Central Park Groping Solution

You've no doubt seen the report of gangs of men attacking women in Central Park.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/aponline/20000613/aponline122038_000.htm

You can read it for yourself, however, I quote the following from the article:

"It's unrealistic to assume that police officers can be everywhere at every time, at all times, particularly when they are dealing with a parade," Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said.

Said Police Commissioner Howard Safir: "If I put 10,000 cops in Central Park, we couldn't cover every single area."

Interesting! We have admission here that the police can not be everywhere at all times, particularly when they are distracted by other duties such as crowd control. It's a shame the citizens of NY are now at liberty to protect themselves.

Oh, come on there! Garfield's "Death Wish" has already explained the solution: armed vigilantes playing decoys...half-dozen dead perps ought to reduce the incidence of attacks.
 
Wrote the NY Times on their refusal to ever address the issue of whether firearms for self-defense are to be allowed in their view of America.

Also, asked about the next company picnic in the park.

Roving bands of hoodlums are stripping and assaulting women, the police admit they cannot be everywhere, and yet New Yorkers still feel afraid to trust themselves with firearms. I don't get it... Will the "wildings" have to be repeated before the issue comes to the fore front? I hope not.
 
I wonder what Rosie (put all gun owners in prison but its OK for my body guard to carries a gun in a grade school) O'donald say about this central park incident?
 
It’s incidents like this that remind me why I’m so rabidly pro-RKBA. (Incidents like this also give me extra motivation when I work out.)

I used to be far more wishy-washy about gun rights, but watching the LA Riots on TV changed that. I’ll never forget the mobs, the helpless police, the looting, or the brave Korean shopkeepers defending their stores with “assault weapons.” One Korean gentleman even testified to Congress in opposition to the so-called Crime Bill. He described defending a woman at another store using a riot shotgun and a hi-cap Nine. I don’t want to start a big immigration debate, but it’s been my experience that immigrants often appreciate this country and what it means more than the average native-born American does.

I also can’t help but think of Snyder’s famous essay “Nation of Cowards.” Why didn’t anyone DO anything to help those women? I’d rather try and fail then simply stand by while this type of thing happened. Thugs get away with evil because we, as a society, allow them to.

Will New Yorkers ever learn? I doubt it. They didn’t learn from years of rampant crime under Dinkins, and they didn’t learn after the famous “wilding” episode a few years ago. (BTW, ever see the police interrogation of the bastards who raped the Central Park jogger? The casual attitudes of these scum towards their crime was nauseating.)

Will America ever learn? I don’t want to think about it. I’m a grown man and it’s unseemly to cry in frustration.

It gets worse, the 29yr old who was attacked reported it to police officers outside the park who told her to go back in the park and report it to the Central Park Precinct.

She apparently reported it to several different levels of NYPD and got little more than a "Sucks to have that happen, eh?" response. New York Post is running the story and has it online.
 
akira, Battler,

If her physical aura is not enough to repel, she does have those body guards.

KANEDAAAAAAA!
