That’s a good article.

Try this too.

Cooper covers a few more topics, but this is as good today as it was when it was written.

The OTHER OPTION is to vote for people who are willing to put muggers in jail.

I don’t know, but I suspect 80% or more of mugging victims are Democrats (for various reasons, but the result is the same).

How to Make a Decoy Wallet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some good advice in that article....I’m just stingy enough that I’m not sure I’d willingly give up five $1 bills, a five, ten and twenty-dollar bill but then again, I have to wonder whether the fact my wallet is empty most of the time of actual bills is all that different from other people.

There was a time when I wouldn’t bother to pay for small amounts with a credit card but nowadays with a chip card, I use it for everything. This morning for example, I bought a coffee and just tapped my card on the reader. Doesn’t everyone do that?

Here is one thing that I’ve thought of doing... I want to get a videocam like the ones that police wear and that alone would likely give would-be muggers pause for thought. If they did insist on going through with the mugging, what I’d say is that not only are they on video, it’s being streamed....

Thank you!

I remember in the very early 1970s reading a reprint of an article from one on the NY papers about an old man hobbling across Central Park. Some muggers accosted him but he proceeded to beat the hell out of them. The article concluded with a bit of advice to the muggers: Next time, don’t try to mug Jack Dempsey.

“I want to get a videocam like the ones that police wear”

I've done it. Used a body cam from Amazon during Covid. It was like kryptonite to Karens/Kens, assorted masktards etc. Never went up against a mugger. I used to get a lot of sideways glances and general wariness. Its a good idea.

[hecticskeptic]

Thanks for your comment... I would bet that muggers would hate them but the risk is that they’d try to harm you while trying to rip it off you. This is why I’d tell them at the outset that it is actually streaming the data...

Steve Martin said that muggers leave crazy people alone and suggested wetting your pants before going into dangerous areas.

[rlmorel]

LOL, I am not mean, but I try to appear as forbidding as I can...:)

I think it is good practice.

I am a sitting duck these days. Knock me over and odds are good I can’t get back up, let alone quickly. It is a world of difference from being young when you could run, dodge, defend, spring back up after a fall.

At this point, my best defense is not to get attacked. Well, that and CCW.

Muggers will hardly ever announce their intentions straight away. More often than not, a mugger will appear to be just like you, appear as an ordinary man or woman and ask for the time. Asking the time should ring alarm bells, as most people have phones. If this is how you’re approached as you’re walking, don’t break step, keep the pace while answering them confidently and looking them in the eye. You may also be stopped by a mugger and they’ll “ask for directions”. If this is their approach, create some distance, then answer their questions while continuing to walk away. Head for the nearest densely-populated area. If you see any shady-looking characters about and feel uneasy, trust your instincts and leave the area.

I'll bet 100% fo these scummy lowlifes are democrats.
