  you really dont need the visibility of a weapon as proof of intent to harm these days....i do hope you are not trivializing this young boys situation al conistion!!! What would you have done then? how awful that you hear this daily!

  Closer to London, I’ve probably been threatened with a “knife” about 4 times when they’ve never actually produced it! I feel like saying well show me then! If they’ve not got one then you go for it! I’m sure a lot of the time they say they have one they don’t – they just know that half of the people out there will just hand over their belongings without a fight, just because of this threat. If you had a knife, why would you not produce it unless you’re in the middle of somewhere crowded? Most people don’t get mugged in the middle of a crowded place!"
