The Reality of Modern Criminal Attacks
I recently saw this video and it caused me to think about how common criminal attacks are fundamentally changing. Take a few seconds and watch the clip. Surveillance video shows brutal attack on cashier

Traditionally, the most likely criminal attack most folks would face looked like a single crackhead approaching in a public area with the intention of committing a robbery. The attacks happening today share very few similarities with those that happened five to ten years ago.
My late friend William Aprill often discussed changing perceptions. He said in order to plan a counterattack or act to prevent a particular attack, one had to first contemplate that such an attack could exist. He called it "making a parking space in your head" for the new reality. That's what I'm trying to accomplish with this article. I want to show you what the most common kind of attacks look like so you can make the best plans to avoid or counter them.
