Interesting story. I would never try to be a hero in these cases. Give them what they want and leave. I couldn't care less what others think, fighting back when there are 4(!) guys is always the wrong decision. Even when it's just one guy, he might have a weapon and you still have to be careful. 4 guys though...you have no chance.

Sometimes stuff like this happens but, there's not much you can do unless you want to move to a safer city. Just give them what they want and don't walk around with $700 in your pockets lol.

what's with the amount of agro people here? OP i understand that it was sort of the heat of the moment but I'm more of referring to the people suggesting self defence and a gun. that's downright retarded. if you ever get mugged the best thing to do is just give em your shit and let them run off (later reporting it).

also, you're not really in "shock". shock is when your blood pressure drops rapidly and your tissues can't be perfused. at most this is an acute stress event. but yeah, i don't think it's fair to say what you did was stupid, especially in the circumstances. it's always easier to say that you'd act some way rather than actually do it.

I live about 10 minutes from compton as well
Tips:
Don't walk alone if possible.
Keep your hands in your pockets.
Carry a weapon, even a pocket knife is enough most times.
Walk fast and hard.
Don't ever stop for anyone, just walk harder.

Yup korean. i think one of the reasons why they chose me was because i was wearing a nice dress shirt. I go to class right after my work. Good tips though some of them i didn't even think of.I live in Torrance which is completely opposite of ghetto.

I once had someone make me go to an ATM and take out 220 and give it to him. He pulled out a gun (or what looked like a real gun) while I was walking home on a Sunday night through the park after going to Macdonald's. It was only 6-7pm but it was in the Jane and Finch area. It was a black male too

I called the cops and they called me in 2 separate times to try and look at some pictures to see if I could ID the person but I never once saw a picture of the guy that took my money.

Walking alone especially after dark is not safe to do in some areas.

Good thing you fought back, its more likely they won't repeat. Invest in a gun most likely, and email your Senators if they are anti second amendment.

That would be the same when you assume 4 black dudes in a car pull up to you asking for directions.

edit: Only fight back if you know you're die, get kidnapped or raped. Maybe theres a flaw in that but whatever.

LOL Torrance/Gardena? These cities are ridiculously safe (okay maybe not so much Gardena) but since you're including both cities I'm assuming you're on the border of the two.

Still, there have been some strange stuff happening recently in Torrance.

The thoughts crossed my mind but i'm afraid its going to bring more trouble than prevent it. Its true it may save me in some cases but the area my college is in, is filled with rapists, gang members, and thiefs.

Yea i live pretty deep in Torrance where even thievery is unheard of so i never really expected to get mugged especially when its at the border of Torrance and Gardena.

Shit dude, that sucks. I live/work in the South bay and you hardly ever hear about any crime. Wouldn't exactly feel safe walking around Gardena at night though.

I've lived in the South Bay almost my entire life too where crime is seriously almost nonexistent. Only happens like every couple of years or so. I knew Gardena was somewhat ghetto but i never expected it to be this bad considering i was mugged literally at the entrance of Gardena not even deep inside where it really is dangerous.

A sidearm may run you upwards of $400, which isn't too much more expensive than your mp3 player. If you see yourself at risk of losing that much in carried assets in the future, a gun may be a good investment. And of course, your life is priceless.

Also I don't know what specifically you're wearing, but especially in winter there's no reason to go walking around flashing your tie and suit if you have a scruffy overcoat or parka to wear over it.

Best wishes. May you not face these troubles again.

This is so weird that 4 black kids mugged you, because 4 black kids tried to rob my friends house but he managed to scare them off. What is it and the number 4? Anyway I talked to him about it(he's a pretty big gun geek)and I mentioned about buying a gun, and he was like, "oh yeah I started looking at guns. The first thing that came to my mind is, "wow life is real huh?" I know, I know maybe having a weapon on you could be worse, but if you actually knew how to use it well, it could be such a life saver.

Anyway OP you've just reminded me that I'm definitely going to buy a gun when I turn of age and learn how to use it well, and maybe even think of getting a license to carry it with me.

Sorry you gut mugged, man. I'm glad things didn't end up going worse than they did.

While this probably sounds like a good idea, it's not that simple. Different types of chemical sprays function differently in different environments, weather, and so on.

How so? They're actually not that expensive, and it's merely your opinion that it's bad to have a gun on you for self defense.

What you can do is keep needles hidden in various parts of your clothing (ie, embedded in your belt loop, sticking in your wallet, etc), and then learn how to fight using needles. A surprise stab can be quite effective. You can nullify certain muscles by puncturing nerves, or you can be less merciful and puncture an artery.


...




Anyway, we all know fighting criminals 1v4 for your wallet is a retarded idea, no matter what weapon you are carrying.

If you want to feel safer in a good way I would seriously say learn some Parkour! There are a ton of great community sites where you can meet up with local groups in your area. I did, and its super fun, a ridiculously good workout, and makes me feel far safer in pretty much any circumstance.

Once you have a good wallrun and a few smooth vaults, good fucking luck to anyone trying to catch you.
I have to agree that fighting 4v1 over the contents of your pockets is a bad idea. I try not to carry so much cash that if I have to hand my wallet over I won't feel too badly about it. I'd rather go home minus my wallet than to end up with a knife in my ribs, a hollowpoint in my gut, or just generally getting the shit kicked out of me because I decide to put my pride over surviving.
