Dangerous drinking fountain

Walking up to a drinking fountain can be cool and refreshing or violent and deadly.

I'm not referring to the germs that you'll find on some public drinking fountains.

Have you ever watched how people use a drinking fountain?

Most of them just push the button and stick their face in the water.

Although you might see a few of them look around slightly side to side before they drink.
You may also notice them looking around while they drink as they try to stay alert.

These alert people remind me of an ancient warrior named Gideon.

When he brought his men to take a drink at a stream, he watched them carefully.

Those who lapped up the water like a dog, oblivious to their surroundings were sent home, but those who were alert, looking all around while they drank were deemed fit for battle.

So what do drinking fountains and Gideon have to do with you? Good question.

The point is to stay alert when using a public drinking fountain.

Also keep in mind that you can push yourself away from the drinking fountain to quickly move away or defend yourself more quickly if necessary.

If someone gets really close to you and they have a weapon you could spit the water at their face to make them blink right before punching their face. Then get away.

Although, considering the cleanliness of some public drinking fountains you should try to always have bottled water with you so you can bypass the fountain.

Have a great week!

Its amazing what we can endure

Its amazing what we can endure.

Veteran police officer Peter Soulis was shot while checking on a suspect who was parked at a gas station at around midnight.

Then a gun battle began between the suspect and officer Soulis.
Soulis was shot several times, but the suspect was shot
22 times.

The suspect lived for 4 minutes afterward.
It's amazing what the human body can endure.

If you ever get shot, just realize that it's not over like they show you in Hollywood movies.
If you're alive after the first shot, chances are that you'll survive if you can get away or stop the threat.

I would learn some good self-defense to help you learn how to get away and also how to stop this type of threat.

I also recommend that you avoid gas stations late at night.

Be strong,

What a gal!

Recently two illegal aliens, Raphael Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, broke through the front door of a home where 11 year old Patricia was home alone in Butte, Montana.

Patricia was upstairs in her room when the two men broke through the front door. She then ran to get her father's shotgun.

As Resindez came to the top of the stairs, Patricia defended herself by firing into the man's mid section. The wound was fatal and he never had a chance to use his 45 caliber handgun.

Thus the first threat to 11 year old Patricia's life was stopped.

Then Patricia noticed that Garza was about to come up the stairs and fired upon him as he then fled out the door and died out on the street. This second threat to Patricia's life was also stopped.

Thank God she was the clay shooting champion since she was 9 years old. It probably saved her life.

We never know when our life will be threatened but it sure helps to be prepared.

Be safe,

President takes cover on Pennsylvania ave.

President Obama was walking down Pennsylvania ave., surrounded by secret service agents when suddenly he was escorted back into his limousine.

Someone saw a risk or a threat and the new president was taken to safety.
You probably don't have secret service protection, but whenever you see the signs of danger, you should take cover also.

It's not wise to just keep going and suffer the consequences.

This may require us to swallow our pride, but it's better to humbly arrive at home then to proudly arrive at the cemetery.

This reminds me of an old proverb...
A wise man sees danger and protects himself, but the fool continues on and suffers harm.

So remember seek cover whenever you see danger.

All the best,

Kubler Al

She flipped me off

She took both hands off the wheel of her Honda Pilot and held up both her middle fingers at me.

Then she took her right index finger and pointed it at me and acted like she was firing several shots at me with a gun.

Next she drove past me flipping me off with both fingers again.

Okay, now you're wondering what I did to provoke this, right?

Well, traffic was moving at about 25 miles per hour and I looked over my left shoulder saw that it was clear, turned on my left turn signal and changed lanes.

Then a few seconds later I heard a horn honk three times.

I was sure that it wasn't the car that was now behind me because it was still four or five car lengths back.

However it turned out that it was the car behind me.

That's when the driver started using creative hand signals.

Then I thought, ‘Good thing I’m not a gang member. Otherwise her pretend shots might have been met with real ones.’

Okay, let's unpack how this driver goofed up and how you should respond when you meet someone like her.

1) She honked her horn even though it wasn't necessary to avoid an accident.

Be careful when honking your horn. You should only do so to avoid an accident.

2) She should never have held up her middle fingers. She could have crashed or ignited road rage or both.

If someone holds up their middle finger to you, act as though you don't notice it so that you won't respond in a manner that will escalate the situation.

Just keep going on past them.

3) When she acted like she was shooting at me with her finger, I realized that she had anger issues, but others may have taken it as a threat or a challenge and responded with real bullets to her pretend shooting.

If someone starts pretend shooting at you, just realize that you're dealing with someone who has anger issues and that a fight could erupt very easily if you were to engage them.

Do everything you can to avoid them. This may require you to set aside your ego and pride but I’d rather be humbly safe at home than proudly laying dead in the streets.

Even if you thought you could win, you will certainly end up in court where the other person will show up dressed real nice and looking like a reasonable person.

Then it will be his word against yours. Don’t take the chance.

It’s always better if you can avoid the fight.

If however, you can’t avoid the fight, it’s a good idea to know how to protect yourself, especially if the guy is twice your size.

We have a program that will help you do just that, defeat someone twice your size.

Four men attacked him

All five of them were on the ground fighting. It was four against one.

It didn't seem fair, but that one man was doing just fine. He was punching and kicking all four of them as they tried to hurt him.

Somehow they couldn't take advantage of the fact that they outnumbered him four to one.

This one man was my father-in-law.

He came home from work to find one of his daughters crying. One of his other daughters told him how one of their uncles had been harsh with the daughter who was now crying.

My father-in-law went and confronted the uncle. (The man was his brother-in-law).

The uncle responded sarcastically and a fist fight began.

The uncle had three brothers standing nearby and they all jumped into the fight.

By the time it was over, all four of the uncles were bruised up but my father-in-law didn't even have a scratch on him.

So how did one man beat up four other men? That's pretty rare! Usually one man can't defend against several.

Well, let me unpack the details of why he was able to do this amazing feat.

First of all, he had some self-defense knowledge.

Secondly, he decided to have courage to confront evil. (Yes, courage is a decision. The next time someone helpless is abused, verbally or physically, you'll have to decide if you want to have courage also.)

Thirdly, he didn't have to worry about who he punched or kicked. They were attacking so he punched and kicked everything that got near him.
The uncles actually ended up punching each other.

Fourthly, he kept moving, continuously punching faces and kicking bodies until they were unable or unwilling to attack anymore.

So when you're outnumbered take courage and start punching and kicking everything that gets near you.

Of course it does help if you have some self-defense training, specifically how to defend against a group.

I covered group attacks in detail in one of my seminars. It was called the Big Kuta Seminar and we have it on video for you.

I'd hate to read a story in the news about four men putting you into the hospital or worse.

Two strangers after midnight

They walked right up next to her driver side window. Sally knew they were trying to decide if they should rob her.

She was on her way back from Las Vegas (lost wages) and she ran out of gas. It was three o’clock in the morning and she was stranded in the middle of the desert, more than twenty miles from a gas station.

Two men stopped their vehicle in front of her car and just sat talking to each other as one of them kept pointing back at her car.

After a few minutes they both walked over to her car.

As soon as they opened their car doors Sally put her cell phone up to her ear and she pretended she was talking to someone.

She also rolled down her driver side window less than an inch. She did this quickly, before they arrived because she knew that sometimes when you roll down an electric window on the driver’s side it goes all the way down and she didn’t want that to happen when the two men where standing beside her vehicle.

Both men came and stood beside her window as she continued to pretend to have a conversation.
Finally one of the men said, ‘Are you okay?’

‘Just a minute.’ Said to the person she was pretending to talk to and then she turned to the men outside her car and said, ‘I’m fine. Help will arrive very soon.’

Then she resumed her pretend cell phone conversation.

The men stood next to her car door for about another minute or two and then turned and walked back to their own car.

They got back in their car and began talking and pointing at Sally.
They did this for about ten minutes.

They looked very suspicious. Sally was certain that they were trying to decide whether or not they should rob her.

Finally they drove off and a couple hours later a tow truck arrived with five gallons of gas for Sally’s car and she drove to the nearest gas station and then home.

This night could have ended very different for Sally; however she did a few things that helped her survive.

Here are some tips to remember if you ever get stranded and you’re approached by someone suspicious.

1) Call or pretend to be talking to someone on your cell phone.
Someone else could hear what was going on, at least from the perspective of the men who approached Sally.

2) If you are going to roll down your window to talk to someone, do it early enough so that if it went all the way down, you’d have enough time to roll it back up and make sure it was only open about one inch.

3) Tell the stranger you’re fine and that help will be arriving soon. This will make the stranger consider that any minute help would arrive, making it risky for them to try anything.

4) Avoid the 10 to 4 window. According to the F.B.I. most crimes happen between 10 pm and 4 am so try not to be out during these hours if possible.

5) Bring someone with you, especially if you’re taking a long road trip. There’s safety in numbers and the conversation will help keep you awake.

6) Try to fill your gas tank when you’re down to a quarter tank. That way you won’t risk running out of gas.

7) Have your windows tinted in the darkest tint allowed by law. That makes it hard for anyone to see whether or not you’re alone in your car.

8) And of course, take a street self-defense course that focuses on realistic moves that can save your life.

We have one of these courses and people are amazed at how easy it is to learn.
