Some min...I could not agree more with both of you. Some minor changes could have prevented the whole thing. It is too bad that so many individuals do not prepare for the 'unthinkable' and go through some thought on how to protect themselves in different situations. I truly hope that some of the suggestions here will help someone else avoid becoming a victim in the future.BusinessKaratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627368447949429761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626395325960132514.post-89928932623787889812012-02-21T09:44:03.541-07:002012-02-21T09:44:03.541-07:00I keep going back to the idea that if the basement...I keep going back to the idea that if the basement door had been locked this whole tragedy might have been averted. After that, the apparent absence of resistance speaks to a lack of training on the part of the Petit women. Simple but effective self defense programs like FAST Defense http://fastdefense.com/ (there are others and I have no financial interest in this particular one) might have given one or more of the women a chance to escape and summon help. In this sort of gravest extreme, a kitchen knife, a pepper spray, or a pistol in the right hands might also have made a difference, but only if each of the Petits had proper mindset. This was a very sad case that lends itself to several useful "what if" questions.Eclectic Breakfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767654149969639962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626395325960132514.post-39686349132536709762012-02-21T08:02:45.910-07:002012-02-21T08:02:45.910-07:00This is a great example of how something as simple...This is a great example of how something as simple as going to the store or out shopping can attract the attention of someone who may follow and target you for a robbery or attack, then or even later.<br /><br />Sadly, what might have been just a home break in and or robbery ended up in the death of the wife and children and left a husband and father to suffer the rest of his life for what happened.Bob Chauncey, CPP (ret), CISM, CIThttp://www.churchsecurityinstitute.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
