Add New York to that list too. Last week in Brooklyn a one-year old was killed in his stroller - shot in the head. This is what Greycap & Timmy are talking about, the shit good people living in these areas deal with. You have mfers out there with ZERO regard for life. They will shoot/stab you without thinking twice. Mr. Park did what he had to do.

It's no wonder the rest of the world pretty much feels the US is doomed.

if someone came at me with a knife, i guess i'd shoot first, sit around and think about defense later. i'd aim for a kneecap, but under pressure my aim ain't that good.

Well, you've stated that if a robber makes a threat, they pay the price, so I figured that meant you would subdue the robber.

About making a quick judgment, I think the best judgement of them all is don't bring temptation to yourself, especially when you know it's hard times out there, a mistake I've made when I got robbed, and the mistake I believe that the driver made. This would alleviate all of this on a grand scale.

I don't want 2 find myself in that situation.

If I do, most likely the robber is done but these situations take on a life on their own.

U just never know until u are in the situation. It is a fact of life in Urban AmeriKa.

You're right, and I wouldn't dispute it. However, I think like the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, decreases the odds of being robbed.

I don't think "prevention" is a fair judgement on a victim of armed robbery as he is on the job.

I don't take too kindly to robbery, let alone a threat on one's life as it is happening. How can you blame him?

I guess counting your money in the car for all eyes to see is a wise choice. I bet the window was down. I said alleviate, not eliminate a robbery. Does it make a difference if he's on the job or not?

Let me ask you. Do you think wearing expensive jewelry at 12:00 midnight by yourself, flagging a cab a wise choice? That's me by the way. The robber saw it, approached me with a simulated weapon (couldn't tell because he was holding something under his shirt, and aimed it at me), and told me to give him everything I had?

Like I said, you just never know what's going to happen. It's easy to say "well he should've just gave dude the money" but again, we don't know what went on. Just saying.

If you read my posts, you would see that I get what a few of you were saying, but who in the world gets what I am saying.

Don't think I don't get what you were saying. I do. I was just stating my opinion.
