Danish teen fought off her attacker - now she'll face fine

249. The tool is relevant because it demonstrates that some self-proclaimed liberals

are not just against the carrying of firearms, but ANY means of )self-defense, no matter how marginal or non-lethal, if not the right to self-defense itself, and therefore whether intentionally or implicitly, support or tacitly encourage or excuse violence against women.

If the tool used by the young woman in the OP was a firearm, it would indeed be an appropriate discussion for the firearm forums, precisely because one of the primary reasons most Democrats here support the right to keep and bear arms is because of our inherent right to self-defense and the appropriate means to do so. This particular discussion in GD certainly expanded and expounded upon the issue. Although the opinions of some apparently defending the total disarmament of women and prosecution of the young attempted rape victim truly shocked and saddened me, I do take solace in the fact that some DU members who oppose firearms still recognize that the law at issue and the prosecution in the OP are patently absurd and morally wrong.

The story also deals with the issue of decreased safety and increased criminality allegedly experienced due to the rapid influx of refugees and minority immigrants to Europe (the woman's attacker was "dark skinned&quot and the reaction of voters to the liberal policies and governments who allowed it. This aspect of OP would have little direct relevance to the firearm forum regardless of the choice of self-defense tool.
