improved situational awareness

That is the key. Most people, I suppose, go around in "white" awareness, not paying attention to their surroundings at all, whereas I have been taught to always go around in "yellow" awareness, always cognizant of who is nearby, where someone could be lurking, etc.

“.....when a black man beat him in an apparent ‘knock out’ game attack....

No sense wasting time reading the rest of the article.

“People need to start being shot or it will never end.”...

Zimmerman already tried that and look what happened to him.

However, I do agree there is some serious need for some “killin”.

People make up such cute little names for the crimes committed by these thugs.

"knock out game" randomly beating an innocent person- so funny that it's not happening to them.

"bash mob" everybody terrorize innocent minimum wage workers, and steal whatever's not nailed down.

And one of my all time personal "pretty" name used "wilding" punching kicking raping and bashing in the skull of an innocent woman.

Such great fun! Until it starts being done to you and yours.

Maybe someone else will pick the cute names then.

In a case like that you’re probably right. I’ve heard that in some cases there are several assailants and if the initial attack doesn’t knock the victim out the rest of the pack swarms in. In that case a concealed weapon may help if the victim isn’t too stunned to employ it. Of course in a situation like that weapon retention may be a problem since the attackers are right on top of you.

Another way a concealed weapon can help is less direct. I’ve carried concealed since 1994 and it has helped me develop the habit of being more aware of potential attacks. The change in mindset is a definite asset.

Jennings is one of the most violent municipalities in St. Louis County. It also touches one of the most violent neighborhoods in St. Louis City proper, the Walnut Park neighbhorhood.

Being a white boy in Jennings is like swimming with a rumproast around your neck...

6'2" black assaulting an innocent young Jewish kid who is walking down the street to meet his elderly grandmother for lunch.

Is that a "Hate Crime?"

Our "leadership in Washington" are nothing but a bunch of petty thug tyrants.

It is inconceivable to me that these evil wretches were allowed to even obtain security clearances, let alone positions of power.

The sad fact is that we have massive political corruption and vote rigging in this nation, and our liberties and freedoms are gone. We just don't want to admit it.

We have a Police State in our airports, a militarized police force that barges down doors every day without Constitutional authority, restrictions on our Second Amendment rights, we are under surveillance through our computers, phones, and e-mails accounts, we can be held for over a year in secret prisons if the "State" determines we are a "terrorist", and on and on and on.

America is gone folks. Over half of the population are Takers and want more Free Stuff. The other half has been cowed into fear.

As a matter of self defense today, you have to come to terms that as a white person you could very well be the target of racial crime, particularly assault.

With this in mind, and understanding that the predator class prefers a sudden, blindside attack, you will have to adjust your positioning and posture. Recognizing the attack posture of your enemy is extremely important as well. They will approach looking from side to side for witnesses or those who might intervene (police). Very often they will sway to their strong hand side as a windup, then deliver the blow with body weight and force.

Remember, time equals distance, distance equals time.

The more distance you create from your assailant, the more time you have to deal with the threat.

In any fight, and especially with the tactics employed by the polar bear hunting class, your mission, if engaged, is not surviving, it’s winning. A large step in winning is staying in the fight, and not getting knocked unconscious.
So you must protect your head.

If ever engaged in conversation with one of the predatory class under circumstances that make you feel they could be a threat, steeple your fingers out in front of you just directly under your line of sight. This gives you a headstart if they decide to assault you. Even if you deflect a portion of the blow as it rolls off your forearms, then you are in a much better position than being proned out cold.

Also for those that shoot, practice shooting from hip and from laying on your back prone, shooting between your knees. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this or your range disallows it, dry fire this technique at home. Remember, most fights go to the ground. Count on that happening. It most certainly did with GZ.

I would also recommend a technique many of us in LE use. It’s called “Self-talk”. It’s a basic “If this_____ happens, then I do this______...”. It’s having a plan beforehand, practicing it in your mind from time to time, in order to spend less time thinking about what to do in critical incident, and more time ACTING in manner that leads to a positive resolution.

So this is how we have to live, in the Land of the Free. That White Privilege sure is great, isn't it?

Yes, you are right, and I suspect that is a good thing.

I think that nothing is the best possible thing that President Hate, Division and Poison could say about anything at all.

Shut your venomous mouth, Mr. pResident, and keep it shut.

Thank you for stating the obvious! Welcome to 1930’s Germany; Hitler, his Gestapo, and the Holocaust (OBayMeCare) included, IMO.

Yep, that’s what it’s come to.

It wasn’t always that way, though. I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama and we didn’t have to worry about things like that. Ol’ Evil Bull Connor kept the place safe.

It was said that one then could walk in the downtown area in the wee hours of the morning and not fear a thing. Bull’s policemen ensured that.
