Bryan W says:

Obviously, I would grab the barrel of the rifle, holding it down while I mule kick the other guy in the throat. While he’s gasping for air, disarm the rifle with the 5 D’s and use it to shoot the guy with the handgun. Then let the other guy go, so he can tell the other robbers around to find a new neighborhood…it’s not worth it. Pretty basic actually.

mcjon77 says:

The way they stalked him and got on 180 angles from each other was like some kind of Jurassic Park Velociraptor style attack. Crazy. Criminals are evolving.

i am iLong says:

WTH! Just comply dude. And PRAY!

nuna ubusiness says:

I would have shit my pants!

Joe Vega says:

John looks like you laid off the churasco🤣. You look in shape.

Nicholas Kong says:

I probably would have been shot or shot at. Scratch that rifle to the ground I would have attempted to take the rifle on the way down and shot his buddy low to high then maybe been shot if rifle guy had a second gun good bet he would have run. Real hard to say. I don’t do good on my knees.. I see a counter ambush when the rifle guy lowers his barrel and only had one hand on it.

Harrison Boone says:

Is a UZI type sub-machine gun a "rifle" John? Not important, I know. I think that guy was targeted for a very specific reason, he had something more valuable than a phone and wallet. Faced with two gunmen I would be compliant,.unless I was some sort of movie hero, but I would not get down on the ground.

Allen Smith says:

Haven't watched you ASP videos in a while, just wanted to congratulate you on the weight loss. You look great and amazing content.

ramms mutter69 says:

Damn Amish at it again.

RH Wag says:

Don't go out for a bag of groceries alone, on foot, after dark, with no weapon.

Isaac Abdullayev says:

Stop drop and roll

Mota Smoka says:

Don't let them catch you slippin

Robert Morrow says:

Watch both John Wick movies and then go back to same corner and wait for them to come back so I can get my stuff back

NFGBoostFiLmZ says:

Easy . I wouldve looked at my watch….and started the timer. Grab mt stuff and throw it at one of the robbers to impair his vision for a second as i grabbed the hoodie of the second robber and covered his face whil i deflected his weapon at the 1st robber bend his elbow to make the trigger finger go off and shoot the intial robber then snap the last robbers neck. And stopped the timer.easy cake

Blamo Kapow says:

I avoid being out at night like that. And he should have been more aware.

Pat HEH says:

Maybe he thought the guns were fake.. I wouldn't have waited to find out they weren't.

Sinatra_Says says:

I live in Cleveland, i don't walk anywhere at night, if i for some reason can't drive where ever i go, i dont go. I always carry my tool on me. Locked doors and stay away from most areas. If i even get a weird vibe from a place i move on. 15 min drive for ciggs is better then being in a bad place.

Andre Wilson says:

I would just comply, because its not worth fighting with two armed persons with guns pointed at you.

The Plebeian Perspective says:

Drop all the stuff toward the guy with the pistol, feign submission until guy with rifle is close. If guy with pistol fills his hands, close the distance with the guy with the rifle, dominate rifle, deflect rifle toward guy with pistol, try and discharge rifle at pistol guy. Pray you hit him or scare him off. Complete the D's on the rifle guy. If the stars don't line up, fully comply before resisting.

O C says:

What would I have done? Comply. Especially seeing as though I'm in a country with no legal gun ownership. But regardless, I'd have complied if I had a gun.

TopSecret322 says:

I grew up in Ohio most of my life; I've been to Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus…etc. I always thought it was a horrible place but you have evidence of the entire world being the same. I guess there is nefarious people everywhere.

Bill says:

Having ur own weapon doesn't help when they have the drop on You. It doesn't help either when there are multiple attackers.

End the manufacturing and selling of commercial guns and accessories. Limit the manufacturing of police and military weapons to direct purchase orders. And transferring of every weapon between departments recorded, trackable and verified every month.

THE ability to track criminal weapons would be far easier, if they weren't so easily confused and mixed in with legal firearms.

MAX3D2 says:

I would have to say I would have complied completely! In that situation, the chances of being killed are too high. Even if you had a gun and had it up and ready you are still outgunned!

Eric Pro says:

This video is very similar to what happened to me when I was walking down the street, I had one "teen" ask me what time it was, I immediately felt Wierd, I'm white but from the neighborhood, so I kept walking, next thing I knew another "teen" that was walking up to me pretty fast with a hoodie over his face and pulled out one of get biggest revolvers I'd ever seen, basically a two on one, it's hilarious everyone thinks they would do something, your not gonna do shit besides comply, now if I am in the mind state I am now in my 30s with my CHL.. we're gonna shoot it out and see who walks away.. sorry not gonna happen to me twice in my life

Eyob Solomon says:

Just give up everything I have

Gru says:

Give them my stuff , come back the other day and kill them both

Denis Borgs says:

Matias Silva says:

Time for some Steven Segal shit!
