They have tried to rob me a total of 6 times now, and telling the authorities won't help, because there is very little visible policing, and if you are mugged, only some people will come to your rescue or offer you help, as they don't want to get involved. And chances are they aren't homeless, they come to town with the express purpose of mugging people, they are probably part of a gang on of muggers that operate within various areas of CT. Having at least on male friend with you is a good idea, and taking out some form of weapon the minute they threaten to use one is a good idea. I've personally taken out my own knife twice, the other times some other guys helped me out, just keep ur eyes open and scan, if a guy looks like he's paralleling you, check out to see if someone is behind you.

Did you tell any of the local law about them, so hopefully they can pick them up before they prey on someone else? If they're homeless, I'm sure the cops know their faces by now.

I hear machete's are cheap in those parts! In all seriousness they are cheap in those parts but you'd be better off with a gun, self defense. that’s a kitchen knife…. now this is a knife!
