The man who stabbed seven people in a New Zealand supermarket, was being monitored constantly by up to 30 officers who tracked his every move in the weeks leading up to the attack. He was followed by police officers to the supermarket, and yet it took them a minute to stop him from stabbing people. “The Police Surveillance Team and Special Tactics Group shot and killed him … within, I am told, the space of roughly 60 seconds of the attack” stated Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, the same one who prohibited New Zealanders from having firearms for self-defense.
As of September 4, (2021.09.04), three of the victims remain in critical condition and three more are in stable or moderate conditions. The seventh person is recovering at home.
What better illustration of the truth that when seconds count, the police are minutes away?
So, whenever you are, how do you position yourself in the place? Can you be snuck upon? Can you be rushed by a knifer? Is the path to you free or can you put obstacles, such as a shopping cart or a display stand, on the way to you? Is a weapon within your reach? If you are prohibited from having a weapon for your defense, can you reach a weapon of opportunity, for example, a broom, a shovel, a chair, a trash can, a book, a bottle? Are you close enough to a cover to use it if you see a shooter?
