Have you ever been assaulted?

I have been in probably close to 2 dozen scrums. Some really bad. Sometimes I was the assaulted and sometimes I was the assaultee, lol. It can be a jungle out there.
 
I grew up in the ghetto. Plenty of stories...

Got a black eye at 7-11 this way...
Teenager 16-19 years old: (yelling towards me) hey come here.
Me 11 or 12 years old: (looked at him and walking away)
Teenager: (yelling) come over here now!
Me: (walked towards him) what?
Teenager: (punches tempo) I wasn't talking to you.
Me: (I got up)
Teenager: (punches me in the tempo again) mumbling
ME (I got up)
Teenager: (punches me in the tempo again) mumbling
Clerk: blah blah blah...get out!!!

One time, I was walking home after grabbing some snacks from liquor store....took a shortcut through an alley (like I've done for years)....and got confronted by two gangsters. It went something like this...

Gangster: where are you from?
Me: huh?
Gangster: where are you from?
Me: what?
Gangster: what do you claim?
Me: (started backing off)
Gangster: (pulls out a silver handgun)
Me: (took off running)
(Two gunshots fired)
Me: hopped over fence

Funny thing was...I thought this was the norm. That life was like this everywhere. Glad I'm out of that shithole.
 
I spent almost 2 years in Vietnam in combat situations...does that count? There were people shooting at me nearly daily...and I was in several hand-to-hand skirmishes...sometimes, it's good to bring a knife to a gunfight...


I used to fight about anyone, anytime, anywhere...sometimes I'd win, sometimes I'd lose...but if I lost, generally I got even later.

My stance of dominance is indomitable.
 
I got jumped by a couple guys in a forest on my way to a bush party. Got 2 bottle in the head, none of which broke which is extra painful. They are lucky they ran off though, 'cause I had 30 strong at that party that were drunk and ready to go.

I really is too bad they got away because I have never in my life been so mad. I had 2 full bottles of beer ready for a skull.....maybe it is best that it never came to that, from a legal stand point. I may have killed one of them if given the chance at that particular moment in time.
 
I was robbed at knifepoint by two men riding in my taxicab, in May of 1988. They were going to rape and kill me, they said, but I managed to get away. Adrenalin can be a wonderful thing!
 
I was walking with a friend to another friend's house at about midnight. Reasonably safe neighborhood. These guys in a garage yell out to us "Hey you want some alcohol". We shouted back no and kept walking. Then they started yelling at us and we just kept walking past their house. Later on we realized they were following us so we quickly walked towards a larger street, but two of them had ran around and cut us off.

It was two of us versus about ten of them. We got shoved to the ground and they had just pulled out knives when a car driving by flashed their lights on them and they ran off into a nearby alleyway.

We called the cops. We knew roughly where the house was and they were all wearing high school letter jackets with football logos on them. With a little investigative work, the police should have been able to find them, but nothing ever happened.

Yes, I've had a gun more than once stuck into me, though never in the face (that's for emos) and only at such close quarters in civilian life. Curiously, though I've had knives brandished at me, never had one "jabbed in my side." I blame the recent success of the 2nd amendment for this one. 😉
 
there was one incident in college.

I jokingly punched my roommate in the shoulder. he reacted... badly. threw me up against a wall and freaked the hell out.

I found out later that he was bipolar and had been off his meds for awhile.
 
Had a shotgun held on me. I was pretty sure she didn't know how to release the safety.
An axe murderer who just killed his girlfriend tried to truck jack me.

A convicted mass murderer lived in my house, until I kicked her out for kicking in the side of my car. Her car was still registered to my nearby address when she shot 8 and killed 3, including a 3 year old and a respected doctor, at the Springfield Mall.

The cops swarmed my home and entered w/0 a warrant and brought in the bomb squad when they saw what they thought were suspicious pipes in my above ground basement.

The cops later told me that my front door was open. I knew it was not but told them I had zero problem with what they did in entering.

I was called at work and came home to the press all over the damn place.

SHE WAS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!!!!! 😱
