What is wrong with people today?
Today for the third time this year I was the victim of an attempted mugging. Twice it has been on a college campus by people of the college age. Today I was walking to my car in a parking lot and the kid approached me and demanded my wallet. I'm 19 and while not large an athletic build with a pretty distinct military look and currently in a walking boot, I am by no means an easy looking target. It was in the middle of the day. Luckily after I explained the error of his ways and produced a knife the perp took off like the hounds of hell were on his heals. When an officer arrived for my statement he told me man to man this is happening a lot this year with college student and there was basically zero chance of them catching him. What the hell is wrong with kids these days?!?! I understand that college is expensive but get a job and have some self worth to society. Thank you for letting me get this rant off my chest.

Glad to hear you managed to walk away intact. The same issues are here as well, althought it has been a few years since someone has tried to rob or attack me, we here in the UK are at the distinct disadvantage that we cannot carry a knife with the exception of an unlockable knife less than 3 inches which if searched you need a good excuse.
I personally am of the view that if I am attacked that I maintain the right to beat said person until he is no longer a threat. It has served me well and I have no extra holes as a result.
