This is a True Story that teaches:

ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS

On Wednesday December 17, 2008, my wife and I were leaving the Publix grocery store at about 8:45 pm. Because of a stroke, I was using an electric cart and was a few feet ahead of my wife, Gladys. When I reached my car, I looked back toward her and noticed a young fellow dressed in black Gothic attire. He was walking directly toward her. I looked straight at him and said to my wife, “Get your pepper spray ready.” At that moment the young punk turned and walked off in another direction. He had seen that I was in no condition to give chase and Gladys would have been helpless to a purse snatcher. I am convinced that he was looking for an easy target, but thanks to God’s protection and pepper spray we were not helpless at all. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of being aware of your surroundings and be prepared with some form of self defense.

A new way to abduct females.

Please be aware and pass it on.

Sunday around 5 PM I headed into the Target in Philadelphia, in an area of town where crime is rare. As I began walking in, an elderly lady shouted to me from the passenger seat of a car.

"Ma'am, you must help me, help me please, help me please!"

I looked at her and started towards her, when all of a sudden

I remembered an email from my Mom about rapists and abductions using elderly people to lure women.

I paused, memorized the license plate and immediately headed into Target to get a manager to help. While the woman manager went to check it out, I kept a close watch to be sure nothing happened. As she got close the back door of the car flew open and a man jumped out and stuck a gun to her stomach. I yelled out "call 911!" fortunately a policeman had seen the entire thing and was able arrest the two criminals.

By God's grace everyone was all right, although we were both shaken up. I would not have left an elderly person who needed help. If it weren't for the e-mail I had read last week I could have been their victim. So I wanted to pass this along so you would be aware that you really cannot trust anyone these days.

You just never know when something like this could happen.

Always be aware of your surroundings!!!

They also use children to lure their victims!! Please be aware and pass it on to anyone you think this will help.

This was checked with Snopes.com

This morning on talk radio we heard about a man on I 85 near Charlotte, North Carolina who saw a baby car seat on the side of the road with a baby blanket over it. The man did not stop but called 911.

It has been said that gangs use this method to get a woman to stop to check it out and then they drag her into a nearby wooded area where they rape her. According to Snoops this type of thing is false. But Snoops is not always right. Better SAFE than sorry!

Know what money you are carrying.

Criminals are coming up with craftier, less threatening methods of attack, so we have to be extra cautious..

I live in Alexandria , VA , but I often work in Lafayette , LA . There is a serial killer in the Lafayette area and I want to let you know about an 'incident' that happened to me a few weeks ago.

Since I work in a jail and I told a few people about it, I was call into Internal Affairs to tell them my story.

It was approximately 5:15 a.m. When I stopped at the an Exxon station for gas. I took into the store two $5 bills and one $1 bill for a coke. As I pulled away from the store, a man approached my truck from the back side of the store (an unlit area). He was an 'approachable-looking' man (clean cut, clean shaven, dressed well, etc..). He walked up to my window and knocked . Since I'm very paranoid and 'always looking for the rapist or killer,' I didn't open the window.

I just asked what he wanted. He raised a $5 bill and said, 'You dropped this.' Since I knew I had gone into the store with a certain amount of money, I knew I hadn't drop it.

When I told him it wasn't mine, he began hitting the window and screaming at me to open my door, and insisting that I had dropped the money! At that point, I drove away as fast as I could.

After talking to the Internal Affairs Department and describing the incident it was determined that I could have possibly encountered the serial killer myself.

The fact that he has been attacking in the daytime, when women are less likely to be on guard, means he is pretty BOLD.

So think about it...what gesture is nicer than returning money (or some other valuable) to someone that dropped it?????

How many times would you have opened your window (or door) to get your money and say, “thank you”.... Because if the person is kind enough to return something to you, then they can't really be a threat....can they????

Please be cautious! This might not have been the serial killer.... But any one that gets that angry over someone not accepting money can't have honorable intentions. What might have happened if I had opened my door? I shudder to think!

"10 Powerful Self Defense Tips For Women"

(Fri Sep 22nd, 2006, by Gary Simpson, a policeman)

In the USA, every two minutes a woman is being raped.

Increasing personal safety ALWAYS commences with awareness.

Since most women fear attacks of a sexual nature more than anything else most of my quick tips are geared towards that.

If you are a woman, here is a list of ten simple things that you can do immediately that will increase your safety:

1 - Do not wear the type of clothing that will attract unwanted attention especially from those with evil intent. Be discrete.

2 - Trust your instincts. If you think a situation might be dangerous avoid that place.

3 - If an assault happens, use your fingernails to gouge your attacker's cheek. It marks him for identification and you will have DNA under your nails.

4 - Drive your motor vehicle in a courteous manner. Nobody appreciates rude hand signs. Remember - eventually you have to stop, even if it is to refuel. Psycho cases might follow you for many miles "just to teach you a lesson" - all because you made yourself a target to their twisted minds. The reason I include this one, as a young driver I made a driver angry and he followed me and gave me a piece of his mind. It was a frightening situation.

5 - Excessive drinking, taking mind altering drugs, and leaving ANY food or drink unattended where it may be tampered can be a recipe for disaster.

6 - NEVER pick up hitch-hikers and ABSOLUTELY NEVER hitch-hike yourself.

7 - If you live alone, make sure your mail is addressed by your first initial followed by your surname. Letters and parcels are seen by many individuals. Make your address nondescript as to your sex or marital status. Don't allow anybody even one extra piece of information about youself.

8 - When alone, avoid dark or isolated areas. Predators love these locations.

9 - Many sexual assaults are committed by people who the victims knew - or, at least, thought they knew! Be friendly and polite but be looking for tell-tale signs of "strange" behavior. Be firm about any unwanted attention, particularly in the work place.

10 - Sexual assaults are usually preceded by visual signs, which are usually preceded by some verbal approach before the physical action. Recognize the sequence: the look - the talk - the approach.

Ladies walking or jogging

Each year thousands of individuals go hiking in our national parks. We all grieve as we hear of the young vibrant Georgia woman who went hiking in the Dawson National Forest only to disappear. Her body was found almost a week later.

She did so many things right. She brought her dog. She told her friends where she was going to jog and when to expect her back. She was jogging in a high traffic area. She carried identification. She was athletic and had studied self defense.

A woman is no match for a grown man.

May we reiterate?

· Hike with a friend

· Trust your instincts, if you feel uncomfortable, move on.

· Don’t talk to strangers

· Don’t camp or spend time near road crossings.

· Inform friends or officials where you are going & when you are expected back.

· STAY ON THE TRAIL

· Carry a map & a compass and know how to use it.

· Carry a whistle

· If a stranger asks if you are alone, say your friends are just behind or ahead of you.

· Don’t depend on a cell phone, as they are unreliable in the woods

Consider carrying Pepper Spray for your Self Defense. Firearms are prohibited in most State & National Parks.

Purse Snatching

Purse snatching is becoming a more serious crime. Two years ago in Greenville, SC, an older lady was leaving the mall after Christmas shopping, when her purse was grabbed by someone who was in a car. Because she would not let go of her purse, she was dragged and not only lost her purse but lost her life.

Greenville, SC, About 9:45 a.m. Thursday, July 24th 2008 a man approached a woman outside Belk's at the mall and twice demanded her purse, An incident report states, "She told him no and went inside the store to alert security."

Fifteen minutes later, the man snatched a purse from a Greenville woman in the parking lot of the Woodruff Road Wal-Mart, authorities said. He reached into her cart and grabbed the purse.

The woman's 13-year-old son grabbed the purse, but the strap broke and the man ran away, authorities said.

Here are some suggestions:

1. BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS. Look people in the eye. This gives you an air of confidence that crooks avoid as they know you would be able to identify them.

2. Don't go shopping alone if at all possible.

3. Don't go shopping after dark.

4. Try to park close to the store. Avoid parking garages if possible.

5. If a purse snatching occurs, release your purse if the suspect attempts to force it from you. It is not worth being injured as a basic ambulance visit is around $500.

6. Never carry your Social Security card as this information gives instant information for identity theft.

7. Limit the number of credit cards you carry thus giving the thief fewer options

8. Maintain a list of the credit cards with this information

Credit card Number
Type: Visa, Mastercard
Issuing Institution such as the name of the bank
Emergency contact # to cancel the card if it is stolen

9. If you cell phone is stolen or even lost you will need this information

The cell phone number
Company providing the service
The Brand of phone.
The Serial # is most important
Model number
Some people scratch their DL number under the batteries.

A man told a police officer how his cell phone had been stolen and someone ran up a $2500. bill and the phone company wants him to pay it.

10. The type of purse you carry, Consider a smaller purse, carried up under your arm with shorter straps or even a fanny pack.

11. Never leave your purse in your car where it is visable or put it in your trunk while people can see you place it there. A crook can break into the car and open your trunk.

12. The night of the purse snatching the news broadcast said to lock your purse strap into the baby seat strap.

13. Before you put away your groceries or packages put your purse away in a safe place like under the passenger seat with the nearest door locked. It is while you are distracted with packages a purse snatcher can do his dirty work. This happened in Greenville just this week. 10/08

On April 26 talk radio was discussing the case of police uniforms and equiipment being stolen out of police cars.

Question to be asked, Why do these men want police uniforms?

What harm could be done by someone impersonating a policeman?

ANDERSON, SC -- April 26, 2011

Deputies say four Anderson County Sheriff’s cars were broken into and thieves took guns, uniforms and bulletproof vests.

The first theft happened Wednesday.

Three of the cars were unmarked vehicles. The fourth was marked.

Reports from the department say that among the weapons stolen were handguns and a shotgun.

Deputies say all of the cars were at the home of off-duty deputies when the thefts occurred.

Anderson County Sheriff John Skipper says he is not sure if the vehicles were specifically targeted or if the crimes were random.

Chad McBride with the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office says at least one other Upstate agency, theDepartment of Natural Resources, also had a truck broken into recently.

DNR Sgt. Rhett Barwick, says Monday that an unmarked truck was broken into at the Green Pond boat ramp about three weeks ago. The officer locked the truck, got out to help someone and came back to find his back window smashed.

A shotgun and a marked DNR vest was stolen.

Barwick says someone tried to pull the blue lights off the top of the car.

What could a man do who is impersonating a policeman? This is a frightening

prospect. The stealing of police equipment is not an isolated incident. One similar

to this happened in Virginia.

The question is what should you do?

Do not stop in an isolated area. Make sure there are people present.

What to do in case of an attack

1. Be aware of people around you. Criminals pick a casual location to look for someone to attack. They will look keep their eye on their victim longer than normal. They will move right along with their victim. They will look for witnesses. They may may pass by the victim several times watching how she will react or plan how he is going to attack. Be Alert to these things!

2. Stay with people, go to people. STAY where others can see you. His worst fear is being caught, so you should drop to the ground becoming dead weight. If you are in your house or another location that is private, you need to GO to people. His worst fear is being caught -- run to a neighbor’s. Drive your car where there are lights and others.

3. Keep a barrier between you and the bad guy. Use a barrier to block him or use distance to gain time. Keep your doors locked. Stay in your car. Force him to get through a barrier before he can get to you. Use a barrier of pepper spray. The more difficult you make it, the more time it takes him and that means he might be discovered.

4. Attract attention. Often they say "don't scream or I'll kill you". He's telling you exactly what you should do. Create a disturbance, scream, throw things, blow the horn. Even yell "fire" to attract attention. Appeal to his fear of getting caught.

5. Control his hips and his hands. Control his hips to prevent penetration. If you can get your feet on his hips you can control the distance between the two of you. His hands are the weapons he will use against you. He will hit you, slap you, stab you or shoot you, but he has to use his hands to do the damage.

6. Use your strongest weapons against his weakest targets. His weakest targets are the most valuable to you, his eyes, throat, groin and knees are your primary targets. Your secondary targets are his face and his abdomen. Strong weapons that you can use are kicking with the bottom of your feet, your elbows, fists and palm heel strikes.

Pepper Spray & Its Use

This was an interview with a police officer in Texas

Women should carry pepper spray for protection, but they also should learn the proper way to use it, police say. Experts advise keeping canisters away from children and learning the proper way to use them. Police believe pepper spray could save lives. It is especially good for women as it is so * easy to use, * non-lethal * yet incapacitating — as long as they are not using it as a weapon, which is a crime. Pepper spray’s active ingredient is a derivative of cayenne peppers. When it comes in contact with the eyes, nose, throat or lungs, it causes temporary blindness and instant inflammation of the breathing tube tissues for about 20 minutes. (We sell a wide variety of Pepper Sprays) Once you buy a can of pepper spray, you should first test it. “The content of the bottle is in the aerosol form, and the propellant liquid is under pressure, Sometimes the bottle leaks the pressure out, and testing your bottle periodically is absolutely necessary.” The bottle should also be tested to know how close you need to be to your assailant for it to be effective. The next step is to practice your shooting technique. Keeping your eyes open, yell “stop” as you shoot the pepper spray at the assailant’s face for two seconds. After spraying, you should move out of the way of the spray and get away. Pepper spray can take a few seconds to cause a reaction, and you may need to spray again. You can also try moving your hand from side to side while you spray to create a very heavy blast of pepper. It is vital to plan ahead how you are going to use your Pepper Spray. Make sure you always carry your Pepper Spray in the same place to keep it accessible.

The Streetwise stun gun is a self defense device which disrupts the message the brain sends to the voluntary muscles.
* Simply touching an attacker with a stun gun for three to five seconds will deliver a high voltage shock causing loss of balance and muscle control, confusion, and disorientation bringing him to his knees and making him incapable of further aggressive activity.
* Full recovery takes about five to ten minutes and there is no permanent harm.
* Streetwise brand stun guns have MORE FEATURES than any other stun gun on the market.
