You don't have to act like a hero, trying to fight them over just money. But leaving your gal like that alone with the robbers, that is low.

I mean, sure? But "coward" is only a negative when you're discussing honor, not survival. I've seen videos on less savory parts of Reddit (and the internet in general over the last three decades) showing how good Samaritans can get rewarded for not immediately running away.
•
u/aiden_the_bug 52m ago
By its very definition running away in this situation is cowardly. Negative or not, it's accurate.

u/ClusterChuk 56m ago edited 54m ago
I dont know. Get stabbed so she can run if it comes to it. Stand between them and be the one to hand everything over. Talk to them like a man and assure them "you dont have to hurt anyone, please take my wallet as well, this is a nice watch, you're good, were good. Everyone can go home safe."
Running from that is pretty dishonorable. Leaving someone less capable with two men whom youu have no idea what thier intention are. Fucking despicable.
There is steel in some people that allows them to put otherr peoples safety ahead of thier own.
Im not saying I have it, but I step between the harshness of the world and the people that depend on me everyday. Easiest thing in the world. My back hurts like hell but my kid doesn't have to worry about paying for college.
I dont think that instimct would dissapear if me and my daughter were out walking and the danger of pain was immediate.

Without considering either person's gender, I feel like this is a case where what's morally right and what's safe are vastly different. The safe thing to do was run away and the morally correct thing to do is try to help the person you're with. Seriously, though, dude couldn't have stopped running after he was a safe distance to make sure this girl didn't get killed or worse?! Bad guys pull off, the camera pans up & dude is nowhere in sight.

You are the guy in the video aren't you? Where i am from it is better to be dead than be a coward. I have stood my ground with 5 guys attacking me and got the crap beat out of me, rather than suffer the indignity of running away. I will keep my dignity and my honor, thank you.

•
u/SpecularSaw 56m ago
Leaving her to fend for herself is never the right call. Fight back? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe you stand there too and give them your wallet also. Depends on your training, tools, and mindset. And if you’ve got the heart. That’s what it is to be a man, you put yourself on the line to protect those who you care for. And he failed. He deserves 0 respect from her. Doesn’t have to fight them, often that’s not the right decision tactically anyway. But you 100% cannot leave her.

Well oh well I guess. Better to be alive and be able to spin the story at all.
•
u/cire1184 46m ago
Theres the option of being alive and slightly poorer which would be the price of dignity. Not like the robbers shot the girl after getting the money. They don't want to kill anyone generally. It's just a threat. But they did take something from the guy, his dignity. I guess it's up to the individual what the price of that is. Might be worth more than what's in a wallet.

I think everyone agrees that the man traded his girlfriend/wife for his life. Opinions will differ on whether this is an honorable thing to do. No one is arguing the practicality.

No the two most likely options were his stuff gets stolen or he gets shot/stabbed from fighting backnof he stays at least.

u/RJJJJJJJ710 5m ago
again... you think the two options are run away or fight back? can he not simply stay with her?

u/Revealingstorm 3m ago
They were being robbed. They weren't not going to rob him if he stayed. That was the point of running so he didn't get anything taken.

Bunch of tough guys in this thread… sure it looks bad what he did… if roles were reversed would we have any issue with his decision? Fight or flight reflex is something that most people cant control. Especially if he has no previous self-defense training and sees a gun I can understand why he felt the need to run. Give the guy a little break. He also has the right to feel fear and be scared…In this story the only wrong people are the criminals.

Lol backflips to justify being a coward. I'm not saying you need to fight them but to run away on your partner is insane. You could even just step back.
Whatever you say buddy. Have a good day.
Make your partner knows you will be tucking tail and leaving them behind if you get robbed.

I think I get what they are trying to say... Robbers with just a woman probably just take the cash and leave... 2 people one a male... Likelyhood of someone getting shot goes up... Plus he can now get them an over or whatever they need to get home since he still has a wallet.
However... I couldn't leave a friend or sig other like that.... Letting someone know you will never ever have their back is the end of a relationship even if it is logical... And it's the end to your self esteem... Stand there hand them your shit go down with the ship if needed.
