How to survive a
mugging
It has happened to a few of us, being mugged, and living in
South Africa...well it begins to become like hobbie. But to survive a mugging
and come out unscathed is another story all together. There are a few things to
do in these sort of situations that will determine between life or death.
Remember it is never being a wuss to surrender your wallet
to a man with a gun, only clever, remember the saying “live to fight another
day”, and that's what really counts.
At Gun Point
Speaking from personal experience, being mugged at gun point
is no joke, because at any minute your life can be non existent.
Having a steel barrel point at your forehead while you are
looking down is not an ideal situation, but there are ways to calm the situation down, which
will hopefully help in it not turning bad for you.
1.
It might be difficult but stay as calm as you
possibly can, i don’t mean act like a wuss, but at the same time being calm but
still collective will ease the agrressors mind.
2.
Don’t make any sudden movements, and im speaking
to the guys who have watched to many kung fu movies, trust me that gun can go
off quicker than what you can grab it, especially if he is standing a distance
from you, and as much as we guys like to think we are superman, unfortunately
its a comic book and not reality. The last thing you want is to give them a
fright and the firearm goes off.
3.
If they want your wallet, don’t be a smart mouth
and reply with something like “if you want it you will have to fight me for it
‘’ or “ stuff you” it will only make situations worst. Slowly reach for your
wallet and give it to them.
4.
If you are with a date or your girlfriend,
slowly put her behind you, it shows the aggressor that he can have the wallet
but not the bird, it is showing him in a non violent way, and you likely to get
added brownie points for your effort to protect her.
5.
It might be difficult but try to identify any
markings on him, so that later you will beable to assist the police.
