So I just beat the crap out of my first mugger

[Boris Godunov]

Um, I'm with NYE on the knife issue. There's a blatant contradiction there. Why did you say that bit that about not taking the knife with you when you had just told us you had it?

[self biased]

It's probably just as normal for a college kid to be carrying a knife as it is for a homeless person to be doing so. Maybe even mroe common, since they actually have money.

Fabulous gets my benefit of the doubt - at the end of the day he was the one attacked, he didnt initiate the encounter, he just wanted to go home after a good night out.

I would tend to say that the person who did the stabbing is the one who innitiated the real attack.

Well hopefully the DA or the lawyer for the homeless guy doesn't play Civ, and so won't run into this thread.

The ones I know usually have box cutters or utility knives, but that's becaause they're architecture students.

You stabbed him? Should have gone for the eyesocket!

Good job Emp getting that mess sorted out

But you took a huge risk. The rule is you generally give muggers anything they want. Especially at night. Daytime muggers are usually pretty harmless because you can't do much in broad daylight, but at night its a completely different animal. Some of these guys will mug in packs with one guy doing the actual mugging and others standing by to surround the victim if things get ugly (like in your case). And if things were to turn against you, you never know what alley you're going to get dragged into or how many guys wanting to skull **** you will be there waiting. A jackets just not worth it.

By the way, what part of the city are you living in? Since you're a suburban college student I'll assume somewhere along the green line. If so you're lucky that you're not going to find much gang activity in those areas.

Well it is generally advisable not to pick such a fight but you did well this time lad, but it does strike me as a lot of luck with the situation - it alarms me that others can put themselves in such a dangerous situation. for this time on giving the worthless piece of scum his just desserts but in future (if there is an 'in future', hopefully not) you don't know what he could potentially be backed up with!

So this guy has a rap sheet a mile long. Drug possession and distribution, assault (not just on me), and he's also a registered sex offender. Now I'm pissed that he WASN'T in jail.

I'm pretty much in the clear. I told them the story. It's self defense. I also have no record whatsoever. They also don't often get petty muggers, mostly because people give them what they want.

Personally, I can't believe I did that. What the **** was I thinking? I could've been killed.

But I still have my jacket .

for me like the husband im trying to figure out why he said he gave knife to police and then said he waited police to find it and then have 15 minutes from time police got to him and took statment and the post on poly??

Chalk it up to drunk and stressed.

[Ecthy]

Still have your jacket

Sex offender... Luckily he didnt win the fight...
