The third law says that the attacker will now approach you and pick a dialogue up to talk with you. It is at this point that you can do some tremendous anti-attack strategies. In this place of dialogue, as soon as your attackers use profanity or talk down to you in such a demeaning or horrible fashion, you are now at the fourth laws edge.
The fourth law says you are now under attack, so be prepared to defend yourself.
Now you can stop being attacked at any one of these four laws.
Law #1 says you’re at the wrong place at the right time. If you realize that, you leave, thus stopping an attack.
Law #2, you will be noticed, and it is at this place, you can show that you’re very aware of your surroundings and you’re physically capable of defending yourself. One way to look around at each thing and study it well, but the attackers see that you’re very aware and are sizing up everything around you. That would imply that you’re physically capable of defending yourself, and they will go someplace else for easier prey.
Law #3, when they pick up a dialogue, this is where you can utilize some creativity. You can tell them, for example, you’re an off-duty cop, and you’re looking for a particular person. This lets them know that you’re part of law and order and most likely armed.
By nature, attackers are cowards, and they look for the vulnerable people in the population to attack. An off-duty policeman isn’t one of those people. You can create several stories that paint a picture of you that they really don’t want to deal with.
And then finally, Law #4, if you know you’re going to be attacked, you get ready with your self-defense weapon or the like and aggressively move at them, letting them know that you’re capable of defending yourself.
If you become surrounded, get out of the center of the circle, and if you need to take an eyeball and damage it getting somebody to scream, or you can draw enough blood that it gushes out all over the other people, as we say in the men who stare at goats movie this creates a “very powerful visual psychic disincentive for the others to follow.”
