against territorial violence a counter
Ambush is a powerful tool
hi everyone this is John with today's
active self-protection lesson out of the
Dominican Republic here we are going to
see a home invasion robbery that is
going to go very badly for the home
Invaders we're going to learn important
lessons here about transitional spaces
about launching counter ambushes and
pursuing the fight far enough and no
further so we have four different angles
that are useful here and you see the
motorcyclists in the bottom left pull up
and across this guy in the driveway and
drive him off they they show a gun there
you can see in the top left the guy with
the helmet on has a gun in his right
hand so the guy in the blue shirt
wanders off and now he's gonna the guy
in the red there is going to keep the
garage door from closing there or at
least the carport door very common here
uh to have these kind of things in the
Dominican Republic and he's waiting for
his partner now these other folks are
going to come out and go wait why did
the door knock close well he points a
gun at him when they do and so we see
this woman here is going to go ahead and
comply and get down on the ground like
he said when his partner shows up now
they don't know that the guy that's in
the car is armed and when he gets out
out he comes out shooting and now he's
an older gentleman so we see this woman
grab the gun from him and now we're
going to move up to the other side as
she goes after these guys chases the
first one off comes back and looks at
for the second one back in the house
make sure everybody's okay then she's
actually gonna come back outside start
warning the neighbors kick over the
guy's motorcycles which I thought was
pretty funny
and then this one's gonna end right here
with them warning all the neighbors with
what's going on let's go back now and
let's learn some lessons out of this one
there are some significant ones we want
to think about first of all is these
transitional spaces when you're pulling
a car in you're going to get into those
kind of spots this guy just rolls up and
he tells this guy to get out of there
now I don't blame this guy for walking
off too much if he's not armed now you
might say dude he's got people to defend
in there but I don't know exactly what
their relationship is so I'm going to
give him the benefit of the doubt and
say look if you're not armed you can't
affect the issue get out of the danger
zone go get help if you possibly can he
kind of wanders off and you see him kind
of just get out of the danger zone nice
and slow so the guy's not paying
attention to him and that's a pretty
good idea and now he stops the garage
door there and in these kind of
transitional spaces if we're thinking
about being the older gentleman that's
in the car you got to think about
launching your counter Ambush and when
that's going to come now these ladies on
the other hand the first one you see get
out of the danger zone but the second
one has to comply if you're ambushed
there you know she had a gun pointed at
her she didn't have one on her herself
there's really nothing you're going to
do in that moment to stop those guys so
sometimes compliance until you can
launch a counter Ambush is absolutely
the right choice she didn't really have
any other ones here and so now when
these guys come in now let's think about
this from the Grandpa's perspective as
they open his car door first of all if
you've had this much time you've had
time to get the gun in hand to know what
you're going to do and go okay I'm going
to counter Ambush these guys and I think
this gentleman did a fantastic job he
waited for his opportunity didn't jump
the gun when they opened his car door it
was on and he puts I don't know how many
shots in whomever but he comes out of
that sucker shooting now you might ask
why did she take the gun away from him
well if you pay attention to how he's
running clearly an older gentleman here
this kind of feels like hey Grandpa give
me the gun let me go get these guys here
but of course he did a fine job would
have been perfectly okay to leave that
gun in his hand but you know if you've
got elderly relatives you might have
done the same thing in that instance
what I may not recommend here is her
running out after these guys I get that
you want to make sure that you've driven
off the threat but when you run outside
after him you put yourself back in the
danger zone they might shoot at you to
get away they might try to counter
Ambush you or there might be additional
accomplishes outside that you don't know
about so I'd really recommend instead
that you don't do that however at least
this woman here as soon as that first
threat's gone she starts looking for
additional threats she doesn't get black
dot Focus here doesn't get focused on
any one threat and then this is instead
scanning and assessing to see what's
going on that was a very good idea when
she goes back inside here I'm going to
highly recommend close that garage door
man close that door so that they can't
get into you again don't come out here
and kick their bikes over I don't care
about that call the cops and and get to
safety instead so in an overall sense
man the elderly gentleman did a
fantastic job of launching to counter
Ambush they use compliance at the right
time they drove the threat off
incredibly effectively let's think about
our follow-up skills here so that we can
cover our asp
