My contacts with crime.
In America in 1990, I was pickpocketed by a young black man while entering an electronics store. It was funny because I had only 10$ in the pocket, so I imagine the faces of the gang seeing the loot. They could even think that their partner took the rest of the money stolen from me. ;D ;D ;D ;D
About 15 years ago, I had my car, parked in the street then, burgled into twice. Thieves broke the side window to take a carton of juice lying on the seat or the radio. But the gang of teenage boys was caught and cars were safe since then.
13 years ago I was punched in the face by a drunk young man in the street. The attack was sudden and unjustified. I stopped the man from leaving the site and called the police. Later on he apologised in tears and his mother compensated my costs (pain, time) so I didn`t take him to court, but forgave and forgot.
None of the cases required the usage of firearm. Probably the last one could suffice in US to take out a gun but the attack was so surprising that I didn`t have any chance to avoid it or prevent it. Even if I had a gun I wouldn`t be able to use it.
