  1. What was anyone doing out in the early hours? As a pensioner I don’t even go out after dark, and always carry a “Criminal Identifier” with me at all times! These look like a small Pepper spray, but emit a jet of water soluble paint up to 3 meters. It will temporarily blind someone, and can be washed out of the eyes, they are perfectly legal, and only cost about £8.00. In the last 5 years I have had to threaten to use it 3 times, after being accosted by potential criminals in the street!

    • Pinta, you wouldn’t walk across a motorway would you, or along a railway track, because if you did you would have a good chance of getting killed! No, its common sense to take precautionary measures to avoid danger, so don’t go out alone in the dark if you can help it. Saying its my right to be able to walk where and when I like, is just tempting fate!

  2. Overall, I’m sorry you feel so frightened of our streets at nighttime.

    But how about you advise rapists to stop raping people, rather than suggesting the majority of the population up scale their defences against rapists? It is rapists, after all, who are to blame for their actions. Not rape victims.

    Plus… the article states that the victim was attacked at a property. Not on a street outside. A large proportion of rapists are known by their victims.
