This is a rare event, normally nobody helps when they see crime committed, even less if there are firearms involved, but as in many states in the USA concealed carry of guns is legal, is the single factor that made it possible for a civilian to save a police officer from being murdered by a deadly intervention that started with a verbal warning but ended with the use of deadly force to stop the murder.

Insane machete fight from Dominican Republic

I have a theory that most attacks with either long blunt or bladed weapons will be delivered in a horizontal angle at shoulder height, as it is the most natural height to swing at full speed at an opponent. This theory is based on watching persons with no martial arts training doing that consistently, even if they have received a week of intensive training. What really got me started on watching for it was seeing a show from BBC, called Last Woman Standing that was a female version of Last Man Standing, the competitors were athletes from various sports and competed against local tribes in their traditional sport, which could be wrestling against a small tribe in the Amazon at the annual wrestling competition, all the challenges were hardcore, but one of them was stick fighting in the Philippines against professional military women soldiers who had trained Pekiti Tirsia Kali for many years, they actually did win the fights and they did it not by using what they had been taught, but by swinging full speed and power horizontally, as the adrenaline rush and fear kicked in and they didn’t expect that they should fight each other in a full contact stick fighting tournament. So I started to look if that was a common attack, and so far I am right when it is not trained persons, so that has changed my priority to what attack to learn how to deal with first, the horizontal caveman swings.

WASHINGTON — Is your workplace getting shot up by a crazed gunman?

No problem — just grab a pair of scissors and fight back!

That’s some of the helpful advice in a new instructional video from the Department of Homeland Security that was posted on the agency’s Web site just a month after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

“If you are caught out in the open and cannot conceal yourself or take cover, you might consider trying to overpower the shooter with whatever means are available,” says the narrator in the video, which shows an office worker pulling scissors out of a desk drawer.

DUCK AND CUTTER: A Homeland Security video shows these scenes as helpful advice to workers on what to do if a mass killer strikes their office — grab any weapon at hand, and hide under a desk. 

The video, titled “Options for Consideration,” also advises that people who get caught in an “active shooter” situation should run away, hide under a desk or take cover out of the line of fire.

The nearly four-minute-long video opens with chilling scenes from the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, and the 2011 attempted assassination of Gabrielle Giffords.

But the video quickly shifts to hokey footage of office workers scampering under desks, crouching in corners and racing into closets to hide from a rampaging gunman on the loose.

“To protect your hiding place, lock the door if you can. Block the door with heavy furniture,” recommends the male narrator, speaking in measured, authoritative tones.

Other survival strategies promoted in the video include hiding “behind large items such as cabinets or desks. Remain quiet. Silence your cellphone or pager. Even the vibration setting can give away a hiding position.”

Richard Feldman, president of the Independent Firearm Owners Association, said he has a better option for consideration than a pair of scissors when confronting an armed mass murderer — a legal firearm.

“That’s why I prefer a gun, and I usually do carry a gun when it is lawful to do so,” said Feldman. “Clearly, you use whatever you can” to fight for your life, he said.

So if scissors are all you’ve got, grab them by all means.

The video is part of the Obama administration’s ongoing campaign to reduce firearm violence in the wake of the horrific mass murder last month of 20 children and six teachers in Newtown, Conn., said a Homeland Security official.

Homeland Security has operated an active-shooter preparedness-training program for years, and the “Options for Consideration” video was in production prior to the Dec. 14 shooting in Newtown.

The video was released to coincide with President Obama’s sweeping proposals to curb gun violence in America, said the official.

Obama’s most controversial proposals include a ban on military-style assault rifles and high-capacity ammo clips, as well as expanded background checks for firearm purchases.

Security consultant Andrew Scott called the information in the video “adequate.”

He conceded that Homeland Security was correct in recommending that people use scissors to attack a gunman but only in a “last, worst-case scenario.”

“Just the suggestion [to fight back] is a positive move,” said Scott, a former SWAT commander in North Miami Beach. “You don’t want to be sheep for the slaughter.”

But if you do arm yourself with shears, the narrator warns you to drop them when cops arrive.

“Put down any items. Immediately raise your hands,” is the closing advice.

The stupidity of human kind, violent encounters are most likely based on some macho BS, after having trained and teaching use of weapons and unarmed combat I have lees tendency to let some punk asshole provoke me to a fight, I would avoid violence at any cost having learned how much damage one can inflict on others and how deadly any weapon is, if I need to be violent it will be not like those fights, it will be a fight for life and death and hoping the outcome is intensive care at the hospital for those who wish to harm me as a minimum.
