"We often hear advice being given suggesting that during a robbery you should offer up no resistance and do exactly what you're told. After all, the robber is only after your money, right? Setting aside the fact that, for women, rape is a very real possibility as a secondary crime during a robbery, we can look at several real life instances to see if the "always comply" advice is sound." ... -------
Author's Note: "Do exactly as you are told. DO NOT RESIST!" That advice for how to survive a robbery is often given by "experts" who don't understand the criminal mindset. Far too often, even full compliance leads to the injury or death of the victim. Sometimes, resistance isn't futile. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
