Hey now, don't let actual real world experience get in the way of the NES Groupthink!Wow I go to China town all the time..Usually once or twice a month..Have any of you that say its a shat hole been down there in the last 20 years??..It is far from the Combat zone that it was when I was a kid..I am more worried about getting jumped in downtown Worcester than I am in China town.. Anyone not asian sticks out like a sore thumb and the blue vest China town patrol is usually not to far behind them
That jersey has a recall on it......Did any of them have a #81 patriots jersey on?
Would it have been ok for him to look left and right after they took off?
wat wus thread count on bad guys shirts?
I am actually really combat hard after watching that video
That jersey has a recall on it......
Sounds like your brother exercises situational awareness and it paid off in spades.
((Obviously by the time someone has a knife to your chest its a crapshoot if drawing a gun is going to help. I think if you're the type to wonder if a gun would help in some situation, then chances are you also don't have the proper mindset to be alert enough to avoid the situation altogether by acting before someone is right in your face.))
Really? You don't think so? Well, when I'm walking past anyone, or anyone is around me, my right hand is ALWAYS in my pocket, on my S&W 442. Just in case of stuff like this. (yes, Mr. President, it's "bitterly clinging" to the .38 because the young scumballs you enjoy seeing litter your Chicago hometown are here in MA too)... And I "practice draw" constantly, and draw/shoot when at the range. Fast, and ACCURATE.
Pull a knife on me and you'd better hope the .38cal +p hollow point hits the blade of the knife, cause otherwise it's gonna explode in your chest as the knife falls harmlessly to the pavement. I'll deal with the "Zimmerman consequences" later, cuz at least, like Zimmerman, I'll live to tell my side of the confrontation.
One thing I didn't see that I'll throw out there.
He should have told his wife to run.
I've lived in Boston and Lowell most of my life and used to work late in Chinatown. I can't judge the OP's brother. I've lived and worked in bad areas long enough to know that once they turned around, there was very little time to react. My life has not been without violent encounters and although running has worked, it's not always an option. I have made it very clear to my wife that if the SHTF she is to get herself (and the kids) as much distance as possible.
No Way! That is a horrible idea. If she takes off, one BG chases her and she has to deal with him all by herself. The herd stays together. The lions try to seperate the weak.
Depending on what I am carrying, the only way they are getting at my family is if they can dodge 25 rounds of .45 ACP or 37 rounds of .40
I miss something? OP says no restrictions for 7 years.
It's a fair point, but having been in the situation, I still think she should run. There's nothing she will be able to do by staying there, and running gets her closer to the rest of the herd, shelter, or a hiding place. Your best bet would be to chase the chaser if that's what happens. Up to that point, you're running block.
If you fend off the attack, it's probably moot. If they match your fire power or otherwise kill you, and she's still there, she's going to die. What benefit is there to her sticking around?
