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.

First off, very few kidnapped people are told up front, “Easy now, we’re just going to hold you for ransom.”

Kidnappings happen in violent ways by being snatched. Nearly every person snatched is later killed.

Fight back immediately and violently. Kill the SOBs. Picture them dead in their own pools of blood. Picture them slaughtered in a mass of unrecognizable blood and guts. Then make it happen, immediately. Not later. Not in a few seconds. Not one there is an “opportunity”. Every millisecond means they have an advantage. Kill them, kill them NOW!

I used to teach self defense to women. I start the first class by grabbing on from behind. I then ask her what she imagined, and everyone imagines the bad guy on top of her raping her. I have to change that for them. They instead need to imagine the bad guy dead with his blood all over the place because she raged on his ass. She shot him, knifed him, poked his eyes out, ripped off his lips, and stabbed him repeatedly, slit his throat, whatever violence it takes for him to be dead right there right now.

Kidnap victims, same thing. Whatever violence it takes.

Rules to ponder:

1. If you can’t see you can’t fight: slash or poke their eyes and blind them. Most perps will not be expecting this.

2. If you can’t breath, you can’t fight: Slash the throat, punch to the solar plexus, break the nose so that blood goes down the throat.

3. If you can’t stand, you can’t fight: A hard kick to the side of the knees is quite effective in bringing some one down. Also tripping. Being suddenly dumped on your butt is psychologically alarming and may end the fight.

If you can’t think, you can’t fight: decapitate them.
