Is anyone going to acknowledge the kindness the homeowner(s) showed this woman?

[tinkyful]

Never go alone. I had my first encounter when a truck passed me multiple times. He waved at me like he knew me. It was a good thing I was close to home and I was on the opposite side of the street. He parked near a store that was further from me so he could turn in my direction. I pretended to be on my phone and that's when he bolted. Crazy

[sasham]

Don't put your life on social media, creeps like this guy probably watch and then follow you, gotta watch out these days

[Livetoeat]

Someone needs to follow him and watch his actions! He needs to be stalked now.

A good thing she can do is to find running partners or a running club.

With this crazy, evil world it’s not surprising for a woman alone to be followed.

[Gothiczartan]

That's good that she carries a whistle to alert for help.

[OliveGreen]

I wouldn’t run anywhere alone without a gun. You can’t these days.

[MontyQueues]

yes the van is owned by the serial hunter, CLARK ED WOOD who visibly plants his vehicle in front of joggers so they can be SCARED, LMAO

[nagaphota]

[ramsden]

If your a women in America 🇺🇸 it pays big style to do firearms training and surroundings awareness course and to always keep distance from anyone and have a firearm on you cause no matter how good you feel within you and how strong you may feel a can of bare mace or strong mace or even a good lightweight firearm will one day save your life. Now dont just go buy a gun thinking your going to no what to do you need to train and train occasionally with your firearm cause it WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE

That was so weird why would you just Stop running and call the police why are you still recording on TikTok I don’t know I think this is fake

[sashabrat]

she didn’t call 911 in the very beginning

[..feb.]

Another useful tip is to not run at all!

[h.Freeman]

6 miles 92° and not a drop of sweat...with aviators and makeup on....maybe someone was following her but I ain't buying her running distance

[tecklafurro]

Im surprised she didnt have those with her in the first place

[shanbadg]

If only I had something to call the police with. Something I could carry in my hands. If only I didn’t have so many followers validating my existence, I would use this cellphone/camera to call the police!

Looks like a white truck parked. Thinking about Moscow and just how much she looks like one of the four in glasses .

[fernandotorres]

She's beautiful but yes that can be creepy asf this is why she needs to run with someone to keep her company
