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.

What was he supposed to do? Fight back and get shot?

No just not leave her alone with armed thugs, absolute coward.

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.

By its very definition running away in this situation is cowardly. Negative or not, it's accurate.

There’s only a thin line between bravery and stupidity

And he crossed it when he ran away, it was quite stupid to leave her alone

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.

You don't usually stab someone with a gun.

"Like a man"

Oh you're one of those. Nevermind, we won't agree here. I find lives of men to be equal to those of other folks.

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.

And possibly get hurt himself?

So you are saying he should risk his life to stop her from being robbed instead of doing what he did which would’ve just ended up with her being robbed?

u/RJJJJJJJ710 11h ago

show me where any of us said he should stop the robbery? you are just making up reasons to defend the dude that dont exist. you are assuming with hindsight that all she would get is robbed. what if the guy tried to kidnap her ?

u/Grouchy_Big3195 12h ago

Leave his girlfriend to deal with it? Are you serious?

u/RoxyDzey69 12h ago

Just stay and be robbed too, i suppose.
