Safety tips for women

Luba · 12-17-2005, 10:31 AM

Received this valuable advice in an E-mail

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Tourist guide from New Orleans states: 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 your 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. 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.

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, and in the back seat.
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. 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. RUN, Preferably in a zig-zag pattern!

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 th sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

****************Here it is*******************

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."

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 when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.

Great tips.

yeah those are good, i slighly disagree about the elbow, i think a knee to the groin is more effective.

The running from the guy with a gun is true, people get tunnel vision when they are shooting at people and tend to miss, a police officer at 10 feet has an accuracy of less then 10% so some random criminal is even lower.

And with a lot of patience

And swear with your mouth away from the phone, so poor Luba does not think she is driving you completely insane.

Actually, Vautrin, I will be right beside him when he is explaining this to me...so I will hear all the swearing when his patience runs out!

If I'm back to posting before New Years Eve, you'll know things didn't go well and I had to take the earliest bus back home
