My friend and I were talking in a parking lot after seeing Saw 3. Aftr a while, a man came around hitting cars with a wooden pole. Asking what we were looking at, I said "Nothing". I was planning on calling the cops inside the theater, but he started walking towards us. My friend says "We better relocate" and got in his car quickly and sped off. He thought I was right behind him in my car, but I didn't go. The guy talked to me for a while, asking for my stats, to which I gave him lies.

I then noticed he was very drunk. He was asking the same questions over and over, and had slurred speech. He offered me Vodka in a bottle, which I declined (I'm underage). Then, he hit me with the pole.

He was aiming for my head, but I blocked it with my hand, and it deflected, and ended up hitting my car. He swung again, and I blocked again with my forearm, and it once again hit my car. Then my friend called.

He heard yelling and cursing and me saying "AH!" as he hit me for a third time in the shoulder. I told him to call the cops.

He got angry. He started cursing some more, asking if I just called the cops. I told him "The cops don't randomly call people! I'd have to call them!" but logic was not his friend. He gave me the bat and told me to hit him in the head. I did not, because I know the law is I have to try to run away before it can be self-defense, and I didn't run away because I wanted him to be arrested. I called the cops. He couldn't decide if he wanted to attack me or run away. He fell down a few times running. Eventually he did run away, going into his house which was very close by. Then, a cop came, and not just any cop, but this cop is one of my friend's dad. So we went to a bar, cause it was nearby, and turns out he was kicked out of the place. Then, we went to his house where two other police vehicles already were. He was taken away.

I then drove myself to the police station, and my friend got there the same time I did. He thought I was right behind him and said he was very sorry. I laughed it off, I really was/am fine with it. We gave our stories to the police, had pictures of my bodily damage and car damage taken, etc.

The guy threatened and attacked an officer, too. He threatened their families. He's in big trouble.
 
...and the first thing you do is come post here?:confused:

Gotcha.
 
Great story.

Tuck me in and turn off the light?

Uh, no. The first thing I did was try to calm him down. Then I called the cops. Then I was with the cop for a while. Then I was at the police station for two hours. Then I came home and told my family. Then I spoke with my friends. Then I came here.

Why'd you let him hit you with a pole?

Sadly, I do not have telekinetic powers to stop him. And I wanted him to get caught, not just run away.
 
A nice trick is- if there's witnesses, while you're hitting him, keep yelling, "stop it! I told you to stop!".

Perception- as every story will be different- will more than likely come out to, "he gave the guy a fair chance to stop attacking him, but he wouldn't let up."
 
Why the hell did you take 4 hits from a pole? It's self defense if he attacked first. You don't have to run away first.

Then why would you let him hit you the second and third time? You could have ran away and still reported him for assault.

Your location looks pretty ironic right now doesn't it?

Sounds like a crazy night.

Last friday some homeless guy walked past me and some friends in the parking lot of some bookstore. He mooned us, than walked up to us and starting talking about Jesus.:huh:

You have to try running away first. Unless it's on your own property. Either way, he had the pole, if I attacked him I could have been beaten. Maybe.

Once I got the pole, I felt like I didn't need to run away because if he attacked me I had a weapon. He never got close enough for me to have to use that sort of force. I was tempted, believe me.

Could've dodged too, but maybe he doesn't have Spider Sense either.
 
If I ran away, I would not have known where he ran off to. I had to point out where he went. I was kind of trapped between my car and him anyway.
 
I'm pretty sure that the police would have taken your side versus the drunken man hitting you with a pole. You not reacting was dumb and could have resulted in a much worse outcome.

True, but the fact that the assailant STOPPED, gave Demon a bat, and said, "hit me in the head with it," is enough to to be a crime on Demon's side. If witnesses were around, anyway.

If not, then Demon could have hit the guy and made up some bull**** story about how he grabbed the bat from him and beat the guy when he wouldn't stop swinging at Demon with the wooden pole.
 
I know they would have taken my side. It's just that he could have ran off and hid. I did not know his name at the time. They couldn't just find everyone in the city and tell me to point out the one.

He didn't give him the bat until a good 2 swings had been taken. Demon had plenty of time to react in self defense.

Thank you.

And yeah, there were witnesses. Two guys in an armored car, a fire engine and an ambulance with like 20 firefighters and paramedics....they just watched, even as I was yelling and waving for them. Jackasses.

^^I know, I'm talking about hitting him with the bat, though.

I agree with you, however, that Demon wasn't very bright in simply telling the man to stop instead of trying to get away [who cares if the police really caught him? Either someone would have crushed his ass or he would have sobered up and been caught later... Still, it's not like he shot someone] or defending himself.
 
People. I was between him and my car. I didn't have a chance to fight him back without him smashing me in the face with it. I couldn't run until he moved. And once I got the pole, I had no reason to run.
