Avoid freeze situations by practicing being aware of your surroundings at all times. Aim to acquire this almost 6th sense of knowing just when things don't look right. It is not at all stressfull, it is a learned behavior. To acquire some of those precious skills this may help: Jason Hanson...

I have been trying to find the answer to what I thought was a simple question: what is the frequency of sexual violence associated homicides. Apparently it is not a simple question, because of all sorts of reasons including homicide classifications, under reporting of some categories etc...

Cardinal when I said: I meant obviously I know PERSONALLY several women who have been raped. There are many more than "several" in the US every day, including the fact that a significant fraction are victims of men they know. 75% of women reporting being raped were assaulted by men they...

Nobody wants to be raped : true Will usually fight to the death: I don't think that is supported by the statistics. The percentage of rapes that result in homicide is a minority of cases. No time to get the exact number now but likely below 10%. It seems about 70% of women fight their...

Kathy said: Most certainly. Plus LC was on break from his job, so I am guessing he would not have the luxury to go on a wild goose chase. I am assuming he needs his job. Plus he may not have thought of it anyway. My point above was no to bring up what LC might have done, could have...

Julpal said Which is why I probably would have tailed the car. Assuming you are not driving something with a flashy bright color, the odds are AC would not have noticed. In any event, your doors are locked and you already have your phone in hand and possibly you are talking to the 911...

Sonya: That is why it is important not to just talk to your kids but REHEARSE scenarios physically. Kind of like prewiring their brain into reaction, and also that makes clearer what are the most effective defenses and what your own child's reactions patterns are. I am not saying staging...

Sonya said: Sure it was a possibility. There are plenty of biracial couples and in all layers of society. But LC had a "bad impression" initially about how AC moved and how he got in the car. Basically the body language that caught his eyes, a lot of "agitation" (did I get that right?) that...

For anyone approaching the vehicle and making a difference it would have had to be BEFORE he got in the car. But because she did not scream most people would have had a doubt and would have stayed there doing exactly what LC did: watchiing and wondering. Once AC is sitting inside the car...

Sonya said Yes indeed there is an error in her post Dedee: AC did not stop her from getting back in her car but rather kept her from closiing the door as she was already sitting therer, according to LC. But Sonya's FOCUS in the post was not that fact, the focus of the post, as I understand...

Again I am very gratful to Lester Clark for coming forward. He is a father of 5 and not a very large guy (it seems). So faced with AC's apparent "confidence' he had to wonder, consciously or not, where indeed it came from. Perhaps it was not a crime, or perhaps he had a "serious " weapon...

It is also possible that a lot of the recent activity online has been deleted by her family (after a printout for LE). just anticipating the public curiosity, I know I would have. About being uncomfortable to intervene at Walgreens because it was a biracial couple: that is why I thought I...

I agree completely. My statement "Tinder is a fact" was meant to say "without any judgement". I also think That Zoe must have used her own identity on Tinder, unfortunately. However, I do not think Facebook verifies that people use their real names or ever has. I know enough people who do...

Kathy, sorry, I just read the cbs text: the tattoo shop is behind the Walgreens on Garland. Forget Easton.

Kathy said: Why Peavy? is there a tattoo parlor there? There is a tattoo parlor: Sacred Tattoo on Easton (almost at the corner with Garland)
