Potentially Fatal ?Knockout? Game Targeting Strangers May Be Spreading « CBS DC
When people see violence on movies and TV, they don't understand the difference between reality and fantasy. Our society is not only desensitized to violence, they revel in it. For example, in this video, these people do not understand that a person struck in the head may be left with permanent brain injuries ...or die. The victims do not go on to have normal lives as depicted in the movies. They have seizures, learning disorders, speech disorders, mood disorders, relationship problems, job problems ...and the list goes on.
Here is another example that any of us, including our precious loved ones, might be a victim of violent crime anytime, anywhere ...including a mall, restaurant, bank, theater, school, parking lot, parking garage, poor/affluent neighborhood, daytime/nighttime, with numerous people around, hiking/fishing/hunting location, our job ...and in our own home.
But of course, we know that crime only happens to those other kinds of people, not us normal people; and we can put the criminal on hold while we call 911 and wait for the police to arrive 20-120 minutes later, or longer sometimes ...to take a report. And besides, we know that all criminals can always be easily spotted and avoided. Criminals are never attractive, well-mannered, soft-spoken, well-groomed, well-dressed, or females; they're always males of another skin color that look and behave that certain way with the label on their forehead "criminal". And the "crazy" ones? We all know they don't think or feel like us, have the same emotions, or follow the "rules" of normal societal behavior; but we don't have to prepare or plan for them either. They're all taking their meds and locked up somewhere ...I think. Well, I'm pretty sure about all that.
Nonetheless, you and I will have to get out of our “happy place” ...our comfort zone ...if we take specific and thorough steps to prepare for the possibility (eventuality) of being a victim. It's like putting on a car seatbelt. Why do that? We know for certain that you and I will never have a car accident because we're always perfect drivers and we can always avoid that drunk or “stoned” driver or the person zoned out on their phone or radio. And having a fire extinguisher is another example; but you get the idea. I'm charmed with wisdom and good looks ...I mean good luck, so I don't need to be prepared for ...whatever. I’m happy, happy, happy. How about you?
