    My pocket stun gun was $19.99. Decided I needed a defense mechanism I could conceal after an encounter with a scary aggressive homeless man.

    Also has a flashlight.

      This has been “useful” to you? I hope mostly the flashlight and not the tazing homeless people part.

        Go judge someone else. It wasn’t my decision to turn whole cities into mental institutions. It was Ronald Reagan’s.

          Hahaha. Who said I was judging you? I hope you don’t need to be using a tazer often because it doesn’t sound like a fun existence. It sucks that we have homeless people in the richest country in the world, but that doesn’t mean homeless people can’t be dangerous. Take a chill pill please.

            Apologies.

            Every time I mention I had a run-in with a homeless person, some self-righteous SJW discounts my experience and infers that I must have been in the wrong, though I was just sitting on a bus minding my own business on the way to work. My city has fare-free buses, so we end up having a lot of close encounters with untreated homeless people. (Also why I carry a stun-gun instead of mace, so if I have to use it there’s no chance of friendly fire.)

            So I figured you were another one here to cast aspersions, and I have a short fuse with it for sure. My mistake.
