Choreographed - Please Read Anyone who has seen a self-defense class demonstration at the local community center quickly realizes that it is choreographed. A signal is given for the attacker in the wings to attack and the attack targets the heroes strong side.Watch a few demos from the same...

Choosing a Self-defense Course. This may sound ironic but talk to a trained LE officer or liason and have them relate what happened to victims that had taken self-defense courses. Then if you wish to continue............. Ideally there would be an interview and some testing to see if you...

Self - defense Classes A comment about self-defense classes. If the self-defense class does not teach you basic street safety,recognition, avoidance and exit strategies then it will do more harm than good by providing a false sense of security. I've seen a few of these so-called self...

Exit Strategy The thread has taken on a broader context. We have moved beyond scam type situations to include those where personal safety is an issue. Granted there was overlap in the thread that motivated this one so it is reasonable to discuss both at the same time. There is a commonality...

Truer words have never been spoken. Many years ago I was working in a club with a Vietnam vet/ Green Beret. One of the dancers was taking a self-defense course and was bragging about how she could defend herself from an attacker much bigger than her. She did not know the background of my...

Very accurate. Simple explanation. Beyond the JDM, buffered between the various free internet sites, you have the long established incalls etc that service certain area or niche clients, advertising in district weeklies. Some have never been mentioned on either board, mainly their preference as...

Get someone you know and trust to do an evaluation of your specific situation. Most people do not have the mindset to handle their own personal security BUT vendors of various courses in pursuit of the dollar overlook this. Net result you have a false sense of security and are at greater risk as...

Appeal Basic to any financial transaction is "Appeal". For the purposes of discussion "Appeal" may be reduced to two main categories. "Appeal to need" - basics of life such as food, clothing, shelter, security, etc plus as relevant to this discussion need for affection, acceptance and...

This thread is prompted by the "Retired Escort" thread - shortened version of the title and comments from other board members including mod8 encouraging a thread touching on various safety issues ( basic common sense). Do not wish to re-visit the details of the thread in question. Also...

The point of the thread was replaced by a battle of egos a few pages ago. Let's get back on topic.

True. Basically trying to look at the randomness issue or possibilities from a totally different perspective based on what was known at the time I made the post.

Kudos to the mods and the board for re-opening this thread. Have been trying to make sense of this situation for awhile and the longer the thread runs the more confusing it gets. So let's try to condense the info into a logical format. Two very basic questions. What part of town did this...

Old is New II Like I said old is new. The old style KGB /Soviet techniques are brought into play and the old method of protraying dissenters as being mentally ill. Interesting to see how the final version will read.

Old is New EB and others, Basic rules were overlooked. ANY object can be a weapon. Brass knuckles are obvious. A religious replica creates a false sense of security. Security at time is so concerned and vigilant about the unexpected, suicide bomber, latest technology adapted for an...

Does Posting the Pictures Help Let's see. Posting the picture received multimedia coverage in French and English. Plus pages of debate on the various boards for over one week. Would you say that transient hobbyist traffic in the area is down, the same or up? Down and its very effective.

Liability Issues Liability issues cover everything from responsibility for damages to the building, to utilities, phone, etc. You have to make sure that your friend is protected all the way down the liability line. Your friend will not be home 24/7/365 to watch over things.

Privacy Privacy on a public street within the context of as far as "the eye can see". People are protected from someone posting such images for global viewing under certain conditions that have been discussed previously.

Public Interest In Quebec "truth" has to pass the additional test of being in the public interest. In this situation public interest would be fairly easy to show.The pictured parties would have to show malice which I have yet to see anyone produce an argument for. Specifically how are...

Oh Well................. Merlot, Oh well.........civil cases in Quebec are tried before a judge only. No jury trials in civil cases. The defendant may elect a jury trial in a criminal trial. This would not be the case in this instance.

Liability Issues Liability issues have to be considered. Your friend has a signed leased with clearly defined responsibilities and obligation. Likewise your friend may have insurance for the flat. Would the contractual responsibilities and obligations extend to the "roommate"? Likewise would...
