Had to cross the bridge to get home. They were just "hanging around". If there was any other path I would have avoided them. But its hard to see these things coming. Had to give them my phone, they would bash the crap out of me otherwise? 5 v1 - no chance 🙁

fuck man, I'd at least gone down in a fight.

 
i was trying to find a video of this guy who got jumped by like 6 people in a parking lot and dropped all of them. i can't find it anywhere. it was a black and white security video.

I was searching for images of "australian thugs" on Google, and found this...

:^D

5V1? Everybody acting like it's some surly 13yr olds the OP ran into. Handing over the phone may have been the best course of action. There's a reason the military uses young people and not 40yr olds. They're close to their peak of physical prowess, and I personally wouldn't want to go against 5 guys who've probably spent most of their lives fighting on the street. Without pictures it's hard to tell, but I doubt these were "just teenagers".

HAHA that was perfect 🙂 :thumbsup:
 
I would have never handed my phone and kept walking. If they started fucking with me I would have grabbed one of them and held his head in a position I could break his neck... and broke his neck if they continued attacking me. If I couldn't get ahold of him like that, I'd get one on the ground step on the back of his head and squish.

I mean, they were just teenagers...
Even if they were able to schenk me, I would have made sure to kill at least one of them...

This thread has reminded me I need to get a holster and a carry permit.

This thread has reminded me to be thankful I live in a country and state that gives me the right to do so, and believe me I exercise my rights to the fullest.

What's the point of stealing your phone though?

What are they going to get out of it?

😕 Um, a free phone?

I got a "free" phone when I signed up for phone service. What is the point of stealing a phone really, if it's not one of the expensive $400+ phones?
 
1. pre-dial 911 on said phone in your pocket

2. attempt to deescalate

3. if you are pretty sure that you cannot effectively defend yourself prepare to run after/while you dial 911.

4. post about it since then the story would be worth posting about.
