Who here watches it? For those who don’t, it’s a You Tube channel that features a daily video of a defensive encounter with analysis. I would highly recommend that everyone check it out.

Those familiar with it know that many of the videos show people being robbed by thugs who roll up on a moto, and that in many parts of Central and South America that is usually a prelude to a robbery.
So when we were leaving a nice restaurant in Seaside Heights last night and a young guy rode up and stopped to talk with us, I feared the worst. And as the restaurant has a liquor license, I was unarmed to boot. When the rider started chatting with us, I figured that was the ruse that would precede a robbery. He started asking us about the restaurant and how we liked it, as I kept a close eye on him from a safe distance. Finally, he said that it sounded good and that he was going to come back to try it some night, and then proceeded to ride away.
I guess it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

It has been a while but I used to watch a lot of his stuff. I have like the exact opposite of a criminal mind. I cannot even conceive of some of the screwed up things crminals do.. I watch(d) ASP to learn how to be more vigilant.

Okay, and maybe watch some BGs get what for.

I used to. Definitely less nowadays. But it’s good information for sure.

I watch it once in a while, I think 95% of his videos are from 3rd world country’s so you have to try and compare it to how it would play out in a blue US state. he needs to figure out his hair thing as well, kind of creeps me out with that trans look.
Distraction thefts/assaults are a real thing, whenever I’m approached by an unknown I move around and kind of circle them to see whats around me even if its a solicitor at my front door.
