Just picked up some food at the local 7/11, and noticed they are selling some kind of electronic security gadget. Push a button to call for help to your location.
This is a safe country, and a safe part of the country. I wouldn't have imagined there was a market for something like this. Something fucky going on.
You're reading too much into it. It's called Push Button Emergency Help, it's intended to be used for medical emergencies. Primarily for senior citizens. Imagine you're having a stroke, fall down, etc... you're in serious pain and can't really talk...
