    Pepper Spray.

    Pepper Spray Success Stories
    If you’re a gentle-natured woman, it might be difficult to imagine using pepper spray to temporarily cause harm to an attacker in the event of an emergency. Carrying pepper spray can be essential for your personal safety and protection, however. Although many women are able to effectively protect themselves from attackers using pepper spray, millions more carry pepper spray and don’t know how to use it. Once you make the decision to carry pepper spray or any other self-defense device, consider these words of advice:

    Know how to use your pepper spray. Read all instructions carefully, and practice opening the canister, if required.
    Know where your pepper spray is at all times. Not only does this help you stay protected wherever you go, but it keeps your pepper spray away from any children or animals that might be hurt by it.
    Devise a strategy that you will follow if you are required to engage your pepper spray. Have a Plan A and a Plan B.
    Learn a few simple self-defense techniques. Some self-defense is remarkably simple but even more incredibly effective. With a little practice and know-how, you’ll easily be able to wrestle out of an attacker’s grip in order to fire your pepper spray and flee the scene.
    Still think you’re too timid to use pepper spray? Consider these real-life success stories.

    On November 8, 2010, a woman in her twenties was caught off guard when an unidentified man attacked her in an apartment complex parking lot in North Syracuse, NY. The woman was attacked as she was opening her car door, and after briefly struggling to reach for her pepper spray, she sprayed the attacker. The man let go of the woman and ran away.

    Just a few days later, on November 20 in Jackson County, Oregon, a man invaded the home of a local woman, attempting to assault and rob her. After the burglar pushed the woman to the floor and fought with her, the woman was able to reach her pepper spray. She sprayed the man; he yelled out in pain, and ran out the door.

    On January 17, 2011, in Hewitt, Texas, a robber stormed into a hair salon and attempted to rob the business. Fortunately, a female customer was carrying pepper spray and sprayed the robber, who then fled the scene in pain.

    These are just a few stories of brave, prepared women who defended themselves and others in the event of an attack. Don’t be caught unarmed! Purchase a pepper spray to fit your needs today at

    Safety Products

    Most people have a fairly accurate view of the
    relative danger and safety of their lives. But some
    people, when looking at the potential danger, take
    the attitude that “It will never happen to me,” or
    say that “If it’s going to happen then it’s going to
    happen,” or think “I just don’t have enough time
    to take precautions.” In most cases it’s not a
    question of risk, fate, or time: They just don’t use
    common sense in taking the minimal precautions
    that would allow them to avoid, get away from, or
    survive the aftermath of terrorism or violence.

    Man Convicted Of Beheading His Girlfriend.

    A Minnesota man was convicted of first-degree murder Thursday for beheading his girlfriend in front of several witnesses. Alex Saborit 44, was found guilty in the slaying of America Thayer, 56, in July 2021.

    In her ruling, the judge found the "nature of the assault" proved Saborit intended to kill Thayer, and that his possession of the machete, threats made prior to the killing and "tumultuous" relationship "marked by frequent arguments and accusations of abuse" showed premeditation, CBS reported.

    The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Saborit struck Thayer with an 8-pound dumbbell while they were in a vehicle near downtown Shakopee, then he decapitated her with a machete.

    People in other cars and nearby homes saw the attack. One of them shot a video that appeared to show Saborit pull Thayer's body out of the car into the street then pick up her head by the hair.

    Saborit and Thayer were on the way to his court appearance for felony charges alleging that he set fire to their apartment in Shakopee during a confrontation with police and that Saborit attacked Thayer after she told him she wanted to end their relationship.

    Saborit fled the scene and disposed of the machete along the way. He was arrested about 1 ½ miles away near the TraveLodge Hotel where he was staying.

    County Attorney Ron Hocevar said he was pleased with the verdict, and that he expects Saborit to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

    "My mom never deserved to have this happen in the first place," Thayer's 42-year-old son, Charles Thayer, said after the verdict, the Star Tribune reported. "This monster deserves to be put away for life."

  • Texas woman sentenced for luring man to remote area where MS-13 gang members murdered him

    A Houston Texas, woman was sentenced to 30 years in prison for luring a man to a remote area to be attacked and killed by gang members who allegedly felt the victim disrespected them in a rap battle.

    Karla Jackelin Morales, 24, pleaded guilty Friday to charges in connection with the July 29, 2018, murder of 24-year-old Jose Alfonso Villanueva, according to Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg. Morales was scheduled to go to trial in October 2021, but she jumped bond and cut off her ankle monitor to escape detection and was arrested in Houston about nine months later.

    "This defendant jumped bail in 2021 to escape the consequences of her actions, but she was re-arrested and, on the eve of trial this week, pleaded guilty for what she did," Ogg said in a statement. "This was a premeditated and planned out attack and we have now been able to get justice for the victim’s family."

    Morales lured Villanueva to a field in Spring, Texas, where she told him they would smoke marijuana to celebrate his birthday. But Morales had taken him to the area so five MS-13 gang members waiting there could kill him.! The gang members attacked Villanueva with a machete and shot him as he attempted to run away.

    The gang members were allegedly angry at Villanueva because he disrespected them in a rap battle. His body was found about a week after the killing.

    "This women knowingly lured an innocent man to be murdered by five MS-13 gang members in the most brutal and depraved manner that you could imagine sending shockwaves and fear throughout the Houston community," Homeland Security Investigations Houston acting Special Agent in Charge Robert Kurtz said in a statement.

    "By working in conjunction with our local law enforcement partners and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, we were able to hold all of the individuals responsible for this horrifying tragedy accountable and hopefully bring some closure to the victim’s family."


    Jose Alfonso Villanueva was lured to a field in Spring, Texas, where five MS-13 gang members were waiting to kill him.

    The gang members have all been convicted in Villanueva's murder.

    Assistant District Attorney Jason Sanchez, a chief in the district attorney's Organized Crime Division, with Assistant District Attorney Neha Mehtaji.

    "This should be cautionary tale to anyone who thinks they may want to join a gang that it doesn’t matter your age, gender or anything else," Sanchez said in a statement. "We will prosecute you for the crimes you commit."

    Crime Is On The Rise.

    Violent Crime is exploding in the US.
    As it turns out “Defunding the Police” was a bad idea. The liberals thought at the time that perhaps trying to get rid of ALL the police officers including the ones that are honorable men and women that truly care about their communities was a good idea. Now they are learning that this might not be such a good idea.

    The Facts are in:

    Major city’s and even smaller communities are reporting high increases in violent crimes.

    CNN is even reporting that homicides increased by 33% last year.

    NOW YOU MAY BE THINKING ” Well this is 2021 Not 2020 or 2019 shouldn’t the crime rate be getting back to normal?

    But the fact is it’s not:

    Homicides and aggravated assaults are just two major crimes that have increased.

    Some violent crimes have continued to get worse in 2021!

    The idea that defunding the police is a good idea and that all Police Officers are bad has played a factor in the increase in crime.

    Police Officers are leaving the force more than ever before.

    Being a Police Officer is in these days are more risky than it used to be causing less new recruits signing up to be Police Officers

    Can you see the problem here?

    Less Officers you have lower police presence. Criminals are more likely to commit crimes because they are less likely to get caught.

    Reasonable people see this problem. And if you are reading this you have already started the process of keeping yourself and your family safe.

    WAY TO GO

    So the thing for you to do now is prepare for what you haven’t considered yet. and we can help!

    When it comes to self defense “You cant wait” for something to happen then start planning:

    PLEASE START PLANNING NOW before you are a victim of violet crime!
    Let us help you Plan for the Unexpected

    Don’t let this happen to you:

    Who Killed My Daughter?

    The Unsolved Murder of Teenager Kaitlyn Arquette.
    In "Who Killed My Daughter?", a mother searches for the truth behind her daughter’s tragic death.
    Eighteen-year-old Kaitlyn Arquette was the daughter of acclaimed mystery writer Lois Duncan. She graduated from high school on June 14, 1989, and had been accepted to the University of New Mexico. She planned to attend medical school one day. Shortly after graduation, she moved into an apartment with her boyfriend. They paid for it with the help of money that they had received from an insurance settlement. He was eight years older than her, but she had told her parents that he was only four years older. However, they felt that he was a nice person.
    Six weeks later, on the afternoon of July 16, Kaitlyn told Lois that she and her boyfriend had been having problems ever since they moved in together. She planned on breaking up with him and wanted Lois to lie about her whereabouts. She visited a friend from 9:30 to 10:45pm. She then headed east on Lomas Road, towards Lois' house. When she reached an intersection, another car pulled up next to her and shot her. Her car then drifted and crashed into a light pole.
    Shortly before midnight, Lois learned that Kaitlyn was in the emergency room. After reaching the hospital, her parents learned that she had been shot. Five hours later, the police arrived at her apartment. Her boyfriend was home alone, apparently unaware of the shooting. He told them that he had been out with friends, doing various activities. On a table, an investigator found a note that Kaitlyn had written to him, telling him that he would be home at a certain time.
    Kaitlyn's boyfriend told investigators that he argued with her, but was unaware that she may have wanted him to leave. Later, he joined her parents at the hospital. Tragically, she passed away from her injuries twenty-four hours later. Six months after her murder, investigators announced that she had been the victim of a "random act of violence". However, Lois does not believe this; through her own investigation, she believes that she has found evidence that Kaitlyn had known her killer.
    Lois believes that Kaitlyn was killed by a hired assassin because she knew too much about her boyfriend's criminal activities, which included staging accidents. She discovered that three phone calls had been made from Kaitlyn's apartment at the time she died. They were to a paralegal that had set up the accidents. A private investigator found evidence that she was afraid of her boyfriend's friends. He also found evidence that the note found in her apartment had been forged.
    Six months after Kaitlyn's murder, an informant led the Albuquerque police to a man named Robert Garcia. He identified three men as being involved in her murder. He claimed that he was in the car with them when they shot her. They were arrested and were charged with her murder. However, the charges were later dropped after it was discovered that Robert was in jail at the time.
    After this lead did not pan out, investigators requestioned Kaitlyn's boyfriend. He admitted to being involved in an insurance scam. However, police do not consider him a suspect in her murder. Her family is convinced that her murder was not a random act of violence. They are certain that she was silenced because of her knowledge of the insurance scam and other illegal activities.
    Garcia and Escobebo
    Juvenal Escobebo and Miguel Garcia

    Suspects: Lois believes that Kaitlyn was killed by members of a Vietnamese gang that her boyfriend was involved with. Two months before her murder, she and her boyfriend took a trip to Southern California. During this time, she apparently became involved in a lucrative car insurance scam. Her sister learned that her boyfriend had staged an accident a few months earlier. He had used a car that Kaitlyn had rented with Lois' credit card.
    The accident was allegedly orchestrated by an organization comprised of powerful members of Southern California's Vietnamese community. Everyone involved in it complained of soft tissue injuries that were later treated by a doctor who was also involved in the organization. A paralegal working out of an Orange County law office handled the insurance claim. Kaitlyn and her boyfriend were given $1500 for their part. They used the money for their apartment. Lois believes that, since she was breaking up with her boyfriend, the other gang members feared that she would go to the police. She believes that they had her silenced.
    A few weeks after the murder, Lois discovered that three phone calls had been made from Kaitlyn's apartment had virtually the same time she died. At the time, her boyfriend was with them. The calls were made to a Vietnamese paralegal that worked in Orange County. This was the same one that had set up the accidents.
    A private investigator hired by Lois spoke to Kaitlyn's landlord. He believed that she was afraid of her boyfriend's friends who were apparently involved in the criminal activities. They only spoke Vietnamese around her and often made fun of her. They were often a center of the couple's arguments.
    The investigator also compared the note allegedly left by Kaitlyn on the night of her murder to known samples of her handwriting. He did not believe that it was written by her. The landlord also claimed that three of her boyfriend's friends were in their apartment on the night of July 17, around the time that she died.
    However, the Albuquerque police did not believe that the Vietnamese gang and Kaitlyn's boyfriend were involved in her murder. They believe that her murder was a random act of violence. An informant led police to Robert Garcia. He was interrogated for two hours before telling investigators that he had been in a car with three friends on the night of Kaitlyn's murder. He claimed that one of them shot a woman in her car on a dare.
    Based on his testimony, police arrested Dennis Martinez, Juvenal Escobedo, and Miguel Garcia, who is not related to Robert. According to Robert, Miguel was the trigger-man. Police discovered that Juvenal had recently sold his car, a brown Chevrolet Camaro. They connected it to an eyewitness, who claimed that he had seen one chasing a young woman in her car on the night of Kaitlyn's murder. This occurred an hour before it.
    However, the case fell apart when it was discovered that Robert had been in jail on the night of Kaitlyn's murder. Ultimately, charges against all three suspects were dropped due to lack of evidence.
    As the result of pressure from Kaitlyn's family, investigators decided to reinterview her boyfriend. This time, he did admit to being involved in an auto insurance scam. However, neither he nor his friends were ever charged in relation to the scam. Also, police do not consider him a suspect in Kaitlyn's murder.
    Extra Notes: This case first aired on the January 27, 1993 episode. Lois wrote a book about it, titled Who Killed My Daughter?.
    Apodaca
    Paul Apodaca

    Results: Unsolved. Lois's private investigator later discovered that a man named Paul Apodaca was found standing next Kaitlyn's car when police arrived at the scene. His information was taken down, but he was allowed to leave. He was also never interviewed by police about the case. Lois was shocked to learn that he had an extensive criminal history, with multiple convictions for attacking women. A few years after Kaitlyn's murder, he was convicted of raping a young relative. It is not known if he was involved or had any connection to her death.
    The private investigator also discovered that Kaitlyn's car had been hit by at least one vehicle before it crashed into the light pole, as evidenced by the damage to the left rear bumper and side panel. It is not known why the police investigators did not release this information. Lois suspects that the police department was involved in a cover-up involving the case.
    In 2003, a cold case squad investigating the case determined that she had been shot after her car collided with the light pole. This was based on the accuracy of the shots, which suggested that they were fired at a close range and a non-moving target.
    Sadly, Lois passed away on June 15, 2016. There has been no further progress in the investigation of Kaitlyn's murder.

    Mother beheaded her 5 Yr old daughter.

    A mother who beheaded her five year-old daughter after the youngster asked for cereal has been jailed for life.
    A Texas woman will serve a life sentence without parole after she was convicted Thursday of stabbing and beheading her 5-year-old daughter, according to the Hays County District Attorney’s Office.

    Krystle Concepcion Villanueva, 27, claimed after the brutal 2017 murder that her daughter and father-in-law “had been replaced by clones and had to be killed to bring back her real family members,” the District Attorney’s Office said.

    The case was “probably the most horrific case in the history of Hays County,” the county’s sheriff, Gary Cutler, told KVUE-TV. Hays County is between Austin and San Antonio.

    Villanueva’s father-in-law called 911 on Jan. 5, 2017, to report that she stabbed him in the back without warning, according to the District Attorney’s Office. The father-in-law fled and crisis negotiators came to the Kyle, Texas, home when police learned the woman’s 5-year-old daughter was still with her inside, according to District Attorney Wes Mau.

    The woman also called 911 and said she killed her daughter, Giovanna Hernandez, because “she asked for cereal,” Mau said in a statement. The SWAT team broke into the home and restrained Villanueva, who was naked, according to the district attorney.

    SWAT team members found the young girl stabbed and decapitated in a bedroom, Mau said.

    SWAT team members found the young girl stabbed and decapitated in a bedroom, Mau said.
    Villanueva was found to be under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, the District Attorney’s Office said.

    Villanueva’s defense team urged the jury not to find her guilty because of insanity, but the jury rejected that defense, according to the District Attorney’s Office. She was found guilty of capital murder of a child under 10 and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

    “A case like this leaves an unforgettable mark on everyone involved, especially the child’s family.” Mau said. “Every law enforcement member who worked on this case will forever be traumatized by what Ms. Villanueva did to her innocent daughter. I commend all the investigators and officers who endured this horror with calm professionalism so that justice could be done.”

    The Murder of Suzanne Capper.

    Suzanne Capper, 16, suffered from a week of torture before being set on fire by a group of people she considered her friends.
    Suzanne Capper was a 16-year-old girl from Greater Manchester, England. Those who knew her said that all she wanted in her life was to be loved. She didn’t know her real father and she lived with her stepfather, John, after he split up from her mother, Elizabeth. She soon started to play truant from school and drifted from house to house, trying to find affection from anybody. While Suzanne had her issues, she was still known as a “high-spirited, well-mannered girl” who would help her stepfather out around the house and was thoroughly polite.1

    Soon, Suzanne started to hang out at the house of Jean Powell, 26, who she had babysat for when she was 10-years-old. The dilapidated house at 97 Langworthy Road was a hot spot for drug dealing, parties and sex. Amphetamines would be weighed out on kitchen scales and stolen cars would be traded. “I tried to stop Suzanne going there but she had a very strong will,” said John. Moreover, John didn’t know the extent of what was going on behind closed doors. He just had a strange feeling about Jean and those who frequented her home, often referring to it as a “house of evil.” It was here in this house that Suzanne fell in with the wrong crowd. Glyn Powell, 29, was Jean’s ex-husband who had convictions for burglary, theft, and being drunk and disorderly. Bernadette McNeilly, 24, was a drug addicted mother of three. Anthony Dudson, 17, was Jean’s on-again-off-again boyfriend. Jeffrey Leigh, 26, had convictions for robbing his 86-year-old disabled aunt. Clifford Hayes, 18, was Jean’s brother and Suzanne’s ex boyfriend.
    Suzanne continued to frequent the home despite the fact that almost everybody there bullied her and took advantage of her kind nature. “It was not that she was scared of them, it’s just she would do anything for them. She pampered their every whim,” recalled her sister, Michelle. In fact, in late 1992, Suzanne went to her mother’s home after being beaten up by Jean. Her mother cruelly turned her away when Suzanne begged to be let in the house and allowed to stay overnight. Her mother said her boyfriend wouldn’t allow it and Suzanne walked back to Jean’s house. “I believe that had she done something to help Suzanne, thing might be very different today. As a parent myself I would find what Suzanne’s mother did very hard to live with,” said Michelle’s fiance, Paul Barlow. Before Suzanne became involved with the group at Jean’s house, she had no human companionship other than from her family. In this squalid house on Langworthy Road, Suzanne found a source of human contact and she found it difficult to break that friendship up despite the fact it was abusive.

    Then in December of 1992, the group claimed that Suzanne had stolen a pink duffle coat and infected them all with pubic lice. At the time, Anthony was having sexual relations with Jean, Bernadette and Suzanne. According to Anthony, he must have contracted the pubic lice from Suzanne. While these grievances – whether true or not – would appear insubstantial and trivial, the cumulative effect was to bring Suzanne into contempt and then turn that contempt into hostility. On the 7th of December, 1992, the gang lured her from her stepfather’s home back to their home under the pretence that a guy who she fancied was there and was wanting to see her. Once inside, Suzanne was held down while Glyn shaved her head, eyebrows, and pubic area. Afterwards, he placed a plastic bag over her head and walked around her while hitting her on the head. Laughing and shouting, the gang took turns hitting her with belt buckles and large ornamental wooden spoons. The beating was so severe that one of Suzanne’s arms would hang useless by her side for the rest of her imprisonment. Following the beating, Suzanne was locked in a cupboard.
    Out of fear Suzanne’s cries and screams were disturbing Jean and Bernadette’s children who also lived in the grimy home, the gang moved her to Bernadette’s abandoned home which was just a few doors down. Here, Suzanne was shackled spread eagle to an upturned bed with chains and ropes. She had socks stuffed in her mouth to muffle any screams. Over the next five days, Suzanne was subjected to a catalogue of torture. Her two front teeth were pulled out with pliers and another was snapped in half, leaving the nerve exposed. She was injected with amphetamines and burned on the face and body with cigarettes. After the stench of Suzanne lying in her own excrement became unbearable, she was shoved into a bathtub filled with concentrated disinfectant and scrubbed with a yard brush until her skin came off. Through all of the torture and abuse, Suzanne was subjected to a tape of Chucky repeating: “I’m Chucky, wanna play?” through headphones as well as rave music at maximum volume.

    In the early morning hours of the 14th of December, 1992, Suzanne was forced into the boot of a Fiat Panda car that the gang has stolen. They drove her to remote woodland near Stockport where she was forced out of the car and shoved down an embankment, rolling through dank leaves and brambles, with thorns cutting her bare feet. Bernadette poured petrol over the terrified teenager and they set her alight. “She went straight up in flames and was screaming,” said Jean. The gang presumed she was dead and left the scene laughing and singing “burn, baby, burn.”2 However, Suzanne didn’t die as quickly and anonymously as the gang had hoped… Somehow Suzanne managed to survive the brutal attack. She staggered up the embankment and was found by Barry Sutcliffe, who was driving to work. When she was found, Suzanne repeatedly thanked Barry before muttering: “Over there, in the field. They burnt me, they put petrol on me…”3 Barry did not need to be told what had happened to Suzanne, it was clear from the skin hanging from her battered body. Suzanne had suffered from burns to 80% of her body.

    Unfortunately, Suzanne died four days later in Withington Hospital but not before she named all of her killers. “It was clear from the outset that Suzanne was unlikely to survive. She suffered superficial but widespread burns that led to several complications internally. There was a partial collapse in one of her lungs,” said Dr. William Lawler, a Home Office pathologist.
    When police arrived at 97 Langworthy Road, they were met by a complete and utter mess. The living room was strewn with rubbish and there were stolen car seats along the walls in lieu of sofas. In the home, they found Suzanne’s hair in the bin, a pair of bloody pliers and Suzanne’s discarded teeth. Initially, the gang all denied any involvement but then Anthony, urged by his father, began to tell the truth. “As the story began to unfold, we just couldn’t believe it. I kept asking myself how one human being could do this to another,” said a detective working on the case.5 Even the most hardened officers were moved to tears.
    During the trial, the gang turned on each other to alleviate the blame from themselves. Also, all of them distanced themselves from the final act of horror of the burning of Suzanne. According to Jean, she sat in the car while the others set Suzanne alight. “I was numb. I was scared,” she alleged.6 She also claimed that she had locked Suzanne in a cupboard “for her own safety” and that she loved “her as a sister,” adding that she “can’t stand violence. I don’t even smack my own children.7 Bernadette claimed she had held the canister of petrol but said that Anthony had grabbed it from her moments before Suzanne went up in flames. She also claimed that she had injected Suzanne with amphetamines to protect her from being injected with heroin. Anthony told the court that Glyn had been the one to set Suzanne on fire.

    During the sentencing phase, Judge Francis Potts called the murder “as appalling a murder as it is possible to imagine.” He sentenced Jean Powell, Bernadette McNeilly and Glyn Powell to life imprisonment with a minimum of 25 years. Jeffrey Leigh was sentenced to 12 years. Anthony Dudson was detained indefinitely with a minimum tariff of 18 years. Clifford Hayes was sentenced to 15 years. In 2012, Jean Powell’s sentence was reduced by two years after she allegedly showed remorse and helped prevent a jail escape. Bernadette McNeilly (who enjoyed a romance with Myra Hindley behind bars), Jeffrey Leigh and Clifford Hayes have all since been released.
