Would you give up your belongings if you got robbed at gunpoint or something? I think most...

Yes I've been mugged before, the until instinct was to fight back but it was three against one I realized I couldn't win that one and let me stuff go

Not only would I, I have. Many years ago I was walking home late with my then girlfriend - it was after 1 in the morning and I'd just walked to where she worked to walk her home. The streets were dark, quiet and out of nowhere a guy walked up to us, pulled out a bowie style knife, pressed it against my chest and mugged us.

My initial reaction was shock, then I realized this MF was nuts. I gave him my wallet and had my girlfriend give him her purse. The only bravado I displayed was to reach over to my girlfriend and push her behind me.Fortunately that was it, he took our stuff and took off running. I instinctively knew what we ahd wasn't worth this wacko knifing me and/or my girlfriend.

I agree with you, as a younger man, particularly if I had been drinking I may have gotten belligerent and bullet proof but not now.

I did have an incident with a homeless man who was getting very upset and aggressive right after I had just given him a $5 bill and he was demanding more. He realized quickly he had better go away.

I think i tend to avoid being robbed by being aware of my surroundings and by not attracting thieves by not having anything they want in their eyesight.. once when i was a kid tho this big burly woman stole stuff from me right in front of my eyes.. just grabbed some stuff and put it in her purse and i just stared in shock and said nothing

Yes, because those belongings are just material often, and as long as I have a home, people who care for me, I am not going to let myself lose those them trying to protect my pride.

But that takes on a lot of different meanings for many, I can afford somethings taken. My home likely won't be at stake, not sure how I would respond, but I would hope I see life has a chance of being with me for not acting in rage.

I worked for a grocery store and one of our locations got robbed. The store manager was in the office and the criminal vaulted over the low wall with a handgun.

I asked, "What did you DO?"

He said, "I held up a fistful of cash and asked, 'Would you like that in a bag, Sir?"

Yes, I'd give it up. That's better than wanting to rob from my body. If it's the latter one, I'd fight until I die. But enough about grim stuff, here are some 🌟🦄🐙

I don’t walk around with anything expensive on except my rings and they’re insured so I’d happily give them up

HikingMan · 51-55, M

I'd fight.
If they have knives or guns I'd probably get shot or stabbed.
I'd still fuck someone up....

would give up possessions but would fight till the death before getting in a car with them

I'd give my stuff.

I have a mom friend who had taken a moment to herself chosing to a fast food restaurant. She decided to eat in the parking lot before going home to her kids.

Instead she was pulled out of her car at gunpoint told to lie on the ground which she complied. They shot her in the back and carjacked her consequently paralyzing her from the waist down.

I dunno, I might chance it and drive off from a carjacking attempt.

Not if they tried to steal my Batmobile

I am not normal. I might do something extremely stupid because I don't like being threatened. And I might just give things and find them later. It depends on my mood that day.

Yeah like one of the basic survival skills in life is let the mugger win don't be a hero you can get past losing your stuff.

DCarey · 46-50, M

No. I don't fear death. I would certainly try to do serious damage to the robber.

bijouxbroussard · F

No question, I’d hand it over. No possession is more valuable than one’s life.

Boleuskas · M

Had similar situations never backed up

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

Yeah. I don't think I have any belongings worth my life. And if they kill me they get my stuff anyways, so what did it really get me?

DDonde · 31-35, M

I guess I would.

I had a gun in my side and a guy struggling to pull off my wedding ring

I was like, "mate, let me do it."
