a person's home is their castle but a
castle is only as secure as its
defenders thanks for joining us on
today's act of self-protection lesson
I'm your host John Correa today's video
comes to us from Shreveport Louisiana in
the u.s. thanks to wilderness tactical
products for sponsoring today's video
look for a link in the description for
five dollars off on the ankle first-aid
kit that I wear every day just after
midnight when this guy hears a knock at
the door don't know if he'd ordered some
food or something whatever but he opens
the door and guy kicks it in and now
this guy's just stalking this guy down
go read the police report that I've
linked in the description and they don't
see anything about foul play or anything
like that but these guys are random home
invaders and they pin this guy up
against the wall pulled him onto the
ground here and and start assaulting him
I'm gonna grab his cell phone and
they're yakking at him you see the guy
in black who is going to close the door
and now they're just gonna start beating
on him and again the news story linked
in the description says they identified
the guy in red but not the guy in black
so far and the guy in red stomps this
victim several times actually knocked
him cold and it took them quite a while
but police Shreveport police did catch
the guy in red they stole a bunch of
stuff from the guy's house and that's
where it ends man this one is a mess and
we have an awful lot that we need to
talk about here I do have a question for
you out of this one do you open your
door especially at night when there's a
knock on the door or do you have
something like a video doorbell or a
peephole and just talk to people through
the door I'm curious what you do let's
think about that as one of our lessons
let's think about the fact that your
front door is the transitional space in
your home that and your garage when the
garage door comes open because you're
not in charge of what's going on outside
you don't know what's happening out
there outside but the way that you can
start to ameliorate that is being able
to see out there but recognize that this
is an idea that says okay I want to see
what's going on out here and people get
deliveries at home all the time just
recognize every time somebody comes to
your door that you want to be a little
cautious and know what's coming and know
what's going before you commit to
opening that door so this guy's just
gonna come up right now and he can't see
out his door and he unlocks the
door and out it comes can't tell you
enough something like a you know a video
doorbell or something like that a
peephole even is excellent to have
because you don't have to unlock the
door and you can talk to who's on the
other side can I help you or whatever
and yes people are ordering from food
delivery and package delivery and stuff
like that all the time especially with
quarantines and stuff like that but
knowing who's out there before you
unlock the door because it's a barrier
and once you unlock the door you've
defeated the barrier for that bad guy
now then he gets the door open and that
guy kicks this door Ian and I think this
is an excellent reason here to home
carry and and I know that not
everybody's going to home carry but I
think a stored handgun even a staged
handgun in the kitchen or somewhere
nearby is probably too slow to get to
which is why if you're gonna go to your
front door especially at midnight like
this guy is I do recommend that you know
you keep a gun in your pocket or
something of course properly holster to
meets the requirements and all those
things because if he had that at this
point this guy kicking in his front door
this is absolutely a time to get a gun
up and out on somebody and say get out
of my house or whatever and again if he
doesn't get out of your house now you've
got a home invader who means you deadly
harm and those kinds of things next
thing here you got to have an attitude
of self-defense this guy is not a self
defender and I'm not blaming him for
being victimized here but you can just
see from his body language that he's
just curled up trying to protect himself
and saying don't hurt me with his body
language while his attacker has got his
head leaned in in his all the way on the
aggression so empty-handed skills
incredibly important me especially if
you're not gonna carry a firearm also
having the attitude that says no you
broke into my house and it is coming
hard
back at you right now get out of here so
that I can get myself to safety I think
is incredibly valuable because he
doesn't have that he's got big problems
here next thing we have multiple
attackers and about one-third of all the
attacks on the channel that we narrate
involve multiple attackers that is a
significant number and another great
reason to have a firearm or other force
multiplier on your person we see people
that instead have OC spray or something
like that I think an OC spray might have
done well here not at this point when
they've got ahold of him but when he
opened the door and the guy busted the
door in if he had an OC spray in his
hand would work just fine to get rid of
these guys but multiple attackers makes
it much harder and so about an order of
magnitude more difficult recognize that
coming in now these guys are gonna just
beat this guy down and get him on the
ground you won't really want to do what
you can to keep from getting taken to
the ground but you don't always have a
say in that matter and now they're gonna
close the door and try to get him
isolated they do that now you got two on
one attacking this guy and just stomping
his head in and friends this is evil I
mean evil like this exists they
absolutely don't care for him at all
they didn't care for him they wouldn't
bust it down his door like they did and
again you got to be ready to protect
yourself because this kind of evil does
exist in our world and gives no cares to
you to your loved ones or to what that
and could mean for you and they knock
this guy cold by stomping him with a
shod foot I will tell you in most
jurisdictions when if you kick somebody
with a shod foot who is on the ground
and you stomp them in a downward
direction like that that changes from
simple assault to aggravated assault
because now you are talking about a
deadly weapon and the chance of having
you know significant serious grievous
bodily harm done significantly higher so
but again that law doesn't help us in
the sense of this particular guy because
he it doesn't help us that the law says
he can't do that because our gonna do it
anyways only you can bring justice in
the moment which is why we say you have
to protect yourself you have to be ready
and willing to defend yourself because
no amount of police presence is going to
help us in this you and you alone have
to do that now again it looks like our
victim made it through this but I do
want to remind us all to practice
spiritual fitness that you've made peace
with everyone that you possibly can
especially your loved ones and that you
and Jesus have a strong relationship
because he easily could have died in
this one and you want to have that on
the day that you go to heaven and that
you meet God and and make sure as well
that emotional fitness component is
strong you're empty handed skills are
strong think about home carry out of
this one make sure as well that you can
see out your front door via a peephole
or some kind of a video doorbell to help
you cover your ass
