Your Failure to Act Makes You an Easy Target for Criminals

Expect the Unexpected

Being A Victim

Although a lot of the times I was a victim, violence came from unknowing individuals or when I initiated contact in trying to protect others who were weaker. Most of the time, it came from someone I knew or a family member.

In hindsight, I can look back and use what I have learned since then to help others in their life. I have collected a small, but informational list of where a self defensive tool might come into good use. Not having at least a can of pepper spray could mean the difference between a theft, a beating or rape, or even your life.


Why Am I Anxious To Share This With You?

I am a Christian. I am not a perfect Christian. I have had many times in my past where I could have interjected my past experiences to others who suffered from being a victim but I didn't. It wasn't until a few weeks ago, I was visiting a church in Clinton, Tennessee, when the Pastor brought a message that essentially was taken by me as "The Devil will keep you from telling others about your experience in order to pull you down, or beat you down. When you fail to tell others, the Devil wins."


Share Your Knowledge

You might know a lot about finances, or about being a Mom or Dad, or in my case, self defense. Don't keep this information to yourself. You may think it is so trivial, you don't feel like sharing it with others, but trust me, people can use it. When you don't share your knowledge so others can learn from your mistakes, the Devil wins.

  • You might be dealing with different types of stalking
    • erotomania
    • love obsessional
    • vengeance and terrorism
    • cyberstalking
    • simple obsession over a girl or guy
  • alcohol and drug abusers needing money
  • domestic assaults between people you know and your stuck in the middle
  • dating violence
  • you cross paths with someone with anger management issues
  • a person with antisocial personalities being forced into social interactions
  • someone who has a criminal history
  • someone who has a history of neglect
  • you cross paths of pedophiles
  • psychopaths off medication or wrongly diagnosed
  • bullys
  • mental abuse of victims (starts off simple and more of a test to see how far he or she can take it)
  • teen dating violence
  • homeless persons or criminals seeking a chance to better themselves and are willing to do whatever it takes to do so

I hope you learned something from what I shared here today. I would appreciate you sharing, liking, and subscribing to my blog. You never know what difference your gonna make in someone else's life just by clicking a few buttons on your computer and sharing. I have included a few links below if you are looking for something to continue on the path to surviving an encounter.
