today we're gonna see three robbery
attempts that look remarkably similar
except for one key detail let's see if
you can find what it is
[Music]
hi friends welcome to today's lesson
here at active cell protection i'm your
host as always john korea it's
apparently south africa week here at
active self protection we have three
videos all very similar from south
africa today in terms of where they are
and what the bad guy does but let's see
if you can notice on the first play
through what the difference between the
outcomes is big tech's ordnance is my
go-to source for accessories for all
your defensive and competition firearms
they have great holsters with
accessories for concealment and ship
fast at great prices i'm a proud
customer and recommend them without
hesitation in this first one i'm not
sure if the vehicle is coming or going
but notice the car that pulls up next to
him and a couple dudes are going to pile
out of the car to try to rob now they're
going to try to back out of there but
before they do our robbers are going to
get the doors open and now the robbery
begins in earnest i'm going to speed it
up here just for the sake of time but
our getaway car is going to turn around
while they shake these guys down pretty
significantly thankfully it does not
appear to me anybody gets hurt they get
their stuff and they skedaddle second
one here two ladies standing with the
gate open while they're talking and
they're thinking oh geez i gotta get out
of the way because these guys are gonna
show up that i don't know so they start
to think about getting out of the way
but the gate doesn't close and before it
can close dude shows up with a gun in
his hand and blocks the gate so now we
got more robbers who are going to show
up and jump inside here these were two
ladies and so the first lady gets on the
ground i'm gonna again speed it up
simply for the sake of time they bring
the second lady back notice a guy comes
out of the house and then nopes back
inside the house i think probably to get
a gun or something like that or to get
some kind of a tool then they're gonna
take cell phones and cash whatever when
they see the guy coming back out they're
gonna jump back in the car and be gone
thankfully none of these ladies were
hurt third one you see there's a lady
trying to get inside the house these
dudes are going to show up open the back
door start stealing stuff and then they
want to steal the vehicle
they have her blocked in here so they're
going to come back up and get her out of
the driver's seat now watch the bottom
left you're going to see there that the
man of the house is going to show up see
what the heck is going on and ask the
lady hey what's going on here and i
think she finally says hey these guys
are stealing the car well he's not into
that so he's going to draw a firearm and
point it at this guy and go yo get out
of my car well that causes the guy to go
nah i'm not interested in being shot and
so he is going to do his using bolt
impression and jam on down the road i'm
going to let it continue to play though
because he's trying to get the dog and
this lady i don't know if this lady is
his wife a friend i i have no idea how
they're related it doesn't say in the
description he's trying to get her
inside with the dogs inside and she's
instead looking in the vehicle while he
is you know continuing to holler at her
and see what's going on with these
attempted carjackers and again now he's
trying to get the dogs to go inside get
her to go inside and it's pretty much
like herding cats thankfully he was able
to stop it hmm i wonder what the
lesson's going to be about the
difference between these three let's get
to them
did you catch it so the question for you
out of today's video is do you have your
firearm near you while you're at home or
on your person let me hear about it in
the comments would you
in this first particular one i do think
paying attention to your world is great
and getting that car in reverse is great
you see somebody trying to carjack you
and in these kinds of areas this is very
common using the vehicle to get out of
the danger zone i think is your best
answer i think it is your most likely
first solution and that means being able
to drive in an evasive manner not just
defensive driving keeping other people
from hitting you but evasive driving
being able to use your vehicle to evade
a problem and to escape a situation very
very quickly and that takes a little bit
of training a little bit of skill and
i'd recommend you go through that of
course secondarily here you've got to
lock the doors on your car please hear
me again i say this so often on the
channel lock your car doors literally
get in the car the first thing you
should do is lock your car doors before
you put your seat belt on before you
start the vehicle the first thing that
you do is lock your doors because that
provides a barrier towards anyone else's
access to your vehicle and when you
don't that vehicle can be breached very
very quickly and then you are at an
incredible disadvantage so please lock
your doors that's probably the biggest
lesson out of this one because once the
doors are breached these guys are i
don't even know if they're armed quite
frankly
but they can rob by threat and you're
not going to overpower them and and so
again in this case i think compliance at
that point is probably the best but they
had the ability to get out of the danger
zone if they just locked their doors in
this particular one man don't stand in a
transitional space you know with a
you've got a space with a gate just go
inside and close the gate and stand and
talk as much as you want then you've got
all the time in the world when this gate
stays open like that the gate is useless
when it's not closed so that's what made
these guys choose these women as their
victims so don't fall victim to this
don't stand in a transitional space when
you can simply step inside the gate let
the gate close and then continue on your
discussion to your heart's desire that's
probably the only thing here now the guy
going back into the house to get a gun
okay fine great and i think he did
probably drive them off but too late for
them to not have their stuff stolen
prevention a bigger deal here now of
course in the third one uh this lady is
trying to get in the house she does get
her door closed there but not locked and
where else is she going to go well you
might use the vehicle here but i think
she needed to be armed personally
because you know she had the one who was
having the risk here in the beginning he
did take her out of the vehicle that is
a carjacking that's a violent felony for
sure now is she still at risk here this
carjacking is not finished so when we
say wait a minute was the guy good to
draw a firearm i think he was i think he
was absolutely justified to draw a
firearm here this is still a carjacking
in you know progress and she's still at
significant risk and does he have the
right to stop that carjacking a violent
felony with deadly force well i don't
know about the laws in south africa
certainly in the united states i'd have
no problems with it whatsoever he's
defending her life and certainly i think
even just pointing a firearm here is
really you know not the same level of
force so he gets a gun out and he's
pointing that gun at him and again i
think that's justified here this is in
the process of a violent felony this is
not defending property this is stopping
a violent felony and defending the woman
who is back behind this car and and
certainly he's going to have to go right
past her in order to get out so i think
our defender could certainly feel like
she is at imminent risk of death or
great bodily harm i would say i'd
recommend two hands on the gun he's got
that gun kind of up and sideways so that
it can get over the kind of the
windbreak on that fence i would
recommend two hands on the gun now i
think pointing the gun was a great thing
here giving this guy an opportunity you
know get out of my car and get the heck
out of here because it was effective the
guy noped right the heck out of there
great good so just pointing the firearm
was an effective defense and worked
really well in this instance last thing
i want to say here
for all of your loved ones please hear
me talk to them about what to do in a
defensive encounter if god forbid you
ever have to draw your firearm they need
to know that they need to obey what
you've said and just do what you say
without questioning and without delay
because this is what happens otherwise
they have their own trauma they have
their own emotions here and instead work
out ahead of time listen in the midst of
this i need you to do what i say
immediately because i'm the one who
knows what's going on here of course if
they're a self-defender if they are part
of your protection team then maybe
that's a little bit different but for
the non-defenders in your world teach
them that in these moments of crisis
that you are the scene commander they do
what you say without exception and
without question quickly to make sure
everybody is safe clearly the third one
was very significantly different because
the intended victim was armed i think
that's a lesson in and of itself as we
seek to cover our asp
