The two of you are still all blah blah blah. So I'll remind you of my earlier post.....what is YOUR resume? I deal with twerps like this every day and it amuses me when they talk but offer no substance. Not one thing I have posted would be denied by any trained security person. Your OPINION is welcome, but rather pointless without the experience/knowledge to back it up.

Heck I've even helped someone HERE secure themselves, while the two of you have only offered lip service and lame jokes regarding my expertise/profession. togetherforever had problems, I posted advice she wisely took and the mods deleted the thread, since it was a compromise to her safety. I hope things are working out for her.

Instead of all the stupid jokes, why don't you respond to post 87? Maybe do a little research on how actual high profile security is done. You are doing a disservice to other members by mocking professional advice and/or offering bad advice that could get them in serious trouble.

Your responses have proven you don't know diddly about personal security and remind me of high school bullies that will mock people who have knowledge they don't, just to make themselves feel important.

I've been quite busy with the RNC, but I will check back later.

Ten days later and no response? Good for you. You finally understand you were dead wrong and backed off. Good luck in your Visa journey

I just arrived back from Kabul doing my magic ninja thing

Mine talks all the time so I have no worries she will make it

I've heard there is a medicine that will make a Filipina be quiet. Anyone got a link????

Funny ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If we did not get a little latitude in that area I think 60% of our posts would be gone. It is a politics and religion forum. Heck you can't get 20 people together talking about the best Ketchup without a little bit of back and forth.. (Of course everyone knows it's Heinz)

I think the thing is, that on the internet people tend to try to become more than they are. I really did not buy the I own a high level Ninja for rent story. Nobody in that position wold have lead with a comment, or had the philosophy that in a life threatening situation when armed, it is best to try and use some non-lethal method to stop the enemy that may or may not be successful. I.E. try and just wing the enemy. If you are on the ground with injuries and have an combatant standing over you brutally attacking you then you use swift violent, sudden, violence in such a way to make sure they can not continue the attack. No operator with training would advocate trying to wound the combatant in this circumstance. That is Hollywood.

So tell me how using a knife to severely disable the attacker is not "swift violent, sudden, violence in such a way to make sure they can not continue the attack." You have watched WAY too many movies and think when I'm talking about real world people it is fiction. Clueless is the only word to describe it.

Look at FBI firearm requirements. An agent in full coat attire is required to be able to clear, draw, and fire ACCURATELY in less than a second. That ain't movie BS, that is a requirement thousands of agents meet to stay an agent. Granted a second is a LONG dam time and most can do it closer to a half a second.

I never claimed I own a Ninja for hire service. I own a private security service providing just that. We do work for private firms, such a Haliburton, as well as gov contracts. We are certainly not the only providers.

Since you feel the need to doubt everything. What is YOUR experience. Doubting goes both ways sport. The info/tactics I've given can easily be verified, can yours? Let's hear your vast knowledge. And remember your quote "internet people tend to try to become more than they are." which is my accurate assessment of you. Carry on

BTW, Heinz is the correct answer

A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.

I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally.

I drink, therefore I am

I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.

Never try to impress a woman, because if you do she'll expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life.

No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree.

If it wasn't for pick-pockets I'd have no sex life at all.

By temperament, which is the real law of God, many men are goats and can't help committing adultery when they get a chance; whereas there are numbers of men who, by temperament, can keep their purity and let an opportunity go by if the woman lacks in attractiveness.

There are women who have an indefinable charm in their faces which makes them beautiful to their intimates, but a cold stranger who tried to reason the matter out and find this beauty would fail.

It is more satisfactory to be pretty than right.

you can request to expedite your case but just the reason that you are going insane is not good enough reason for your case being expedited.

Ummm....I think the OP was joking Being mentally incompetent would prevent a visa

You are not being realistic with this situation. I don't care how good you are,

You are kidding yourself if you think a trained agent couldn't do exactly as I've stated. It is not movie make believe. These people train more than Olympic athletes. They are not some group of fat "bodyguards". They are highly trained professionals. By the way, never ever call one of them a bodyguard unless you enjoy severe pain.

Your experience is definitely welcome but it sounds like the officer had sustained quite a few injuries from his accident and at this point its second guessing to assume he could defend himself.

Very true. I don't know the state of mind of the officer during the attack, nor his training background. My initial point was that IMHO there were options other than deadly force for a trained person. Obviously the still had enough mobility to draw and fire, so it is possible he could have done one of the things I've described.

Most people being attacked, like he was, do one of two things: They curl up in a ball and take the beating, or they try to get away. It is human instinct, unfortunately, in his described situation, both are wrong. He can't escape and a beat down in his condition could be fatal.(broken bones becoming lodged in vital organs or cutting arteries) He needed to get closer, which to many people will seem counter-intuitive. Until someone goes through the proper training, they have no idea what I'm talking about. Once they do they'll know I'm quite right. By closing the distance you offset some of the opponents advantage.........in this case being free standing and mobile. All of a sudden they find themselves with a well trained, highly armed, and extremely aggressive foe upsetting their balance and negating their attack.....then blowing off a kneecap/foot or slicing them up like a Christmas turkey.

How do you "roll into the target" when you're lying on the ground with a broken leg, broken shoulder, and two men kicking and punching you senseless within inches of your life?

Do you watch a lot of Roadrunner cartoons too?

Get on the ground and have a friend pretending to kick you. You have a very short distance to close....normally less than 3 feet. It is not as hard as you think. The closer you can get, the less effective the kick will be and you have a stationary target...the off leg of the attacker. It is planted right? Or is he doing some super human movie levitation move?

Instead of all the smartazz comments against someone with the actual knowledge and experience, why don't you do a little research on self-defense? It would be much more constructive to the thread. I haven't questioned your knowledge of your profession, but you seem obligated somehow to disrespect me and my profession. I've tried to ignore the smartazz comments and give you real world advice they might save your life one day.

I don't understand all the moves you talk about that Hollywood " wishes they Knew". :rofl:

But I do have one glaring question ?? -- They don't need a gun...... But they are highly armed at all times. I mean you said it in the same sentence. The question is so obvious..If they don't need a gun why are they so well armed at all times.

Apparently English eludes you. Any of the agents can deal with the situation whether they have a gun on them or not....they do not NEED one. It is called hand to hand combat.......google it. That being said, they always DO have firearms on them, and the s at the end of firearm means more than one....we call that "plural" in English. Feel free to google that if you get too confused again. They also carry several knives, pepper spray, and whatever else they feel like toting. They can use any weapon equally well with either hand. It is called training. Quite a few carry a walking stick wherever they go, including on an airplane as they are not banned from the cabin. A quick google search should reveal to you why.....hint: try searching Philippine stick fighting. Instead of google, try youtube since I've gotten the idea pictures will suit you best.

I thought we have been told time and time again that standard police training DOES NOT allow for shots to disable a person. All training is predicated upon firing a weapon when life is in danger, to allow disabling shots erodes the severity of the threat.

(which I disagree with).

Anyone familiar with current standards of training for Law enforcement?

Reports indicate the dead guy was shot in the groin..... not a pretty way to go out.

It is a very sound strategy to only pull your weapon when you intend to use lethal force, especially for civilians. Pointing a weapon at someone to scare them off is a very big no-no. Targeting center mass not only takes out the threat but helps to avoid collateral damage. Many PD's use this strategy, but is not the most effective option for someone in my line of work. We want and need alive assailants. You can not interrogate a dead man. PD's only give minimal hand to hand training, have minimal weapon skills requirements etc. They are there in a role to keep the peace, but be able to handle a deadly threat if needed. They would be all but useless in a convoy ambush.

If the thug was indeed shot in the groin at an upward angle, the bullet would have likely traveled well into center mass and caused extensive bleeding. Bleed out would occur rather quickly.

I used to tjhink like that but not anymore. It's very hard to hit something like a kneecap even at close range with a pistol. A high powered rifle at a still target maybe.

You roll into the target and affect weapon, be it a knife or a gun. The assailant has already breached your distance safety perimeter, so now you want to get CLOSE. In a normal threat situation you maintain distance and spacial awareness, but when it has already reached your red zone you must close the distance. It is not very hard to shoot a kneecap when your gun is pressed against it. With the knife, which would be preferred in this instance, you roll into the target and start slicing until the attacker stops or bleeds out. When he does stop, then you regain distance.

Sure you are.

Your replies in this thread are comical.

Actually I am Einstein. I've owned and operated a private professional personal security firm over 25 years. We do both personal and corporate security in hotspots all over the world, such as Afghanistan, which includes cyber-security, not just "bodyguards". Our agents are highly trained in every aspect of security and the movies only wish they could do some of what we do. Even an agent on the ground would put you on your ####### so fast you wouldn't know what happened. They don't NEED a gun, but are well trained and highly armed at all times.

My remarks might be comical to you, but I can tell from yours that you have no clue when the escalation of force is really warranted. A trained agent would have neutralized the threat almost instantly and the thug would still be alive.....damaged, but alive.

Granted, he prolly did, but a shot to the kneecap of a kicking assailant accomplishes the same goal. IMHO the cop was not facing imminent death in a public arena. He was facing a horrible beat down which required him to act responsibly, especially as a public servant. Double tapping center mass is not a responsible action in that type situation. HOWEVER it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Not so simple in actual practice as this tends to confirm.

I don't know why you think this confirms anything. How do we know the cop didn't take a center mass shot on purpose?

But if he wasn't cop, would your reaction be the same? If he wasn't a cop, he would be locked up during a long investigation. Not only should the father have remained sane while his daughter had been hurt, the shooter should have also.

The same use of deadly force by a civilian would likely result in arraignment and conviction, while the cop will likely walk away. I'm a security expert dealing with these situations on a daily basis. A trained marksman knows how to disable an assailant without making them assume room temperature.

To answer this question.......I-864 and I-864a

Unless the home was completely paid for before the marriage, you own a 2 year stake in it. You or him both made sacrifices during the marriage to make the payment, so you are entitled to a portion of the equity.(the equity accrued during the marriage)

You are making a common mistake by trying to be nice. You will not get anything from your marital assets with that approach. In many states you can file a divorce in that state without being present. I won't do all your homework for you, but my guess is you can file from the UK. You are going to have to put on your tough girl panties and get down and dirty, just like he has, if you expect to succeed.

This is but one resource for info: http://www.divorcesource.com/ds/ohio/ohio-divorce-laws-709.shtml

I have no knowledge of the site other than a quick google to find such a site. I see they have forums which also might assist you on Ohio specific law as it pertains to you. Good luck

OP, have you completed AOS yet? If you filed it but it hasn't been granted yet, you should your withdraw your I-864 ASAP

relationship is not about jumping to another to one another. that's not real love. if i could make decision for OP...i will consider seeking marriage counseling. before jumping to an ending i rather do something/everything just to save the marriage. then if things didn't worked out still..then i guess it was never meant to happen.

If the OP, in this case, couldn't get past whatever happened and would never be able to have a healthy relationship with her again.........even if her answers proved she wasn't really doing anything wrong......then marriage counseling is moot. If he would always be living in doubt that is no way to live, so it is best to end it and move on.

In my original post I said he should sit her down and get real answers. Apparently he tried and didn't get any answers, which was an answer unto itself. I think he would always be doubting her from now on, so parting is by far the best option..............and that is coming from a guy that believes in trying ever possible avenue until the problem is solved. If you can't ever forgive it in your heart you have to face it and move on.
