I've been robbed at gunpoint a total of four times. Twice at work, twice walking home. This is all MY OPINION.

It feels surreal. It feels like a movie. You've seen it on TV. Maybe a friend has told you about getting mugged at gunpoint. They talk about it and you say what you think you would have done. But at the end of the day it wasn't you with a gun pointed at you. A blink and your on the floor. One wrong move and its over. You can't see it coming. A knife, or bat you have a chance. A duck or dodge. Run fast enough or long enough they may not get you. A gun pointed at your chest where do you go. Maybe its fully loaded. Maybe its empty.

Or maybe you were like me. Standing there dumbfounded thinking "are you fucking serious?" How could this possible happen to me. Holy shit I'm dizzy. My fucking head hurts. "Yes I'm serious ninja give me your fucking shit!" Jesus Christ I wasn't thinking it. I said it out loud. My thoughts weren't my own.

I emptied my pockets turned them inside out. My wallet, mp3 player, and flip phone gone.

By the time I've gotten robbed at my job (gamestop) it wasn't even fear. It was inconvenience. He walks in and I give him a headnod. I turn back around and continue to work on shipment. Wait was the guy wearing sunglasses and a hood indoors? Its fucking hot outside. I turn back around and he pulls out the gun. I dont even hear what he says I'm already opening the register and grabbing a bag at the same time. We have customers in the store and he proceeds to tell them to get on the ground. Even points a gun at a little girl. A toddler that doesn't understand what the hell is going on. The lady grabs her child and puts her on the floor.

"HURRY THE FUCK UP" Why is this guy screaming I'm moving super fast? I already got two of the three registers empty. I look up and my coworker is frozen. Shaking in place with a bag in his hand. In his moment he could not do shit. He was scared shitless. He saw his life leaving his body. I snatched the bag out of his hand popped it open and put the money in the bag.

It doesn't really matter who is holding the gun at the end of the day. Whether its a thief, your best friend, a family member or a cop. Especially a cop. They are screaming commands while they point the gun. And you are scared. I truly hope it never happens to you, because one wrong move to the person holding it and your life may end right there. Because in that moment it feels surreal. It feels like a movie.

Ask me anything. Or judge me whatever.
