The mid 90's...I can tell that you have never been held at gunpoint point...
Woah!!!! The mid 90s? As in 1995? 1996?!!
Correct, I’ve never been held at gunpoint. That’s amazing, how did you know? I guess the robbery gave you a keen sense to know these things. I was almost robbed once during a food delivery, but not at gunpoint luckily. I’m sure it would have traumatized me if it happened to me. And I probably would be so messed up from the incident that I definitely wouldn’t have the ability to be able to bring it up again on here. So kudos to you that you have the mental strength to calmly discuss it on here.
I was asking because you see videos of people fighting the robbers, like the Marine in the convenience store. I would assume your adrenaline would be very high and I always wondered if some people have a small thought to fight the robbers during a robbery and have to internally debate themselves if they should risk it or not. I would not have the confidence to fight back to be quite honest. Or if they see a small chance when the robber is distracted and wonder if they should try to go for it and take out the robber.
I understand real life is not like an action movie. But it was just a question because getting to ask someone who was in a robbery is not a common occurrence so that’s why I asked.
Did you make your statement about me not being robbed to insinuate I was trying to say if I had been in your place I would have been able to effortlessly disarm the robbers, fight them hand to hand, choke them out, tie them up to a telephone pole with extension cords for the police, and be regarded as a big time hero like Tom Stall in the diner scene of A History of Violence? No, I definitely would have froze up and would have done what they told me.
