I think we all have a different understanding and from the way we were taught.
An example was given about being robbed at gunpoint and never pulling it out. Trying to understand that one. Don't want to shoot someone who threatened to kill you over your wallet?
Im gonna stick to not engaging but I'll clarify this situation.
He was at a drive through ATM. It was Halloween 2 years ago, he saw a guy in a mask walking up, first he thought it was a Halloween prank, guy pulled out a gun.. my brother could have drove off sure.. or pull out his gun, then he saw a second guy coming on the other side with a gun.
He gave his wallet, he had $80.
He called 911. Texted a friend who is on local pd. Found a local cop as well. The guys were caught 15 min later, each had $40 on them.. I kinda wish they at least got to spend it before going to the can.
