Interesting.

First of all the only thing that matters is that you got out of it safe. You mention this is the first time you experienced violence and the general tone of your OP reflects that. Instead of thinking about revenge or buying guns and all that, you should understand that you could now be in a condition where this thread would have never happened, you could have been damaged badly. Consider yourself lucky.

A smart robber will go for pre-emptive strike and in that situation guns, knives, pepper sprays, self-defense won't help. In that situation, the victim cannot know whether the attacker is armed or not but if the attacker has a knife and decides to use it because the victim tries something, the victim loses. The knife is known as the "equalizer" and for good reason. Outside of guns, the knife is pretty much the deadliest weapon there is, it's small and easy to hide, it's fast to use, human body is a big target, very reliable (don't break easily). Go visit any martial arts instructor and they all will say the same thing, if you are unarmed do not try to take on a person holding a knife. Also against a person who has been trained to use knife, chance of survival for the unarmed is close to zero. That's knife for you. So in a pre-emptive situation, the victim simply does not have time to start attacking without betting his/her own life.

The best thing is to co-operate and let the robber have your stuff.

If by some chance you would get a few second opening then yes, guns, knives, pepper sprays could turn the tide but remember, when you pull out a weapon against a robber, the robber gets scared and instead of running away could very well attack on self-defense instinct. In that situation you are holding your life in your hand, there cannot be any hesitation not even the slightest, you must be prepared to kill the attacker. Now, how mentally prepared would a 22 year old person who has encountered violence once in his/her lifetime be? Can such a person truly know what a real animal like rage and aggression is? Or would he/she freeze?

 

It's never a bad idea to learn self-defense and carry some extra protection with you. Situations are different and maybe you have enough time to do something,  pepper spray could change robbery to a robbery attempt or kick to the balls could prevent rape. Just think it through and be real about it. Telling you want to cut off the robbers dick and put it in his ass is very naive and dangerous way of thinking. I'm not trying to be asshole, I want you to understand that, I want you to understand the world is a dangerous place.



I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.
