This is a damn scary video. Sanford Strong, a veteran of the San Diego Police Department, travels the country giving his seminars on personal safety. He has the voice and the mannerisms and the appearance of a televangelist, but he's not preaching that you turn the other cheek when faced with danger. Where other safety videos advise caution and a passive response to being attacked, Strong tells you to get down and dirty. Don't give up your vehicle to a carjacker; run the bastard over. If someone forces you to drive to a remote location, crash the car or gouge out his eyes. If you carry a gun, be prepared to shoot to kill. Scenario after scenario is presented that graphically illustrate Strong's points and by the end of the video you'll be emotionally exhausted. This is not an easy video to watch, but then, it's not an easy world to live in either. Strong preaches survival at any cost and he does it very well. Even if your collection has several personal safety titles in it, you might want to consider purchasing this one, which offers a contrast to the cautious response to personal attacks. Recommended.
