It seems counter-intuitive, then again, the fact that they didn't attack tells me that they weren't that committed anyway. I think most muggers want an easy score, they don't want to get hurt in the process. Also, if the lead guy was say, the brother of the other two, they might have been less inclined to pussy out and run to leave him to his fate, in which case, clinging on to him whilst doing all these gruesome things to him might have backfired, big-style if that was the case.
Question to you:
Why in Hell would you WAIT until they attacked? When I’m surrounded, I already know what their INTENT is.
PreEMPTIVE strikes are the most successful.
Again I say, you are an ABSTRACT thinker. You need to experience the real.
Taste that copper penny, then talk to me. Until then, you are only a guy who creates scenarios in his mind, and beats down straw men.
I have been beaten down for real. I have feared for my life for real. I have been beaten until I didn’t know what day it was.
And I was the “good guy.”
Have a nice night, you and I live in different worlds.
