Surely pepper spray is more effective than a rape alarm?

Pepper spray would not be ideal, and anyone who has access to pepper spray should bin it. If you were to spray that on an attacker, the chances are it would blow back in your face temporarily blinding you and the potential attacker, or the attacker could get it of you before you spray it.

And of course if i'm not mistaken it's illegal to be in posession of pepperspray unless you are a copper.

So all policemen are in fact melted down 1p and 2p coins with the impurities extracted?

My mum had one out with her one night. She showed it to me, and, by playing around with it, I accidentally set it off, there were 4 or 5 people walking past who didn't take any notice. They obviously thought it was a car alarm and ignored it.

That, and if it's in the woman's hand bag, she's hardly in a position to get it if a big guy is on top of her. I usually walk my mum home if she is on a night shift. I have a black coat and if I bow my head I look hard and nasty so people stay clear :P

Do you think all metals naturally form as coins? Don't answer, it's a "yes". Son, I think you may be mentally retarded.

I sometimes get left out, but then I climb through the window.

As for rape alarms...are you saying they just emit a siren or a car-alarm-type sound?

Wots the fecking point of that? How about one that says "HELP HELP THIS CUNT IS TRYING TO RAPE THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" ?

Does the job AND is a neat party piece for when the elder-generation inlaws come round.

Nope. It says

"Excuse me. If you're not a rapist you can disregard this message, but if you are, it does rather look like you're trying to rape someone. And that's not really on, is it? And I'd like to remind you that rape is a punishable offence. Why don't you just put your trousers back on and go home, eh? You know it makes sense. This is a recorded message."

WHAT IS THE POINT IN THAT? Wouldn't it be easier to include a device that just gives said rapist an electric shock or something, or would that be classed as an 'offensive weapon' along with coathangers?

@Sput - well, corrupted policemen are formed from impure copper ore.
