Have you or anyone you know ever been mugged? Or maybe street scammed/pickpocketed? Share tips and tricks to avoid being victimized.

Muggers do not target specific types of people; rather, they look for the least resistant targets who appear vulnerable or unaware of their surroundings.

As with all traumatic incidents, being mugged can result in more than physical injury and loss of valuable personal items. The longer-lasting impact of a mugging can be Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), an extreme type of anxiety disorder that can make the sufferer's life unmanageable. Mugging is violent crime, and once a person is victimized by violent crime at the hands of a stranger-especially one with a weapon-it's challenging to trust the world again.

Muggers look for the path of least resistance, targeting individuals who appear distracted, isolated, and vulnerable. Convicted street robbers assess victims based on three main factors: perceived lack of awareness, visible valuables, and signs of physical weakness

Criminal Planning Cycle and Victim Selection Process
The first step is target selection; criminals typically select individuals who are vulnerable and unaware of their surroundings. These victims unknowingly display non-verbal cues and behavioral signals labeling themselves as oblivious to their surroundings. Indicators of a preferred victim include abnormal walking stride (dragging feet), slow walking rate, awkwardness of body movements, posture and even gaze.

Lowkey there was this one video about pickpocket tactics and one of them was pretending to be drunk and hugging a stranger. It kinda happened to me when some dude in my dorm randomly hugged me. I don't remember anything going missing but it feels kinda bad I wasn't suspicious enough.

I had a guy get shifty after I already gave him $10 (because he asked and I thought he needed groceries). He tried to get me to look down (old tactic of getting you to look at your watch or shoes). I'm not sure if the plan was to take the entire wallet, pull a weapon or take the car keys… I just backed up while watching him until I got into my car and left. I don't take money or cellphones out at the request of strangers anymore.

Well said.
Too many Americans think that they are prepped because they have 12 cans of pears, a box of ammo, and a rifle.
You can't get too comfortable.
You need to have at least a two year supply of food and water, gold, thousands of bullets, and several guns stashed away today.
The collapse could happen this year or next year. You can feel it.
Take this seriously.
Pass the word.

If a guy tried to rob you, just knee him in the balls as hard as you can. It will be so painful and humiliating for him.

Do the elites plan to wall off cities so that no one can escape?
