Learning from Victims

Mug-In On Porch

A woman, sitting on her Orange County FL home’s front porch in October 2008, saw three men walking on the sidewalk that goes past her house. Her intuition sensed a foreboding of the men, yet for some reason she ignored her gut feelings and waited for the men to pass by before going inside. The men stopped for a moment in front of her house, quickly whispered amongst themselves, then suddenly rushed onto her porch, pointed a gun at her face, and pushed her inside her home. She told them she had no money and begged them to leave. Then her husband appeared from another room. The gunman shot him dead and the three evil men fled.

There are 5 ways to invade a home: Break-In, Walk-In, Scam-In, Push-In, and Mug-In – which is what happened above.

Since hindsight is 20/20, it’s easy to see that this senseless, barbaric crime is one more example of the common mistake of ignoring your “sixth sense” and hoping for the best. On the other hand, you’ll see examples of folks narrowly avoiding criminal predators by heeding their gut feelings at Criminal Minds - Intuition.
