Abduction Precautions for Women
I just had this email forwarded to me and wanted to pass it on to all the gals here.. the baby one is *very* scary I think..
Abduction Precautions for Women
We can now add to the list of victims the retired 77 yr. old TCU professor from Ft Worth whose body was found last week in Oklahoma--and the 11 yr.old in Sarasota, FL. Because of these recent abductions in daylight hours, refresh yourself of these 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 this, 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. 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.
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, in the back seat and underneath the car.
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).
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!
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.
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 crying 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.
I also carry my keys in my hand so that I can get into my car quickly. And so I can more effectively gouge the eyes out of anyone who tries to fuck with me.
also keep in mind your chances of being killed by a serial killer (baby recording or not) are about as likely as being hit by a metor..
but by all means, stay paranoid, I prefer the company of the insane anyway.. :)
Of course walking around with a skull might have the same effect, we had those sitting around also.
Its always better to be safe... and chances are your either going to die of aheart attack, cancer, or get killed by a vehicle.
Really, we should put slightly more trust in the average person, I think it would go a long way (to promote communities, peace and stability neighborliness blah blah). Anyways, if you're going to be murdered, it will be your husband/boyfriend (Or your father).
Also..
I felt I should share a quote with you from everyone's favorite Nazi Hermann Göring; (This is one reason why I'm vehemently opposed to this culture of bullshit)
Göring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece.
Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.
Göring: Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
And I apologize now for turning your post into a rant =/
On the other hand, I keep it in the back of my mind, but worrying over something like this I wouldnt. And being paranoid I dont agree with. You cant change anything by worrying about it. So why do it?
Seriously though, my father was always paranoid, would never sit with his back to a window, watched everyone in a public place, would go over what if scenarios with us and such like that. Its good to be prepared but if you let it worry you too much then you stop living for being afraid.
I walk..at night..alone.. wee hours of the morning. I do carry a large walking stick. I've encountered more dogs than mean scary men.. a couple of really bad drivers as well, but that's beside the point.
A side note: No policeman has ever stopped to ask why I was walking down the road at say 4 am. Once during the day a random guy did pull his car next to me and leaned over to ask me if I was ok. I said that I was and had just come from the store. Oh ok, you need a ride? Nope, I like walking, thanks. With that he smiled and drove on. I 'could' believe he was trying to get me into his car, but I prefer to think he was being a concerned citizen who was worried that my car broke down somewhere and that I might need a ride.
men of course will laugh and say this is silly and demean it! but know whats funny? all the stuff in the warnings have happened before. common sense? not always, people burn themselves on hot coffee and then sue cuz it was hot. i'd rather hear about how to stay safe a 100 million times then never hear it at all. Rather be paranoid than dead, there is a point when its controlling you, but by far spreading the word on ways to stay safe really isnt feeding hysteria.
/hug temprah, my mom has sent me this in a email before but it is always good to be refreshed and reminded not to be blind in the world. Whether its a serial killer commin up on you with a gun or your husband its still good to know his chances are 4/100 to hit you!
That was rule number one in our class. Never have both of your hands full. You will always forget to drop the stuff to defend yourself.
And they taught us the SING method. ;)
B.) Always carry your keys bunched up in your hadn in the parking lot. If your attacked or confronted, use them to poke/jab/stab the assaliant in the eye. If you don't have keys use your fingers/nails/baseball bat. If you hit someone in the eye it tears up and they can't see. So they can't shoot, see, or run effectively because their depth perception is off. Also no matter how tough you are, if you get jabbed in the eye hard, you will fucking cry like a little bitch.
Where did I learn this trick? Its how you topple 300+ pound guys in rugby, because at 175 I didn't stand a chance against the guys in the scrum. Also works well in bar fights!
STAB THE EYE!!!!!
---or---
get short lenght of chain.
get hand granade.
feed chain through circular pin on hand granade.
clasp around neck.
if anyone looks at you funny, grab granade and pull.
throw granade.
use entire box of wet naps to remove impending gore.
replace granade.
repeat as nessassary. (good at clearing the line at the DMV also!)
