As the names implies ,Situational Awareness is simply knowing what’s going on around you. It sounds easy in principle, but in reality requires much practice. And while it is taught to soldiers, law enforcement officers, and yes, government-trained assassins, it’s an important skill for civilians to learn as well. In a dangerous situation, being aware of a threat even seconds before everyone else can keep you and your loved ones safe.

Carry a weapon for self-defense

If you live and work in a city, or concerned about an increase in crime coming to the suburbs, carry a weapon for self-defense. When is carrying a firearm a safe form of defense? Do you know how to properly handle a gun and have used it on thermal targets to insure your accuracy? If you're not comfortable carrying a firearm, go for high-potency pepper spray (bear pepper spray for example -- which is strong enough to deter a grizzly bear) or a taser / stun gun, which can disable even the most aggressive robbers, giving you time to flee.

If you see anyone at all that is acting suspicious, or is eyeing you as you walk to your vehicle, or is simply walking in your general direction, put your hand on your weapon. For men that may mean reaching inside your jacket. If you carry pepper spray or a taser, pull it out, let it be visible. Sometimes you may feel a bit paranoid -- but go with your gut -- especially in a major city, especially in a time that armed robberies are on the increase.

If you carry a gun, reach into your jacket or behind your back and look ready to brandish it -- that alone may scare off a robber. You look like you're armed and alert -- even if you haven't completely pulled your weapon yet.

Never pull your gun just because you're overly-alert to a possible robbery. That guy you see twenty yards away might be a plain-clothes cop and he might think that he's about to be robbed -- by you. Not a good idea; you might get shot. Plus you're likely breaking gun laws that clearly state that you can only pull a firearm when it's in self-defense and you are being threatened.

The victim speaks about the incident.

Wilcox (the victim) said he did vote for Trump on Tuesday, but no one in the crowd would have known that. He said the taunts appeared to come from people watching the beating, including one person at the bus stop who he heard say, "Yeah, it's one of them white boy Trump guys."
