She was strangled, threatened with a knife and forced to lie in a bathtub while Labatte covered her face with a washcloth and poured water on her, the complaint says.
If you have daughters please train them in self defense. Best to train it young and encourage it as a hobby into adulthood. It’s better than weapons and more effective. Breaking an assailant’s arm comes with way less PTSD than shooting someone.
Edit: I am a fan of living a self reliant life. It’s a very wholesome and well rounded way to live. Carl Sagan promoted it and it is a solid way to actually live free rather than under the falsities of the self proclaimed “main stream” portion of society. Self Defense is a major part of that. Self defense also does not mean being a master of it, just enough to get away safely.
Edit2: Yea this post isn’t victim blaming. There are many benefits to self defense including confidence building. You are literally empowering your kids. Idk why people don’t like doing that except to control them. Again, teaching self defense isn’t teaching violence. If you don’t know the difference it would be enlightening to discover it.
Better yet we do both. Hell we should also be spreading awareness and providing programs to help support people to prevent and recover from incidents like this. It’s a complex social issue so it should be tackled from all directions simultaneously
Completely agreed. I don’t think anybody is out here saying “teach people to defend themselves but don’t even bother trying to teach people not to assault others”
Did you know that modern society has an entire profession based around teaching other people’s sons? Like, adults learn for years how to do this, and then we pay those people to teach our sons and everyone else’s sons too. Most countries even make it a legal requirement to be taught by someone!
My daughter has been learning defense since she was 8, went through different classes including MMA. She’s such a sweet kid and runs away from danger, but she’s got enough to fight with if it ever comes to it. Still wish I could follow her around looking mean everywhere she goes. But if a guy ever did this to her, I would deal with him myself.

I don’t disagree but I think it’s a lot easier for me to teach my son not to be a rapist. At 7 he understands boundaries. It’s not hard.
Yeah… too bad you can’t teach other people’s sons not to be rapists - they’re the ones you’ve gotta worry about

Let’s also not forget that a certain percentage of people are simply fucked up beyond repair, no matter how they are raised.
So teaching women basic self defense is absolutely the way to go.
I want to live in a world, where this piece of shit tries to rape someone and ends up with a broken nose, arm and exploded nutsack.
It’s amazing what you can do if you try.

It’s amazing.
Okay. But also, if you have a son teach them that women are not objects that owe them sex if they follow some script in their head.
Imagine the pathetic life of the two people that downvoted this comment.

A good self defense class teaches people to run first and fight only when you’re cornered, so she’s learning the right lesson.
This is unrealistic victim-blaming.
Teach your sons to control themselves and your daughters to go hard for the balls.
