Exactly. He should never have taken his eyes off of the man and had a plan in place. ( Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.) Last year I was taking BART from San Francisco to Fremont, but had to get off in Oakland to change trains I had been reading my iPad but could view the train car. When I got off, the iPad was in my bag. I saw two black teens signaling each other, looking at me. One probably wanted to sucker punch me from behind so the other could snatch my messenger bag. I made direct eye contact with both of them, pivoting so I could see both, and fingered the SOG tanto knife clipped to my pocket, ready to draw at a moments notice. They looked at each other, realized they couldn’t take me by surprise, and moved down the platform.
Thanks.
I'm stealing that.
“He should never have taken his eyes off of the man and had a plan in place. “
Yup. And these people are running our world. I’m amazed we haven’t sunk to disarming citizens, killing unborn babies and celebrating faggotry. Oh, wait...
Outstanding! You saw the predators, saw their predatory signals and intent and then made them realize that you were a predator too.
More people need to be like this. These ferals prefer ambush attack and sucker punching the unwary, especially old white people.
The transfer station is 19th Street, is this where you were?
The 12th Street - Oakland City Center station, one stop south, is the one where the aboveground neighborhood contains some unsavory individuals. If you're there during business hours you should be OK if you keep your eyes open. I haven't personally had any incidents there, aboveground or below, but try to be cautious.
Excellent, you did well! I was at Stonestown mall in SF, sitting on a bench with my iPad while waiting for my wife to come out of a clothing store. Even though I'm reading on my iPad, I still use my peripheral vision to monitor who is nearby. So I notice a black guy with a hoodie covering his head, nearby watching me. Starts getting closer, stopping, then moving closer. I figured he thought I'm an easy target, old white man. While keeping my attention on the iPad, I pulled my buckknife open, sliding it up alongside my iPad. Then I looked him in the eye and he probably realized he would be hurting bad if he tried anything and he slithered off. Like you said, have a plan to kill everyone you meet, not that you would, but have a plan just in case.
