I definitely have situational awareness. I guess all those OPSEC briefings from the government, and my role as a Security Manager, gave me that. But geez, it’s just common sense. Someone is walking around, holding the knife in a threatening manner. It’s not rocket science, I would think......
People nowadays are stuck inside their cellphones.........
I was playing music at a local supermarket pub a couple weeks ago. Two looked like teenage boys walked in, totally covered in black masks, hoodies, gloves, etc. I was the first one they saw. If they had bad intentions, I was dead. They walked through the store like that and, from what I could tell, only me and one bar patron watched them. Nothing happened. I don’t know if it was a dry run, or they were just messing around. All this to say, people truly have a normalcy bias.
