I'm just curious why you didn't call the cops on your cellphone at that minute instead of after you got home.
This is just me, but I think if a couple of kids had a gun they'd pull it out immediately. The whole purpose of having one on you is to show it off and scare people with it into doing what you want. There's no purpose in hiding it and using your fists. Same goes with a knife.
I think we take for granted that we are all safe while walking out at night. I know ALOT of people say they feel safe doing so in nyc, but that's an illusion. This is especially true if you're a woman, or if you're walking around at 3am. It doesn't matter that crime has gone way down or that there are more cops on the streets these days.
If the last few days are any indication, you don't know who the hell is carrying a gun these days. Even for a 12yr old kid, it's easy to get a box cutter or some type of blade. You probably could have kicked their asses but can understand the hesitation.
Except, lose the flip flops man. You're not at the beach. You know how many people I've seen get their asses kicked because they were wearing flip flops to a bar? They have no traction and are a huge disadvantage. If you want to go out walking after midnight, wear something that you can use to kick somebody and hurt them or at the least something to run better in.
