I am truly sad by the passing of anyone who has met their end in an obviously violent manner. However, it seems that the general consensus is that the crime was committed by a client. From what I am reading in the news reports, the perpetrator used a hammer to break the door down, and a window was broken. On the surface, this has all the signs of having been committed by someone who was extremely angry, perhaps motivated by other issues than a provider/client relationship.
I completely agree that everyone needs to use this incident as a wake-up call and be careful out there. This applies to provider and client as well. Bad people exist at all levels. Keep your eyes open, and be aware of your surroundings. However, extreme paranoia may not be the required response - yet.
Again, not trying to speak negatively about anyone or their opinions. Just offering another viewpoint.
I agree with your response up to a point. I think we should wait to see if the police catch the perpetrator and then determine whether the incident was a personal one or one related to her business. It isn't logical that a client would react in such an extreme manner by going outside to get a hammer and then return to break in again and attack her. We had an incident a few months back with another provider in South Carolina that also should have been a wake up call but I don't believe anyone took it as serious because it appeared to be a lover's quarrel. This may prove to be the same. Will everyone react differently if the person who is cause of this is not a client but someone who had a different relationship with Lundon? I think all the self defense and personal protection advice should be repeated regularly because of the hobby we all participate in but this also applies to our lives outside the hobby as well. Its always a tragedy when someone is murdered and my sympathy lies with Lundon's family, especially her child. This is not something that can be undone. But let's all be pro-active about our lives and surroundings. If we associate with people who are violent and abusive, this will come back to bite us all in the behind. I also don't intend any disrespect but I'd like the full story before making any drastic statements or changes about how I participate in the hobby.
My reasons for caution are not for client protection it is LE...
The men I have met thus far have been incredible.
HOWEVER, I posted am article earlier in the year from a news paper clipping. A gent had came to this country and his dream was to choke someone to death.
He hired a provider specifically for this. Her 'friend' came to the room got the money and then left her alone. The Client called the police and told him what he had done. He sat down to await them and tell them the story.
I do not believe there is any fool proof way to be sure we have the perfect date. Think about it. Someone has a bad day, they make an appt, want something alittle 'rough' to relieve the stress, It gets out of control and the lady winds up dead. Who knows that same person could have had 100's or refs and a great career but no one can predict when a persons mind will snap.
What if some of these ladies that are married or have SO's that do not know what they do for work were to find out. He shows up while you are there. I doubt that would be a safe enviornment for anyone.
God forbid the clients wife or SO was the one to find out and walk in. I can see a huge catfight with bad potential.
YES I know these are harsh things to hear in such a hard time for some but I do hope it make you think about the possibilities.
Lovers quarrel it may be. The last two boyfriends I had, I met through this line of work. One when I first started off and dated him for over a year and a half off and on (he is a fireman that I still respect). The other I stopped working when I began dating him and I still respect him very much. I am lucky to have met them and shared time with them. They are both harmless and kind hearted guys. I also met a client that became very close, possesive of my time, and got to learn too much about me. He is harmless, but I no longer speak with him. I have been fortunate to be close to guys that are harmless.
Between personal life and with work, there is no time to go out and meet individuals to date and get to know well enough to a lovers quarrel would come about. Maybe that is just me though.
