UK probably so everyone here is a major phoggat, Seen alotta hero cases in the US though
it's obvious the robbers either knew them/the situation so were hired by someone, cause dat dere timing even if they did wait for a massive transaction to go down in a bank. After stuff similar to this my dad would get his driver to drive elsewhere while he got a cab and then would switch cabs like 2 or 3 times, stronk paranoia is still stronk, tells me to keep money in several different pockets, and never tell too many people where your going/what your doing...
$12k couldn't catch a cab smh..
also what language is S'hir khyz bash ta kamro bayss and whut it mean?

Honestly thought one guy had a gun for some reason when I made my posts. But still my point stands.
And it's always the dudes on the internet who act like they are from the hood or have "seen chit" are sitting behind their moms computer, pls go. No one in this thread is trying to act tough. I simply am saying I don't think that would have happened in America, maybe cause people are dumber here in a sense they wouldn't realize the danger. but I full-heartedly believe on a bus that full someone would of done something.
Danias, lets go, please tell us story time. Where do you live and why have you had a gun pointed at you multiple times *******?

Your dad is probably right man, you can never be too aware of your surroundings; you can always tell people too much though.

The 2 gunmen are at the front of the bus with a narrow 1-person walkway the only way to get to them. How is anyone going to do anything without getting a bullet in the face? Not to mention most of the people near the front seem to be women.
Also I think you're idealizing America a bit. There have been tons of cases of bystanders doing nothing to help a person getting robbed/beaten or worse.*Korean Crew*

Spent a week in Ecuador this summer.
It's a beautiful country... I would eat delicious meals of Chicken and Rice and Salad and Soup and fresh juice from exotic fruits, and the total would be $1.75. Gasoline is $1.03 per gallon. There are police EVERYWHERE.
Rule number 1 is that you don't flash wealth. $12,000 goes a loooooong way, and I can see why these people became an unfortunate target. Still, the presidential palace is in the middle of Quito. The president comes out and talks to the people each day without any glass barricades or secret service everywhere. I was talking with a state department guy who works at the embassy, and he told me how he got robbed once... He got into the wrong taxi, and he got followed by a couple of guys on dirtbikes who maced him when his taxi came to a stop. Most crimes are crimes of opportunity where financial gain is the motive. Lots of stories about people getting their pockets slashed on public transportation.
Still, I never got fukked with, even though I had was walking down all kinds of weird streets with a pretty blonde... definitely in a few places I didn't belong. The people were friendly, the food was great, the beer was super cheap. Supposedly, there still are some streets that you don't want to walk down, period, but maybe it was my being manmore status that nobody tried to start shiit.
We could learn a lot as a country from the way Ecuador does things... There is a hardware store on every corner and they try to fix things rather than throw things out and buy new. They keep their natural resources for their people (oil, food), so that global markets don't affect their natural economic stability. Even though the people are pretty poor, the quality of life is in many ways better than in the USA.

Seriously? I'm not even sure if your post is worth replying to, "*******".
Anyway, I'll tell you since you want to know man.
Once in Detroit. Wrong place wrong time. Friend was acting pretty suspicious. Starting to think he was on some chit looking back. We were in a rental car when it happened. Guy pulling gun on us was a cop. Similar situation in California once but no guns involved whatsoever, cops were really nice guys. Twice in Middle East. First time at airport for no reason. A very young guy, probably just a couple years older than me in military uniform lost his patience with me for some reason. Security check, I had some white candy my cousins left in my pocket that I guess the guy thought looked like drugs. Points at it, looks at me, asks about it. Smiled, wondered whether he wanted some. Next thing you know points at me with AK to show who's the boss or **** like that. Actually didn't even wanna sound like a smartass. Looking back I realize how stupid and cocky I sounded. Stopped smiling as I realized what was happening. Confronted some of his unarmed ******* friends afterwards (same age as us) who joked about it, cousins were pissed. Militaries had those unibrows of peace. One of my cousins who had been training to become an officer told me how corrupt these guys were. Next visit there I hung around them and some of them were friendly. Might've been since they knew my cousin. Also another time, same city. Outside of a Mixed Martial Arts gym. Some gang, like 6-7 guys smoking outside approached when we got out. Was with cousins this time as well, luckily. He told me later these guys act first ask questions last. Once in Sweden. Security guard racial profiling my group of friends. We basically had just entered an athletic apparel store. Apparently boots had just been stolen. No idea why they'd have to go amateur SWAT and emulate some wannabe Black Ops **** (these were like 4-5 overweight idiots with no idea what they were doing) and they waited until we were in the changing room. See a chubby ginger approach me small talking asking me how my day was. Saw his face thinking he was an FA civilian tryna make friends and chit. Step outside, like 4 of his bald donut lovers with guns taking their job way too seriously to the right. Friends pissed afterwards as cops realized we were innocent, friends say they pulled the race card, which was actually pretty ****ing accurate in this case (not their assumptions but the fact that they chose us because of appearance). We were young, but there were plenty of other people they could've approached who had been there longer than us. Reason they chose us was pretty clear.1.85 m (6'1")
