I try to avoid putting myself in situations around murderers.
How do you identify murderers so you know who to avoid?
Statistical analysis is a good way to start. I live 30 minutes from a city with one of the highest murder rates in America. There are some simple steps to take:
#1, avoid doing things that give someone a reason to want to kill you. So I don't get involved in things like drug deals.
#2, avoid going places that murders happen a lot. So I avoid certain places. These can easily be found online, but virtually everyone who lives around here already knows what to avoid.
#3, avoid being a violent, hotheaded person yourself. Every murder starts with a much smaller bad choice. If certain situations keep making you upset, avoid those situations. Peaceful people don't want to be around upset, angry people.
#4, if you see a group of people who you have reasonable cause to believe may be prone to random acts of violence, leave and spend your time somewhere else, unless you have a very good reason for staying. Sometimes, this is as simple as "hmm, I'm in Indiana, in the parking lot of a Subway about to close in 10 minutes, and car just rolled in with Illinois plates. Time to leave."
