“Secondary location” in self-defense terminology refers to leaving the initial location of encounter with a possible assailant, either by force, or under threat of violence to you or another. Chances of survival are possibly 5-10%, although no one really knows because people, including children go missing, rapes go unreported and no one knows how many “runaways” were taken to secondary locations never to be seen again.
In self defense “secondary location” is one of the most unsurvivable situations. Therefore, we have the PRINCIPLE of NEUTRALIZATION. Which is by definition rendering an attacker harmless, or NEUTRAL. Resisting, or escaping secondary location using possibly deadly force
In Life Defense we find its equivalent also. When a person is attacking you, your project, your freedom, or even your time you can either allow the threat to force you into an inescapable position or NEUTRALIZE the threat.
Compared to Silence of the Lambs, stealing your time might seem harmless. However, 30 minutes a day adds up over months and years. Your wasted time is life lost.
Although NEUTRALIZATION of a serial killer uses deadly force, the Life Defense equivalent might look like. “No, I will not go with you to lunch today.” When inside what you are saying is, “No, means no! Back away from me now! I will not spend another hour abducted to a secondary location of binge food eating, ear drum burning, tyrannical gossip session! I am not your hostage, leave now!”
When there is a loss of life whether immediately terminal, or incremental, life lost can never be replaced. NEUTRALIZE your opponent, and never go to secondary location to become a statistic of lost life….
