good for him. He's a migrant from Egypt (has a degree but now runs a kebab shop) and says he's seen much worse violence. An intelligent and courageous man
“The robber was very confused by my behaviour. He wanted to scare me but I wasn’t scared, so I took away his power,” said Ahmed.
Ahmed said he had witnessed years of violence in Egypt before emigrating to New Zealand, and the quiet predictability of his life in Christchurch influenced his low-key reaction.
“My heart was beating quickly, I was scared, but I wasn’t going to show him that. That is why my nature is cool. I have been 20 years here and never seen any fighting. In Egypt it happens every day but in New Zealand I am calm because it is a safe country.”
