Mace stops sexual assault attempt
By Rich Jurgens
A victim of a sexual assault doesn't always have to be
the loser, as a 21year-old UNL student proved last week.
UNL Police Investigator Robert Fey said an attempted
sexual assault was prevented by the use of mace.
Fey said a student reported to the campus police that
after she left class at Woods Hall, she heard someone
walking behind her. When she got to her car, someone
grabbed her and Mtold her to lay down," Fey said. The
student told the police the man was between 5 feet 8
inches tall and was holding a silver revolver during the
attempted assault.
Fey said she sprayed mace, a chemical face and skin
irritant in an aerosol can, to ward off the attacker.
The student described the man as either Mexican or
Indian and as wearing a blue denim jacket and blue jeans.
About 10 sexual assaults have been reported to UNL
police this semester. However, UNL police Captain Robert
Edmunds said not all of these assaults are first-degree.
Fey said he has gotten several calls from students this
semester asking if mace was legal. He said he tells students
that mace is a self-defense alternative, but recommended
it not be used if the attacker has a gun or knife.
Fey said this time it worked for the student, so it may
work for others.
However, Tim Snyder a karate instructor at
Mid-Amcrican-Tae-Kwon-Do Karate School said mace can
work against you.
Sometimes, if the" wind is blowing in the wrong
direction, the mace will blow in the victim's face, Snyder
said. He added that the attacker could have had enough
time to shoot the student in this instance.
Snyder, who has been teaching self-defense for five
years, said in this particular case, to ensure the student's
safety, she should have either submitted or tried to talk
her way out of the assault.
Most techniques taught to women in self-defense are
highly impractical, Snyder said.
Using a set of keys for self-defense is foolish, he said.
Keys will only scratch the attacker and probably will
enrage him further. Also, he said, keys bend easily and
may keep the victim form getting into her car to escape.
Snyder said most women never visualize themselves as
being victims, so they get caught off guard. He said
women should realize they could be potential victims and
have a sense of awareness. Women should not be totally
paranoid about rape, but should have a little bit. of
controlled paranoia he said.
