Protect Yourself From Terrorism
Protect Yourself From Terrorism
SANTA FE, N.M. (Wireless Flash) The best advice for protecting yourself from terrorists used to be dont try to be a hero. However, since Sept. 11, a terrorism expert now says doing the opposite is best. According to Tony Lesce, author of the new book Protect Yourself Against Terrorism (Loompanics), average Joes and Janes should overpower terrorists if their vehicles have been commandeered in a kamakaze-style attack. Lesce says the best way to disarm a bad guy face-to-face is make sure youre in striking distance then slap the gun hand away like Eddie Griffins character in Undercover Brother, finishing off with a heel strike to the jaw. If you can sneak up behind the terrorist, Lesce recommends grabbing him by the back of the head, twisting and throwing him to the ground then stomping on their gun hand. Of course he says you should only try these techniques if you know you can get away with it, and, of course, if the terrorist is alone.
