Dealing With Sociopaths or Criminals Don't Play By Rules!

Ah, Jason Voorhees. When many people think of psycho killers or sociopaths they like to think of the way they are portrayed in films. While I love old Jason here, the real truth is far from the fiction. A sociopath is the type of person that will kick a baby out into traffic, watch it get run over by a semi, then head out to get a beer without giving it another thought.

And this is the type of criminal that causes violent crimes.

I remember, when I started really studying criminal behavior talking with various prison inmates that were in for murder. Many of them had the same story. They would start the situation like a mugging, pull a gun or knife  then demand the wallet or purse. Then, after the victim would comply, they would shoot or stab the person. Many of these inmates grinned with glee as they told their stories. They all loved the look of confusion on their victims' dying faces. The look of, "why'd you shoot/stab me? I was following the rules and giving you what you wanted."

And there's mistake number one.

Criminals and sociopaths don't follow any rules!

They are there to hurt, cripple, rape, maim or kill you!

They don't care if you're "following along."

They don't care how good of a person you are or anything about your family.

They want to do you harm.

How do you go about dealing with these kind of criminals?

Ruthlessly!

I remember teaching a self-protection workshop and having someone actually say, "Brett, that's all great but can't you teach us something less brutal?"

The answer of course is, "FUCK NO!"

If someone physically attacks you, it is your responsibility to defend yourself within the confines of the law, lest you go to prison. But, as the old Cooper saying states, "It's always better to be judged by 12 of your peers than carried by 6."

If someone attacks you, it is your responsibility to do whatever it takes to survive and remain safe. Yes, calling the cops is good, but it may take them 5-10 minutes to arrive. How brutal of an attack can happen in that amount of time.

Don't think about any type of rules, instead fight like a warrior or a feral animal. Use everything that you can to survive and get away.

That's enough for now. I'll talk with you more later.

Yours in peace,

Brett
