It is amazing the very few who think the man did something very bad to the three that attacked him. Somehow being prepared for the worst and hoping for the best is equated with provoking violence.<br /><br />It all comes down to two things - choices, and consequences.<br /><br />This problem with group attacks on solitary walkers, runners and bicyclists is not unique to Reading, Pennsylvania:<br /><br />http://www2.tbo.com/news/breaking-news/2012/jan/26/popular-trail-has-some-running-scared-ar-351511/<br /><br />The Hillsborough County Sheriff Office has implemented a bicycle mounted patrol of the trail and the adjacent neighborhoods, which is ironic, since the Sheriff’s station for Northwest Hillsborough County on Gunn Highway fronts on the trail south of Ehrlich Road:<br /><br />http://www.hcso.tampa.fl.us/Articles/Articles/Pedal-Power-Patrol.aspx<br /><br />Double irony - they ride in pairs, but are uniformed and armed, on bikes with lights and sirens.<br /><br />Users of the Upper Tampa Bay Trail can also be armed. It is unfortunate that the news story does not mention this as a solution.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596231821271459872.post-65651549460495786922012-01-26T21:14:36.989-05:002012-01-26T21:14:36.989-05:00I&#39;m sure the delinquent would have grown up to be an outstanding citizen... cough, cough...<br /><br />Dann in OhioGod, Gals, Guns, Grubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18289354729286002247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596231821271459872.post-88960260434142071992012-01-26T21:05:54.329-05:002012-01-26T21:05:54.329-05:00Good for him!
