Well, unless thay allow
YOU, their
prey, to run away, u can counter- attack
or
u can submit to their most
ignominious public humiliations.
So far as I can see, those are your only choices.

While thay were in the midst of
robbing u of all your possessions and your dignity??
Izzy, the point that I have been endeavoring to bring out
("obsessed" as u say) is that by permitting them to make u strip naked in public for them
u allow them to inflict an
INTOLERABLE affront to your personal dignity.

No, we are discussing them robbing u of everything that u have, down to your skin, (as apparently happened)
and
HOW u 'd
respond to that.
Note, incidentally, that it was reported on American TV News Networks; (that 's how I heard of it),
not just the Daily Mail (of whose existence I was not aware).

OK, if your children were present,
then woud u respond differently??
If so, how ??
izzythepush wrote:What would you have done had you been unarmed?
Just
DON 'T LET THAT HAPPEN; (being unarmed is
irresponsible negligence, creating a
dangerous condition),
the same as I always carry a spare tire and a jack in my trunk
and I always carry medical insurance; (I don 't wait until I think I 'm getting a heart attack).
The mere fact of being visibly armed, without more, has rescued me
from attempted felonious depredation.

I paid them a visit and terrified them.
In terror of what??

I honestly can't remember the last time I thumped someone.
Its good to lead a peaceful life ( if u r not being robbed in the street ).
