Serious Tips For Women on Protecting themselves

[TheLegacy]

Unfortunately this is NOT funny but things we should always. Keep in mind!

TIPS FROM POLICE .... This is a good reminder for all of us. You can never read this too many times!!

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

2. 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 p urse than you and he will go for the wallet or 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 car after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their cheque book 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, and in the back seat (and check out under the car as you approach).

B.) If you're 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 driv er'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! 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.

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 heard baby cries 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.

Please 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.

they say the statistics now are 1 in 3 women you know have been raped or sexually assaulted. I do know several women including some from my own family who have had this happen. PS: I also know men who have been raped as boys by men - some from the church.

so anytime I see someone being taken advantage of or abused I take it very seriously and will step in if I can

Good points...

To add on to it.... I took Muay Thai Kickboxing for a while and I highly suggest it.... for self defense, none of this aerobic mumbo jumbo.... The best thing I learned in that class is how to throw (and get hit by ) elbows.... So I shall pass on this tip to all of you...

To really put the elbow to use (as in crack someones skull wide open, in self defense of course) you must utilize the tip of the bone in your elbow... More than likely if you just throw your arm, you´ll just hit them with your forearm which is soft and spreads out the hit and wont do much.... so heres the tip:

As you move your arm to throw the elbow, keep your open palmfacing forward. This means your open palm swings down from around your face to right about your sternum..... Notice what this does to the bone.... It makes it point right out at your target.... Now with speed and force behind it.... you can use that pointy (and senseless) elbow to crack some heads....

Enjoy!
