The Philadelphia strangler has been arrested after killing and raping at least three women. Antonio Rodriguez, 21, was arrested on Monday after DNA testing linked him to the three murdered women. Rodriguez's last victim despite being choked, punched and hit on the head with a brick, she escaped her assailant, who fled from the scene, according to the police report and likely gave the needed information that led to his arrest.
Rodriguez was a homeless man and would attack his victims by dragging them into the dark alley's choked, bludgeoned, and rape them to death. Even though this scum bag is off the street the other threats like him are still there. Think about this type of attacker. They have nothing to lose. They are homeless and are willing to do anything to get what they want. Even if they are arrested the most likely don't even care because at least they would have food and shelter from the winter cold.
So these attackers are willing and ready to do anything to get what they want, but are you willing to do what it takes to defend yourself and live? I find it incredible that with so many stories of brutal violence against women, many women still don't do anything to learn how to protect themselves or carry anything to help them protect themselves. There are so many simple things you can do from groin kicks and eye gouges and making sure you carry at least a Kubaton, pepper spray, or a knife. All of these options have simple application and don't require tremendous training to be effective and are even more effective at close ranges where most women get attacked. All of them are inexpensive and very effective even in the most stressful situations. Your attacker will fight to take your life why not fight with all you got to keep it? Don't be a victim!
Train, Defend, And Live!
Police Arrest Suspected Serial Strangler

(CNN) -- Police arrested suspected serial strangler Antonio Rodriguez on Monday after DNA testing linked him to the sexual assault and murder of at least three women in a central Philadelphia neighborhood, according to Detective Justin Frank.
"We're hopeful that this will put an end to this," Frank said.
The announcement came just moments after a press conference in which Philadelphia Police Capt. James J. Clark announced a "major break" in the case, with forensic evidence putting Rodriguez at the scene of the three homicides.
Clark had said Rodriguez is a homeless man considered "extremely dangerous".
Rodriguez, 21, is suspected of killing Casey Mahoney, 27; Elaine Goldberg, 21; and Nicole Piacentini, 35, Clark said.
It is not clear how Rodriguez was located.
Last month, a 33-year-old woman was pulled into an alley and may have been the victim of the same attacker, police said.
