How to avoid becoming a victim of hooligan attacks?

You go quietly to his home or to visit, not bothering anyone, outside the summer, the moon shines, now approaching midnight ... and to you too, someone is coming, and probably no one (judging by the noise they produce). The next thing you hear: "A cigarette is not there?" - What a clumsy attempt to get in touch, go for further action. Here the following behaviors:

1. In history there have been instances when a seemingly harmless situation is even threatening overtones easily drove to the "no". How? Very simple: to make it clear to people that they are in your territory. Your answer should be something like this: "Guys, I do not smoke, but the house may have lying around the old stock of my house not far from here, come with me." It works, but if you do not bluff or bluff with confidence (unless kids do not "at home"). Having chosen this path - keep a friendly and confident.

2. If you have something like Rimbaud boldly take the initiative in their brawny arms and begin to mercilessly exterminate the offenders ... But it's not a movie and not a computer action.
Look out for reinforcements to prostrate companions may come their counterparts, who at the time the incident happened next to go, the numerical superiority will obviously not on your side ... then perhaps the most negative consequences for you, citing the idea of one of the heroes of Ilf and Petrov: " ... will probably be kicking, and even on my head ... "you know, the health of that you have not increase (at least).

If, however, vandals managed to plunge, and you, with a sense of accomplishment about the impact exerted by teachers who successfully returned home, do not be surprised if in the near future to visit you will come from law enforcement authorities and charged with assault have you ...

3. The next version - we pretend that the birth of deaf and ignoring the issues, cheering and hooting from the suspicious crowd quickly goes on his way. I recommend this option fragile girls and effeminate boys, and indeed, what else can you do? It is not excluded that podzadorennaya your "skedaddle," the crowd would reduce the gap and remote to try to impose "heart-to-heart talk." If there is no alternative, the "talking" conversation're on an equal footing, but without the threats and vulgarity (that you do not forgive), fear hiding deep, deep, you can try to find common acquaintances ... In general, the attack - a situation in which there is a predator and the victim (the victim and attacker), so your task - to do so to get everything back to the situation of communication people - people. If you live in an actor's streak - act, behave unexpectedly: to pretend that they saw a friend. Make it clear that you are waiting, perhaps even the company. Draw a furious joy on his face when a passer-by appeared in the distance and go ... long hitters will understand what happened - you'll be far away.

But it happens that all of the above options are not possible, since the attacker:

Several inadequate (alcohol or drugs). All of these substances remove timidity and shyness, I want adventure and romance. Often when an attacker is aware of what happened, too late.

Mentally ill. In this picture the person in front of the eyes is very different from what you see. The reason for the attack on you can be like that "because" the voice said, "instead of you, he sees some monster, or he is watching you a long time, deliberately and carefully studied your trip ... We will not prevaricate - this case is the most dangerous. But also because it is a way out.

Attacking too much. In this case, a man wakes up "herd" instinct. Simply put, the responsibility for this in the "herd" is divided among all participants, that is, it is little, and therefore can do whatever pleases. Most often, this principle works in the teenage group, and the initiator can act does not a leader, the most reckless teenager.

The best option in all these cases - not having to make contact to run away, go away - just leave the scene of conflict. Directed to where there is good lighting and crowded. Notify relatives or friends about the situation (will phone his or borrowed from someone from passers-by) - let them meet you. Use the phone only when you are sure it will not take!

Mentally ill in general can scare any sudden action on your part - the main stay confident, in control should take you, without showing that neither aggression nor tenderness. Do not lose vigilance. Do not trust the attacker.

European and American schools of survival recommend if you are a victim of the attack, be loyal, to carry out criminal orders, just to give valuable things. At the earliest possible opportunity - to run away and, of course, refer to the appropriate authorities.

But since we live far from America, to adhere to these recommendations should be with caution. Is not always the attackers operate for profit. Does not always appeal to the appropriate authorities produces the effect that it needs. In addition, obedience and passivity of the victim may cause intruders to aggressive actions.
