"He told me not to yell or he was going to hurt me. He was going to shoot me or stab me. Once he said that, I yelled at the top of my lungs. I didn't even think twice about it, I started fighting back. I started kicking him and punching him,” she said.
...
She added, “When he told me, I'm going to hurt you and shoot you, I thought go ahead and try it because I'm going to fight back. If you hit me I'm going to hit you right back.”
=================================================
I often suggest readers here who have not yet read it, obtain a copy of Jeff Cooper's essential little primer on mindset, Principles of Personal Defense (http://www.paladin-press.com/product/Principles_of_Personal_Defense/Other_Combat_Shooting).
[/I] The sixth principle is RUTHLESSNESS... and the seventh is SURPRISE.
I'm very glad "Natalie" was able to fight off her attacker, and survived the attack thereby. But I wish even more she had not had to fight in the first place.
I always encourage people I care about not to linger in parking lots in unlocked cars. Get in - LOCK UP - buckle up - crank up and DRIVE. Don't just sit there.
As always, if you can AVOID the attack, you don't have to FIGHT OFF the attacker...
