I agree that preemptive communication during the target evaluation phase of an encounter can take you out of the "good victim" category and convince them to keep looking for a better one. It's subtle but it works, and I know that because I've used it.03Lightningrocks wrote:Most likely the situation would be of you walking by a group of teens who look to be minding their own business. Then one of them will rare back and sucker punch you. The trick is to look each and every one of them dead in the eye and say. Hello gentlemen. Then watch for any movements that indicate a punch is coming. I think the correct answer is to maintain space but I am a little more aggressive than that.

It needs to stop.Three teenagers accused of killing a 62-year-old father-of-12 in West Rogers Park were playing a game called “Pick ‘em out and knock ‘em down” when they videotaped themselves punching him in the face, prosecutors say.
A well publicized instance of target selection error would quite likely go a long ways toward helping thugs understand that the downside isn't always on the part of the intended victim.
