You find ways to keep your distance. Back away if you have to.
The most important thing is not to be within arms reach of someone. At that point you probably wonât have time to draw your weapon to defend yourself with.
The victim was trusting someone he didnât know not to be a savage. Thatâs the easiest way to get yourself killed. You should never trust anyone you donât know. Especially if they are approaching you.
He was completely unaware of the danger around him. Completely unaware of his surroundings or the possible intentions of the person he made contact with. He was assuming there was no danger in a place he had never really been to before. Aimless. Not paying attention.
He should have been in condition yellow at minimum. Taking notes of his surroundings, watching people and their movements, thinking about logical escape plans. Among other things.
Myself and my employee (not really an employee, more like best friend) went to Atlanta for a Trade Show.
We were a mile away from Mary Mac restaurant. OMG, what heaven their food is.
She wanted to call Uber. I said that is asinine it is only a mile! Letâs walk and take in the architecture.
Well, Shawanda was a bit more world wise than me. That was the most informative walk of my life. Homeless, drug addicts and you name it on that mile long walk. The one thing she told me, DO NOT LOOK AT ANYONE IN THE EYES.
She taught me a hell of a lot on that mile long walk. Welp, it was a 29 minute mile long walk because of bridges, etc.
She is one of my best friends. She is black, I am white and it doesnât matter. Weâve always looked out for one another and always will.
