Rocket-Boy Posted August 31, 2016 Share The concern about it on the flipside is that the thieves may assume their targets are dangerous and just start stabbing first in future. Jocklaw and MAJ Miller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus Posted August 31, 2016 Share Just a thought, but the people who say the cyclist could, in order to have preserved lives, just handed his bike & belongings over do understand that the robbers could have, if they had chosen to, jumped back the second a knife came into play and said "sod that for a game of soldiers" and run for it. . . . Not only did they make a bad decision when they woke up that morning and chose to illegally relieve someone of their belongings, but later they then made a second bad decision to continue fighting with what I assume was a very angry man with a knife. Maybe we don't know all the facts yet, but it does seem that these guys were on a mission of self destruction.

nickelass Posted August 31, 2016 Share most cyclists are fit and can be strong, so you outnumber and try to hit fast ,hard , and pull them down, the element of supprise is vital...be the aggressor... these guys were not politely asking for a donation for there local church fund.

Smile and wave,,, or not that simple??Not that simple- be ultra aware all the time - and pre plan a response- run like hell is my advice - your family will thank you - bikes and phones etc can be replaced, scars and caskets are not cool.

LOOK695 Posted September 1, 2016 Share The concern about it on the flipside is that the thieves may assume their targets are dangerous and just start stabbing first in future.Be it a car/bike hi-jacking, house burglary etc, when are these thugs ever empty handed? They come prepared. A rock or stick can also become a murder weapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin PJ Posted September 1, 2016 Share I have got something, but I don't think the tech is advanced enough yet to achieve the goal of tracking everything. We will get there though, within a few years. The devices are still quite big, need to be charged often and most need sim cards to work. Also they are expensive.

ricochet_rabbit Posted September 1, 2016 Share I was at school with this bloke. He's a big bloke, 6ft 2 or so and probably 110+ kgs. Not the the type of bloke to initiate something but would stand his ground. Edited September 1, 2016 by ricochet_rabbit nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
