TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS

[bulldog75]

Trust that little voice. If you hunt like I do. I bet deer do not sit around and say you are paranoid, no they are alive because that little voice said bolt and they did, the ones that did not listen to that voice are in the freezer. 



I am a police officer and a soldier and alive this long because when you get that feeling of uneasy something is going on.

I went to a domestic on a monday morning at 9 a.m. and I got to the door and I felt uneasy and I could hear the screaming from inside and I stopped and stood to the side of the door and when I knocked it fell silent and then I knocked again and a woman came out screaming he has a gun. He was hiding behind the door with a shotgun and was waiting for me to come busting in. He was a former police officer too.

I can't begin to tell you the number of times over the years, I've interviewed crime victims, who told me something like; "I thought something was suspicious about that guy, but I didn't want to offend him, or make him think I'm a racist.""

Or; "When I saw him (her) something just didn't seem right  I thought about going the other way, (or calling 9-1-1) but thought I was just being paranoid."

Many rape victims have told me when the suspect first approached and "...began hitting on me, I didn't want to be rude (or seem like a racist) so I went with him for just one drink." 

The Lord equipped all animal species with a built in ability to sense danger.  Hunters know what I'm talking about.  That sense is also included in the human species, but we have been conditioned over time to ignore them.  We were endowed with big brains and the ability to reason.  Over the centuries our reasoning and rationalizing ability has overpowered our ability to recognize our sense of danger and survival.  We have been conditioned to be "sensitive" and bullied into ignoring our sense of danger, at the risk of being labeled by the "thought police" as insensitive, or heaven forbid, profiling.   Political "correctness" and propaganda has placed us in danger, in more ways than just one. 

We all have the sense of detecting danger, which makes the little hairs stand up on the backs of our necks, similar to many other species of mammal.  We get signals such as adrenalin dumps which trigger the fight or flight response.  Humans need to be re-conditioned to listen to and recognize our instincts and not intellectualize or rationalize them away.  Train your loved ones in the natural senses of survival, and provide them with the tools to do something about it.

On Sept 10 - 01 I passed a car on Spaulding Turnpike here in NH, (It runs into I 95 ) I noticed that the body language of the 2 men in it was "off", They looked more like 2 lone individuals than 2 guys riding together and the Passenger look really PO'd .
I saw them the next day on CNN.
The passenger was Mohamed Atta, leader of the 9-11 hijackers.
Trust your instincts !

Same thing that happened to me in Charleston. Two black kids across a quiet street late at night. I'm told to be PC as a teacher, but they looked "off"'. I kept walking, they crossed to my side and it was obvious something was wrong so I grabbed some wall, and my Glock and waited. The expected happened and they took off when they saw the gun. If I'd just kept walking, thinking, "I'm being racist, its probably nothing", I'd have been SOL. Its not racism, its situational awareness. I will admit skin color is part of it, but its more body language, bearing, intention of movement and all those things you can't explain to a jury. That caveman side of your brain just knows. When it does, you'd best listen.
