things to do
in an emergency situation...

This is for you,
and for you to share
with your wife,
your children,
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 go
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.

a. If someone
is in the car
with a gun
to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine
and speed into anything,
wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is
in the back seat
they will get the worst of it.
As soon as the car crashes
bail out and run.
It is better than having them
find your body
in a remote location.

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,
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.






************* Here it is *******

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
He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls
by women saying that
they hear baby's cries
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 Saturday
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.
 
One thing I learned in a self defence class...
If you are being attacked by someone, chances are they won't have a gun. A very small percentage of rapists actually DO kill their victims, and rape while in possession of a weapon carries a much heaftier prison sentence than without.
Kick, scream, bite, do whatever you have to do. Just don't stay quiet because he "says" he has a gun!
 
A concealed handgun will go a long way in many of the situations mentioned above, but do get training and safety classes if you are interested in this route.

Also, running from someone who has a gun isn't necessarily good advice. If you start from within arms length and start running and then want to get you

1) You may or may not be able to outrun them and

2) Getting 5 feet away from someone who already has the draw on you... that isn't a hard shot.

3) Getting shot hurts. Even though it is not a vital organ, meaning death, it can often incapacitate you.


Before running, try to get the element of surprise on your side, or do it when you can get a little head start.



FWIW though, I don't know of any lady that can outrun me in a sprint (not trying to be sexist).


nccountrygirl, you sure are posting a lot of these e-mail type things.
 
Most of those are good suggestions but if you can't get the drop on someone I don't suggest running from someone with a gun. I can personally vouch for that one, it hurts and it will incapacitate you.
Make a lot of noise? Heck ya,, IF there is anyone around to hear you it works. I would rather die loudly and quickly than slowly and painfully.
Before I became a teacher I was reserve deputy and I also worked in a Federal prison. I learned a lot from the inmates, most of them liked me because I was fair and not a bully. They would tell me the best ways to live through certain circumstances.

I grew up in a very bad neighborhood. I can attest that a woman screaming and running down the street begging for help will be ignored because ppl are afraid to get involved.

But screaming FIRE gets attention !!!!

The crying baby thing creeped me out, ya know that lil shiver up your spine feeling.

Royicus, would you suggest I stop, they are purely harmless, but if only one of them can help some one in trouble then what's the harm. But in the best interest of the forum I will at least be more selective in my post.
