For Females |
|
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. |
|
The three reasons women are
easy targets for random acts
of violence are: |
1) |
Lack of Awareness -
You MUST know where you
are & what's going on around
you. |
2) |
Body Language -
Keep your head up, swing
your arms, stand straight
up. |
3) |
Wrong Place, Wrong Time -
DON'T walk alone in an
alley, or drive in a bad
neighborhood at night. |
|
|
ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
(Stairwells are
horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.)
Do not get on an elevator if
there is a weirdo already on
there. (Of course bad men
don't always look bad.) Do
not stand back in the
corners of the elevator. Be
near the front, by the
doors, ready to get off or
on. If you get on the
elevator on the 25th floor,
and the Boogie Man gets on
the 22nd, get off when he
gets on. Don't ride the
elevator with him if you are
not comfortable. |
|
If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his
control, ALWAYS RUN!
Police only make 4 of 10
shots when they are in range
of 3-9 feet. This is due to
stress. 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! |
|
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,
which is when he abducted
his next victim.
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 officers 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 getting out of the back
seat into the front, and the
car sped away. DON'T GET
CAUGHT IN THIS TRAP. |

Tips to saving your life, if
you have gotten into a
violent situation |
REACT IMMEDIATELY |
If he abducts you in a
parking lot, and is taking
you to an abandoned area,
DON'T LET HIM GET YOU TO
THAT AREA. If you are
driving, react immediately
in the situation, and crash
your car while still going 5
mph. If he's driving, find
the right time, and stick
your fingers in his eyes. He
must watch the road, so
choose an unsuspecting time,
and gouge him. It is your
ONLY defense. While he is in
shock, GET OUT. This sounds
gross, but the alternative
is worse if you do not act. |
|
RESIST |
Don't go
along with him: Run, if you
are able: DON'T EVER GIVE
UP! You DO NOT want to get
to a crime scene. |
Always keep your distance
when walking past strangers
on the street or in dark
areas. |
|
GET A CELL PHONE |
There are packages for
$19.95 a month that allow
you to program only 911 into
the dialing out program.
(This is an alternative for
parents who say it is too
expensive for their kids to
have a cell phone.) |
|
BREAK DOWNS: |
Make
every effort to avoid this
by ALWAYS keeping your carin
good working order. If your
car breaks down |
LOCK YOUR DOORS |
You better have a cell phone
to call for help. If you
don't have a cell phone:
(shame on you) keep a
blanket, warm clothes, a
pair of boots, and a
flashlight in your car
always, for emergencies.
If it's noon on a business
day, you may want to put
your hazards on and walk to
safety. If it's 2 AM, put on
your warm clothes, and walk
to a lighted area. You are a
perfect target if you are
sitting in your car broken
down. Predators search the
highways for easy targets
like you.
If you're on a desolate
road: walk away from the car
(in your warm clothes) and
go to some bushes, or some
area AWAY from your
vehicles. It will be cold,
and uncomfortable, but you
DO NOT want to stay in your
car, and there are no psycho
bogeymen waiting in the
bushes who knew you were
going to break down there
and then.
Physical defenses that we
can use against the violent
predator: The EYES are the
most vulnerable part of the
body. Poke him there HARD.
It may be your only window
of opportunity.
The neck is also a
vulnerable spot, but you
MUST know where to grip, AND
HAVE THE STRENGTH to cut off
his breath. Punch him in the
throat to cut off his air
supply.
The last place is the KNEES.
Everyone's knees are very
vulnerable, and a swift kick
here will take anyone down.
**** A cautionary note about
these things. If you do not
do these things right the
first time, youare in
trouble, because it will
only anger the individual,
and that anger will be TAKEN
OUT ON YOU. I'm not saying
don't attempt them, it may
be your only hope, but be
forceful when you do.
If you are walking alone in
the dark (which you
shouldn't be) and you find
him following/chasing you:
Scream "FIRE!" and not
"help"; People
don't want to get involved
when people yell "help" but
"fire" draws attention
because people are nosy.
RUN!
Find an obstacle, such as a
parked car, and run around
it, like Ring Around the
Rosie. This may sound silly,
but over the years, 5 women
have told Pat Malone that
this SAVED THEIR LIVES. Your
last hope is getting under
the car. Once you are under
there, there are tons of
things to hold onto, and he
will not be able to get you
out and will not come under
for you (most likely).
Usually they give up by this
point. The catch here is
that
YOU MUST PRACTICE GETTING
UNDER THE CAR.
You must have a plan (he
will have one); know if you
will be going on your back,
front, from the side or back
of the car. It must be
practiced.
Never let yourself or anyone
that you know be the
"closer" in any type of
business (bar, store,
restaurant, gas station).
Pat knew Danielle, who was a
girl that just died from
being shot point blank by
some kids while she was
closing at the local gas
station. He talked with her
the night before she died,
and asked whether it ever
scared her to close alone.
She said, "Yes, but I'll be
allright, Pat. I'll be all
right." She wasn't. Our
world is not as safe as we
pretend that it is, and
living in our fantasy worlds
WILL get us in trouble,
sooner or later. Pat Malone
said again and again that
the women who die EVERY
MINUTE from violent crimes
expected to go to bed
tonight, and get up
tomorrow. No one expects
it,but we must be prepared
and aware so that we
HAVE A PLAN. BE PREPARED TO
ACT! AND ACT HARD! HAVE A
PLAN!
I would encourage you to
pass this on to all women,
not just your friends and
family, but everybody. We
all need to hear it. For you
and to share with your
family, especially the
women. |
