The Rant-Twisted Justice?

A girl who used a self-defense item to deter an attacker has been investigated by law enforcement, highlighting the 'find the man, find the crime' mentality in the criminal justice system. This approach, which focuses on finding the perpetrator rather than the victim, is problematic in cases where the victim is defending themselves. The girl's use of pepper spray, a legal form of self-defense in many states, should not be punished. The investigation is a waste of resources, as it diverts attention and resources away from the real criminal. The case also highlights the need for education and awareness about self-defense options for women, who may hesitate to use such weapons out of fear of prosecution. By providing education and resources on self-defense, we can empower women to protect themselves and reduce the likelihood of attacks.
