Accotink Park safe or not???
Posted by: Rissa ()

I love this park. It's beautiful with long paths and pretty water views. But is this park safe to walk alone on the paths. My daughter loves this park but she wants to walk alone in it when I'm a work. But I'm worried that's it's not safe. A couple times when I walked there and their has been creepy looking people on the trail and one time a creepy man hiding in a bush. Maybe it was just a couple odd days at the park. I pretty new to the area so I would like to hear people's opinions on what they think? Is the park safe?????

Metro section of the Monday, July 6th Washington Post. Smaller article mentions in passing a man walking his dog attacked by a rabid fox. Man lost his hat, the hat distracted the fox. They got away. Luck is not a defense. Advise yer daughter to bring a stout hiking stick. Good for fending off rabid foxes and the local predatory weirdos.

Have her carry a stun gun and a cell phone and only walk during daylight hours and stick to the trail.

Best if she can trail a fellow female walker (so if she yells for help theres someone around to hear her), if not she should be ok as long as she is not buried in her phone listening to music not paying attention to her surroundings.

I used to walk or ride my bike around Accotink Lake every day during the summer when I was a teen but I always had my sister or a friend with me. I think it's a generally safe trail and area but there are creeps on every trail and they tend to target young females walking alone. I would not want my daughter walking alone on a wooded trail.

With the recent rabid animal attacks I would be leery about walking on area wooded trails - even with a friend. I think biking (with a friend) would be better.

Get her some firearms training and a gun suitable for concealed carry. She will be fine then. Of course, liberals will prefer that she just enjoy being raped.

Of course, the body has ways of rejecting that rape! ANd then, when she goes for an abortion due to said rape, she can be shamed into having the baby anyway. Then when the baby is born, there is no welfare to help her. So now she has PTSD from the rape (no mental counseling either) AND the baby to look at to remind her everyday of her rape. And there's no inexpensive childcare so she could even get back to work or school.

God Bless America!!!

I carry pepper spray when I go running or hiking. Also good for getting rid of a bear, dog or wild animal attack. It's legal in all parks where a gun is not.

You will be feeling "Warm Fuzzy and Centered" walking on any trails with a hickory axe handle , a CCW in the wallet and "Old Slabsides" , In a "holster purse". They do make Pink grips you know.

Your choice, living to see children grow up, getting married, seeing your first grand child . Because you listened to the voice of common sense.

Or a early sad death in the weeds because of a filthy killers desire . Because you listened to the Liberal Socialist voices of the Gun Control Freaks.

If you need to come here of all places and ask if somewhere is safe after seeing 'creepy looking people on the trail and one time a creepy man hiding in a bush'.

Then your problems are much deeper than a stroll through the park.

Tell her to ignore any shadowy floating figures (which have been sighted there) .. they're just Civil War ghosts and don't forget to warn her to watch her step .. the place has plenty of copperheads. I nearly stepped on one, my last visit to the park.

A gun? Bad choice.

There's more of chance that she shoots herself, commits suicide by gun or offs a family member than ever using a gun to fend off an attack.

It's a great park and probably reasonably safe, but it's also not a great idea for any young girl to be walking alone on obscured paths. Probably better to go with a friend

+1 Assholes on any bikes actually. While it is a fun path to ride, there are too many turns and too many people with kids and dogs to truly open up the speed.

There is a better park on Pickett Road to walk around.

Near TLC.

Pickett Park... where a kid was hanging from a tree for a week before anyone noticed him. Quiet. Safe. Right.

Actually, the libs defense plan is telling women to just urinate all over when being raped, that will turn off the arousal of their attacker

The OP was mocking Republican senatorial candidate Todd Akin from Missouri who claimed in 2012 that in a "legitimate" rape the woman's body prevents conception from happening.

Hence if she got pregnant it really wasn't a rape.

He lost and later candidates wisely did not discuss the issue.

We liberals demand that everyone should just lean back and enjoy being raped and/or killed. Learning to defend yourself would mean self-sufficiency, which is the worst crime imaginable.

...in constant awareness, rather. Liberals, they just throw up the reins, believing the government does a better job of preserving and protecting their lives than they do themselves. As if the government were on their side... hahahaha. What a bunch of goose-heads.

If you sprayed that little shit tin of mace at a bear it would swallow your arm whole idiot.

The trail is well traveled and safe during the day. At night its closed so she cant go anyway. There is cell reception the whole way - have her carry a phone. With the mace she needs training and even then it will get used against her in most cases. Have her bring a friend.

Amazingly enough the poster was quoting Congressman Tod Akin "Republican Congressman Todd Akin,

the GOP nominee running for Senate against incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, justified his absolute opposition to abortion (no exceptions for rape) by claiming that the victims of “legitimate rape” have biological mechanisms in place to reject and prevent pregnancy.

"“If an abortion can be considered in the case of a tubal pregnancy [where the mother’s life is threatened],” said host Charles Jaco, “what about in the case of rape? Should it be legal or not?”

“First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare,” Akin said about pregnancy from rape. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin continued on to suggest that when those protections fail, abortion shouldn’t be an available course of action for the victim.

To be safe, tell her to put in an IUD before going out, take condoms with her, and apologize to any illegal who chooses to rape her, because after all, she has oppressed the illegals and forced them to break the law.
