Does Julio have the freedom to take this approach because of his gender? Fear of sexual violence is the undercurrent of many such confrontations for women. It’s a shame when history trumps altruism.

This only works if the person has a lot of money… What if he was just as poor as the mugger and had a family to feed? While the story is touching, it has a tiny effect on society and isn’t repeatable.

I agree with you. However, I doubt that I would be able to find another ‘Julio’ here in my place. At least from what I have been observing, people here love ‘mind your own business’. I am inspired by this story and do hope that I have the courage to do the same thing if I were to be in this situation.

Hi Steven – Thanks for your comment – We’re hoping you’ll share a story from your blog, “Real Taijiquan”:

“..A man, lanky and tall, steely jaws and booming voice, cleared the crowd. Dressed shabby and acting angry, he plowed a wake, like a speedboat, as he walked. He turned at the sidewalk, toward me and my boy…”

What happens next?

!!! I have a strong suspicion that moments like this cannot be planned – and you could find this idea going horribly wrong!

If you want to test out your powers of empathy and communication, why not try volunteering to work with troubled young people – you’ll soon find out if you’ve got what it takes!

That’s seriously amazing…. I’m gonna go try and get mugged just to see if I can do this, too. (and no, I’m not trying to be sarcastic).
