When it comes to muggers, you never know how or why they are in the state they are in, and many of people on the street, desperate, are that way due to mental health issues.

Meaning saying the wrong thing can, and will, enrage the person, and may get you stabbed, shot, or beaten.

Better to always not befriend the mugger, give the person your money, and call the police when you are safe.
