TIPS ON STAYING SAFE AND ALIVE...FOR WOMEN
*this is from an email received*
Karate classes teach that the elbow is the strongest point on your
body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
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.
(1.) The three reasons women are easy targets for random acts of
violence are:
(a.) Lack of Awareness: You MUST know where you are & what's going on
around you.
(b.) Body Language: Keep your head up, swing your arms, stand straight up.
(c.) Wrong Place, Wrong Time: DON'T walk alone in an alley, or drive in a
bad neighborhood at night.
(2.) 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 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.) A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking
garage: 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. (Better
paranoid than dead.)
(3.) ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are
horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
(a.) Do not get on an elevator if there is a weirdo already on there.
(Of course bad men don't always look bad).
(b.) Do not stand back in the corners of the elevator; be near the front,
by the doors, ready to get off or on.
(c.) If you get on the elevator on the 25th floor, and the Boogie Man gets
on the 22nd, get off when he gets on and wait for another elevator.
(4) If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS
RUN!
(a.) Police make only 4 of 10 shots when they are in range of 3-9
feet. This is due to stress.
(b.) 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!
(5.) As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get
you raped, or killed.
(a.) 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.
(b.) Pat Malone told us the story of his daughter, who came out of the mall
and was walking to her car when she noticed 2 older ladies in front of
her. Then she saw a police car come towards her with cops who said
hello. She also noticed that all 8 handicap spots in the area were
empty. As she neared her car she saw a man a few rows over calling to her
for help. He wanted her to close his passenger side door. He was sitting
in the driver's side, and said he was handicapped. He continued calling,
until she turned and headed back to the mall, and then he began cursing at
her. In the meantime, she wondered why he didn't ask the 2 older
ladies, or
the policeman for help, and why he was not parked in any of the empty
handicap
spots. As she got back to the mall, two male friends of hers were exiting,
and as she told them the story, and turned to point at the car, the man was
in the back seat, and quickly moved back to the front and sped away.
