A friend of mine is working in Belgium and recently got beat up and robbed. I'll write down what he told me happened and maybe you guys can figure out what he did wrong so that something awful like this doesn't happen to someone else.
He was walking alone at 1:30 in the morning when a car pulled up where he was walking and 5 guys got out. They started talking to him, he thought they were asking what time it was and being that he didn't know Flemmish he appologized and said he couldn't help them. As he was appologizing for not speaking Flemmish well they were surrounding him. One of them yelled something to the effect of "If you don't know Flemmish you shouldn't be in Belgium". The one of the goons hit him on the head and knocked him out.
He woke up to getting kicked on the ground and made a run for it but they caught him and booted him in the face and knocked him back out.
He woke up without his wallet and some bruises but at least he was alive. When he went to the police station it was closed, so he had to call the cops to get him. He didn't get a good look at the guys or the tag number form the car.
Just from knowing my friend I know that he is in condition white about 99% of the time and he is a very trusting person. When I heard the way that the story played itself out I was not surprised at all.
So what'd he do wrong, and how could he have fared this storm a little better?
I just wish I had been there with a little backup in 230 gr .451" doses
