I feel like "set on fire" as a possible punishment would be a strong deterrent.

Watched a show on Kenneth McDuff last night and my first thought was where he was in those days.

I'm glad they did.
My daughter is a senior there and lives near the deceased. As do her friends. The headline got me to read the article and reinforce basic safety lessons to her. She carries one of those mini tasers and has had all the basic safety lessons before. But it's easy to become complacent.

I think it's quite helpful to identify the general area for those who may want to read what is going on. Far better than giving a physical address that one would have to load into Google before finding out where it is. That said, surprised to some extent that it didn't read: "Woman Strangled in the Dallas Area"

Calm down. If it was downtown they would have said "Downtown area"

Did FWPD catch the dirtbags that trashed St. Stephens nearby?

They arrested a high school kid, but it turned out to be a 54 yo homeless guy.

I went to school with her parents. I can't imagine what this is like. They were at the final round of the Masters on Sunday and came back to this. Though they went to OU, I see them frequently at TCU games and they or their family members are season ticket holders for at least basketball. One of those TCU #2 families. Prayers to them.

I guess not all of them....I was moving my car this morning at 6am and here comes a girl dressed entirely in black jogging down the middle of the street by herself....
Two hours earlier there were two policemen walking around with flashlights three doors down from me.
as a BJJ practicioner, I don't know a single "counter choke" to a choke. The key to survival, no matter what your size, strength, or MMA knowledge falls back to the golden rule - be aware of your surroundings- and don't put yourself in bad positions- especially being alone. If there are shady people up ahead, if you are approaching a deserted /dark alley- don't go...if you are in a parking garage,have your keys in your hands already- and survey the lot... If someone with a knife, gun, bat, etc does come up on you and tells you to go with them...don't...run- take your chances out in public because even with a gun, they can miss, or just decide its not worth attacking you in broad daylight. If you find yourself trying to defend against a choke, you pretty much failed in the first rules of survival and personal safety.
Luckily most assailants aren't BJJ experts, but if your put in a rear naked choke, there's no way an average person is getting out of one. I have rolled with champion wrestlers that outweigh me significantly, but if you have a choke in deep, they won't get out of it. I do recommend all women however get the basics down for survival and safety. Where BJJ really comes in handy is in a rape assault. Lying on your back you are definitely not defenseless if you know bjj but its more for protection vs. actually attacking. .
