I never thought I would see it, but we are living in unprecedented times.  We are seeing times where up is down, left is right, right is wrong and things seem to be upside down.  News stations may not report the news, they may do things to sensationalize the news.  I believe that whichever news

On July 17, 2021, one man found himself being shot at while driving his car on a Houston, Texas freeway.  The man who aimed a handgun and fired shots at him apparently did so with no provocation. Fortunately, the man (nor anyone else) was not struck and able to escape the danger. A video surfaced of

Perhaps it’s just me, or has there been a significant increase in shootings since January of 2021?  Personally, I believe there has been.  We have seen an unprecedented amount of attacks on law enforcement. Examples: May 16, 2021 in the Lawndale area of Chicago, IL; March 5, 2021 in New York; and June 21, 2021

Students must also learn the

I am scheduled to speak to a group on personal safety in late January 2021.  The topic is:  What can a person do if they are alone, or with a couple of friends when out in public and are confronted by a group bent on causing conflict? From the past year, the concern on this

Many people are having a difficult time coping during this time.  For some, it’s the lockdowns, lack of school attendance and job loss that COVID-19 and it’s related issues have thrust upon them. For others it could be the season that sometimes brings out the best and worst in us.  There are a whole host

The holiday season is quickly approaching, but this year is different than any other year is our history.  With the COVID-19 issues, each state has their own restrictions and how they “prefer” each person and their household to comply.  These “rules” may be vastly different from how each household has previously conducted family gatherings.  Between
