A Florida woman saved herself from being raped after she pulled a razor from her bra and slashed her attacker’s throat. ​

According to the woman, Kenneth Taylor approached her from a store and the two began to chat. As they walked toward an empty lot, Taylor reportedly pushed the woman to the ground and hit her several times in the face.

Luckily, the woman managed to pull a razor from her bra and slice Taylor’s throat. When Taylor fled from the scene, the woman called police to the intersection of North 13th Street and Avenue G in Fort Pierce.

Taylor left a backpack at the scene, which contained a Taco Bell cap that led police to a local Taco Bell restaurant. After police talked with the store’s manager and described Taylor, the manager helped identify the attacker.

Taylor was later arrested. He was charged with kidnapping and unlawful detention.

My mother used to carry a five inch hat pin for safety. I carry something a bit larger. Neither she nor I, nor the lady in the article was interesting in being a victim. What’s wrong with that? Waiting on Jones or Smith to come along and save you is a sure trip to the graveyard no matte what ethnicity you are.

No problemo with self protection of whatever kind works (you and your mom sound like my great aunt, a very proper lady with English heritage, when I was growing up, she carried the longest hat pin actually stuck in her hat and wasn't afraid to use it if necessary.)

Most of my lady friends who count on self protect, use a small pistol.
