disagree that its like the wild west, cause NYC residents can't legally bear arms so they are forced being victims by law

still better being mugged by a privateer than government officials like happened to  Shrem, the BurtW guy or the guys in Florida  Embarrassed

Easy fix. Open carry and trade in a public place with lots of cameras. Criminals are stupid but they aren't that stupid.

Since NY citizens don't have the same rights as normal people (and can't carry the tools required to protect themselves), I suggest they trade in the police station lobby.



The gif is funny Cheesy

Anyways it's quite easy to avoid these circumstances , just deal in a public place and don't carry much in single wallet
But if you're out of luck , you will get robbed anyway Undecided

By the looks of it that guy had his femoral artery or vein slashed and is bleeding out all over his leg and the ground. I wouldn't consider that funny at all. I honestly hope the guy lived...

Femoral artery?!!!  Geez way to take a gif WAAYYYYY out of context, dude!   Cheesy

The guy is clearing pissing himself, touching his wallet with pee, and touching the dollars in the wallet with pee, thus disgusting the robber in the process.

I agree, he wouldn't stay upright bleeding that fast.

If you sell Bitcoin to individuals in person, be very careful! People are being mugged for their Bitcoin at gunpoint. http://observer.com/2015/02/bitcoin-crime-wave-breaks-out-in-nyc/
i don't see the difference between trading bitcoin and trading any other stuff, if you sell any kind of stuff to a shady person in a non-public place you are gonna get mugged and you deserve it for not using your brain!

That is clearly urine running down his leg, there was no slashing involved.

"It's always better to have a gun and need it, than not have a gun and not need it."  one of my favourite lines from Trailor Park Boys
Trailer Park Boys pushing an ignorant redneck pro-gun agenda, what a surprise.

If your assailant comes up behind you with ANY weapon, your gun is worthless.
If your assailant puts his weapon to the head or throat of you or one of your loved one, your gun is worthless.
If your assailant catches you while you're sleeping, your gun is worthless.
If your assailants outnumber you, your gun is worthless.

If (one of) your assailant(s) is frightened into discharging his firearm when you draw yours, your gun could get you killed.
If your assailant doesn't at first notice that you have a gun because it's concealed, your gun could get you killed.
If the police arrive and mistake you for one of the criminals, your gun could get you killed.
If you fire on your assailant and fail to kill with the first one or two shots, your gun could get you killed.
If you fire your weapon and kill your assailant, your gun could land you in prison.
If you fire your weapon and kill some other poor bastard, your gun WILL land you in prison.

On the other hand, if you simply hand over your wallet to your assailant, you are pretty much guaranteed to get away unharmed.
I would rather have pepperspray over a gun in 99 out of 100 situations involving an armed criminal.

Literally the ONLY situation in which I'd rather have a gun is if my assailant intends to kill me from the outset. I'm a nice guy, so that's pretty fucking far fetched.

Do I really need to go on?

"It's always better to have a gun and need it, than not have a gun and not need it."  Little off topic but one of my favourite lines from Trailor Park Boys (who do accept bitcoin).
And what would you do? If they are robbers they will get their guns before you do, if they are more than one you can't do nothing about it.

There are two gun policies that work to minimize the risks of gun danger. One is "everyone has guns", the other is "no one has guns". Anywhere inbetween won't work, and that's why America has such a high rate of gun-related problems compared to everywhere else, which goes closer to the "no one has guns" approach (while in America, many people have guns but it's far from everyone).
Well the no one has guns isn't exactly working out as the cities with very low gun ownership have lots of gun related murders, since lawful citizens can't get them but criminals can illegally.
Check this statistic out:
https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2013/09/11/uk-violent-crime-rate-eight-times-higher-than-the-us/
Maybe we have more gun violence but they have 8 times the amount of other crime than us, and they have very little guns.
The no one has guns approach will not work unless every single gun is somehow redundant and does not fire at all, which is not possible.

Violent crime rate includes people being punched in the face, kicked, pepper-sprayed, etc...

Would you rather get punched or shot at?
Well of course I'd rather be punched but I'd rather not be assaulted at all, if I was carrying and drew my weapon then the assaulter will likely run away as usually they just have knives or just fists to try to rob you with. I'd like to point out that violent crime includes things like knives which are also lethal.

Did not read the whole story (read the first two and last paragraphs). I can't believe there would be people who will 'force' people to transfer their Bitcoin. If I were to exchange with stranger.. I will meet him or here at a busy place.

In response to the “everybody should be armed” argument, people should simply ask the gun activist whether or not they support Iran getting a nuclear weapon. By the logic that the gun activist applies, everybody is safer when everybody is armed, and this would translate to support for Iranian weapons; in reality, these people almost always say that Iran isn’t a rational actor and that giving them a nuke endangers everybody around them. When they say this, you should simply tell them that not every gun owner is rational and that unrestricted gun ownership is the micro-equivalent to letting every country have nukes.
Still waiting.
Uhh no these are different issues. If there was a guarantee of ZERO guns, meaning somehow guns just couldn't work anymore, I'm sure everyone would like this, including myself. But since criminals have access to black markets, they will still get guns REGARDLESS of whether it is illegal or not. Drugs are illegal but people are still using them no? Heres the thing. Criminals will have guns regardless, but the gun laws are telling us whether or not lawful citizens will be able to own them too. People want to be armed so they can protect themselves. Having to use your gun for self-defence is rare, probably won't happen in the average lifetime but it happens to some people. You would probably want protection in that case. Put it like seatbelts. You probably won't get caught in a car crash but if you do, you would be wishing you had a seatbelt. I never said that "everyone should be armed", I am pointing out the bullshit in your "facts".
