Compliance: Not Always The Best Option | Active Self Protection

[@alloureiro2243]

translation of the lat video: bad guys: Don't delay. Get out, get out, get the fuck out. good guy: Wait, wait, i don't have anything. bad guys: Hurry, hurry. Get out, son of a bitch (punch the good guy in the face). good guy: Fuck, take it (get punched in the face the second time), fuck, relax man. Fucking hell, wait man. bad guys: Get out of the bike, get out of the bike, son of a bitch. (and his goddamn flip flops broke, that's probably why he shots) Go go go, turn around (shots fired). good guy: Ouch. Fucking hell. bora= hurry desce da moto= get out of the bike filho da puta= son of a bitch

Tried to get a job at a casino . . . they told him, "Close -- but no cigar." Obviously, therefore, a life of crime was the only option left; otherwise, he wouldn't have had a leg to stand on. ( ಠ ͜ʖಠ) Am reminded of Cook & Moore's classic sketch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJuuZ62HpZd5ms0

[@Uberragen21]

I met a 1 arm bandit while working in an ER. The cops caught him after he "strong arm" robbed several people (he was hurt when apprehended). He used a wire hanger stretched out, with one end on his stump and a large lock on the other (hidden with a jacket sleeve). He would approach victims nonchalantly and whack them with the lock. This shit really happens... crazy! Funny thing is how he was handcuffed. Ankles cuffed together and the 1 wrist cuffed to the ankle cuffs, basically hog tied.

[@nuthineatholl6434]

@@Uberragen21 Sounds very Dickensian, like a cosh-&-run scoundrel in some Fagan's-gang of special-needs thieves out of 'Oliver Twist'.

It would be interesting to start keeping statistics on your videos by recording attributes of the crimes and the outcomes and analyzing them. Like a simple resist or comply effect on outcome.

[@ClassicMagicMan]

Love the long videos! Who else?

[@MPGunther1]

Excellent lesson's John

[@joshuashaw9384]

Unless I'm with my family I will not comply. I know where I'm going and I'm not afraid to die. I would say most robbers don't have the balls to pull the trigger on someone but if someone happens to pull a gun on me I'm going to pull my gun and if they shoot and kill me well then it is what it is but if they don't kill me you best believe I'm going to shoot at them and I'm not going to miss. One of us is going to die and I don't care which one it is. I will never take the risk of complying and possibly being murdered in cold blood. I will not be a victim, if I'm going to die I'm going to die with a fight. Granted once I have kids or get married that might change my perspective a bit but until then I stand by this.

[@BocchiTheBox]

I'm so glad that the last guy managed to get another ride from someone nearby. Maybe a friend or stranger that saw him get robbed, either way a ride that helped him escape and get some help.

Compliance is a good strategy to stay alive however avoid the need and carry a gun.

[@coolT21323]

I wish it was legal here...

[@westtexasconstruction]

In more than a couple of these scenarios I believe a gun would have been useful for example if I'm on the motorcycle I always have a gun on my hip and when I go to the ATM, I only use drive-thru and I usually pull the gun out of the holster and have it ready and accessible especially if there's other cars nearby or people walking

[@westtexasconstruction]

When the one legged robber put the gun under his arm to pick something up would have been the perfect time to dry your weapon and smoke both of them

[@Peeter8]

If thieves can have guns, so should good samaritans. Better to be tried by twelve than buried by six.

In Pakistan, where that ATM video was shot, all you have to do is bribe a public official with enough money for a "Weapons Permit" and you can own any Military grade Weapon limited to explosives. When I was there for a year I was with family and we were going around the town With AK-47s. The Self Defense market is huge in Pak, but most people there dont believe in the use of fire arms for self Defense.

So here's a question that came to my mind immediately. With the ATM guy, if it was you, and you're going to try to comply and you also have your firearm. Now what?! Do you fight to keep it or let them take it? There's no room in there and I'm just not sure what to do in that case. Opinions and reason would help me. Thanks in advance.
