			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Body</strong> and <strong>head lice</strong> outbreaks&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Human waste</strong> so bad that concerns have been raised about the public health hazard it represents&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Sexual assaults</strong> so rampant that special &#8220;female only&#8221; tents have been set up to cut the risk of rape&#8230;.</p>
<p>Fliers circulated asking when it is appropriate to <strong>murder police</strong> and those in authority&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Widespread theft</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p>The weak, the elderly, and the infirm <strong>knocked down and trampled</strong> by angry, chanting mobs&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Sound like a refugee camp following Hurricane Katrina?</strong></p>
<p>Nope! In fact, it&#8217;s not a natural disaster at all.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a snapshot of the soft underbelly of the &#8220;Occupy Wall Street&#8221; protest and the many other cities where the &#8220;Occupy&#8221; movement has spread!<span id="more-370"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">Occupy Wall Street: Violence Unchecked</span></h2>
<p>The politics involved don&#8217;t matter.</p>
<p>From an urban survival perspective, the reasons for a political demonstration aren&#8217;t important.</p>
<p>The fact is that the &#8220;Occupy&#8221; movement has become very popular in the United States, and with its popularity has come the very real danger of mob violence.</p>
<p>This is the danger, the imminent threat, of an outbreak of social chaos.</p>
<p>We have &#8211; in the rapes and the threats of murder; in the chanting and the calls for violent &#8220;justice&#8221; &#8211; seen the first signs of what could at any moment, in any of these &#8220;occupied&#8221; cities, become a deadly riot.</p>
<p>Media coverage of these events has, in many cases, glossed over the violence or ignored it completely.</p>
<p>And there&#8217;s something else they&#8217;re not reporting (or not even aware of)&#8230;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">The Hidden Danger Of The &#8220;Occupy&#8221; Movement<br />
You Must Know About</span></h2>
<p>During one Occupy protest, a man desperate to extricate himself from one of the &#8220;occupy&#8221; mobs gunned his car&#8217;s engine and ran someone down.</p>
<p>It happened after a protestor started beating on the hood of his car.</p>
<p>The driver knew that at any moment, that mob could choose to overturn his vehicle.</p>
<p>He decided not to be a victim&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;and now he&#8217;ll likely wind up a victim of our court system.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, reporters characterize the &#8220;occupy&#8221; mobs as &#8220;largely peaceful.&#8221;</p>
<p>For whatever reason, we&#8217;re told that the members of these mobs are just socially conscious liberals who mean no harm and want &#8220;social justice.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, most of the protestors probably ARE socially conscious liberals who mean no harm and want &#8220;social justice&#8221;.</p>
<p>The problem is that in every large crowd of people, especially one on the verge of a riot, there are always scumbag opportunists drawn to the noise and activity of a crowd like that.</p>
<p>They know that when chaos breaks out, they can take advantage of the mayhem, the burning cars, and the inability of police to control a violent turn of events.</p>
<p>These are the people who, during the outbreak of social chaos, become looters, or turn to rape, or simply commit assault and murder for the sheer thrill of it.</p>
<p>These people don&#8217;t care about anything other than anarchy — and taking what&#8217;s not theirs.</p>
<p>They may even start a riot themselves because they know the social chaos that results will benefit them.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;">What <span style="text-decoration: underline;">YOU</span> Should Do Now To Be Prepared&#8230;</span></h2>
<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled.</p>
<p>No matter where you live or how peaceful things look, the lesson we&#8217;ve learned from the rapid spread of the Occupy movement is that people can quickly mobilize in any part of our society.</p>
<p>This is especially true when all hell breaks loose.</p>
<p>What you DON&#8217;T see during one of these &#8220;occupy&#8221; protests, and every public demonstrate like it, is what can get you killed.</p>
<p>Those often unseen threats are the lighted match brought to the powder keg of a political protest.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re caught in or near a protest, a mob, or an imminent riot like Occupy Wall Street, do you know what to do in order to survive?</p>
<p>Do you understand the danger?</p>
<p>Do you have the gear, the tactics, and the strategies to protect your family and yourself?</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">There are many lessons to learn from this post-riot analysis&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>The big lesson for me from this Wisconsin State Fair riot attack is how fast the violence spread and the direction of movement.  The violence spread in all directions!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>There were reports that this was racially charged &#8211; but <strong>don&#8217;t fall victim</strong> to thinking that mobs are just a &#8220;black thing&#8221;.  I&#8217;ve seen riots break out at concerts by bare-chested white rockers (just happened this week in Chicago).  Violence knows no color.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>To the person who left a comment on the <strong><a title="Philadelphia Flash Mob Violence" href="../flash-mob-violence-philadelphia/">Philadelphia Flash Mob Violence</a></strong> post that this was all just <strong>&#8220;<em>scare tactics</em>&#8220;</strong>,  hopefully you now see that even a family day at the fair can turn into a  life-or-death event for you and those who rely on you to protect them!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>No where is totally &#8220;safe&#8221;.</strong> Any place where there are large groups of people, you should be &#8220;armed&#8221; and prepared to respond to protect yourself.</li>
</ul>
<p>Folks, this isn&#8217;t just about safety.  <strong>This is about <span style="text-decoration: underline;">personal</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">liberty</span>!</strong></p>
<p>I mean, if I can&#8217;t take my freakin&#8217; kids to the damn fair to ride on a Ferris Wheel because I gotta worry about gangs getting stupid and slamming a construction sign over my head, where the hell do we go from here?</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;d appreciate your professional comments below.</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">No stereo-types &#8211; focus on survival tips, ok?</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a coach for my son&#8217;s 3rd grade basketball team (thank God I know hand-to-hand! <img src='http://www.closequarterscombat.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>As a prerequisite, we have to go through a series of online classes.</p>
<p>Well, yesterday, the topic was on &#8220;irrational parents&#8221;.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve had to deal with my share of dads who felt like their son was better than another boy and deserved to play more than the other kids.</p>
<p>I have my polite ways to tell them to &#8220;screw off&#8221;.</p>
<p>But the online lesson plan gave a shocking example of where these situations can turn ugly&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;and I&#8217;m curious how YOU would have dealt with the situation.<span id="more-256"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000;">Amazing Real Life Story Of An Out Of Control Dad.</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000;">What Would <span style="text-decoration: underline;">YOU</span> Do?</span></h2>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I approached the man and his son waiting outside of our reserved batting caged and explained to him that we had a scheduled practice.  I told him that there was still another cage at the other end he could use, and he told me to &#8220;F- off.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Watch your language around the kids.</p>
<p>Well, this guy pulls out a Glock with a clip taped to the handle of the gun, points it at the middle of my head from five feet and tells me I’m a dead man and that he’s going to blow my F-ing brains out.</p>
<p>I said, &#8216;<em>Think about what you’re doing,</em>&#8216; because his son’s over here crying, &#8216;<em>Daddy let’s go to the other cage, let’s go to the other cage.</em>&#8216; I said, &#8216;<em>Think about what you’re doing. This will be the last thing your son is going to see you do.</em>&#8216;</p>
<p>At that moment or a couple minutes later, the police drove up, they came over and he quickly took the gun, put it in the bag and then they hauled him off. I wasn’t much afraid as I was mad because I felt violated. I mean here is somebody who is going to kill me over a batting cage, which is ridiculous.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000;">So please share your insights&#8230;</span></h2>
<ul>
<li>What did this dad on the other end of the barrel do right?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>What did he do wrong?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Would you have done anything differently?</li>
</ul>
<p>All opinions are welcome! <img src='http://www.closequarterscombat.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
