According to police statistics, a victim of a mugging or rape attempt has
less chance of being harmed if they resist, whether by fighting or running
away or yelling-- anything. If you go where the guy tells you to go, that
will become "Crime Scene B".

The guy wanted my friend to admit that one car was better than another. I
don't know why. I don't know why he pulled a gun, maybe he thought it was
funny. Maybe he was drunk. And he didn't apologize after the guy drew a
gun on him because he was busy pounding the guy's face in. He didn't give
the guy a chance to point it at him. If he did, his very life would
become dependent on an unstable man's good graces. You just don't know
what he might do, but when the guns come out the party's over.
