Your post has been read and appreciated by this 68-year-old man in Western New York. Arthritis has left me in no condition to defend myself from a physical assault. I’m able to drive anywhere I need to go and I have a tag that entitles me to park in a handicap spot near my destination. I do keep a fire iron tucked under the dash on the passenger side. It’s about 60cm long and very heavy with a pair of nasty hooks on the end. It’s hard to see but very easy to reach. I pray that I never have to use it. Your article is full of good advice for any person who needs to walk or use public transportation. The video—I skipped that over because I knew it would upset me. But I read the text with fascination and a little apprehension because I feared that you might be going to recount some horrible thing that happened to you. I’m glad that was not the case. Be strong, stay safe, be well. I’ll Restack this article with the highest recommendation and I hope lots of people read and take it to heart!
Rafael, thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment. I’m really touched by what you wrote. By the way, I’m sorry I haven’t had the chance to read the post you shared with me yet, but I will soon.
I admire the way you prepare yourself and your honesty in sharing it here. I truly hope you’ll never have to use that fire iron, but the resilience and strength you carry really comes through.
It means a lot that my piece resonated with you. Thank you for taking the time to write and for your encouragement. Stay safe and well.
