ROAD RAGE

ROAD-RAGE LEADS TO AGENT’S DEATH
Miramar FL - U.S. border protection agent Donald Pettit died as the result of a road rage incident. The police report said both Pettit and James Patrick Wonder, the man charged with his murder, exchanged obscene gestures with each other as they drove along Dykes Road. Wonder, 65, pulled into the post office parking lot first. Pettit then pulled into the parking lot. As they argued some more, Wonder pulled a gun from his waistband and shot Pettit in the head. Wonder "was rushing late to his appointment for his dialysis," police said.

PSYCHOPATHS

Psychopaths are even scarier than you might think. Men who scored high on a psychopathic personality questionnaire had an unusual ability to recall sad females. The authors conclude that psychopaths are deeply attuned to vulnerability. [From Wilson, K. et al., "A Pawn by Any Other Name? Social Information Processing as a Function of Psychopathic Traits," Journal of Research in Personality]
Excerpted from The Boston Globe – 31 August 2008

ENHANCING YOUR OPTIONS

It’s impossible to fully anticipate the panicky chaos of a sudden threat forcing you to make split-second life-and-death decisions. Nonetheless, understanding your options now will help your Intuition choose an option then.

Pepper Spray & a Noisemaker visibly ready will greatly enhance your first option – Posturing as a tough target – and probably deter a predator immediately. Your fifth option – Fighting – is enhanced as well.

For convenience, learn self-defense ONLINE:

kravmagatv.com

KRAV MAGA, a practical self-defense system used by many police forces worldwide, teaches you to defend yourself, enhances your survival instinct, and can be applied under extreme stress. It's not flashy, just very effective. I highly recommend it. The Krav Maga TV - Online Training videos are especially convenient to learn at home when your schedule allows or if you don't live near a training center.
