Veronica Mars....
I just watched my first ever episode of Veronica Mars. It was good. Can you believe that? I'd have never figured it would be good but I was sitting around bored and it was either that or porn and so I figured, come on, how many times can I watch the same video...well, actually, I can't count the times I've watched THAT video but still...
So, Veronica Mars reminded me of Twin Peaks with the story line about Lily and her mysterious death and stuff. I liked it and hey, Veronica Mars was fucking HOT! I mean, she's smart AND hot.
Regina, this nurse who works in the hospital where I work, had a brother. Had. He was murdered last night, in the town I live in. The town my brother and sister and their children live in. My oldest younger sister lives in a rough ass town called Hot Springs but Benton isn't rough, it's just not. And yet he was stabbed to death here. I don't have all the details and don't think I want them but it does bring me to something else I've learned from studying self-defense.
If someone threatens you with a knife, run. Don't walk, don't try to take it away, run. Period. If he looks like he--or she--does NOT know how to use it, and they are more than 21 feet away, and you have a gun in your hand, shoot them. Because chances are, if they get to you--and according to the Tueler Drill, it will take an average person 1.5 seconds to cover 21 feet from a dead stop--they will kill you with a knife before you can pull the trigger. True story. Check it out, look up Tueler Drill although you make have to check the spelling to get the correct hit. And if the person holding the knife looks like they might know how to use, or just looks violent and aggressive, shoot them. While walking backwards and laterally. Shoot them until they are not a threat.
Knives are scary, much scarier than guns, to me. The wound channel is different, it's more deadly. Often, the helicopter will fly an emergency patient from our hosptial, sometimes gunshots and sometimes knife wounds. If it's a penetration or cutting wound from a knife, they don't survive. They just don't. GSW's survive more frequently. Just food for thought.
So, now I'm off to either do some rewriting or some new writing, can't decide which. And as always, FUCK THE PO-LICE!
