YouTube has a great little series called Protect Your ASP, hosted by a husky guy named John. He shows different scenarios people are caught in and goes through showing us good and bad tactics, for if we are ever in a similar situation. Being that about 90% of them seem to be from Brazil, the best way to protect yourself is don't ever go to Brazil. Little joke aside, the bad guys over there seem to have a bad habit of running tandem on a scooter. It seems to happen all the time, they drive in front of a car and slow it down to a stop, go over aggressively and open the door. I don't understand why their doors are never locked, it that a US thing? Only about once or twice has the driver in the car have enough wits about him as to run over the shitty scooter and possibly the bad guy. Given the situation, if someone presents a gun or knife and is attempting to harm you in your car, the car can be a weapon, either hit them or drive away. Never open the door, nothing good comes from that.
Here in the US, the most dangerous places to encounter troublemakers seems to be the corner store/gas station. Maybe it is because places like these have the cameras, but I have never felt comfortable gassing up, specially with the bums here in Southpark Meadows who can't help themselves but ask for something, a lot of the time. I'm not going to say every time, but they do like to fish and make conversation, fuck that.
Watching these videos makes me feel like I should carry a weapon, but then the other side is that they seem to jam a lot on the bad guys when they are needed most. Is that because like their own lives, they don't really take care of them and they assume it'll work when they pull it out of their assholes, even if they never clean it? I know Boy takes all our rifles apart every time we go to the shooting range, which really, it has been awhile, but he cleans them meticulously, I mean, better than he does his room.
I really think people should watch these videos to pick up some safety lessons, such as: Be Aware- when in a sketchy environment, look around for shady characters. Lock your Doors- There have even been videos showing strangers trying random doors and they usually find an open door. Lock your house and your car, specially in the big city. I don't recommend stopping to help people on the side of the road, this especially for women, sorry, but this makes it too easy to get thrown in a stranger's car, for a female, small male. There is much to learn from these videos.
