I got jumped

[chequita guevara]

Man, yesterday was such a ****ing high, and then on my way home with Bunnygrrl's bike, some ******* decided he'd try and take it. I wasn't paying a lot of attention. It's the suburbs, what happens here?

"You got any money, dog?" BAM! into my left cheek. "Luckily" I was moving at an awkward angle for him to hit me or I shouldn't be here to tell you all about it. It took a moment for my brain to register what had happened, as I kept peddling, and then noticing that he was still running next to me. So I sped up. I mighta stopped to fight if it was just him, but he had four or five of his boys with him, one of who'm had circled around behind me.

I got a shiner. I have to go into my first day of work looking like a freak and someone who gets into fights. This is really what upsets me most. I have once chance to make a first impression. Maybe I can get an eye patch.

It occured at a place I have to go past all the time. The police didn't find the guy, and even if they did, it's a 2nd class misdemeanor, i.e., no jail time. So now I'm paranoid (rightfully so) that it could happen again.

So now I'm all out of sorts. I'm screaming racial epithets in my head. I wanna grab my baseball bat or my sword and go back and **** these guys up. I wanna go buy a gun. How am I supposed to go out at night past the place where these guys hang out?

At least it wasn't worse.

Sorry to here that Chegitz... it's a nasty world we live in

[TheStinger]

Robbery with violence is a misdemenour!, you can get years in jail for that over here

[Gangerolf]

[Urban Ranger]

Just be more paranoid and keep your eyes out next time.

just tell them what happened. that should work out fine. unless they're complete a--holes that is

[Stuie]

That sucks, Che. Glad to hear you got the job, though.

[SlowwHand]

Always something.

Though "screaming racial epithets in my head" is odd.

[David Floyd]

Buy a handgun. If it's more than one person coming after you, and you feel threatened, I'm pretty sure you can use it on them, at least in Texas

[Sava]

Doesn't Texas have one of the highest crime rates in America? Just curious.

[David Floyd]

Probably, but you gotta remember, that's kinda artificial given the presence of drug laws and the like. Those aren't real crimes, in the sense that mugging someone is a real crime.

[MRT144]

what about crimes of passion in texas? like making the best BBQ ever?

[Sava]

Poverty and the criminalization of addiction (drug laws) are the two biggest contributors to crime in America. And politicians (Rep and Dem) don't really care about fixing either of them.
