I was Mugged in London and I fought back, I managed to conflict serious injury to my Mugger, I had a knife and I removed his left eye and also stabbed him in the chest.
Not really, there have been several attempts, none successful.
Last one was in Basel a few years back. The guy had a knife, I had a bottle of wine - he ended up in the Hospital with a broke skull, broken arm and herniated testicles. The police pressed no charges against me.
Memorable one was 6 years ago in Lagos. Police officers at a a checkpoint coming from the airport demanded a fine be paid on the spot. they got their fine money and a bogus credit card. Cost of doing business in West Africa in general, Nigeria a common occurrence. NBD - one never argues with a loaded AK stuck in your face.
I've never yet been mugged or dipped....Not sure what I would do until it happens....I've only ever been mugged by the criminals in local government and our so called legal professionals ...:(
It was two-on-one, they were both 6'+, I'm not even 5'6". I gave them what I had, it wasn't much. I sometimes fantasize about reacting differently, but the reality is i had no chance.
Once a guy with a knife tried to rob me so I thought fast and pretended to be gay then I asked him if he wanted to get lucky and I glanced over at some bushes . When he glanced over at the bushes I clocked him in the side of the head with a 6 pack of Lucky lager that I had in a plastic bag. Cheers!
