Do You See the Threats?

Comical. In NYC, any city, observe people; they will bump into a threat and never know it
cuz their focus is on the cell phone! It's easy to count the people that are aware of their
surroundings cuz there are so few of them; very few are looking up or around. 😊
If I had criminal intentions I'd make a good living, few would see me coming; purses in the
basket while selecting the veggies, on the chair or bench while pointing and clicking in
Starbucks......and those who could be a witness are also crosseyed on the cell!
 
I was headed for the ATM recently. I saw some guys standing around nearby. They weren't doing anything wrong, but my gut told me to be cautious, so I kept driving, I didn't stop at the ATM.

Pay attention, listen to your gut. No harm in being extra careful.

I had to go into the mall yesterday, and that is a game I play in my head when I have to be in a peopley place. Head counts. Condition white, yellow, orange, red. White always wins, so to speak, phones. I see a little bit of yellow, usually a LEO or the security people. My eyes are on swivel almost constantly when I'm out in public..

Sad to see and say ... but a lot of truth here! And it even goes much further. I've seen folks actually walk into poles, fall into pools, step out in front of moving traffic, etc, all while having their eyes glued to their phones.
 
We can all sometimes get a little lax, even professionals. It is good to have this article float back to the top of the pile.

We must ALWAYS be aware of our surrounding in today's world. Too many people are constantly looking at the phones going in and out of their cars, stores etc. Keep your head on the swivel, even in a resturant, sit so you're facing the door, look for exits. Walk with a purpose..I work with loss prevention at my store and I feel like The Exorcist, my head is on the swivel all day. Stay alert, stay safe people
