PERSONAL SECURITY: Fool Me Once, Shame On Me
May there be no surprise… about your security.
Surprise is a killer.
Alfred de Vigny’s famous poem “The Wolf’s Death” is about stoicism. Yet the inevitable doom coming from surprise is magnificently captured in one striking verse:
“he knew he was doomed because he was surprised.”
Surprise is almost always deadly in terms of security. Surprise, your opponents know is a key element of their victory. It is at best extremely difficult to recover from surprise; most of the time the recovery occurs in another place.
Negligence is the best environment for surprise to grow. As the problem with security is that most of the time nothing happens, many find acceptable to lower the security budgets, requirements and most importantly their attitude. Negligence can be so sweet.
This is how ships start hiring armed guards with a IQ south of 100 and no combat experience whatsoever, Police forces find acceptable to have officers with a waist size over 40”, and the Marines start recruiting personnel unable to do more than 3 pull-ups. What can possibly go wrong?
Picture may be of this woman, a Russian, attacked by a purse thief in Moscow.

No room for mistakes in personal situational awareness. Your well-being depends on it.
Everything in your environment matters – shadows, eye contact, reflections, pressure differences, eye contact (or not), posture, voice changes or projection direction as you walk by, etc.
Practice always i.e. track everyone around you when out and about, see how aware you really are or how you can do better.
On the other side, be an obvious non-target..my license plate frame says “United States Combat Veteran”, I make it known that I am friends to Smith and Wesson, subscribe to gun magazines and gun show fliers, etc.
Lastly, don’t be a wimp. Don’t skulk, carry an FU attitude if needed. Bullies like wimps.
Society collapsing, the Left’s chaos-agents in full turnout:

NO one should ever be surprised by anti-whitey mayhem. As Frankie the Weatherman says: BE PREPARED!
I think the photo is fake.
Medical staff wears their masks over the nose.
Jim Nabors’ lovers had to be scared when he said ‘Surprise surprise surprise!!’.
I’m pretty sure one of the many tools the Spanish Inquisition had at it’s disposal was surprise.
Like the army taught us in Iraq: if you’re perceived as a hard target, then you ARE a hard target
That’s right Mr Burr- Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Also, that doesn’t look like a “kitchen knife” to me.
