Former Navy SEAL and FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gilliam, co-author with Sean Hannity of Sheep No More: The Art of Awareness and Attack Survival, joined SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Tuesday’s Breitbart News Daily to discuss the Las Vegas shooting.
Gilliam said that survival in extreme circumstances begins with training and preparation before an attack occurs.
“Everybody listening, they have to realize that the possibility is there that they could get caught up in something like this,” he said.
“There is a possibility that there’s nothing but hate in this person. There’s a possibility he’s a psychopath like his father was, and that’s his only motivation,” Gilliam said of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock.
“We have to realize that evil people and evil things exist in the world. You can use the exact same databases that he used to plan his attack, you can use the same type of planning procedures that he used. You don’t have to become a psychopath to understand how he plans an attack,” he said.
“You can look at the critical areas, the critical times for those areas, the vulnerabilities that you have when you’re in and around that type of area like an open-air show, and the avenue of approach an attacker will take,” Gilliam explained. “You can look at every sector of your life now, divide up your life into sectors, and say ‘this is who would attack it and why.’ You can look up the history online and kind of build a database of who would attack it and why. You can also say ‘this is where, when, how,’ and you can put together these types of target packages on yourself long before you ever enter that arena of having to survive.”
“It’s the same exact way that Olympic swimmers and athletes will sit down and go through the entire race in their minds before they ever run it or swim it. That way they’re fully prepared for what’s going to come when they actually jump in the water or take off running,” he said.
Gilliam said it was very difficult to review Paddock’s attack and make precise suggestions for how security could have been improved, because based on his own experience at working in a hotel during his college days, “you can’t monitor the amount and what type of luggage somebody carries in and out of a hotel when they’re staying there.”
