Had this woman had a Defender... we might not have seen this article! A self defense weapon could have or possibly turned this into a completely different story!

Jury convicts Winters man of killing his wife: "

From Hudson Sangree:

Yolo County jurors on Tuesday convicted a Winters man of killing his wife, though her body has never been found.

Felipe Cruz Hernandez, 39, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Leticia Barrales Ramos, 28, who disappeared April 12.

The couple's 10-year-old daughter, who prosecutors said may have been asleep in the next room when her mother was killed, testified during the trial.

After weeks of hearing evidence, jurors deliberated for a short time Friday and again Tuesday before announcing in the afternoon that they had reached a unanimous verdict.

Blood stains in the couple's apartment that were genetically matched to Barrales Ramos convinced them she had died and that her husband had killed her, jurors said.

But without a body or a murder weapon, they said, they were unable to determine whether the killing had been premeditated.

'We struggled with the actual event, how it might have taken place,' said jury foreman Mike Sullivan. 'But there was a small window of opportunity, and it only pointed to one person.'

The verdict brought to a close a case that shook the small town of Winters, which had not had a killing in a dozen years.

When you read this one, have to shake your head and wonder what people are thinking of! What woman would want to be with a family or a man who does this kind of stuff? What are they thinking. Has the world taken a nightmare pill? Even more reason to have a self defense weapon on your body at all times!!! Also sounds like a good reason to learn weapon disarms!

Home Survival - Coping With Crime

This is a bit off topic for all the recent activity over the men who stare at goats, but I thought it was worth while to share this article with my readers. Now, a defender/predator self defense weapon in every room would help stop home attacks dead in their tracks but this person doesn't know about them yet. He has some good advice however...

A new goats clip is up

Here in this clip, which is taken almost directly from the Crazy Rulers of the World where I trash Jon Ronson in the Amtrack Museum.... the "choke me" and the finger quotations you will see in the Crazy Rulers of the World. Funny to see George Clooney mimic yourself! In this clip I used my hands not a Predator or self defense weapon but it was a memorable time, non the less...

Who wields it better?

Wow.. the press and our sales are ramping up all around the movie "the men who stare at goats". Here is a fun link I just found... http://worldofwonder.net/2009/09/10/Who_Wields_It_Better_/

Also... on the fact or fiction page of the men who stare at goats website...

"The Predator – that weird blob of plastic that can inflict agony upon you – is real. Its inventor, Pete Brusso, hurt the hell out of me in much the same way as Lyn hurts the hell out of Bob (Ewan McGregor) in the movie. It was unbelievably painful. Pet Brusso, is truly a maestro of violence. He’s on Twitter now."

WEll everyone that has been in my classes or experienced the Predator "Defender" Self Defense Weapon... understands the comment on the fact or fiction page!!!

Woman taken from Oak Lawn home at gunpoint, forced to withdraw cash from ATM

This is a case in point that if this woman had a self defense weapon or weapons in her home, things might have been very different. Two attackers and two defenders, this could have been so different.

Woman taken from Oak Lawn home at gunpoint, forced to withdraw cash from ATM: "

A Dallas woman says she is not sure she'll ever go back to her Oak Lawn condo after a gunman took her from her bedroom Saturday night and forced her to withdraw cash from an ATM.

A second man held the woman's friend at the condo in the 2700 block of Hood Street near Oak Lawn Avenue and Cedar Springs Road, where he threatened to kill her if she did not cooperate. The women asked that their names be withheld out of concern for their safety.

The woman who was kidnapped said she had gotten into bed about 11 p.m. and her friend stepped outside to get something out of her car. That's when two men approached and forced the friend inside.

The man with the gun came into the condo owner's bedroom.

'I look up and there is a ... man walking in my bedroom with a gun pointed at my face telling me they have my friend downstairs and they want money,' she said.
