      Londonist has been mugged and it’s not funny. But the only way to rise above the (actual or perceived) surge in violent crime in the city is to see things in a different, lighter way. To laugh. Living with fear and anger is not the way forward.
      On this occasion no-one was injured, and the laugh is entirely on the muggers.
      Londonist would never garner a cheap laugh out of a crime involving injury or worse.
