Paranoia?

Ok, So I got this email from my aunt Pam today. Is it any wonder that girls are so terrified of Rape, Murder, and Abduction. This stuff is pounded into our head from birth. I know it is a dangerous world out there for girls, but this stuff gives me nightmares. The mind is a crazy thing, and if you constantly tell a girl she's going to have stuff like this happen to her at some point in her life.... that's gonna do some serious psychological damage. The most vivid dreams i have are ones where I am being chased by a Rapist... seriously I have those. When I first moved into the house I live in now there was a screeching cat outside and it woke both my roommate Tera and I up, and what was our first though? Rapist... She pulled out the last piece of Info on this page 'the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana' and we didnt go back to bed for hours... I guess what I am getting at is... its important to be cautious in ALL situations, but you are just as likely to get killed in a car accident... everyone is cautious when they drive (for the most part) but ive never met someone who is always paranoid of death when driving.. So be cautions, but don't let paranoia rule your life.

And with that... Here is the email:

Because of recent abductions In daylight hours, refresh yourself Of these things to do In an emergency situation...


1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest pointOn your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!


2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you....Chances are that he is more interested In your wallet and/or purse than you,And he will go for the wallet/purse.RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole And start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars After shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this Is the perfect opportunity for him to get in On the passenger side, put a gun to your head, And tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR , LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.. 

If someone Is in the car With a gun To your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine And speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat They will get the worst of it . As soon as the car crashes Bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body In a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting Into your car in a parking lot, Or parking garage: A.) Be aware: Look around you, Look into your car, At the passenger side floor , And in the back seat B.) If you are parked next to a big van, Enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims By pulling them into their vans while the women Are attempting to get into their cars. C.) Look at the car Parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, And the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone In the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted 
his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night. the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana

10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your
 outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack.

Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!

I have received that email multiple times in the past, and I always read it...and then I get freaked...and then I delete it...and then someone else sends it to me. So thanks a lot for posting this and adding (once again) to my paranoia. ;)

I read once that when you walk to your car you should have your keys spread between your fingers (like Wolverine, lol) so if someone comes up to you you can gash them in the face with your keys. So yeah, don't judge but I almost ALWAYS walk to my car that way if it's late at night and I'm alone.

The other thing I've heard is to have your house key or car key out and ready to go right in the keyhole. Never fumble around trying to find the right key in the dark. It's the "perfect opportunity" for someone to sneak up on you.

So there you go, now I've added to YOUR paranoia and we are even. :)
