So I just got jumped last night...

[Clive Howlitzer]

When my friend moved to LA, he got mugged once. They smashed him in the back of the head and he woke up in a pool of his own blood. It was fucked up.

I'm a big guy. I know martial arts.
So when I moved to a relatively crime-ridden city for further studies, I did what any guy in my position would.
I wore crappy clothes, and learned to haul ass.
I have had to haul as repeatedly these last few months.

 

[Kathinka]

my friend was once mugged by five gypsies. they then proceeded to discuss disposal of her corpse when they would be done, and the raping order they would stick to before. what they didn' know was that she understads their language. what they appearently forgot about is that every citizen without criminial history here can carry concealed weapons for self defense^^
2 were incpatitated and arrested on the spot a few minutes later, the other three were found and aprehended half an hour later by a patrol car. so, she got out pretty ok, but she's still nervous as hell about going out at night.

Unrelated: Using infrared monitoring me and some buddies found small time-bombs hidden in a passerby's shoes. There wasn't much time so we quickly removed his shoes. We tried to stand him up next to the edge of the bridge we found him on, but he freaked out and jumped off. Luckily enough a train was running under the bridge at the time and he didn't fall the full height of the bridge.
I hope he got home ok.

Hell man, that sucks. Worst I've ever had is some a**hole who said stuff like "Let's fight, pussy! I wanna see some blood!" I was crapping myself, but I bluffed and rolled my eyes as though he were boring me, and it worked. He buggered off. I can't think of any other time I felt like I was physically in danger.

Thanks for the humorous support.

No problem Batman!
But seriously... Don't be down about it! A superhero like you doesn't even need shoes!

I honestly don't know whether or not you're being humorous or a dick. Seems to be more on the dick side..

There have been a lot more arguments concerning the validity of your story, and this comment displayed my point most accurately. You seem to be getting incredibly defensive, very quickly. This can only lend itself to further suspicious examination of the details behind what you've said as it does seem a bit strange.
I can understand defensive about it, it likely is a rather sensitive thing, but you must've expected some disbelief when posting it on a forum? And you take offense, as the above quote displays, to off-hand jokes about it.

I don't wanna seem like i'm picking holes, because i do want your story to be true, and i like to believe that is it (as i said in an earlier post), but this instant defensive responses can't be helping other people believe you.
I still think it's fucking badass though

I thought I saw someone ask this earlier, and I maybe have missed the response but....why are you on the escapist instead of a hospital to check for injuries? Or sleeping? I got in a fight with 2 girls before, and I just completely crashed from exhaustion after the adrenaline kick died at the emergency room.
Secondly, have you reported this to the police?

Yeah....not going to get that answer, am i?

Oh, plus, this.

Wow, seems like having a train conveniently break your fall when you jump of a bridge is more common that you think!
Also, was the infrared monitoring being used in the line of work, or did you get one from somewhere? And it would have been nice if the guy hadn't jumped so you could ask him why the heck he had miniature bombs in his shoes . It's a shame that some questions just go on unanswered...

I hope the guy ended up alright as well, although I have to ask: Did you see him land on the train? I hope I'm not a bad person for this, but it would have looked pretty darn awesome. Looks like we have two Batmen in this thread...

Behold a lovely wall of text! i think i got off topic at some point but uh yeah enjoy at will.

well i was told a story from some guy at school saying once he was catching the train home and some guy stabbed him with a syringe witch apparently had heroin (unsure as the details were sketchy and he told me sometime ago) but whatever drug substance that was in there his body couldn't handle it and had a seizure woke up in hospital not long after, because of that he was mentally addicted to heroin(or whatever drug it was) he used to be able to play guitar really well and was just starting to made his own songs now about 3years he picks up a guitar and has no idea how to play it, no memory of how to play he also lots allot of his closest friends to the addition

all because some junkie wanted his cash, after he gave the junkie $5 witch was all he had in his wallet the junkie still went ahead and stabbed him and still took his empty wallet

:|

me personally ive never had anyone try to mug/rob me ect. im 16now though so im sure at some point some lowlife will try it on me, fortunately our school has a martial arts therapy program and thats what got me into MMA and Kickboxing now i train 4-5times a week (or try my best to)

Still even with a good 9months worth of training behind me i still have not once been in a real fight, and i know i highly doubt i could take on 3 let alone 4 people at once 2 Mayyyybe but thats a big Maybe but when theres no other option besides self defense in a situation against a group of people ill take my changes and fight back rather than curl up in a ball and take it That said i hope i never get into a situation like that

once at school some low life junkie was picking on this yaer8 kid with heavy aspergus syndrome after awhile of picking on the kid the kid snapped picked up a chair and was just yelling at him and this low life beat the living crap out of him :| i was on the other side of the class room and just as i realized what was happening he started to get punched multiple times and i imminently thought to run over there and tackle the guy try to hold him down but for some reason i just froze up and watched and only ran over there when it was to late :| i dunno why i didnt run over there sooner but i feel quite bad about it to this day :

on another occasion that same junkie guys friend (i dunno what drugs they take but i dont particularly care there all junkies to me) were picking on a overweight kid in class and after class i said to him "are you happy?" he responds "wut?" "are you happy you spend an entire hour picking on someone whos overweight you low life drugo" of course he got all pissed off and walked up to me Strangely i went into a defensive guard and he walked right into my fist, I kid you not i went into your typical fighting stance and he walked Right into my fist xD! it shocked him and then he swore and yelled and walked off while i was thinking *wait what just happened?*

Next week all his stupid little lowlife junkie friends eggd him onto punching me, I was talking to some year 7 kid and then the junkie walked up to me and asked why i hit him i calmly explained what happened and apologized as any good man would do he responded with "Oh ok" as he is about to walk off he waited for when i turned around then *SMACK* got punched right in the ear with one of the most widest punches youl ever see, i responded with a quite "ouch" it stung
Behold the
alittle bit but i just acted as if he wasn't even there, Then i heard his friends yelling at him to hit me again but he ignored them and just speed walked away

didn't get a word from him since But i dont go to school anymore so glad thats out of the way i dont want to boast or anything but im sure i could of knocked the guy out or badly injured him his punch was pathetic and he obviously had no idea how to fight and at that point id only just started martial arts or maybe i could of got my ass handed to me i dunno

but all the older experienced material artists that work in the therapy program at my old school were extremely surprise i didnt react at all and were impressed that i basically ignored a punch to the face (well ear) lol

i think the reason i just ignore him was because at that point i thought *"well i pissed him off pretty badly last week and somehow accidentally hit him but of course hes gonna think it was on purpose and i bet even if i do beat him up his group of 10or so will just beat the living shit out of me out of school at some point so Fuck it ill just take the couple of hits and a teacher will break it up very soon anyway"* i noticed there was teachers nearby anyway so

i dunno it all depends on the situation sometimes you gotta defend yourself other times defending yourself puts you in a much worse situation, at the end of the day i carry around my wallet with nothing important in it that a few dollars for food, a cheap phone and my external HDD sometimes thats really all i got in my pockets im not gonna rabidly defend myself against a huge group for something like that... Even if i had like say.. a Iphone4g $200 in my wallet and a uhh i dunno Psp? or something Im still not going to risk all of that to try and take on a group of 3to5 and risk serious injuries and possible brain damage
and if you carry that amount of expensive gear on you then thats partly your fault to begin with

i noticed when i was in year 7-8 i went to the emo phase that whole stupid fringe thing but i was more on the goth side i dunno why i was that emo type i guess it was a phase anyway lol but when i had the whole long hair black clothing i got allot of crap a hell of allot more than i do now, now i wear a cheap leather jacket i had a mohawk at one stage just to see what its like and while i had my mohawk for about 5-6months i never got any insults or bullied or anything like that xD its amazing how a simple hair cut and different clothing can really change peoples perspective of you, the people around my local schools and train stations that get "jumped" "rolled" or whatever and normally the tight jeans wearing emos that have almost womanly like hairdo and those crabcore loving people i just keep hearing about so many of them getting beaten up But its typical because most crabcore guys (atleast the few i know of) always threaten people Even if its joking they say it really seriously as a joke and thats why id assume allot of them get beaten up

 

[StormShaun]

Mate that must sucks, but I give you points for the jump...

you have me sympathy, this is why people need to own a weapon (Sword or gun) or need to have training for fighting, and why is it if you kill the people who are about to kill you how come it looks like your the killer...if a man or men threatened me or where about to do something I would consider their life void unless they tell me something that lets me spare them...but fortunatly I have not been in that kind of situation yet.

The worst situation that has happend to me is that a guy wanted to hand me my money to him at school and I grabbed him by his shirt and slapped his face hardest I could a couple of times and told him to bugger of before I put him through a window...this what happens when you enter high school with three years full of being bullied because your a gamer...

people these days...

 

[Sigma Van Lockheart]

Oh yea I was walking home from school late because I stayed behind to do art work and these 3 kids tried to pull me into an ally well there we 2 in the ally way and one fat one on the street. Now this fat kid tried to push me in the ally but i stepped back he then grabbed me by the collar to try and drag me in. Well I am the type who would rather die than hand over my stuff to a bunch of degenerates so I punched the F**ker in the neck he let go of me but tried to grab me again so I strangled him. His 2 nitwits whom he probably calls friends just stood there like the nitwits they were. Just then a cop shows up and then run all I lost where my £2 broken headphones.

 

[Valagetti]

I knew a guy who got mugged really bad, during the mugging they tryed on his shoes and they didn't fit... its always in packs, they don't even ambush you, they just walk straight up to you, induces paranoia like hell!

 

[Broady Brio]

I got jumped once before. 6 days after I turned 18. By 5 chavs, while there was 3 of us.

For some reason, I only received a sucker punch, then they ran off. Police give me a lift home afterwards, which was... Interesting.

Sometimes cops show up at the 'worst' of times, its wierd how that happens?

Yeah even if your really tough n' black belt etc, you run like hell. You don't know if they have weapons or more 'buddies' around. Horrible times we live in, always hear of guys fighting over an IPOD and the other dying, is this the worth of a human being?

 

[Funky Flump]

managed to jump off it and land on a train.

Wow! Now thats a way to escape a dangerous encounter! But yeah I dont understand those kinds of people, I dont see how you can do it? Its another person just like you argh where is the logic!

 

[MikeOfThunder]

Placed the wallet on the ground and when he stooped to pick it up I kicked him in the teeth with my steel-toed boots and basically started to shoe-fuck his face while shouting for my coworkers to call the police.quote]

Yeah I actually disagree with you here. Don't get me wrong, luring him in then smacking him in the face with your foot to make him go down, right on! But when you start mashing a persons head with your boot after they have been incapacitated, then your just attempting to kill them... Perhaps I read your comment wrong

For the jumping off the bridge and stuff guy, Wow thats pretty impressive. Hope they find your potential murderers/muggers!

 

[ultimateownage]

I learned recently that my uncle is the biggest badass ever.
I shit you not, he was walking out of a bar, and a guy stabbed him, and he took the knife out, and stabbed him back.
If you don't believe me, fine, but you are wrong.

Taking the knife out was a really stupid move, but so unbelievably badass.

O.T. Nothing bad has ever happened to me; I'm too young and innocent. That doesn't matter if you go into Whitley, though. Whitley will fuck you up.

Major snipsies

I think I love you. Marry me, please.
OT: Yeah, I think you can guess my opinion of your story.

 

[llew]

That's actually pretty incredible. Everybody I know that's been mugged by more than one person has basically had everything taken and gotten the shit kicked out of them. Good on you for escaping without that happening.

I've only been threatened for my things once. I guy approached me behind my workplace and demanded my wallet while holding a small knife. Carrying a knife myself (for work purposes) I was debating pulling it and attempting to defend myself that way but then I remembered something I'd seen in a movie. I calmly pulled out my wallet and repeated things like "Okay buddy, I don't want any trouble." Placed the wallet on the ground and when he stooped to pick it up I kicked him in the teeth with my steel-toed boots and basically started to shoe-fuck his face while shouting for my coworkers to call the police. I had to stay late until they arrived to give a statement but they said I could have handled the situation better.

Sorry I was in the mindset that if somebody threatens me with a weapon I have the right to kick them in the teeth. My bad.

haha must be said, i think you have officially gained the "bad-ass responses" badge
OT: never been mugged before but somone did pull a knife on me, he got pulled away by his friends because i just looked at him and told him to stab me if he was going to, i couldn't take the guy seriously, he was older than me, shorter, had short blonde hair and was stoned to the point he was swaying, i was more worried he would get the person behind me (i found out later he tried to punch someone, missed and hit the slide behind the person not long after)
