| 2014-12-22 |
| by Charles Krauthammer [WashingtonPost] The lone wolf is the new nightmare, dramatized and amplified this week by the hostage-taking attack in Sydney. But there are two kinds of lone wolves ? the crazy and the evil ? and the distinction is important. |

| #8 Keep the car doors locked. Have a backup weapon. Use window tinting if not illegal in your state (the perp doesn't know who, how many, or what might be in store for them inside). |

| #6 g(r)omgoru, I took note of the biased media on TV, ISIS videos on social media, and radical preachers in the mosques, but where are the sleazy, race hustling politicians ramping up and inciting people in the streets?(ahem, cough, cough, De Blasio, Sharpton, Holder, Obama). |

| #5 If such a shooter had just shown up at a Tea Party rally, he'd never be a 'Lone Wolf' or a 'crazy' to the media. You Betcha! |

| #1 How to fight the wolf 1. Plan your trip and avoid the wolfschanze (urban lairs). 2. Arm yourself. Keep an extra loaded mag handy. 3. Train with the weapon you carry as often as possible and at ranges of 3 to 5 meters. It builds operator confidence and is generally where bad things happens. 4. Keep 911 on your cellie speed dial. 5. Tell someone (or leave a note) regarding where you are going and when you expect to return. 6. Keep a torch in your vehicle. Test the batteries often. 7. Mind the vehicle petrol tank. Keep it above the half-full mark. 8. Keep a 2-3 meter margin between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you at stop signs. 9. Learn to negotiate (drive over) curbs. 10. Always inspect your vehicle cabin prior to getting in, and lock your vehicle doors as soon as you do get in. 11. Keep you vehicle to include tyres in a good state of repair. 12. Keep your garage free of blind spots, and visually inspect before entering. 13. Stay alert and physically fit. Running is a also good defense. |
