Surfing the blogs, one occasionally stumbles across links that after 2-3 clickthroughs...lead to an actual interesting tale. Such is the tale of Spyrit & B, and their Sunday night adventures with an over-frisky drunk.
Seems they live in a relatively tranquil area of a Massachusetts college town, opened the door on a drunk knocking, who rapidly proceeded to become a home intruder that required high velocity ejection with impact therapy enthusiastically applied.
Methinks the first error is opening the door on an unknown at 0230 (particularly when unknown is obviously hammered); my second observation is, in the wide range of available defensive tools in even in the Cesspool of Nanny-hood that is Massachusetts, a rubber mallet is substantially less than ideal.
My final observations is that this blog really exposes the mindset of a lot of people, folks that those of us with a more pro-active bent seldom hang out with, that simply don't even have personal safety or self-defense contained anywhere in their world view - until things have gone thoroughly to pot, and often not even then.
Doesn't make them bad folk, but I'd suggest that world view is worth examining, if only so we may better understand where many of our opponents are coming from - not so much a place of malice, as a place of complete and absolute ignorance on a specific range of topics.
Take a look, leave a comment if you like - I'm not planning on giving them a place in my linky-love column, but in passing...it's an illuminating read if you've not run into that before, and a worthwhile trip down memory lane on how innocence and obliviousness can do every bit as much damage as malice and scheming.
