if she forced the issue, she needed to do it with a baby Glock in a fanny pack and a German shepherd or Doberman pincher.

In the first place - I do not put myself in dangerous situations like walking or jogging alone in a trail, secluded place or being alone outside late at night. Any woman who did that from where I came from would become a victim so I don't take unnecessary risk just because I am in the USA. It is not like this country is not dangerous also with all the drugs, guns, violence, desperation, poor policing, corrupton and racism.

What would an airtag do? Well, if ever my purse is snatched or I am abducted, I have a piece of tech on me to get tracked, .So it is another tool in my safety.

The history of crime against women has been such that the BF or DH is always the first suspect, even when a rich woman jogging alone in the dark in a crime ridden city gets kidnapped.

Others need to learn from this. There is zero reason to put yourself in that situation. She may have been a marathon runner but she was also a mother. She should have been more careful and been proactive about her security.

As a childless woman, my life is less valuable so I can run wherever I want.

Childless and unmarried? Yea, you can be self-centered and risky if you want — and pretend you can’t just rack miles on a treadmill or on a fitness center track.

There is nothing preventing them from training indoors.

More women will die because they are not careful and take common sense precautions. They stupidly think that the onus of their safety lies on men behaving properly and criminals following law. They are idiots.

Many years ago, my DD was in middle school and the PE requirement was that she changed into her PE uniform or her grades would be docked. The girls locker rooms were in a open area with no doors. I gave her a mens XXXL t-shirt to put over her head and change underneath the t-shirt as a tent. Other parents found this insistence on modest a bit weird (as we are immigrants), and then we found out that the janitor was recording the girls on his phone. Yes, another pedo pervert at MCPS. Parents were distraught. Why? What did you expect? There were young preteen girls shedding their clothes and an opportunity and you trust ALL the male teachers, male students and other staff to be good humans?

Men who are rapists, perverts and criminals are found all over the world, so are we expecting USA to be a land of the well behaved? No. We will have the same numbers of criminals here and perhaps more because no one gets hanged for raping in this country. The laws are not strict enough to make people with criminal tendencies behave in this country.

Can we just refer to her as a woman or a human being? This isn’t terrible because she’s young or a mother.

She is a young mom and she has young kids who have lost their mother. This compounds the tragedy.

Yep.

People blame the victim and say the crime could have been prevented if they had taken various steps, because they they can tell themselves, "I will never be randomly attacked because I don't run early in the morning." Just like when a woman is attacked in the evening in a parking lot, they say, "I will never be attacked because I don't go to that mall or wear an outfit like that, etc. etc."

Statistically, women are far more likely to be sexually assaulted and murdered by a person known to them--a partner, family member, or friend--than by a random attacked. But by focus on stranger attacks and the choices a woman could make to prevent that attack, people can feel safer. A woman can choose to wear long skirts and sleeves and refuse to go out without a male chaperone, and still end up attacked.

Women make varying choices about their activity and the choices they make do not cause them to deserve death.[/quote

Sure, anything can happen to anyone at any time. But are you trying to say a woman alone on the streets, in the wee hours of dark night/morning, in a high crime area is not more at risk than say, a woman out shopping at 3pm with her family in Bethesda?

You live in a denial bubble. I was kidnapped + assaulted by 2 dudes in broad daylight by strangers walking down a busy street. No one stopped to help. Stop blaming the victim. You are gross.

Can you do an AMA if you're up for it?

You may ask here. I won't start a separate thread because it may be triggering to see the title for those who have had similar experiences.

I'm so sorry. Where did this happen? Were you able to call out and no one helped you? How did you escape? Again I'm so sorry and glad you're safe now.

Well, I happen to think it IS a particularly terrible thing when young children lose their mom. I will continue to hold that opinion. Doesn't mean I wouldnt feel sad about anyone being murdered.
