and more common all over the world

i'm showing you a still here that lapd
let go this guy here was watching this
mom and her two kids uh in the post
office and then when mom got her kids
back in the car and left he and his
girlfriend followed her because she was
wearing a very expensive watch doesn't
say in the news description that i
linked in the description what that
watch was but in particular he was
looking for a watch so they drive up on
this bmw and i'm not even joking that's
a nice bmw they're gonna sit there for a
minute you can see the bystander there
doesn't matter there he is now gonna
walk up to mom point a gun at her and
demand her watch while she is
unstrapping her toddlers from their car
seats and she is going to give him that
watch and if you go check the news
stories they did actually catch this guy
and his girlfriend
with like 56 000 in cash and a gun he
was a prohibited possessor especially
some serious jail time for this but they
never did find her watch in the second
one what we're going to see is we see
this lady coming home she backs into her
parking spot you're going to see on the
right side her husband is going to come
up the stairs and now their gate is
going to start closing i've sped it up
for the sake of time this these two
robbers or three robbers really come out
and they just barely get in the gate
and and you know if you go read the news
story on this one it's it's absolutely
hilarious
the way that the the homeowner here
talks about how this whole thing went
down because they're just going to hold
him here at first they were thinking
about stealing the car but apparently
decided instead that they wanted to
steal this woman's possessions that she
had some jewelry on her that they really
liked and so they wanted to steal her
watch and a an engagement and wedding
set that belonged to her mother that she
was wearing around her neck and then
some bangles that she was wearing that
they had a hard time getting off and
that he said here that she had her hand
on the hooter the entire time which i
think is south african for horn trying
to get the neighbors to come in and see
what's going on but they're not and so
he's sitting there arguing with them
about what they can take and if they're
hurting his wife and whatever now
finally the driver of the getaway car
starts yelling at these guys if it's
time to go so they grab what they can
and they run off and he is gonna grab a
big piece of concrete and decide to eat
it after him it doesn't hit him though
and they got away and were never found
let's think lessons hey friends check it
out fresh merch we got rid of our merch
company and we just decided to do it
ourselves because we wanted to have cool
stuff check it out the brand new asp
logo t-shirt if you go look one of our
fans made the asp logo using the words
good sane sober moral prudent it's super
cool you can get one on our website the
prices are good and the proceeds
partially benefit charity so go pick one
up now the first thing on this one this
guy was paying attention to this woman
with her small children totally okay of
course for her to be out with her kids
and even okay for her to have nice
things like a nice watch but recognize
that a nice watch that that flashy
jewelry can be a sign to a particular
potential attacker hey you have
valuables you know i have valuables that
you might want to take so if you like to
wear those you better have the
opportunity and know that you need to
protect yourself now he goes and sits
there if you're paying attention when
you see this guy come and do something
that you that you don't think is right
then hey maybe you pay attention to that
but of course she's trying to get her
kids out of the car so this is a very
vulnerable time for mom hard to do when
you're on the street like this but of
course if you are paying attention i
always say to moms that are getting
their kids out of the car to make sure
that you kind of set a timer in your
head that you help the kids for 10 or 12
seconds look around you make sure
everything is normal help the kids for a
few seconds and as soon as they can as
soon as they're old enough to do it let
them get themselves out of the car maybe
you hit the buckle and then they work
their own way out of the vehicle might
take a little bit longer but let you
kind of pay attention yes i do recommend
that moms carry a firearm as well
especially in a post brewing world
everybody that's a good saint sober
moral prudent person i think should
consider it because again there's
nothing going to bring back this mom's
sense of security because this guy stole
from her pointed a gun at her threatened
her children if she didn't comply yes
she lost her watch but the watch isn't
the thing that was at stake here it was
her life so paying attention especially
in transitional spaces having a tool on
your person knowing how to use it and
and especially when you got little ones
very important this one's more of a
crime of opportunity i think it's great
that she was backing in recognize that a
gate like this is very common in many
parts of the world south africa being
one of them but it only has any effect
when it's closed
and so again when when it's sitting here
in this open position and they use that
as an opportunity to attack hey you got
to pay attention to your surroundings
and if i lived in south africa would i
carry it home the answer to that is
absolutely yes if i lived in a place
that i felt like a gate or you know on
my front yard was significant like that
that i certainly think home carry is a
wise thing you've got to look at your
own particular set of vulnerabilities
and priorities in those things and
that's not a cut and dried issue for
sure but depending on where you live it
might be a valuable thing otherwise
keeping them staged or whatever but if
he didn't have a gun on him here there's
nothing he's going to do you got two
armed attackers here i would recommend
to comply fully or resist fully the the
big thing here he's kind of arguing with
them about what they can take they got a
gun and they're willing to point a gun
at you i would i i would assume that
that gun is loaded assume that they're
willing to use it and if you're going to
resist resist fully now instead he kind
of negotiates with these guys the other
part of that is no one's coming to save
you the police aren't going to be there
in time the neighbors aren't coming you
could honk the horn all you want but at
most the neighbors are probably going to
think about that that it is annoying and
wonder why are you annoying them the
chances of them actually coming to help
i think are pretty miniscule and so
recognize that you are the primary agent
in your own rescue and in this case i
mean it's terrible thing to lose your
jewelry but guys pointing guns at you
probably if you don't have a firearm to
launch a counter ambush your best bet is
probably to comply especially because
they didn't want to go in the house and
you know take you in the house and do
those things now of course yielding this
brick adam i get it that that makes you
feel good might make them come back and
shoot at you though or at least shoot as
they leave so again comply fully resist
fully pay attention to your surroundings
make sure that you have defensive tools
available to you to cover your asp
