About 1pm a young lady 28y/o was attacked and lost her eye near the Abraham Lincon Avenue Atracadores disparan en rostro de una joven para quitarle jeepeta, pierde ojo y peligra su visi?n completa | Noticias SIN - Servicios Informativos Nacionales
This brought me to the question - how do you react when attacked? I'd love to share some useful tips. Feel free to add on to the list.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Some people 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! 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.
4. 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. Many killers and rapists 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 police officer to walk you back out - don't just pickout any officer. 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. So RUN! Preferably in a zig-zag pattern!
8. Some people are sympathetic to strangers. 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.
Beware of any suspicious driving infront or behind you AND always roll up your windows!
