Morning Just me..
Thanks for the post...........
So a slight self-post hi-jack --- I don't want to get into the current state of affairs here in SA on this post, but just shortly, It is illegal to own a fully auto lethal weapon here.
Home invasions are commonplace --- Almost invarably accompanied with the most gruesume tourturing --- you can go google farm murders in SA --- It's no exageration.
Here when they attack you it's not one <or> two-on-one, it's 5 / 6 on one. ---- even attacks in broad daylight in the car parks of shopping centre's are multi - person attacks - It's known that you cannot deal with that many in one attack, even if armed.
But just to put a can on this post, I mentioned that I was mandated to document a training program for our workers - go see post "something to think about" under th thread finances - well here is the security component : - <Text copy-paste>
It’s about your life and valuables that you have worked long and hard to get
It’s about your friends life and valuables that they have worked long and hard to get
It’s everybody’s responsibility
They usually go for everybody’s personal belongings like cell phones / wallets / watches / jewellery / laptops, things that can be sold quickly.
They have a set pattern that they usually execute:
Get access to the premises quickly
They have already identified the company as a target, they know how many people are there, and they probably already know how the building looks like inside
Violently intimidate (shoot or beat up) workers into doing what they say
They have no worry to shoot, stab or beat up somebody. Most times that somebody is the first person that they get where they come in, and that could be you.
Get away quickly.
It usually takes no more than 5 – 10 minutes
They usually operate out of 3 or more vehicles.
At least one vehicle stay’s outside and makes sure nobody disturbs the robbery
When they are finished, they get into at least 2 other cars and drive off in different directions
FOUR SURVIVAL RULES. LEARN THEM THEY MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE
NUMBER 4
MINIMISE YOUR RISK
Leave your valuable stuff at home and don’t carry much money on you. You don’t need it at work. It does not help leaving that stuff in your locker, they raid the change rooms.
NUMBER 3
DON’T TALK ABOUT SECURITY THINGS WITH OTHER PEOPLE AT HOME OR ANYWHERE. KEEP INFORMATION TO YOURSELF.
Once you have said something you have no control over what happens to the information. The person who you spoke to might be trustworthy, but who they in turn speak to may not be trustworthy.
NUMBER 2
KEEP ALL THE FACTORY GATES AND DOORS CLOSED & LOCKED AS MUCH AS POSSABLE.
Criminals patrol the streets all the time. They are looking for opportunities. If they notice that our gates are unlocked or open, they will begin to see the company as a potential target
The company instruction is: - If you see the gate has been left open, you go and close it. Then discuss it with who left it open, or bring it to the attention of someone.
NUMBER 1
IF IT HAPPENS DO NOT CONFRONT OR ENGAGE WITH ANY OF THEM.
Remember there are more than one, and you have no control over any of the other’s so overpowering one is of no use, you could get yourself killed or very badly beaten up.
Do exactly what they tell you to do.
Do not fight back, even if they assault you..
Do not stare directly at them - look away.
Do not argue with them.
Do not try and put your hand in your pocket! - They see this as a top-level threat. They think you are armed / have a secrete panic alarm and will immediately react and possibly shoot you.
Do nothing to delay them. - You might get killed
So this component is 5 slides of a PP presentation with graphics and the usual, but you get the gist of it..... IF THAT"S what has to be part of a general worker's work training programme, That kinda says it all....
One other thing... They are usually utterly goofed..... Or "hyped up" having gone to the traditional medicine doctor (witchdoctor if you will) who has given them "muti" (medicine that's concocted from herbs ETC) that makes them immune to bullets, that when the "enemy" (white people) shoots at them, water comes out the barrel............. And they 100 % believe that.....
OK enough of that, it is what it is, what you fellas have there is not what we have here.... We have to deal with things differently, as contrary as it may seem...
As part of prepping & the fact that I travel solo I'm comosing a post regards my self defence multiplier's ETC, I'm keen to get input on that, I hope it's not going to de-generate into "get a gun" type of response...
