A Victim Treats His Mugger Right

Or at least in the opinion of National People's Radio:

It's always best when a situation is dissipated without the use of deadly force, but perhaps the best lesson the mugger could have received would have been a slightly sterner lecture at the point of the victim's weapon. But then again, kind words are about all you have to legally defend yourself with in NYC.

Sounds pretty much like a fairy tale. I am gonna call 75% bull on this one. It makes good liberal reading.

Beautiful story...until the mugger plunges the knife into the would be good samartin's chest....

"So, buy a thug dinner and he won't rape your family. The progressive mindset toward crime has never been stated more succinctly."

OK I am on-board except for calling it a progressive mindset. The ill condition of being a liberal is now been hidden and cloaked by the term progressive. Just another attempt of the liberals to hide under a blanket till they pop out and smash you over the head with a new tax.

This guy complied and he ended up stabbed:

Never get in a vehicle with a perp. You stand a better chance fighting back or fleeing at the point of first encounter.

The 2007 Connecticut Home Invasion taught us the fallacy of complying.

What infuriates me most about that is how fully the victim went along. Once she was in the bank, she never should have returned to the car.

Reading about this event was also one of the factors that influenced my decision to become a gun owner and CHL one year ago,

Personally, I'd re-holster my gun if I was giving a lecture... it'd be a shame for the cops to get there at just the right time to get the wrong impression.

At what point do you trust a perp enough to re-holster? Perhaps when they're on the ground and unable to look back?

This is a nice story in a Charles Dickens sort of way, but I believe that a person who has made the decision to rob or attack another can never be fully trusted again despite the underlying cause. At some point they will turn on those help them and revert to their bad ways.

theres nothing wrong with making up a false story and lying as long as you make your point about how awesome you are .
i am inspired , i think im going to go give away all my expensive weapons away in the ghetto and turn all the thugs into robin hoods

LIke I said, a DIckens tale that's great for the non-specific winter holidays.

God help us, everyone.

I can think of a couple "Hollywood" scenarios, but none that are really plausible.
