What would you do if someone tried to rob you with a knife?

Lets say someone who is only as strong as the average man, came at you with a knife while you are at an outdoor ATM machine. He threatens to kill you if you don't give him a lot of money. Lets say he will follow through with his threat but will leave you alone if you do what he says. What would you do?

edit: assuming you are unarmed

Jakes on him, the M in ATM stands for “machine,” so it makes this whole thing impossible

I would call for a social worker to come and de-escalate the situation.

Probably the same thing I did when I got robbed with a gun to my head. Comply and hope they don’t decide to kill me srs.

Everyone thinks they’re a tough guy until they’re put into a life or death situation. A deadly weapon aimed at you is the ultimate equalizer. It doesn’t matter how proficient you are at marital arts or disarmament, 99.999% of people caught off guard are not going to be able to use those skills when the time comes. Either because they’re not in a position to do so or because they freeze up.

Compliance is the best tool.

The 2nd best tool is to carry, but that also comes with risks.

For real though, I’m probably being the decoy while my wife stops the threat with lead

Depends on how I'm feeling and who's with me.

Sometimes I'm feeling so tired and run down and depressed that I'd just say f*cking kill me dude I don't even care.

Other times, if I'm up and my wife is with me I'd start by thr e fastest route to safety which is calmly giving him what he wants (jocko and rogan advice)

My brother and I used to get a felt tipped marker as a "knife" and we'd fight for it, whoever gets marked suffers that injury.

Sh*t gets crazy.

Why would I be unarmed? I'm unloading an entire magazine of 9mm hallow points due to the fear for my life and adrenaline. Then I'll call up my liability insurance. (Ded fkn Srs)

Probably hand him the money then shoot him in the back when he goes to run away. Then take my money back and also run his pockets and go about my day.
