I just live in a safe area now and choose good friends and stay away from danger.

In Carlton I lived in a gated courtyard. The area was unsafe.

no weapon

weapons are something assailants can grab and use against me, I'm not skilled enough or brave enough to use one

if I truly need one I will use what's at hand, furniture, rocks, a bottle, anything I can grab and shove/throw in their face, balls and knees
