I think as the economy gets worse, crime gets worse and more violent. I used to work for the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) a few years back. I was dispatched to a robbery at a local convenience store one night at approx 2:00 am. I was the first to arrive on scene, and policy was no weapons drawn unless in physical danger. I didn't see anyone in the store except the clerk behind the counter. I went into the store, thinking that the perp had left, but it turns out the clerk was unconcious behind the counter and the perp was wearing his uniform.
I was shot twice, once in the back and once in the neck which ended my career. After 2 years of surgery and rehab, I walk with a slight limp, but I am still alive.
The moral? There really isn't one I just wanted to let you know that even "proffessional crime fighters" are subject to violence just as much, if not more than regular people.
I hope your okay, man, just don't walk home from a bar at that time. Many thugs and punks are waiting when bars let out just for that reason. Many people who leave bars at closing are intoxicated and their judgement and reason are impaired.
And Morgan, you were lucky. The best thing to do is give them whatever they want period, because it's not worth your life. You have no idea, what the muggers MO is or what kind of weapons they have. A leg kick can't beat a bullet.
