#Selfdefenseisselflove: Hashtag for Harrowing Times.



My #selfdefenseisselflove hashtag is first spiritual, as in, God gave us our bodies how dare we let harm happen, strategic and tactical philosophy boiled down into five words. Born in response to sudden urban insecurity when Crack Cocaine hit Black America, it has new urgency in today's volitale climate of politically enabled violent criminals and rioters. Loving yourself now means accepting responsibility to respond to instant aggression.
Years of grassroots security consulting provided a ringside seat for watching career criminals being treated with diplomatic immunity. No arrest, no summons issued to be ignored and worse, no boundaries set for anti social behavior. Such official pampering makes aggressors more prone to harm and steal with impunity. Self defense moves from abstract concept to actual conduct in seconds as arrogant assailants cross your path, confident they can rob or batter you without consequences. In such scenarios, your mindset must be taking charge of the encounter instead of being dominated. Don't rely on calling 911 as your only line of defense. Make the call but also make decisions to quickly secure yourself.


As police stand down and aggressors stand up, #selfdefenseisselflove truly is a hashtag for these harrowing times.
