My First NY Mugging

[Calvin]

It's tricky, really you want to run in the opposite dierection to which they're facing, simply having to spin round 180 degrees will throw most people's aim off significantly (your average mugger isn't exactly an expert marksman)

another trick I used to use when walking round a rough area at night was to keep a pocket full of pennies on me, if anyone started I could just reach in the pocket and chuck the pennies at their face. It gets them off balance and gives you time to sweep their legs out from under them thus giving you control of the fight.

If I'd tried that while drunk, the result would not have been pretty for me. Besides, I was hit before I even realized what was happening. They were on me immediately and I didn't see them coming, so throwing pennies or leg sweeping would have done nothing at that point.

Fair comment, at that stage you're looking at grappling which can get kinda tricky if you don't know what your doing. You did the right thing, in that kind of situation, if you're not in a position to fight back, the best thing to do is take it cuase hitting them back will just piss them off

I don't understand, you go door to door for some kind of charity is it a Pahalhanlahanuik related charity?

Save The Children. It's the worst job on the planet. Seriously. It has recently turned me into an anti-semite.

 

[Darren Daring]

That's ridiculous, jobs shouldn't invole waling places, unless you're a proffesional runner or prostitute

 

[Calvin]

You get to the point where you'd be willing to prostitute yourself for a sign-up. And then you get to the point where gender doesn't matter.

Species?

 

[Calvin]

If they sign up for the 28 dollar one instead of the 24 dollar one, then that doesn't matter either.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm surprised nobody suggested feigning unconsciousness. I have no problem pretending to pass out if I notice the odds are really against me. Especially in Calvin's case where they really did just want him to "go to sleep".

 

[Ronny Shade]

damn how did I miss this thread?

 

[arachnid-guy]

Well, make up for missing it. Post, post, post!

 

[Ronny Shade]

yeah, well Calvin, it serves you right, bastard.


No, totally kidding, that sucks.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Well, another day, another lesson learned. Don't be white walking through Harlem alone at 4 in the morning.

Yeah, but how could you've known?

the guy strangling me just kept saying "go to sleep, b**ch"

Heh, Calvin's a b****.

Door to door charity work pretty much relies on me looking non-f**ked up, and being able to talk a mean game.

Hahaha, "Pleeh hell thay thu tildren." lol

 

[DIRECTOR]

can I have all your money and credit cards?

 

[War Lord]

Well, I don't know how every mugger thinks, but most will beat you up out of frustration if they realise you don't have anything of value on you.

If they're going to beat on you, they're going to beat on you anyway. At least they won't get your stuff.

 

[TKing]

Even if you give muggers your stuff, if there's no one around, the chances are they'll probably kick the crap out of you for the hell of it anyway.

Either way, we lose. They win.

 

[DV8]

[DV8]

Sound as insensitive as you want. You can't expect to post things on the Hype without people ragging you.

 

[Holly Goodhead]

this is why i want to buy a gun

 

[TKing]

Just because you hear about people getting mugged, doesn't mean you will yourself. I wouldn't rush into buying a gun.

 

[Darthphere]

Youre too ****ish to get mugged.

 

[War Lord]

I'd rush into buying a gun.

Not because I want to protect myself, but because I can shoot somebody.
