I've never had any of those three happen to me, I have however had to protect myself and my girlfriend by opening fire on 4 armed black gangbangers that ambushed us.

Thankfully this isn't 20 years ago, I would be so afraid. Resorting to physical force to get compliance usually means your idea was an ignorant one. If it was such a great idea you wouldn't need the force to get compliance everyone would gladly be on board.
