The best defense is a good
offense.
Tips recommended by defense
experts:
Project confidence. Keep your
head up, scan your surroundings.
Criminals will violate a
victim's personal space as a common test for compliance, so be
assertive.
Walk to your car or house with
keys in your hand.
Never walk or jog wearing
headphones.
Carry a decoy wallet
containing
about $20 and old receipts (nothing with your name or address). If
confronted by a mugger, pull the decoy out, throw it and run.
Carry improvised weapons:
pens,
keys, or other sharp items.
...although, remember
what Eisenhower said when he was Supreme Allied Commander, "Planning is
everything, the plan is nothing".

People, especially
children, being self aware, can take it personally; as a reflection of

If
you feel
any type of mistreated like harassment: make a
detailed note, with a picture
or recording if necessary, of the
who, what, when, where, why, and witnesses. Who saw what
happened? Get their name if they
seem to want to help, as the fees and donations received by the
YMCA afford them the administrators and lawyers who are able
to disprove hate and discrimination by their staff and employees. Don't
let them beat you down * !
If the YMCA insists on
doing this to you, or to any of your family
members, sue them in court for discriminatory
practices which are illegal *. Their Moral
Order is no match for a nation
of laws that call for the separation
of church and state
* which
are necessary if you are a male

who enjoys dating both guys and gals, and are sociable by talking about
your work and family life while
doing you're routine, without being ostracized *
and called
immoral
by their
staff. Report any employee or member
who harasses or causes trouble with their
actions, comments, or
inflames people by gossiping
or spreading rumors. Finally, if you
feel it necessary, take your documentation to your parent, guardian, or
the authorities such as the police department.
Do the same for
safety violations.
I notified
the
manager of a lack of attentiveness by a Palo Alto Family YMCA
lifeguard.

meeting. But less than a year later, a female

was
found dead

swimmers.
