We can now add to the list of victims the retired 77yr. old TCU professor from Ft whose body was found week in Oklahoma--and the 11 yr. old in Sarasota, FL. Because of these 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 and 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 in 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 g 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.
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. This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, the military teaches 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, 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. Hesaid they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's outside their doors when they're home alone at night. Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby.
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America's Most Wanted this past 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. Fluffy Bunny responds: I had a big rant at my female boss a few years ago when she sent round this chain mail. One of my pet hates is how there's this tendency to think of women as victims. It mainly comes from worried parents who feel powerless to protect their child, but what it actually does it leave the woman with a victim mentality and therefore makes them more likely to be attacked. What a lot of people don't seem to realise is that a woman can be just a good a fighter as a man. It's not all about physical strength. Women often have greater flexibility and are more imaginative in their strikes. As with anyone, male or female, you each have to find your own way of fighting based around your personal body shape. So someone who is tall and gangly can keep an opponent at bay, someone who is shorter will have to learn to dart in and out through an opponent's guard. As far as I'm concerned Wing Chun is the most effective martial art for anyone, and it was invented by a woman.
My personal advice is this:
1. Actually it's Thai boxing that makes the most use of the elbows and knees. They see punches and kicks as just softening up the opponent. From personal experience, don't expect the first punch to knock them out if adrenaline is coursing through their body. It may just get them mad. Follow through with the attack until you are sure that you are safe, but do not use excessive force as you also have to think about your own legal position. But if you aren't used to the idea of striking, then remember, everyone can BITE and no one likes being bitten! The opponent will do all (s)he can to get away from you.
2. When being mugged, chuck your wallet or purse aside and as their eyes instinctively follow it, poke them in the eyes and if you do it properly (wing chun helps here), simultaneously kick their front knee with your front foot without leaning back. If they block your attack then they will definitely not be seeing the kick about to smash away their balance. Then proceed to rip their throat out. Remember, if they get away with your money without any hassle it will encourage them to do it again to someone else.
3. If anyone tries throwing you into a trunk of a car, start biting away at their jugular like a rabid dog. Chase after them, barking and growling as you go when they inevitably run away.
4. Don't be paranoid about getting into your own car. If someone opens the door to get into the passenger side, smash their head against the dashboard while they are sitting down. They won't expect this and with any luck you might set off the airbag. If you fail to do this, switch on the engine and start driving into things at high speed laughing as you go.
5. Again if anyone attacks you, remember that everyone has soft vulnerable squishy bits. Forget about the groin as this will still leave a few seconds before the pain hits and they will most likely be very aware of potential attacks to this area. But everyone has eyes, a jugular, jaw bones that can be disconnected and a solar plexus which if hit hard and fast will make them either lose consciousness or vomit. Martial art classes such as Kali, Jeet Kune Do or Akido can show how you can put them in painful locks that will not damage them but will leave them incapacitated through the fear of pain. These do not require any particular strength. A Thai kick to the front of their thighs is also very effective at immobilising them without damage. Alternatively, smash their face in.
6. Get used to silently walking around at night and be the one that scares everyone else. I find sticking your face right up to theirs and genuinely relishing the opportunity to get across your point in a physically persuasive manner makes them wonder whether there's something they don't know that perhaps they should. Scum don't like it when things don't go to plan and there's a real threat of danger to themselves. Remember, these are cowards we are talking about.
7. It has also been proven by police working in Beijing at the turn of the last centuary ( a very tough and violent place at the time) that you can be really far away (can't remember the exact distance, but somewhere along the lines of 10 metres) and rush someone before they can withdraw their holster. But yes, if they have a gun and you aren't wearing high heels then run. Alternatively if you are in a country that is silly enough to allow guns, then pull out your own gun and start shooting at them.
8. Remember your humanity and don't stop being sympathetic just because there is a one in a million chance that it might be a serial killer. Yes, stay switched on at all times anyway and be observant but don't let fear ruin your life as the original chain mail suggests. And if they are a serial killer then they get off on power. Punch them in the throat and as they're laying on the ground in agony gasping for breath get your foot on their sexual organs and ask them why they should keep them.
9. There's the sound of a baby crying outside your flat. Go outside to check it's a baby (it might be). The moment you see a man with a stereo, either shut the door and report it, or grab the man and stick the tape player somewhere where a nurse with surgical gloves will be required to switch it off.
