to break the bystander effect there is
power in numbers many thanks to MagTek
ammunition for sponsoring today's video
it's the only ammunition that goes
through my pistols or rifles and is the
best stuff on the range welcome to
today's active self-protection lesson
from the Philippines I'm John Correa
your host and today we're going to see a
video that in many ways makes almost no
sense as a man checks out and buys a
knife and then turns around and stabs
the cashier who just sold it to him I've
sped up the beginning for the sake of
time here where this man comes over and
buys a knife from this store now the
only information that I have you have
more information put it in in the
comments was that this was random but
this doesn't feel random as he takes the
knife that he just bought out of the bag
he just bought it and grabs this cashier
and starts to go to work on her friends
and notice that the bagger that's
working with her is trying to kind of
figure something out but he is just
getting after her time and time again
another employee comes in at this point
doesn't guess a job in the moment of
trying to get him off of her but notice
he has that leveraging arm on her and
he's not letting her go in anyway has
her down on the ground and the other
employee is not able to get him off of
her and not able to get away and you can
see on the far right now as they've
changed you could see how how much time
he has several minutes are going by
until finally a bystander uses a cart
grab some canned goods or something
starts throwing him at him and when he
does now everybody else starts as well
and could see that guy put his hands up
because the crowd is coming and now it's
time for a little bit of street justice
as they finally got him off of her but
they're they're gonna take it out on him
and they're gonna give him a pretty good
whoopin here and some educational
beatdown while they wait for the police
to arrive you'll see the police come in
here at the very end and Friends I wish
I had more information on exactly how it
goes from there but they stopped him at
this point and that's where this one
ends I'm not positive if there was a
personal thing there sure looks like it
to me
but I have a poll question for you out
of this one and that is if you were the
first bystander the first guy who
stepped in would you have stepped in or
would given the fact that he had a knife
and you probably wouldn't would you have
stayed away let me know what your
thoughts are in the poll me personally I
take a lot of empty handed
but boy does it take an awful lot of
emotional fitness to step in especially
for somebody who's not like directly
related to you or something like that
out of today's video I really want to
think about the true nature of evil as
one of our lessons today secondly I want
to talk about an empty handed skills
particularly against a knife-wielding
attacker and breaking the bystander
effect and the power of numbers first
lesson I think that we get to look at
today is the fact that evil exists and
attacks are gonna come in sometimes when
you least expect it and you may not be
able to see it coming in advance but you
better be ready because when it comes
you have very little time now notices
he's gonna come over here and start this
attack that she has some opportunity if
she had incredibly robust attitude
skills and plan notice that he grabs
ahold of her and he starts raising that
up but he has too close to contact
distance get a robust empty handed
skillset you have some kind of chance
but I'm gonna tell you that a knife
attack like this at this kind of
distance and he's holding it in an
icepick grip right there at that point
very very difficult and you do have to
have some significant level of skills
and trained quite a bit in order to have
hope of getting out of there and she
certainly doesn't now notice here that
he's using the leveraging arm as well
very rare that I actually see the
leveraging arm like this with an icepick
grip but occasionally especially when
it's personal we can't see it like this
and this is one of the reasons that I
think this is personal but dealing with
that leveraging arm and understanding
the five DS plus one of closing the
distance and then deflect dominate
distract disarm disable are the paths
that we see work again and again in real
life encounters against armed attackers
when you're not armed yourself now
thinking about you know again bystanders
here the first gals trying to step in
but she wants to stay out of the
distance I totally get that and when the
second guy comes in notice the fact that
it's very difficult for him that he's
having a hard time emotionally don't
blame him for that a bit but this is why
I really strongly encourage you to keep
as much tools on you as you can and and
if you possibly can this is why I tell
people to carry firearms recognize that
this is in the Philippines that's very
very difficult for a private citizen to
do there but any kind of tool on you
whether that's an improvised tool a
flashlight you can use as a Koopa tan
something that you can use as a force
multiplier is highly helpful free for
anybody in this instance also
guys incredibly determined makes it very
very difficult now I can't imagine that
this lady made it and so I really do
want to talk about spiritual fitness
friends you want to make sure that
you've said everything you need to say
to your loved ones and that you have a
strong relationship with Jesus because
you may not get another opportunity to
do that finally that you have to be able
to defend yourself because even with
bystanders around they weren't able to
get him off of her you are the primary
agent in your own rescue I do love here
that this bystander grabs something and
used an environmental weapon at distance
that's another lesson that we can use
here because the knife is a short-range
implement having a longer range tool
gives you an advantage over the
knife-wielding attacker now we've seen
other ones in the past down the channel
where a deputy used the can of baked
beans to stop some guy doing and we see
some more effect here as well this is an
environmental weapon and it's able to
give him some distance if you can find
an environmental weapon that gives you
some distance and ability to multiply
force so much the better even if it's a
can of beans that's silly but it you
know if it works it works right finally
friends breaking the bystander effect
you see once somebody broke the
bystander effect everybody broke the
bystander effect so maybe recruiting a
couple of other bystanders and getting
in there can help to turn the tide and
once one person was willing to step in
others were so that can be a viable
strategy as well rather than going in
yourself recruiting a couple of others
and everybody going in at once to give
yourself some force multiplication some
serious lessons to learn here friends
that one's not easy but they are
important to help us cover our ass
