I was mugged in Los Angeles and the thief wanted my purse and I refuse to let go. He pleaded with me and then showed me a gun. Ok, I let go and I screamed and hollered my husband is going to kill you.
I turned around and they had a man standing behind me. He gave me a look and to this day I have not forgotten that I was lucky to be alive.
Had I resisted, used karate or pepper spray,I would be dead. Dont' be stupid, give them what they want but never go with them.
I later talked to the cops and they told me the only reason I am alive today is because the gang members thought I was a nun. You know i was dressed with my head covering as in my picture. One of the few times being dressed as a Muslim saved my life.
