If you had a knife with you and someone wanted to mug you...
 

If you had a medium sized knife in your pocket, and were downtown lets say at night, and a guy comes over to you and pulls out a knife that is about the same size as yours, and tells you to give him your wallet, what would you do, HONESTLY.

I know over the internet everyone wants to be a tough guy, but lets think about this like it's really happening to you, and tell me the truth. How would you react in this situation?

I wouldn't risk my life over some cash.

if i had a knife too? he would have to fight for it. I just might be crazy enough to make him fight for it without a knife as well.

It's just money. I wouldn't risk my life over it.

waste him or run as soon as it becomes clear there is going to be a confrontation... it would depend on the opponent.

Nothing is worth getting shanked or killed over

I have been in that situation, and lets just say that I won.

try to run like crazy, if theres no way i can get away i would pull out my knife and fight

if he had a gun however, i would throw my wife at him and run like crazy! :winkwink:

haha "Do what you want to the woman but leave me alone!" :thumbsup

If his intention is to steal your money only, do exactly as he says (no more, no less), give him the money, do not look him in the eyes.

You owe me $10.00 each ;)

i'd wave it in front of my mugger but i usually won't result to stabbing him

I witnessed an armed robery once, guy with a gun robbed two friends of mine I stood there in shock while the whole thing happened, a million thoughts ran through my head as he ran past me with a gun and my friends money, trip him, fuck that he has a gun, push him knock him down, fuck that he has a gun, run after him, fuck that he has a gun, in the end I just stood there and watched the whole thing happen and was glad he didn't get my money or shoot any of us.

when you are faced with that type of situation, what you say you would do and what you would actually do are two totally different things. My friends were like girl "why didn't you do this or why didn't you do that...blah blah blah I would have done blah blah blah" you never know how you're going to react to a situation until you are actually in it.
if i had a knife and he had a knife, chances are his knife is already out so he has the advantage, i'd give him my money.

kill him first and worry about the paperwork later

Ask him if I can keep the cards in my wallet but he can have the cash and hope he says yes, lol.

Hand over the wallet. Fuck it. No need to get in a knife fight over a few bucks.

Well said... the psychological momentum is very important, and is usually not in your favor in such situations.

You reacted in the best possible way - you did nothing, which most probably saved your life or the lives of your friends. Read my post above, if you are being robbed and you life is not threatened, you give the robber(s) what they want, money, car, watch, etc No matter how valuable they are, you can replace them, but once you die, you die for good ;)

Stab the cocksucker in the face and make sure he knows I'm taking his fucking wallet before he dies.

if he pulls out a knife im would feel blessed for carrying a firearm.

He doesn't have one, that's why he wants yours.

I don't carry any cash, but I do carry a gun.

"Hey, sure man, its in my jacket pocket here..."

I would kick him in the scrotum and while he was down, I would urinate in his ear.

Tell him I will give him 100 bucks for the knife and we can call it even.
Give him the money get the knife pull out other and grin :winkwink:

lol imagine someone was just gonna ask you for the time... and you run away scared... now that would be embarrasing :)

Since I'm being robbed I assume he already has his knife out and poised to fuck me up, which gives him a serious advantage. I'd give him the money.

depends on the person i guess
if you knife fight on the weekends theres a good chance you'll fight and probably win
if your mr magoo your best bet is to hand over the wallet and piss your pants
maybe they'll laugh and not stab you in the face
id shoot him because i usually carry a gun

Either way he's going to have a real bad day.

whenever i walk around I usually have a knife on me. but if the dude had the knife up to my throat screaming for my money, i'd give it to him. hes gotta turn his back and try to get away.... you can always stab the bitch in the back or at least try to.

I know what you mean, you always think fuck i should have done this or that.

It happend to me, I was in a bad part of town and I had to use a payphone because my gf kept 2waying me and my cell was dead. So I pull over and use a payphone, while Im on the phone these guys pull up behind my car and one approaches me and asked if I can give him $5 I was like naw sorry, I turn back around and tell my girl I have to go somethings going to happen, as soon as I put the phone down I turn around and have a gun in my mouth and a knife at my throat and these guys are saying that they are going to kill me cuz they know that I am from a rival gang cuz of my tattoos, I was like man what do you want take everything! Keep in mind that I was coming back from the hospital after my son was in surgery for 5 hours, so the only thing I could think about was dying and that it was the last time I was going to see my son. The guy with the knife walked to my car pulled my stereo out and grabbed my CD case the came to me and took my 2way and my wallet and left. Luckily I never keep money in my wallet I always keep it in my front pocket, if the would have went for it they would have came up on $700.

You never know what you would do until it happens, scary shit I though I was dying that day. When I seen this thread I thought fuck that I would fight, but then I remebered what happend 6 years ago. Be smart, the money isn't worth it!

I would hand him my wallet and then shoot him in the back as he ran away. I stopped carrying a knife after high school. :2 cents:

I've been robbed in the past when I was younger, I did in fact stab a guy once trying to rob, and another time I just gave up the cash and couldn't be bothered. Really about where your heads at at that moment.
And no that don't make me tough, I was just a really stupid kid growing up!~LOL

Mr Magoo always wins :mad:

I never go anywhere without my Spyderco in my back pocket. If you want a blade that will do the job on flesh fast as lightning, this is the one you want in your hand.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I live in the downtiwn core area of my city
if I have to go out after dark, I always go armed with a blade.
I figure if they are going to get me, I am taking at least one of them with me.

that's a serious knife

I probably wouldnt do anything with it unless i felt i was gonna get stabbed

I'll put up a fight with him after all I have a knife.

I'd throw my wallet down and be like, there take it

then fuck his bitch ass up when he went for it ;)

Like a few people on here I would stab him in the back :2 cents:

stab him in the face. and i dont have a knife i have a billy club.

Defend my life and money.

When I was working graveyards at a gas station, one night some little punk azn kid tried to hold me up with a deer-skinner. Now, this kid is maybe 5', I'm 6'1" and standing on a platform that's a few inches high, so I'll give him props for being ballsy.

Anyways, he pulls out this knife and waves it at me, he can barely reach over the counter cuz he's such a squat fucker, shouting at me in badly inflected english 'give me all your money'... so I reach down, grab the louisville slugger under the counter and say "I'm going to give you to the count of five before I come over this counter and cave in your fucking head."

He was quick, too. Out the door by the time I hit three, nearly at the edge of the property before I hopped the counter and started chasing at five. :1orglaugh

When the asst. manager came in at 6am to do shift change, I told him to go in the back and look at the surveilance tape. I could hear him laughing through the cinderblock wall... of course, he came back trying to look all serious telling me that I should have just given him the money. :winkwink:

That's one killer looking knife

i carry a gun. problem solved.

Yes, its the same model cops all carry. :)

i would kill him

stabby, stabby
