If i was the driver, i would have given them everything without a question of doubt. Cats have no fun playing with a dead mouse.

[Mamyalynne]

Vile.

// i would have given them everything without a question //

that's fine, as long as your insurance company is ok with it - some will insist on you making some sort of effort to resist before settling any claim.

[spathiphyllum]

"as long as your insurance company is ok with it"

do you think i would give a flying hoot in that moment about my insurance company?

Preservation of life and health ALWAYS.

[Spicerack]

Victim's fault then, spath?

The usual footnote we have come to expect in all such cases.

/// The Metropolitan Police told MailOnline investigations are still ongoing and no arrests have yet been made. ///

Do you really think that such savage scum would be bothered anyway, they would still kick the hell out of you, that is how they get their kicks. (pardon the pun)

[youngmafbog]

Spath is right, these days too risky, too many carry knives and are only too willing to use them as they know the penalties are pathetic even if they get caught - which is unlikely(unless they call someone fat on the internet)

I'm a boy of the streets. I often find myself in serious hostile environments with groups of people who easily intimidate me. There is always a right way to act, trust me.

I am not blaming the victim, of course. But in any situation where someone is mugging you, just let them mug you. Sort it out later. Make sure your health and life is OK.

Just yesterday two black men, one being my size plus 1/2 stopped me in the street, asked me for the time . I assumed they wanted to steal my phone, i told them the time, they ask'd how, i pointed to the church clock.

[spathiphyllum]

"I assumed they wanted to steal my phone"

No that is not racist, i would have done the same if they were white. I could feel and read the situation. However if they knew i had a phone, i would have just given it to them. What are they going to do with a locked iphone, no box, that's been reported stolen?

[Spicerack]

^ Very racist. I've a good mind to report you.

[Arksided]

I was thinking they’d already mugged someone for a watch, but occurred to me, as if they can tell the time.

[Arksided]

*probably

[douglas9401]

We'll have a clue if the lead goes missing from the church roof then.

[david small]

Spicerack I assume you are being facetious re the racist jibe?

[Spicerack]

Jibe? If anybody thinks anything is racist then it is and the police must investigate it.
Spath taught me that.

[douglas9401]

It's a fair point, well made.
