Re: Missing Irish Woman in Melbourne- RIP Jill Meagher
One of the 'precautions' I took is to have an Acme Thunderer whistle on my key ring & always have it ready to use, another item on my key ring is a pair of tiny folding & very sharp scissors - if ever I did feel in the slightest bit concerned, I'd unfold them & have them to hand in a pocket...

Re: Missing Irish Woman in Melbourne- RIP Jill Meagher
The argument re provocative clothing is superfluous, how you're clothed has little bearing on it. The one & only time I was accosted (back it the late 1980's) I was wearing a roll necked sweater, leggins, boots & a long cardigan - hardly provocative! Luckily, I escaped unscathed & the attacker was c...

Bullies are usually harbouring feelings of inadequacy and/or jealousy - if this guy was asked for his opinion on or help with something he would feel valued and all thoughts of bullying would likely be dispelled.
