WOMEN
> I learned from my children's karate classes 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. Last

safety workshop, and it jolted me. It was

Pat Malone, who has been a body guard for famous

Farrah Fawcett and Sylvester Stallone. He works for the FBI

teaches police officers and Navy SEALS hand-to-hand combat. This

man has seen it all, and knows a lot. He focused his teachings to us
on
HOW
> > TO AVOID BEING THE VICTIM OF A VIOLENT CRIME. He
gave us some statistics
> about how much the occurrences of random
violence have escalated over the
> recent years, and it's terrible.
Something like 99% of us will be exposed
> to, or become a victim of
a violent crime. Here are some of the most
> important points that I
got out of his presentation:
> (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 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.)
> 3.) ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.
(Stairwells are
> horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime
spot).
> 4.) If the predator has a gun and you are not under his
control, ALWAYS
> RUN!
>
> a.)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 lose his passenger side door. He
was sitting in the back on
> 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.
>
> 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 on to 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....better safe than sorry.
>
> PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT
SORRY! JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE
> YOUR
HEAD!!!
>
> Pass this along to every woman you have access to
and Never let your
> guard
