“On Sunday I told that in Mexico and Colombia There are initiatives that analyze the use of Tasers to assist women victims of gender violence threatened with death. I proposed that, without prejudice, we analyze the possibility of similar measures. In the networks he had many comments of support, he also aroused critical notes in some press media financed by the ruling party and associated users, “said the candidate for Head of Government of the City of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri.
Cousin of Mauricio Macri suggested the use of Taser Bolt 2, a non-lethal weapon for civilian use, for victims of gender violence. A practical response to the increase in cases, which in many situations ends with a fatal outcome. Within the framework of the proposal, the use would be exclusive for women threatened with death where Justice has intervened.
The PRO leader clarified that Tasers are not dangerous for people with cardiac risk or pacemakers and that “medical tests dismiss it.” He also that there is a basic self-defense training and would be delivered as the anti-panic button. Of course, the adoption would be voluntary.
In his social networks, the former Buenos Aires mayor clarified: “The Taser Bolt 2 fires two darts connected with cables to the device that will discharge energy for 30 seconds to produce immediate and total paralysis of the attacker, giving the victim a chance to flee. Immediately after downloading, it automatically sends an alert to the police with the exact location for urgent support.”
“In short, we have to discuss whether women threatened with death, in critical situations like the ones that have happened, where all security mechanisms break, may or may not have a last defense. In such a case, if that last defense is a request for help button or a non-lethal weapon that would give you valuable seconds to flee while help arrives, “concluded the candidate.
