Some Days Nothing is Gonna Go Right!

   If you don't believe that, ask this guy in Tampa Bay, Florida. He needed a ride so decided to jack a car. He picked a car that had two men sitting inside, jerked open the passenger side door, and threatened the passenger with a steak knife. So far, his plan was working out quite well.
     Then both men yelled, "Police" and one of them drew his gun. Our carjacker dropped his knife and ran, but not far, or fast enough.
     Now, I'm not suggesting that this is a good way for anyone to spend their time, I mean jacking cars, but if it is something that you just have to do, a few pointers might be in order.
     First car selection:  Don't pick a car that has more people in it than the jacking gang---and if you're working alone that means one person---especially if the occupants are both adult males. 
     Point of entry:  Don't go in the passenger side. That leaves the car driver pretty much free to do whatever he or she wants to do with the car. Move it forward, backward, honk the horn, or anything else they can think of, including opening the door and running down the street yelling their head off. This is considering that the driver has little regard for their passenger.
     Choice of weapon:  A steak knife is just not that intimidating. Most steaks don't even cringe that much when approached with one of these things. A less than adequate weapon can lead people to think you don't know what you're doing and therefore fail to take you seriously, which can lead to a hostile response on their part. Instead of being scared, they might cause you great pain and suffering.
     Therefore, pay attention to your choice of weapon. If you're going to do the job, buy the right tools. Take a little pride in your career choice, for pity's sake. 
     Leaving the scene of a botched carjacking: You must prepare for the eventuality that the carjacking is unsuccessful, in which case you'll need a plan to leave the scene. This will take some training. To prepare, practice running three blocks as fast as you can. Don't pay attention to the traffic at intersections. If you can't dodge through traffic while running flat out, without getting clipped by a vehicle, then you might not be cut out for this line of endeavor. You should be able to make this three-block run in under two minutes. Most people can work up to this level of prowess in about two years. Again, if you're going to choose carjacking as a career, a little preparation will allow you to be all your can be.

How Do You Start a Fight in a Prison Yards?

This may not be at the top of your bucket list, but just in case here goes:
     First, you get yourself a drone. It only has to carry less than a pound. You strap a payload onto your drone---a quarter once of heroin, two ounces of marijuana. and throw in say, five ounces of tobacco, for the non-druggies. Then you fly your drone over a prison and drop your payload into the prison yard. But you don't drop it into the yard as per previous arrangements, but you drop it into the adjacent yard.
     The prisoners who get the payload are delighted, but start fighting to make sure they each get their fair share. The prisoners who paid for the drugs, but didn't get them, break into the adjacent yard to recover what is theirs. The fighting expands, until the guards put a stop to the whole thing. The drugs have probably disappeared. 
     Your experiment has been a resounding successs. But before you try it again you might want to rethink the possible uses for your drone.
     The above scenario actually happened in Ohio, so we know it works.
