glad youre both safe.

X 2 you did the safe and right thing for your wife first and foremost and then yourself.

Good thinking on your part to remain calm and comply.

Isn't that cowardly?

No, not really. The enemy can think that he is prepared, when in truth and in fact, he had underestimated the situation and is actually unprepared for the undertaking.

in this case the enemy is the robber and he had a gun ....the victim was what? expecting to be robbed ....?

or in another instance if yuh out numbered or being advantaged.....take what is delivered and return it 10fold.

actually yes, i was expecting to be robbed... it was the beetham after all.

which is why i 1) told the wife stay in the car, lock the door. 2) i moved with as much haste as I could.

good to know you and the wife are safe man
you have alot of composure and sense to make the decision you made
kudos to you
having a gun may have ended with you or some innocent bystander being killed not necessarily the best way to go

btw did you bother to report it?

Silvermike · Postby **Silvermike** » February 18th, 2009, 7:43 pm

yea, at the traffic branch and then at besson street... tottally useless im sure... but i needed the report to get back my sim

I need a gun.

Don't we all. If i had one when they stole my car right in front of me the guy would've been drinking from a straw all now. I don't believe killing them it's not justice enough that is a easy way out. Make them suffer for the rest of their lives cause they care not about the stress you and yours endure when sheit like this happens.

Silvermike · Postby **Silvermike** » February 18th, 2009, 8:10 pm

thanks for all the comments guys. and yes while i do agree there was alot that went right about the situation, and there is much to be happy for...

we need to be angry at the stuff that did go wrong... and realise that all this is really unacceptable, and that shomething eneds to be done. At the end of the day this is our country, and some things are worth fighting for.

i get what you saying man its a sad day when you cannot enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
Society on the whole has failed Trinidad everyone wants to blame someone else no one takes responsibility and the law is an arse

ever wonder why Tobago took soooo long to get bad and they still not half as bad as Trini?
they still have a sense of culture a sense of family

" dont make me have to shoot you in front of all these poeple. Hand me your wallet and cell phone"

Now this guy was 5'7 or so, 150 lbs. Standing on the shoulder... too close to me, telling me he's an amateur. The conciderations I had were the 2 cepep workers on my left cutting grass with blades, who I noticed stopped cutting, but werent about to help.... atleast not help me anyways.

The other concideration was my wife in the car that the cyhat didnt seem to notice due to the sun's glare on the front glass. All in all, the situation was calm for the moment, and money and a 2 year old cell phone is not worth the fight. So I handed them to him.

He proceeded to take all the cash out and hand me back the wallet containing my license, CC and other stuff. That was nice.

He then patted my pockets, saw I had nothing else of value really and then told me... " Of now go. This is the betham, yuh hear?"

So I got in the car and left.... At which point I thought to run his a$$ over... but that would cost more to fix than the money he stole....

I need a gun.

Good choice man. Sorry to hear of the experience nonetheless. But a Firearm wouldn't have done you any good there. Man only take your cash and cellphone.
Shooting him would have complicated your life beyond belief.
