UK's Suggestions For Defending Yourself Against An Attacker Are Laughable
Written by Red Dawn
If
you want to see the direction progressives want to take America, just
look across the ocean. Being fundamentally different than the rest of
the world used to be something that was celebrated in American culture.
We were– and still are–exceptional.
But now the American left wants us to become more like the progressives over in the UK.
On the UK’s “Ask the Police” website– run by the Police National Legal Database– they actually encourage citizens to refrain from defending themselves from attackers. You know, they need to keep the whole “disarm the citizenry” thing up.
Here’s a question on the website: Are there any legal self defense products that I can buy?”
And this is part of the response:
“The only fully legal self defense product at the moment is a rape alarm.”
Seriously. That’s almost as asinine as the suggestions made by Colorado State Rep. Joe Salazar, who believes women using guns for self-defense on campus is totally unnecessary. I mean, that's what whistles are for! Duh.
“That’s why we have call boxes, that’s why we have safe zones, that’s why we have whistles,” he said.
Because nothing deters a rapist quite like a whistle. Speaking of which, THIS.
I’m sorry. I had to.
“Oh yeah c’mon the chances of a home intruder are SO RARE so stop worrying. If it happens we gotchoo. Call us, hide in your closet and count to 200. Maybe grab a fork or something.”
And forget about buying a taser.
Or carrying a fake toy gun. A.Fake.Toy.Gun.
I would so be arrested in the UK. I regularly carry everything they just listed. Because ‘MERICA.

And to add even more insult to human dignity, the statement cautions subjects against the use of nearly any other type of defense product, and reads like an appeal for victims to graciously suffer criminal violence. The answer makes clear “You must not get a product which is made or adapted to cause a person injury. Possession of such a product in public (and in private in specific circumstances) is against the law.” So even in the sanctity of one’s home, the statement seems to suggest that care for violent offenders outweighs the rights of potential victims to be safe and secure against attack.And it gets worse. Check out this Q&A.
