Ten mistakes you cannot make when confronted with a violent situation

From Jim Gover’s Book “Street Smarts, Firearms, and Personal Security”:

1. Don’t hope it goes away. Take the necessary action to end the situation.
2. Don’t expect there to be even a glimmer of compassion in your attacker – there isn’t.
3. Don’t believe the playing field will be even when you are attached. Conditions will be most advantageous to your attacker and you will be most vulnerable.
4. Don’t apply your social restraint to their attack. The two are not compatible.
5. Don’t believe you can compete normally with their level of violence. They are abnormal.
6. Don’t be confrontational or challenging. The situation is bad enough: letting your anger urge you headlong into a situation won’t help.
7. Don’t give up, ever, if attacked.
8. Don’t promulgate a lie to yourself or your loved ones. The realities of today are what they are, and they need to know hard-core facts about them.
9. Don’t forget, YOU didn’t start anything or ask for any trouble.
10. Never forget number 7.
