I finally got to experience the finer points of Jersey City experience.  Boy, do I suck at being a victim.  I've been staring at a lowlife for a couple of minutes, and yet I can't recall anything but the most basic things about him, and I'm unsure even about that.  Ugh.  :ultra:

Well, it can be difficult.  All black people do look alike. :hug:
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Well, that's about the only positive of being in Cumberland County. The chances of being mugged down here are slim, even here in downtown Millville.
Experience bij!

Seriously, I think that is a large part of it.  I'm not too proud to admit it, but I certainly would've noticed more features on a white guy.

Ouch. Sorry, man. Are you alright, other than the theft?

Despite my best efforts, yes.  I only got a lightly bruised jaw and a heavily bruised ego.  The guy didn't have a weapon and wasn't direct with his demands, so it took me a while to realize that I should stop arguing and withdraw money from the ATM.  All that in daylight, with people walking by.

That sucks. Something like that would never happen out here, I hope you consider leaving that hellhole.

Yikes, hope they catch the guy. :console:

There should be a camera at an ATM though, no?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

 :hug:  I got mugged a few months ago here in Phila. by a couple of young teenagers, but it's hard to argue with a gun.   :(  On the bright side, my wallet was mailed back to me by a good Samaritan a couple of weeks ago, sans cash.   :)

I hope so too.  I felt disgusted with myself at my poor observational skills.  They actually handcuffed some guy nearby who fit my description, and the worst thing is that it may well have been him.  However, I just couldn't be sure, despite police encouraging me to be sure :unsure:.

I've heard the cops talking about the ATM camera as well, so hopefully that would do it.  The thug didn't seem to be particularly good at what he was doing, so hopefully he let his face slip on the camera, and that the camera is actually working.

:console: That's much worse.  At least I couldn't be accidentally punched to death by a jumpy robber.

Wow DG, that stinks. Glad you're physically ok. But the mental stress will take some time to deal with.
