[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2540026]Are you suggesting robbery is a petty crime? If my life is being threatened in Latin America or anywhere else I don't consider that a petty situation, you're welcome to.
But don't go telling others to consider it "no big deal", I like his advice, slash them across the eyes with a razor blade, lets see how soon they retire from their (according to you) noble profession.[/QUOTE]The situation in question did not involve a robbery. It was just a group of guys who threw something at someone after he turned his back and then gave themselves up by laughing. But I can't say that changes my stance very much. If you're getting robbed by a group, shit there goes your money. If you pull out a knife on them, shit, there goes your life. At least one of them will probably have a knife that was made to cut more than cardboard but even if not you're still fucked. You'd need something with reach like a bat or a golf club if you want any hope of taking on a group. Again, not saying that's a good idea. I would agree that it sounds like some of us may have seen too many action movies.
