    People are so unused to violent confrontation in the United States that just suggesting violence indirectly can be enough to scare them into giving you something.

    Like a bag of trail mix?

      Yeah, I’ve often wondered whether this guy “successfully” “robbed” me. Seems like a lot of semantics though, genuinely I just thought having some food would probably chill him out and make him leave, but you might ask, is this actually different from being robbed?

      I guess the difference is when he was gone I felt good about myself.
