Whats the best weapon to carry?

Situational awareness is the best of course. You can pick out 90% of violent or dangerous types from 100 yards or more. Avoiding them entirely is best but at least be aware. The other 10% takes a bit more awareness to pick out. Generally, they take up or "claim" more space than a normal person, they might stand in a doorway not caring or intentionally impeding the flow of people. Pacing or moving around a lot or waving their arms a lot is an indicator of someone "claiming territory". You can drastically reduce your chances of becoming an unwitting victim of violent crime.

 

whats funny is one can use the word doofus that perfecty fine when I used the word "G a lah " which is actually a pretty pink parrot that is found only in Australia I had my post removed so not sure of the meaning of doofus but Galah can be aussie slang meaning a person that is silly or has done something stupid.
