Hodges: Beware of Sex Predators!
DRINKING, DANCING, & CHATTING ONLINE ARE FUN BUT BE VERY CAREFUL, by Wayne Hodges
“Drink spiking is when alcohol or another drug is added to your drink without you knowing. This results in you becoming drunk or drug affected unexpectedly. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks can be spiked, and it can happen at clubs, bars and at parties. Spiked drinks are also called a ‘mickey finn’ or being ’slipped a mickey’.” – Ceredigion County Council
KANSAS CITY, Mo – Do you ever catch yourself looking for love in all the wrong places? Are you fascinated with the club scene? Would you prefer a night of uncensored lust over true love? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, be careful. Why? You’re bound to come across what I like to call “sexual predators.” These carnivores prey on unsuspecting flesh in such a manner they are hardly caught. And, to add insult to injury; these freaks have virtually no limit. They romance you on the dance floor, fill you with cheap liquor, then strike with a force so transparent nobody, including you, can recollect what happened.
Everybody knows predators are on the prowl. But, what’s up with the ladies? According to Time Magazine, more women are drinking alcohol with the same regularity as men. Some even view it as a challenge. Lisa Diebold, a 22-year-old student at Syracuse University, set two goals for herself before graduation: “Learn how to drive a stick shift, and drink a guy under the table.” When asked to clarify the latter, Diebold replied, “to be able to drink like a guy is kind of a badge of honor.”
There you go. More women are getting tipsy today and the predators know it. Look, there’s nothing wrong with partaking in a night of drinking and dancing. Nobody’s going to argue with that. However, we must remain cognizant of this sick little fact. Heavy consumption of alcohol and “drink spiking” make it easy for perverts to perform sexually explicit acts and, on some occasions, assault. Even if permission is granted; most rape laws suggest consent is vitiated when a person is heavily intoxicated.
Vulnerable women are often the target of sexual predators
In addition to excessive drinking, online forums can be equally disastrous. One of the dangers of the internet is the anonymity of the user. Participating in chat rooms can be fun. But, understand on most occasions you have absolutely no idea with whom you’re interacting. Your chatting partner can be a nice person or a crazed freak. Really, there’s no way of telling.
So, to keep you alert for what lurks ahead, I’ve decided to shed some light on this sexual darkness to expose these culprits for what they truly are: Predators. The video below will reveal the truth. Whether you’re in a dance club or on the internet, the rules remain basically the same. Keep your eyes open at all times. And never allow yourself to get caught in a vulnerable position. You never know. A sexual predator may have you locked on his or her radar right now, at this very moment.

I went out last night and had this drunk guy all over me. It was gross. Thank goodness my sister and her boyfriend were there. It’s scary what you can run across at a club.

That’s why i don’t get drunk. Too many freaks and not enough decent guys. i prefer to get drunk on life. That’s good enough for me.

I’m going out tonight with my girlfriends. We will be on predator alert. No free nooky here.

Men are supposed to be predators and chase after our prey. We’re animals by instinct. For this game to work, ladies have to be shy and men have to be hunters. If it aint broke then damn it dont fix it, word ‘em up.

Ruthless Lover, there’s a big difference between asking a woman out and being a predator. I hope you know the difference.
