If the distraction is submissive; 'I don't want any trouble, can
we talk about it?' This will take your assailant from Code
Red (when a person is ready for 'fight' or 'flight') to Code
White (a state of non-awareness). The submissiveness will
intimate that the danger is over and he'll go into a state of
relief. Brain engagement, via disarming/distracting dialogue
gives the victim a 'blind second'. This is when the assailant
strikes.
