Re: My friend was mugged

That scenario has been pretty well worked-out.
Here's another real-world one. I've often thought about how I would handle this.
Like in the original example, prevention and situational awareness are key here.

This happened to a friend of mine about a year ago in a Wal-Mart parking lot at around 2:00AM.

He parked his car.
As soon as his car door closed, unseen BG told him to freeze or he'd blow him away.
My friend froze, of course.
BG was behind him. He never saw him.
BG told him to lay down on the ground beside his car and spread his arms and legs.
Friend complied.

BG closed the distance to very, very close behind him and gave him orders.
"Take your right hand and slowly pull everything out of your front right pocket.... now the back pocket.... Now take your left hand and take everything out of your front left.... now the back pocket...."

BG took what he wanted and told my friend, "Count to 100. Don't get up, don't move, don't yell. My friends are watching you, and if you don't wait for the full 100, we have your driver's license; we will find you and kill you."

My friend complied.

So far as I can tell, there is absolutely zero way out of this situation. Preventing it is the only way to win this one.

Now, for all we know, BG had a snickers bar instead of a Glock. And there were no other friends. Nothing was certain.

My guess is that BG was alone and unarmed.
But is that a theory worth testing?
