on my back and ticked off/although I gotta say I am goning to be more scared than ticked off. Alrighty then, already established I probably couldn't scream enough to scare him very much:( This is all assuming he is unarmed right? 'Cause if he is armed all bets are off. I think I would just quit....If unarmed...
1)Throw up a hand and scream stop! and act like I mean it
2)I do have pepper spray, but I actually think that is false courage...so nix-a on the pepper spray/I always have my keys out, but you said on my back like a turtle...okay....
3) assuming he has my arms pinned down too and outweighs me by at least 50 pounds..go limp...don't fight at first.....start talking and don't stop...keep telling him about me or asking about him...establish a connection
or if he isn't buying that... start to thrash around as much as I can
4) use fingernails...mine happen to be really long
5) scream....bite....scratch...thrash...get him off...If I can get my hands free, hit him in the nose or mouth with the heel of my hand...if not bite him anywhere I can...ear probably...if my hands are pinned by my sides try to get ahold of his..um,,,you know:)..and twist.....
6)learned this one in one of my psych classes: people will ignore an attack if there is a large crowd standing around, everyone thinks everyone else should do something but not they themselves...best thing to do is to pick someone out and yell something like "you in the blue shirt call 911" (actually this should be up at the start of this post....)
the rest of the post would be if I were alone:
7) Knee him....if that gets him off scoot back like a turtle and get back on my feet/don't turn my back on him until out of his arms reach, then run
I am assuming since it is a crime of power/control that at this point I would have established that he didn't have control over me and he would not continue the attack... how am I doing?
