Tips on Staying Safe
- Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point
on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
- Learned 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 and he will go for
the wallet/purse. RUNLIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
- 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.
- People 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.
- A few notes about getting into your carin 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. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER
TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
- ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells
are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
- 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!
- Wome tend to be sympathetic: STOP! It may get you, or
a woman you are about, 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.
