Daniel Karson, chairman of business intelligence and investigations at the security firm Kroll, says if you are abducted it’s important to remain calm and do as your kidnappers say.
“Do not resist, do your best to maintain your composure. If it is kidnapping for ransom, chances are good you’ll at some point, you’ll be exchanged,” he says.

Together, we have developed a simple travel algorithm:
Good Places to Travel without Being Kidnapped = NOT(Lots of drug cartels OR Large Muslim population)
Or you could follow all the rules in the article, pretending not to be who you are. I bet our algorithm is better than 95% accurate in making predictions.
Too bad we don’t have a “like this post” button here on FR. I would have had to use it on your cartoon.
Have you ever read
“The Ransom of Red Chief?”
Now THAT’S a seminar in how to escape from kidnappers.
Did I miss the part where they sat that at close range head shots may save ammo for the next bad guy?
Carry firearm..... Kill kidnappers.
Empty their wallets of any Federal Reserve Notes that may be there, and then call the police.
I’ve heard about folks who’ve gotten those Conch Republic passports who got out of kidnappings because the kidnappers didn’t think they were from the US.
We’ve all known several “Red Chiefs.” LOL!
Eat like a hog. Fat people are harder to kidnap!
I was taught in my conceal and carry class that if someone is trying to kidnap you, a women, start screaming the worse obscenities you can think of. As loud as you can, cuss like a barroom tramp. He said men who kidnap woman usually look for the quiet submissive woman and that’s why he chose you. He said forget your a Christian, and raise hell, God will understand. I learned a lot in that class. The teacher was an retired attorney turned minister turned gun collector/firearm trainer...what a guy. He also said never get into a car, fight, run, do whatever because once your in the car your chances of getting away safely are low.
I cannot imagine more foolish advice. Go ballistic. Scream, scratch (tissue samples for later whether you’re alive or dead), kick, bite, and if you happen to be armed, take as many of the bastards with you as you possibly can. There are no benign kidnappings except in the movies. They will do things to you to encourage the ransom payment if that’s even what they’re after, which you will not know from the outset. They will cut off bits of you and send them home in little boxes. They will kill you to prevent a witness. Never, never, NEVER cooperate!

What a stupid dumb ass liberal.... typical advice for those who will always opt for appeasement & capitulation and most likely death if you follow this stupid advice. Instead one should scream, holler, fight back, die fighting rather than tied up and beheaded or shot in the head while being forced to kneel in a position of subjection.
Liberals are so mentally retarded with twisted cockeyed values, that they believe it is somehow morally superior for a young lady to be raped & strangled with her own panty hose, rather than defending herself with a concealed weapon against her scumbag assailant, who deserves to die anyway.
Off subject- O’Henry has many great stories. He lived in and wrote about both Texas and NYC during, I want to say, the turn of the century.
Check “The Princess and the Puma”.
I know I read somewhere I can’t remember that if you are a child or woman and a man grabs you and puts you in his car, you have a much higher percentage of surviving if you grab the steering wheel and cause a head on collision then you do by sitting quietly and hoping he’ll let you go after he does what he’s going to do. Fight all the way.
Once you are taken to another location, you are almost guaranteed to be killed.
Resist as much as possible on the spot.
Run off in a zig-zagging pattern as it makes it harder to get shot.
Most of these criminals can’t hit a stationary target at 7 yards, let alone 7 feet.
Like others have said, yell, scream, raise holy hell, resist, but do not allow yourself to be taken to another location as you will likely be killed.
This “Don’t resist” advice crap is a dream come true for for criminals.
“I’ve heard about folks who’ve gotten those Conch Republic passports who got out of kidnappings because the kidnappers didn’t think they were from the US.”
The whole “I’m an orphan” ploy worked pretty well in “The Pirates of Penzance.”
Oh, you might get shot or stabbed you say? If you go with them you are very likely dead anyway. If you are going to be injured, it's better if you are somewhere familiar to you where help is readily available, instead of in some remote location miles from help if you knew which way to go.
NEVER go WILLINGLY. Make them pay, then make them carry you, kicking and screaming (literally).
I believe that the only woman to escape from serial killer Ted Bundy was the fraile young lady who fought him tooth-and-nail, even after he had managed to get one of her hands cuffed. She eventually identified him in a lineup and gave testimony in a later trial.
Are you objecting to “your” in the third line?
Turn in your spelling police badge.
It really depends on the situation, but if it’s a small-timer (or even several people) carjacking you in a public place, NEVER, EVER, go with them. In general they will give up on you if you fight them loud and hard. If not, they’ll kill you there, which is still better than what they had in store for you.
Headline.
It got fixed.
