The assailant lacked the specialized conflict-resolution skills imparted
to my son Gabe last season, when he was 13, at Camp Onas, a Quaker
overnight camp in Upper Bucks Co. Gabe was taught by a camp counselor
how to slit a throat properly and the trick is simple.
Don't cut the throat itself, from the front. It is thick and muscular
and makes for homicides which are messy at best and, more often than
not, failures. William Penn would not approve. Instead, slash the
arteries that run to the brain, with a swift stroke from under the ear
to under the jaw. That should do it, and without much pain in the process.
In practising the art of Camp Onas Self-Defense, remember at all times
its age-old Quaker cheer:
"Fight! fight! inner light!
"Kill, Quakers, kill.
"Knock 'em down. Beat 'em senseless.
Hit 'em till we reach consensus."
-- Tony West
