I just want to share some safety tips Ive learned over the years. I walk home alone all the time from 2 in the morning to 5 in the morning. I reside on Townsend and Bremen. Ive never been robbed or violated in our neighborhood before. I believe these tips can save some lives. 1. The middle of the street is a great place to walk. Its well lit and traffic notices a person in the street. Someone attempting to attack likes dark areas. 2. I know the alley is a great short cut but its not. 3. Keep your electronics hidden. I know its awkward walking past somebody but pulling out your phone to avoid eye contact just shows someone what you own. 4. If someone is holding a gun in their pants they will walk with a limp. A limp with their hands on their belt or rim of pants. Dont run! Read tip number 5. 5. EYE CONTACT. To this day I still believe a smile and eye contact saved my life many of times. People can smell fear. 6. If you have no other options yell. Its riverwest. I would love to believe that if I was getting attacked I could run up to somebodys door for help. Hopefully I helped. Lets reduce the crime as one. If Im missing something please comment. Any tips help!
