“Don’t go to stupid places. Don’t hang out with stupid people. Don’t do stupid things.”
“Asking for trouble is a pretty good way to get it.”
“If you are unwilling to defend your own lives, then you are like mice trying to negotiate with owls. You regard their ways as wrong; they regard you as dinner.”
“Potential predators as they attempt verbal engagement should be politely dismissed. Bearing and eye contact should always project strength and confidence. We should be continually moving off the line of force. We should be observant in every direction, giving potential predator duos and trios the distinct impression that they will not be able to sneak up on us.”
“When predators are confused, they are unable to focus sufficiently to carry off their victimization.”
“Ultimately, we must “have a plan.” Potentially dangerous encounters must be thought about in advance. Decisions must be made. Skills must be practiced. Confusion, hesitation, and vacillation will always attract the attention of predators and simultaneously stimulate predator behavior.”
“Weakness perceived is weakness exploited.”
“Speed without hits is a waste of time. Hits without speed is a waste of time.”
