this mans pen.s should cut with razer blade day by day.. if a person kills more than one then they should get punishment according to that.. thats why when people kills once they never hegitate fo for another... so there should be diffferent law..

I want to give Jennifer a clue: "Your country, a.k.a. the USA, is killing innocent people".

It is amazing that she thinks upon this day after day and still fails to put 2 + 2 together.

Perhaps people are blind to the wrongs committed by their society, blinded by brain-washing by the media and by peer pressure.

People in the Western world don't think that Christianity is stupid, but they constantly ridicule Islamism. The truth is that there is no God and they are both wrong. But most people are blind to this.

They also condemn some Muslim societies for practicing genital mutilation on little girls, but fail to see that circumcision on little boys is the same thing.

That is what a dick looks like.

They think.

Remarkable, isn't it?

So Illinois doesn't have a death penalty and if this guy gets the death penalty in California he has a better chance of dying of old age. This is what's wrong with this country,

To the person who calls themselves saintgauden. You are a moron of the biggest kind and people like you find your own karma in life. I am a frequent viewer of 48 hours and these stories get worse and worse. I am glad they show our world in this sick reality. We really need it. Almost all of us grow up innocent and never thinking that we would know a victim let alone be one. Jennifer is an amazing woman and those close to her are lucky to have that inspiration. To the person who wrote those wonderful tips on how to survive an attack, you are so right. Never give in and listen to folklore and myth. Listen to everything your parents taught you. You are your only chance for survival and Jennifer is proof of that!

Horribly tragic; the consolation is that this brave beautiful woman survived and that's all that matters. The vast majority of people would have done the same and there's no shame in that. However, there are lessons to be learned about survival that we should all become psychologically prepared to act upon:

1. AWARENESS
Trust no one, especially strangers offering assistance. Always carry a fully charged cell phone with battery back-up. Maintain a personal comfort zone around you of at least 5 feet whenever possible. Let no stranger (or hostile relation) enter this zone under any circumstances. This works in prison; it'll work on the street. Keep giving space. If they keep taking it, run away screaming. If you can't run and they cross your personal comfort zone, attack the attacker. Go for the eyes and throat and don't give up.

2. WHAT RHYMES WITH GUN? RUN!
No matter where you are, inside, outside, city street or country lane, the instant you see either gun metal or a knife, run like your life depends on it...because it does. If you are not disabled, infirm, trapped or restrained, you should leave skid marks on the ground. Don't even wait for them to say anything. Police statistics show that the odds of being shot are small because a) the original "plan" has been disrupted b) gunfire attracts attention and c) the odds of you being hit are small and d) the odds of being hit with a lethal shot are even smaller. Even when shot (in non-lethal areas) the human body under adrenaline can be unbelievably resilient. As civilized human beings we are conditioned to be polite and politically correct. The psychopathic criminal knows this. Do what any wild animal does and bolt at the first inkling of danger and not after. Fear can also immobilize you and the psychopathic criminal knows this and relies on it.

3. DO NOT GO TO CRIME SCENE #2
If somehow you are forced into the vehicle then do whatever you have to do to crash the vehicle. Wait until you are doing at least 25 mph and then rip out his eyes, bite his throat, scratch, hit and punch his testicles and grab the steering wheel. Police statistics show that abductors lose interest in you fast in a car accident and the injuries you might incur are far less than what he will inflict upon you should you arrive at his chosen destination.

4. DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH A MUGGING
If you are restrained and the criminal demands money, give it to him. All of it, and quickly and politely. However, if he wants to then take you somewhere, police statistics show that if you make your stand right there, you have a better chance of surviving than if you're taken to crime scene #2.
