I did try that once. I dialed 100, I told them I was being harassed on
the road (I am a guy BTW) and they gave me the number of the nearest
police station.
Police are of not much help in such situations.
I have attended a lot of self defense classes but it takes a long time
to develop the skill and proficiency. And with the adrenaline rush I
tend to break more of my own fingers than that of the goons' bones.
After careful thought i now have a flat iron rod which I can swish
around like a sword - permanently near my driving seat. Thankfully no
one has even as much as given me the stare after that.
For you I suggest you go for a gun license and carry a firearm all the
time. The only good goon is a dead goon.
Have you a taser?

For a long term solution, think before you vote.

Is is possible to get a phone-in service organised? Would Alternate Law Forum
be useful in this regard? Is an alternative forum required, which will focus on
taking immediate action (maybe linking to the lawyers for subsequent action)?
