how do I know they are thugs? have I met these people before? did I just see them beat someone down? Do they have a reputation? Do they just look 'thuggish'? :/ Are they gang members? If they are thugs like you said, thugs how violent? Like cut you with a machete violent/ pistol whip you or shoot you violent? Or knock your stuff out of your hands violent? Thugs that say rude things?

I don't know how I could answer this question without specifics.

sure what?

Just assume they are thugs. You can infer anything else yourself

Say, "OHAI MAH BROTHAS FROM ANOTHA MOTHA"

I don't understand why this isn't an option. D:

» gwengwel on March 13th, 2010, 3:26pm

Yeah, and the option : freeze like the coward that I am...............
Loke at herself when she write that. Mouhahahaha!!!

thread

» morphin007 on March 13th, 2010, 4:24pm

I think "Wait to be saved" is the same but not as extrem in words =)
You aren't a coward to freeze in a dangerous situation, i think most of people would do that if the thugs have a weapon or outnumber your group.

Ah, No one really knows how they'll react until they're actually in the situation itself. I really have no idea - Although I picked "Run away with all your friends", I may actually be flattering myself x; You never know. ^ ^;

I would like to say dial 911 but I probably won't do that. If they seriously want to cause trouble, the only way is to run with my friend. They can just steal my phone if I take it out.

thread

» ImBZppl on March 13th, 2010, 8:56pm

easy, attack the thugs first!!! They wont see it coming!
muwahahaha

thread

» ichigo_daisuki on March 13th, 2010, 11:35pm

My friends and I would definitely run away together XD
You can call us cowards but that would be the right decision in our minds.

well this is reality who knows what gonna happen? avoiding is best option.

thread

» asudake on March 14th, 2010, 4:40pm

Well i don't know how to answer this question. It's pretty vague. It's obvious the choice any guy out their will have to make. If the guys are looking for trouble then try to defuse the situation. If they want to fight, walk away, if they begin to attack... Muster the most of your strength and GO FOR IT!!! But i guess of the options it would have to be Protect Friends. But they give to vague choices. I would have preferred the option:
"Stand your Ground".

The best solution is to avoid trouble before it gets to you. I - and I assume many other people - do not have awesome fighting skills or carry around weapons; however, there's no telling what those looking for a fight are prepared to do. It's better to run and then call 911 instead of standing there waving your cell phone around. pfft. You'd need something more than "scary-looking people were walking towards me." If you are caught in a fight, then fight back to get away. If you can't physically help your friends, then it's better to get away and call for help.

Pft haha. I would agree to this as long as those "thugs" have weapons. If they are simply the "thugs" that we all knew in high school then I'd give them a good beating if they try anything. I'am pretty confident when it comes to an old fashion brawl, but like I said... knives/guns are a different story.

It don't matter anyways, since once you beat a thug down, they'll track you and get you with more people. Possibly with weapons. The smartest would be "run with your friends". bigrazz

thread

» SCKing88 on March 16th, 2010, 6:12am

We're talking thugs here, not the dang mafia. Those ordinary street thugs you see walking around can't do anything to you. Track you down? Unlikely, unless your somehow involved with shady business like drug sales, ect.

thread

» Yama_San on March 17th, 2010, 12:57am

If you meant thugs as in regular street punkasses, I get you. But I usually picture a thug as a gangster, generally the type who has his buds. With.. baseball bats or other crude weapons. Even the best fighter can't take on five guys with weapons, despite how they're portrayed in mangos and animu.

thread

» lilbro on March 19th, 2010, 6:34pm

Why isn't there an option to just ignore them? Its says they approach you, not attack. Or an option to ask them whats up?

thread

» SCKing88 on March 20th, 2010, 8:33am

I've seen one beat three pretty quickly before, and five is not such a big jump; especially if there is a huge gap in experience as well as training. I'am pretty sure that someone with enough training can handle 5 guys; people with hardly any real experience and lots of talk (ie: thugs) are rather easily taken down. Also, it's not like you have to fight all 5 at the very same moment; seperating them by just a few steps makes it that much easier.
