She needs to go to situational awareness school, and learn how to assess threats better. Engaging in a conversation with the perps, she allowed herself to be interviewed and sized up by the perps. They got every signal that they could succeed with the robbery. She allowed herself to be put in a position where she could be exploited.

1. Out in the neighborhood at 6:30 am to walk her dogs. Should be able to, but sh*t happens.
2. Allowing herself to be approached and engaged in a conversation by complete strangers. This is not a time to be nice. She was being interviewed at this point.
3. Complied with a request from this total stranger to call a total stranger. Perp is determining how far he can take this. She already complied with his bullsh+t request once.
4. She had to go hard defensive when the perp presents a weapon. Big time disadvantage tactically.
5. She then has to go hand to hand with an armed criminal and gets a beat down. Lucky she walked away.

She did fight back and that was not what the perp was expecting after his interview and size up, and it probably saved her big time.

With all due respect here Ms. Cowles, no atta girls given by me on this situation. She made multiple mistakes and needs to learn from that and change her tactics and approach.

I appreciate your Monday morning quaterbacking of the encounter with it's notable points to ponder, however, she survived a criminal encounter where many gals have not. She refused to be a victim, didn't freeze, fought for her life and "WON" against her attackers even though she probably hasn't studied the tactical techniques we are familiar with that "everyone should know".

I'm quite certain she took home many lessons that she will apply to habits, behavior, and tactics for future reference, as well as a deep thankfulness that she did not end up a statistic.
I stand by my 'atta girl' assessment of the situation.

I'm guessing this wasn't Dayton, Oregon

Not Monday morning quarterbacking in my opinion. You could take that situation times 1000 every day in this country. I too agree she needed to fight back, and that shows she has what it takes to take additional steps to insure her security.

Just say it ................what race were they? What race was she?
When giving a description to help LE catch them their race is a damned important part of that.
White, Black, Hispanic, Asian ..... Makes a difference and PC Bull doesn't cut the mustard in
describing them without it.
PC is a form of terrorism in accusation when you get down to it.
People fear telling the complete story.
It perpetuates the problem !

with a name like Demarcus.. it should be pretty well known the race of this little obama supporter.

Obvious to everyone she was attacked by Amish conservatives, they are a real rough bunch

Bad guys or not, who would mess with a big guy with a bulge in his pants & rottweilers?

 

[mjbskwim]

I'd love to get matched up with those rotties.
I'd make Ceasar blush when they both laid down to my command

They are trained in German and also only to obey us

They won't even accept water from a stranger

Walking the wrong kind of dogs, lady!

 

[orygun]

I'm glad she stood up to them. Too bad their parents (parent) didn't teach them better.

All of the labs I've owned listened well, but only to me. You may know the command, but you aren't the "boss".
Besides, I've always told people that it's not the dogs you need to worry about.

Done it with rots before. After a couple minutes with me,they understand who is in control. I don't care who trained them.
* If you want evidence bring your dog to my yard*
Dogs are easy to control.Especially big dogs.Once they get lifted off the ground they understand they are not in control any more
They may draw blood but I guarantee you I will be in control at the end of the session

 

[mjbskwim]

Yes both at once
