I got jumped

[NeOmega]

Get a gun.

Let the racist thoughts run their course, but dont swing to far to the left with your thinking and think somehow it is your fault, or that black people are actually superior. It is quite common for crime victims to begin to empathize and then admire their attackers during the healing process.... don't let this happen to you.

Next time you read about someone killing an invader or someone trying to steal their car, rejoice at the demise of another. Believe me, people who hurt and steal are nothing like you. They are the element that we can all do without.

Che, I'd say forget the gun. If you're not commited to using a weapon (and most people aren't even willing to use their fist) its a liability. Take another route to work.

If you'd stop trolling long enough to read the begining of the thread you'd find that Che did call the cops but it didn't do him a bit of good.

Che: I'm sorry it hear about your miss fortune man. I'm glade to see you're all right. BTW just tell your boss the truth; that you got mugged and I'm sure they will understand and won't judge you. I hope the cops catch that ***** so he won't be able to rob anyone else.

Che, I agree with Spencer. Forget the gun. You also might want to discuss the issue of routes with the police. They may have a good idea where the muggers roam and where they do not.

What we really need in the US is better law enforcement. We need cops patrolling high crime areas. The stories we here that whole areas of certain cities are virtually run by drug dealing youth street gangs is unacceptable.

[Joseph]

Che; at lease you are OK. Ned had the best idea. Go with it. And yes if you are not familiar with a fire arms don't get one, because you could get hurt.
Another idea if you can, get to know a few of these guys at lease to say hi and bye and maybe they will tell their buddy to leave you alone.

Best advice on the whole thread

[DinoDoc]

Can't prove he was attempting to rob me because he didn't say, "Give me your money or try and grab my bike."

Just say he did. Who do you think would have more credibility: you or the punk?

[faded glory]

heh....I got jumped awhile back in HS. Fought back like mad, still got my ass kicked. Learned a valuable lesson, never be somewhere your not supposed to be and doing something your not supposed to be doing (smoking weed and cutting class)

[Zylka]

Get a handgun and pull an American History X the next time. I've heard the teeth sound rushes endorphines

[faded glory]

The Thing is, punks and thugs feel stronger in groups and numbers. I know how it feels myself, thats what gives most of these creeps the courage to pull **** like this. Whats the word im lookin for? Oh ya "Frontin". Showin off for bull**** glory in front of your friends.


Sad....sad....sad.. Che You should take a baseball bat and beat them to bloody pulps.

[Lung]

Faded Glory's back!!! Welcome back, dude!

Sorry to hear you cop it, Che, but what is it they say over there? "A conservative is a liberal who got mugged 10 minutes ago"? Still keeping the faith?

Nah, i feel for you, mate. Years ago i awoke drunk to find people kicking me in the head. I was quite surprised and disappointed to find that the culprits were white guys like me. Just goes to show that for every crim who was a victim in their youth, there's another who's just an arsehole!

Still, it put a few things in perspective, though. Hey, we survived, didn't we?

[The Mad Monk]

Sorry to hear about this, Che.

I felt like grabbing my sword just reading about it.

you might wanna think about the consequence before you do that. Long long time ago, when I was in Jr. High, I started a fight with a couple of people and got jumped. I wasnt satisfied with the fight so invited them to meet me at the park where I brought a baseball bat. I got suspended for quite awhile.

I'd imagine as an adult you would be facing a steeper punishment.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Law students can regurgitate whatever text-book law they want, but it a question of what constitutes self defense.

Um.. I have no problem with what OW said. IF you can say you were in fear for your life, you can say it was self-defense. Since when did you say that? You just said you'd get your gun and shoot whoever you saw. With that story (ie, without any lying), you'd be guilty of murder.

I believe the civil case that establishes that you can only use deadly force if you are threatened with deadly force comes from Mississippi. South enough for ya?

[Mr. President]

You have a sword, Che?

Seriously, sorry about that. It's never happened to me but I sympathize.
