what provokes people to do this?

[HiTheNameIsBJ]

How can this happen in Australia? Guns are banned. That means crime is impossible!

[/sarcasm]

Well that's what happens when the brits take all their gays, criminals, diseased, and gypsies, and send them to one island. People get kicked that's what happens.

In all seriousness, Australia beautiful place with much lower crime rate then here, but disarming a nation is a bad idea.

Or if you feel more comfortable...

a study was done with a bunch of inmates where they were showed tape of some city streets and asked who they would be most likely to mug. almost every time the inmates pointed out people who had their head phones in, had there heads down, looked tired or sick, or were not paying attention to where they were in some way.
the first thing any cop will tell you is to have your head up and be aware. street smarts. this guy got surrounded by three guys and did not even see this coming.
also if you are going to pull a weapon for self deafens you need to be ready to use it, and you need to know how to use it. if you are not ready to stab shoot or hit the mother fucker he will take your weapon from you and fuck you up.
this is what separates everyday people from thugs like the ones in the video above. they live in, and have most likely gown up around violence like this their whole lives and would not think twice about punching you in the face or stabbing you in the gut. on the other hand most of us have grown up in mostly non violent areas and have not been exposed to violence very much. this makes it harder to commit violence even if it means saving your self from a beat down. many people freeze like a deer in head lights when they get mugged, even people who have taken self defense or martial arts classes or tell them selves that they would be able to defend themselves.
so now that i have said this... do not think twice. do not feel bad. if some one wants to take something from you, or beat you up it is you or them. fuck them up! thats what they would do!

exactly my point!!!

I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that my waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking.

i hope all those fuckers die... wastes of life.

[deutschman]

i loled at the tallest one whiffing when he tries to kick the dude in the head for a 3rd or 4th time.

On a more serious note, +1 to not hesitating. If you feel threatened, put some distance between yourself. Who cares if they think you look like a "waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles". Odds are they should be grateful because you are preventing a situation where you might be forced to stab/shoot one of them.

if you back up and show the person/persons mugging you that you will fight back they will back off most of the time. they want to get easy money and if it is not going to be easy they will let it go most of the time. also if you do ever have to fight off a mugger go for the soft parts. eyes, groin, knees, feet an such. its not about being fare, its about winning. of cores you just want to avoid the fight all together.

Until you get knocked the fuck out from behind and they steal your pistol and use it on you. Don't get me wrong I plan on getting my carry permit asap, my father also has one but sometimes it just makes you more of a target.

Depends. You need to know your environment. Shit happens - but be prepared for it, and you will be better off.

Hello Jason.

[Edgars325e]

high on drugs?
i always have a 10" chef's knife in my bag going to and from school. if anyone ever tried anything like this with me they would get 10 inches of german steal sharp enough to skin an elephant in the gut.
one of my friends from culinary school already pulled his knife on a mugger the other night. it worked. guns for show, knives for a pro.

what culinary school are you going too ????:D thats cool

[AndrewBird]

I carry a knife and wouldn't hesitate a second to use it if someone started fucking with me. Even just pulling a knife will get the dumb fucks off of you. The problem is when they pull a gun and all you have is a knife.

There really isn't a good way out of a situation like that. SOMEONE is going to get hurt, and if it's 3 against one, you're pretty much screwed.

Which brings up the point of just avoiding sketchy situations in the first place.

[Miasma]

People are fkd, don't be paranoid but be aware, very aware.

Sig win.

city college culinary in sf. it is a very well respected school in the sf culinary industry. we have had 2 muggings at school over the last few days. each involving a 22. but we have some very good campus cops.

That's not a knife, this is a knife
