Or you can stomp down with your heels on his shins-rip out his skin there or smash his instep." In Washington, the center recommends carrying spray oven cleaners, plastic lemons for squirting juice or ammonia, lighted cigarettes ("smash out in eye"), or corkscrews ("jab quickly and directly, then twist...
