Protect Yourself.....

Post by Rabbi Dali Rick » Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:25 pm

Crucial


Because of recent abductions in daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation...

This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone you know. After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about.

It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.


1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do:

The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!


2. Learned this from a tourist guide.

If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM...

Toss it away from you...

Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.

RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!


3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car:

Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.

This has saved lives.


4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS!

The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.

AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF.

Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.



5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat

b.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY (and better paranoid than dead).



6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be and the perfect crime spot. (This is especially true at NIGHT!)



7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 times in 100; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.

RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!



8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP

It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.



9. Another Safety Point:

Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.



10. Water scam!

If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full blast so that you will go out to investigate and then attack you.



Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors!



Please pass this on. This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.

It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..

I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it's better to be safe than sorry.




your bestest pal,

Some of this might have to be adapted, depending on the woman.

Some of these are good.

Besides elbows, kicks to the knee, and jabs to the eyes or throat are also very easily administered. Any vulnerable body part will do.

The crying baby lure is actually an urban legend, according to snopes, but it is a good example that staying vigilant is smart.

If at all possible, never get transported anywhere. Your odds of survival decrease dramatically once you are transported from the original crime scene.

Perps are often just seizing a moment they can't refuse. Walking around in a dark parking lot with talking on your cell looking oblivious just offers up an opportunity for them.
Being aware and assertive and looking AS IF you would fight back can be very effective.

Interesting post, Rebbi and thoughtful. Not sure how others feel but I actually prefer using the stairs because the elevator just opens up with advance warning to whoever is standing there whereas there are shadows or lighting that can warn you of another person's presence in a stairwell. Personal preference though not sure which is safer.

I'm thinking your gut instinct tells you when something is wrong with enough warning to walk back into a crowd or lighted area but you have to be listening to it - not talking on the cell phone.

This advice is for amateurs... I've already had my arms broken in four places. Not because I got attacked, but because I wanted four additional elbows installed. Now I can elbow anybody into submission before they can even flash a knife. And that's another thing. I don't just go slinking around elevators and parking lots waiting to get mugged. I stay in my vehicle... and drive my truck up the stairwell. If the legions of attackers hiding in the stairs happen to get run over, so be it. I'm scared shitless, but still alive. I only wish I could have an extra couple sets of teeth attached to my knees. But you can't be completely safe, I guess. Hey, wait... what the fuck was that noise? If I don't post again in 5 minutes, start shooting at anything that moves!!!1

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you
call up the guy and hold the burning fuse to the phone. "Hear that?" you
say. "That's dynamite, baby."

Try these articles:
http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles/ayoob65.html
http://www.backwoodshome.com/articles/ayoob63.html
etc.

You don't wave a piece of hardware around and expect a hardened criminal to be scared. He may even take it away, then rape and kill you for kicks.

Listen to Josey: "Now remember, things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is. "
