THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

37th Battalion (The Lucky Batch☘️)

I’m still absolutely mad at this writer’s block that had settled in my brain like a little bastard but i managed to finish this super short ficlet before it consumed me :,)

Kenhla’s first impression of Sparks ( @cosmicghostie )

First Impressions

The first time she’d talked to him one on one, in one of those moments when ranks and titles were nothing more than armors they had taken off for a moment to breathe, it’d been in the mess hall of the cruiser at ungodly hours of the night cycle.

She hadn’t really expected to find anyone there at 3 am. Battles were exhausting, and the day after they were over, the clones usually collapsed in their bunks to recover, the Clover silent for once. That’s why as she finally reached the mess’ door, ready to pick a cup or two of caff to keep her company while she wrote reports, the Force signature of someone already inside had her brow shifting into a confused frown.

The door slid open with a quiet swoosh and, when her eyes adjusted to the dim lighting in the room, she spotted a figure slouched on a corner, his back turned towards her. There was a sad shadow clinging to his shoulders, weighing him down, and a sigh escaped his lips before he took another sip from what, Kenhla was sure by the smell, was very strong caff.

By the way his thoughts were scattered in his head, the togruta had an inkling on what the powerful dose of caffeine was helping him avoid.

“Trooper,” she called softly, walking towards him with casual steps and sitting on the bench across from him.

He looked up at her, yanked back to reality by her voice, and scrambled to set his drink down, hand clumsily reaching up for a salute.

She’d been right: he was one of the latest recruits.

“General, I—“ he stammered, eyes shifting as he tried to explain what he was doing outside the barracks at this hour, fighting the tiredness that was obviously heavy on his body. She noticed the dark bags under his eyes, and chastised herself for not paying closer attention to the new clones’ faces and habits.

“At ease,” she told him, and smiled reassuringly as he hesitantly put his hands down, unsure. She nodded at the half-empty mug sitting before him, already cold. “Is it good?’

The clone hesitated, trying to understand what exactly she was trying to do. “Uh, yes, sir.”

“Liar.” She grinned, stretching her arms casually behind her to try to ease the knots on her back. “They always send us the worst, most low-quality caff in the entire galaxy. Kriffing thing is so bitter it took me seven cycles to become numb to the taste.” She scrunched up her nose. “I’m surprised you haven’t gone to see Pepper yet; you definitely should. Trust me, your guts will appreciate it."

The soldier couldn’t help but snort at her comment. Kenhla could see the tension slowly easing as he gradually realized her presence was not something to be weary of, but a casual gesture of comfortable interaction between two sleepless people.

“I've had better, that's for sure.” He gave the remaining caff at the bottom of the cup a resigned look. “But this’ll do.”

“Cheers to that, soldier.” She nodded, the glint in her eyes drenched in sarcasm.

The Jedi chuckled as he downed the last dregs of the beverage, his face twisting in disgust as the caff personally attacked his senses. She got up, and gestured to the kitchen with her head in quiet invitation.

“What’s your name, trooper?” she asked him as he stood up, scooping the now empty mug from the table. “Your actual name?”

“Sparks, sir.”

Kenhla patted his shoulder with a smile. “Well, Sparks, feeling up for another cup of terrible, cursed caff?”

He couldn’t help but roll his eyes with dread, yet he followed her to the supply room to get more of the awful thing. “Can’t wait, General.”

“Atta boy.”

I want to write one for each of the boys but writer’s block is being a little bastard and i want to scream aaaaaa
