He was robbed by two men in front of a crowd of bystanders.<\/p>\n<p>Young, who hosts &#8220;No Things Considered&#8221; for the D.C. Examiner, in addition to his comedy tours, focuses on political and legal humor. But he is serious about self-defense in the aftermath of his encounter last week.<\/p>\n<p>He was robbed last Wednesday in the capitol&#8217;s Wharf district by two men, one who grabbed him and the other who threatened to shoot him. The robbers made off with his cellphone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When they came up behind me, of course, I fought it,&#8221; Young told <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/issues\/washington-examiner-writer-pursue-dc-gun-carry-permit-wake-armed-robbery\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"d-c-writer-rallies-behind-concealed-carry-following-robbery-gunpoint\" title=\"D.C.

You&#8217;re powerless,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Honestly, I&#8217;ve never felt like that before. All of the \u2018be a hero&#8217; stuff that you dream would happen where you could do roundhouse kicks and things goes right out the window as soon as you&#8217;re threatened with a weapon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Young described the street as well-lit and that everyone could tell what was happening. He said afterward most of the bystanders just walked off.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Regular <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OffScriptOn9?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"d-c-writer-rallies-behind-concealed-carry-following-robbery-gunpoint\" title=\"D.C.
