FerFAL ~ Argentina violence preview for the US.... http://ferfal.blogspot.com/2008/08/s...nt-events.html Quote:
A succession of violent events These last few days, crime and violence was the main topic on the news. Not that people didn�t get killed almost on daily basis here in Buenos Aires city before, but the amount and more noticeably, the needless violence involved in these robberies is something to worry about. The mayor of the city of Buenos Aires, Mauricio Marci, publicly admitted that there�s no safe place in Bs. As. City. Some of the incidents aren�t well covered by the media, and I don�t want to go into every single detail, don�t have the time right now for that, but some of the things we can learn from them: 1) Anyone is a potential victim. A noticeable higher economical level makes you even more desirable in the eyes of the bad guys, but don�t think for one second that you will be spared because you aren�t rich, or just because you are poor. Poor people are getting robbed and killed for whatever can be found in their pockets. 2) There�s no �safe� time of the day. You can get killed at 12 AM, 6 AM or 9PM just the same. Nights are a bit worse because some bad guys prefer to operate in the dark, but the worst kind, the most brutal ones don�t care at all. 3) Surrendering does not ensure that you wont get killed. One of the persons killed these last few days cooperated with the bad guys when they robbed his small library, and when they were leaving one of them turned and shot him three times in the chest and one in the head with a .32 S&W long. 4) Meanwhile, a man fought back when he saw his wife and son being attacked in front of his house. One of the bad guys had a gun to the teenage son�s head, while the other two hit the mother in the face with their guns and kicked her on the ground. The husband acted out of desperation and started shooting with a 22LR, fatally wounding one of the criminals in the chest with a single shot. The 3 bad guys managed to get into the car but the corpse of the one that got shot in the chest was dropped later in front of a hospital. One guy armed with a 22LR vs. three armed criminals that already have the drop on you are not chances I�d like to take, but sometimes an aggressive reaction like this one sends vicious criminals running, tough you should never count on that happening, and even thought the 22LR killed the BG in question, you should really arm yourself with something better. The woman�s face was disfigured because of the beating and she�s in the hospital, but the son and husband weren�t harmed. 5) Many of the persons killed these last few days got killed inside their cars. Cars offer NO protection of any kind against any caliber. You�d do well to remember that. If you ever end up using your car as a weapon, better go as low as you can in your seat, trying to use the engine a protection, since car doors and windows offer none, even against 22LR. 6)22LR, 32 S&W Long aren�t much to brag about but they can still kill you very much dead. Still, you should go for something more respectable for self defense in case they shoot back instead of running. 6) Most of these cases occurred when the person was either entering or exiting the house. This is, by far, the most dangerous moment, when you are more vulnerable. 7) Personal note here. Guns are what you end up using when you ****ed up and failed in your awareness. I�ve been coming back home late at night again everyday at the same time. Yesterday some guys tried to cut me off but when they saw that I was a) armed and b) not slowing down, but rather accelerating, they moved away fast enough. Today I took a different route, and I�ll be using different ways back home so as to avoid being ambushed like that. These things happen often, and being armed and not stopping or the combination of both always got me trough. But when they target you they may use other resources like setting traps like stones on the street or throwing bricks at your windshield to force you to stop. Better to avoid these things and make sure they can�t figure out your route and schedule. It may seem that for a blog intended on urban survival, I concentrate a lot on self defense. Believe me, there�s a reason for it. If things in USA keep on going down hill, expect crime to get worse even in small town America, and be ready to change your everyday habits FerFAL
