There's a game that I used to play with my playmates when I was about primary school age. It was "Robbers and Cops'.
The group of us was divided into three categories, namely the victims, the robbers and the cops.
The game would start off with someone getting robbed. The usual dialogue that they had to engage together with some acting out of the scene was as follows:
Robber/s : Stop! Don't move! I have got a gun.
Victim/s(usually girls) : (Screaming and struggling as the non pistol wielding one tries to take away any priced possession)
Victim/s : No, I don't have any money! or Please don't take my money!
Robber/s : Your money or your life?!
Victim/s : DON'T KILL ME! Take all you want.....
At this point, let us put ourselves in the shoes of the robbers who are making away with our money or any priced possession after they had inflicted some form of injury on their victims.
How would they have felt if their victims opted for the following actions? (It is regrettable that these robbers never think like this)
The victims chase after them and take vengeance? Putting up a good fight , kicking and clubbing them real hard.
Yes, this is the most natural thing to do but only if you have the muscle to do it. Or when you are properly armed.
Are you going to give an 'eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' kind of vengeance?
Or just let the law take over the matters? Report the matter and hope they get caught and put in jail soon.
Or are you going to give double or triple or many more times worse than what they had done to you? Like causing fatality, just like what a woman in Ampang Jaya did. Ramming her car into the robber's bike and ripping his private parts apart. Oooh...that was horrible !
Perhaps, the next time when you are being robbed, you can even challenge the robber by asking "Do you want MY money or YOUR life?" Of course, only when you have the upper hand!
It would be better than causing grievous injury or death.
The other day, as reported by the Star papers, a lady rammed her car into the robbers as they were trying to escape on their motorbike after taking away her handbag from her car. Consequently, one of them was killed instantly and the other badly injured.
I have great sympathy for both parties, the robbers and the victim.
Needless to say, it was the most horrendous mistake by both. God knows what they are going to go through in the next half of their pitiful lives!
