Give them what they want

Police and “experts” tell you that when confronted by a criminal, give them what they want. Your wallet is not worth dying over.

The robbery at Third and Campbell streets occurred after two men ran past the 42-year-old victim, pulled out a gun and demanded everything he had.
The victim handed over his wallet. The robbers then began to run toward Fourth Street, but then turned and shot the man in the jaw, according to the release.

What if what they want is your life? Should you give them that too? Anyone who would threaten you with a weapon is already jeopardizing your life. They have already broken the basic social contract of “keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself” and are attempting to substitute a new deal. They say, “your money or your life.” But since they weren’t willing to live by the old deal, why would you trust them to honor the new one?

Luckily for our victim, he will survive. You might not be so lucky.

  1. "Your wallet is not worth dying over."

    Nope, but if I'm threatened for my wallet, handing my wallet over doesn't end the threat, only now the thug has my money, my credit cards and my home address.

    My wallet is NOT worth dying for, but being violently assaulted and your life threatened is, and if I can help it I'll make the guy who dies the other guy!

  2. I figure what they really want is to be stopped. They know they're doing evil and probably don't like themselves very much. I feel an obligation to these poor lost souls to help them stop. That may require the use of lethal force.

Like what you read? Have extra money and want to donate it to a good cause? Look on the right sidebar for the Paypal button labled "Contribute to the 'Buy a Kriss Vector' fund" All proceeds go to funding my purchase of a Kriss Vector SBR and suppressor.

Anyone (except for MikeB302000) can post.

Don’t be more of an ass than me. Your words, though they are on my blog, are your own. I didn’t write them. If they are stupid, ill considered, or bigoted, it’s your problem.

Criminal threats will be reported to the appropriate authorities for the appropriate action.
