Please take the
time to read this. I know you are smart enough to know these pointers
but there will be some, where you will go "hmm I must
remember that".
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 to New Orleans: 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.
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.
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 alone and the perfect crime spot).
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 in 100 times; And even
then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we
are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! 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.
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 safe
than sorry.
