The massive power outage in San Diego County

As we saw this last week in Southern California most of San Diego County was without power for more than 12 hours. No house alarms would function, no ATM machines would perform, and if you desired to get anything such as water or ice you had to pay in money, cold hard cash that was it. This is the worst time to have to prepare for a disaster, that is when you're in the middle of a disaster. Equally genuine is your self-defense and/or the weapons that you might use for your self-defense, now is the worst time to figure out you don't have any and you need some.

House invasion is even more likely in the course of a organic disaster than ever prior to. If you have some thing of worth, this kind of as food and water, and others don't have it, we'll guess who's coming to dinner. I listen to a key radio station located in San Diego and they broadcast reside with no commercial interruptions during the power failure. Folks had been calling in, mostly on their land lines visible seemed to work, and told their power outage stories.

Many of the stories had been of course lack of preparedness for a disaster, such as dead flashlight batteries and even in some instances no way to open canned foods due to the fact they had electric can openers. I guess I never knew that you could take a hefty knife and gradually open a can but then once again I'm a survivalist. We lost our electrical power way out in Palm Springs, Indio, Palm Desert, at the worst time achievable in the middle of the day of a massive heat wave. Luckily, a extremely little community out around the Salton Sea had power when no 1 else did. Even in some areas in San Diego they had been suggesting you boil your water as they are with the chance of sewage contamination.

If you feel about a natural disaster, a energy outage doesn't generally come to thoughts but its criminals delight as alarms don't operate in the police are rather busy. Residence invasions grow to be far more practical for the criminals in natural disasters. such as we saw this week in San Diego. Not only do you want to worry about how you're going to defend your property, your family, your loved ones, but you also need to be concerned about how you're going to feed them. In a residence invasion are usually not a organic disaster and for that reason your sole objective is to repel the attack through individual defence weapons. In a normal disaster you got to find out to survive and also to safeguard your food stocks and your residence. It compounds the problem dramatically.

So if we can take a lesson from San Diego and that is to be ready for a natural disaster and also, now is the time, to take your residence invasion plans and place them in action. You need to have a self-defense weapon or several as I talk about just before, prepared to go before you actually need to have them (self defence item). Now is the time to seriously consider how you would deal with a organic disaster and a home invasion at the very same time. Do not wait for the natural disaster to hit you or your property to be invaded, put your home self defence plans in action nowadays.

Harbor Officers Attacked by Man Wielding a Cane

Harbor Officers Attacked by Man Wielding a Cane:

Los Angeles: Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) patrol officers from Harbor Area were attacked by a suspect armed with a broken cane.

On August 25, 2011, just after 11:10 p.m., Harbor Area Officers responded to a radio call of a “Screaming Man’ in 100 Block of West D Street in Wilmington. When they arrived, they heard screaming coming from the rear of an apartment building. As the officers walked around to the rear of the building, they saw a man who was screaming and breaking the windows of a two- story apartment.

The officers immediately requested back up and proceeded to the apartment. Once inside, they were confronted with a man armed with a cane that had been broken at the hook and had a very sharp edge. The officers ordered the suspect to drop the sharp cane, but did not respond and instead attacked one of the officer’s by striking him repeatedly with the cane. The officers fired the TASER, which struck the suspect in the upper torso. The suspect a 30-year-old Black male, 6’ tall, 250 pounds failed to respond to the TASER and continued his attack on the officers, pinning one of the officers against the wall, while continuing to strike him with the sharp end of the cane. The partner officer at this time drew his service weapon and an officer involved shooting occurred.

The suspect went down, but still attempted to strike at the officers. The officers were able to subdue the suspect and take him into custody.

Los Angeles Fire Department personnel responded and transported the suspect to a local area hospital where he was pronounced dead.

One officer received minor injuries as a result of the incident. He was treated at the scene and released. The cane was recovered at the scene.

LAPD Harbor Area detectives are investigating the initial crime and LAPD Force Investigation Division personnel are investigating the officer involved shooting.

The investigation will ultimately be reviewed by the Chief of Police, the Office of the Inspector General and Board of Police Commissioners for compliance with the Department’s use-of-force policy which states that an officer’s use-of-force actions must be objectively reasonable.

Additionally, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Justice System Integrity Division will conduct a comprehensive review of the facts of the officer-involved shooting.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call Harbor Area Detectives at 310-726-7906. During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247). Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477). Tipsters may also contact Crime Stoppers by texting to phone number 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cell phone. All text messages should begin with the letters “LAPD.” Tipsters may also go to LAPDOnline.org, click on "webtips" and follow the prompts.

Doing a Burglar Walk-Around

I read a lot of article looking for something worth while. This on has some good advice on home self defence as it applies to the physical side of things. One thing that it really points out is the fact of having, or rather not letting the burglars see inside your home, like window shopping. A sight barrier is always a good idea and this also means when you are home. I'm going to be doing some articles on home security systems in the very near future as they are an integral part of your home self-defense. I hope you enjoy this article.... Peter Brusso

Doing a Burglar Walk-Around:
Part of making sure that your home is safe from a home invasion is choosing a good home security system. With the right home security system installed, any potential burglar in his right mind is going to approach your home and then just move on to the next one. Burglars don’t want to have to overcome a home security system; they want to get in and get out fast.

If you want to make sure your home is fully protected, you need to think a little bit like a burglar. Take a walk around and through your home, with the following things in mind:

• Look for places to hide. Can a burglar stand on your front stoop and be hidden from the road? That’s not a good thing. Consider changing some of your landscaping around to allow for a clear view of doors and windows.
• Look for things to steal. Can burglars see into that big picture window in your living room and tell that you’ve got thousands of dollars in high-end stereo equipment? Consider moving valuables away from view, or keeping the curtains closed.
• Test your doors and windows. Are the doors and windows stable? If a burglar can easily kick your door in, a deadbolt doesn’t do you much good. Consider prying gently on your windows and doors using a screwdriver. Don’t do it too hard; you’re just feeling to see if they have any give at all. If so, identify and fix those weak spots.
• Walk down your street. Compare your house and yard with those of your neighbors. Are there things that would entice a burglar? Are there things in your neighbors’ yards that will cause the burglar to pass by? Do everything you can to make your home unattractive to a burglar (without making it unattractive overall, of course).
• Look for visible signs of your security system. While a sticker in the window that says your home is protected doesn’t necessarily keep out burglars, it doesn’t hurt. As a matter of fact, having visible security systems in place will reduce some of those crimes of opportunity. Don’t rely on fake cameras or stickers, but do make sure the burglar knows he’s being watched.
