Man Attacks Woman In Public And Gets A Major Surprise

No one is a fan of random attacks, but a man attacked a woman in public. He attacked her in broad daylight and he got a major surprise that he was not expecting.

I don't know where this incident happened, but seeing it on video was indeed crazy to watch! A woman was walking and minding her business. A man then walks up out of nowhere and proceeds to beat this lady. I'm assuming he was attempting to steal her purse maybe. She tried to fight him off and attempt to get away. Out of nowhere, this attacker got a bonafide surprise that he was not expecting.

Kudos to the men who came out of nowhere to help this woman. I'm sure she was grateful, but this is why I'm an advocate of women carrying what they need to carry. Now if he had stolen her purse then that could have been another issue, however, you never know. What I do know is he now knows what "eff" around and find out means.

I don't know the location of this video, but I think we all can agree that it's wild. I have heard of a few public attacks recently. It almost makes me feel as though it could be on the rise. There was a recent situation of a woman in Long Beach, California. A homeless man followed her with his pants down and attempted to sexually assault her in broad daylight. It was such a brazen attack that it was extremely scary.

Ladies and gentlemen, but especially ladies, be very careful. Stay vigilant and have a plan if necessary. There is an emergency setting on iPhones that could save your life. After it's setup, simply press your side button three times. An alarm will sound but it will also send a message to your emergency contacts. It will include your location and that you dialed 911. The phone automatically calls 911 if the alarm isn't stopped. Stay safe!

What do you look for when planning a vacation? Ease of access? A plethora of things to do? I love a place that has plenty of unique restaurants and bars. But one thing that, especially domestically, you may not have at the top of your mind- is safety. Now I do consider it when choosing a hotel, it can be easy to find something where the price almost seems too good to be true. And that often can be due to a not-so-great location. I've definitely stayed in one or two of those before. But what about the overall safest vacation destinations? There are actually some high-quality places on the list. Ones you may be planning to visit anyway. Would you believe two North Carolina cities were named as some of the safest vacation destinations? It's not the safety that surprises me, more than people use vacation days to visit.

Nothing against either of these cities, they are actually the two places I've lived in my lifetime so both hold a special place in my heart. And maybe it's because I've spent so much time in both that I wonder why people would travel long distances to visit. But both made this list, which was compiled by The Boutique Adventurer. They used FBI Crime Data including the cost of crime, the opportunity cost of crime, incarceration, crime prevention, and more. Only cities that have a population of 100,000 or more that they considered to be "vacation spots" or "tourist hubs"  were included on the initial list by The Boutique Adventurer. The total list included 19 destinations across the US.

Two NC cities were included among the safest vacation destinations. You'll find those below as well as the top 3 and one other notable place that I bet a lot of you have traveled to or are planning to travel to. Curious about the entire list? You can find that here.

It's good to know that the island paradise of Hawaii, more specifically Honolulu is the safest vacation destination. While I've never been lucky enough to visit, I hope to one day.

The second safest destination- a beach not too far from the Carolinas. Virginia Beach is a touristy destination complete with a three-mile boardwalk full of whatever attractions you can imagine.

Third on the list is one of my favorite cities in the US- San Diego, CA. Though this southern California city isn't quite as warm as you may expect there is no shortage of fun things to do in the area.

While not in the top 3, I had to recognize NYC for making this list. A lot of people may not have thought this popular destination is one of the safest as well. And for such a bustling busy city that's great news. Also great news as I'm planning a trip in the coming months.

While I personally wouldn't rank Charlotte near the top for tourist destinations it's nice to see the city recognized for safety. I guess there is a lot to see and do if you aren't from the Queen City, but for the rare unicorn who was born here, I can't see using vacation days to come here.

Lastly, Raleigh came in at number 12 on this list. And yes, Raleigh is basically my second home. I visit often for sports and friends. So I'm very glad to see if recognized for safety as well.
