"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.

Again... if this poor guy had a self defense weapon, things might be different... the only twist here is getting past the baseball bat... but, once hit by it.. you should be close enough to do something .... but staying outside the swing... then moving in with a self defense weapon should really take care of the bat person... horrible stuff truly is happening out there... weapon up people....

Three teens arrested in gruesome beating of elderly Fort Worth pizza deliveryman: "

A quick-thinking Fort Worth police officer helped investigators arrest three teenagers -- two 15 year olds and a 16 year old -- in connection with last weekend's beating of a 66-year-old pizza deliveryman, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The teens are accused of robbing and severely beating Frederick Rein as he delivered pizza Saturday night to a vacant house in the 1200 block of Bessie Street, the newspaper reported. They have been charged with delinquent conduct/aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.

Reins remains in an intensive care unit with severe head injuries that police said were inflicted with an aluminum baseball bat.

Women's Martial Arts

No woman should ever study "mixed martial arts" as a self defense program! What a way to get yourself killed!!!1

Women's Martial Arts: "Women are possibly the most common victims of violence, be it domestic abuse, a mugging or the criminal rapist and this is no time for a woman to find out that her skill levels for survival are sadly lacking if this happens. It stands to reason this could happen, it could be as simple as being in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Where Are We Safe? Random Crimes Remind Us of Personal Safety

Most of this article sucks. If this doesn't turn your stomach and show you that YOU need to take charge of your self defense, nothing will. Clearly, this author has no dealings with violence. A person who is intent on attacking you isn't going to run away if you have "personal alarm"! Stupid!!! Also, noticing who is close to you isn't any form of self defense. So, I would suggest that "We are the weapon"... we need to know how to defend ourselves and our loved ones. Like a self defense weapon is a great start... also knowing how to use a knife and how to defend ourselves against weapons, is another great start....

Where Are We Safe? Random Crimes Remind Us of Personal Safety: "At home, work and school, we all expect, and hope for, a reasonable degree of safety. Violent, unprovoked crimes certainly cannot always be anticipated or prevented, however, there are potentially threatening situations that we can take more control over by employing personal awareness and technological resources."

Update: Roseville police look for reasons behind triple killing

Here is another case in point to have defenders (self defense weapon) or better in your house! Had these people been armed or had thought of their home safety, the outcome might be different. What can you learn from this? What would you change for your own home safety?

Update: Roseville police look for reasons behind triple killing: "

From Chelsea Phua and Bill Lindelof:

Roseville police said today they are investigating why a reported home invasion ended in a bloody scene where three people lay dead.

The incident, which began when a 16-year-old boy called police to report an intruder in the home he shared with his parent, resulted in the shooting of his mother and father and the suicide of the intruder, police said.

All three people were found dead in an upstairs bedroom of the house on the 1600 block of Alnwick Drive late Tuesday night, police said. The teenager was unharmed.

Neither the mother, 49, the father, 52, or the suspected shooter, a 35-year-old man, have been identified, pending notification of family.

'Nothing indicates that this is random,' said Roseville police detective Jerry Wernli said. Police suspect no other people are involved in the killings.

Roseville police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said that shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday police received a 911 call from the son reporting that a man, whom he did not know, had entered his house and shot his parents. The boy escaped, although it's unclear if he fled the house before officers arrived, police said. He was taken to safety by officers.

Police said that although the teen did not know the suspected killer, the man was known to his parents. Detectives are investigating the relationship between the gunman and the boy's parents and also the motive for the killing.

About 10 officers responded initially, Gunther said. Police surrounded the house and closed nearby streets to traffic. They later summoned the Tri-Cities Regional SWAT team, which deployed a camera-equipped robot to check the interior of the house before team members entered the building at about 1:40 a.m.

Five cars, including two Sports-Utility vehicles, were parked outside the house, which was cordoned off with yellow crime scene tape. Detectives and crime scene technicians worked gathering evidence.

Autopsies will be conducted Thursday.

The killings are an anomaly in Roseville, a city known for its low violent crime rate. 2008 FBI statistics ranked the city as the safest from violent crime in the region for cities of similar size. The last homicide in Roseville was in March 2007.
