Instances of these attacks have appeared in small towns and large cities all across these United States.
What can you do to prepare yourself and successfully survive one of these attacks?
Thats what we will be discussing today.
What Is the Knockout Game?
The rules of the game are as simple as they are brutal.
A group chooses a lead attacker who then seeks out a victim.
Unlike typical gang violence or other street crime, the goal is not revenge, nor is it robbery.
The victim is chosen at random.
The attacker charges at the victim and begins punching.
If the victim goes down, the group usually scatters.
What three things can you do to avoid, prepare for and survive such unprecedented street violence?
Lets talk about each of these three things in greater detail.
Stay Switched On
Situational awareness amounts to nothing more than observing your environment.
The predator looks directly at you, and the secret to maintaining situational awareness is to simply look back.
you could accomplish this beneficial task by applying your situational awareness.
Use Protective Intelligence
Protect yourselves like the professionals use protective intelligence or open source available information.
The term open refers to overt, publicly available sources (as opposed to covert or clandestine sources).
Such information can tell you the time and physical location of a specific event or trending of events.
you’re able to then dial it back down after you pass clear of the known high-threat area.
Read the Mob
Mob mentality is fickle and can change like the wind.
In one second, a large group can be milling about, holding signs and peacefully chanting.
If you are confronted by a mob, your best defense is de-escalation and avoidance.
The bottom line is that youwilleventually be overwhelmed by sheer numerical superiority.
Being able to effectively read and react to a mob of less-than-peaceful people gives you a tactical advantage.
