Thise tight area ATMs are NOT a good bet.

Jeff what you said is great and it was a very good vid. Having a plan is most important. FIRST defence is the hairs on the back of your neck. NEVER ignore them. JUST don't put yourself in that position. Someone follows me closely I leave or stand still make him make the move. Money is cheap next to your well being. When he said put in your code , tell him your code while walking away, leave your card in the machine if it gets you away, Tell him 2222 take what you want Im out of here. At the least you will get him off balance enough to make a mistake at best you get away. Don't think you must get your lb of flesh right away. Something else to remember is even if you are right in using self defence in ANY measure you will face the legal system, Large lawer fees and possable leagle action from realitives. If you are threatened with VIOLANCE I agree you should do what ever it takes but always look for the best outcome. If I found myself in that position and 200.00 got me out of it well it is a no brainer. You saying I wont do it is the second mistake in the scenario. What would he have done if you said OK just don't hurt me . then his focous is on the money. Yours on survival?
