Please take the time to read this. I know you are smart enough to know
these pointers, but there will be some of you that will go... "Hmm, I must remember that!". After reading, forward it 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 so!
2.- I 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, he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse,
than in you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. "RUN LIKE HELL 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 DRIVE AWAY."
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 or
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
terrible 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 can 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, and that is when he abducted his next victim.
So why don't you forward this to all the women you know. It may save a
life. "A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle."
