Re: saw dude get mugged today [Re: crunchytoast]
    #4233122 - 05/29/05 11:20 AM (18 years, 8 months ago)

when I was in high school, I got jumped by roughly 5 girls in front of my own school, and all of my friends stood there and did nothing.  They were too scared, frozen in fear, to realize there were a hell of a lot more of them than there were girls on top of me.  Since then, I've never let anyone get their ass beat in an unfair fight in front of me withouthjumping in to do something about it. 

The most recent incident, I wa sin Boston and saw some girl getting her ass kicked, one on one, and then like 3 other girls jumped in on top of her.  I handed my friend my purse and started doing my damndest to pull people off of her.  Wound up with a bloody nose, a concussion, but the girl was ok, and thanked me profusely.  In my opinion, I'd rather jump into a fight and risk getting hurt, than stand there and do nothing and feel like shit aboutmyself afterwards.  I've regretably been in a lot of fights because of this, but at least I know how to hold my own and protect myself and other people now.  :shrug:  I think next time you'll be a lot more prepared.

There is no way I would of stood there and watched somebody get mugged. I do not believe you did it out of selfishness or any reason other than FEAR. You and the whole crowd of cowards were scared that if you did try to help you would be physically harmed yourself. So out of fear you let this man down who looked you dead in your eye reaching out to you for his life. I cannot imagine how he feels right now.. He must feel very fucking sick and sad inside. :mad2:

Karma is a bitch my friend and you were just tested by it actually stared dead in the eyes by it and you failed. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you but its going to come back to you x 3.

Is that an exact calculation? :lol:

I think you are being a little too judgemental and harsh, after all, we are only human, and we all make mistakes, he may just have to resolve not to make that mistake again, we all have to learn our lessons somehow, otherwise we could never develop. We are not perfect beings yet by a long shot. Mistakes arent worth beating ourselves up over ,everyone makes them, they are a fact of life. :heart:


--------------------
All you need is Love! Really thats it! Infinite Unconditional Love! Just develop that and all else will fall into place perfectly!

Maybe I am being a little judgemental based on my personal beliefs. It's just hearing stories like this that make me sad with humanity. I can't fathom looking into somebodies eyes that is calling out to me for their life and doing nothing to help him/her. Yes it was a good learning lesson for him and the person being mugged I totally agree with that. I hope that if put in a similar situation again he steps up to the plate and does somthing to help.

What Iv learned from life thus far is that what goes around comes around and that one hand washes the other.

Damn, we got the Wonder Friends on here! All of you saying you would've stepped in are so full of shit. Gimme a fucking break. And saying the poster needs to learn from this? That's the biggest bunch of new age horse shit I've heard in ages. He did all he could do. He called the police. Fuck, if he had interfered and actually through some sudden splurge of Supermanly powers managed to fight off these three young men he still could have gotten in trouble if any of them got hurt. Hell, he could have ended up in jail for assault. I know it's nice to think I'm the type that does so and so and I'm the hero type and all that but for real people: STOP KIDDING YOURSELVES. You wouldn't have done shit. And if you were getting mugged all you'd do is give up your money. If I was getting mugged I wouldn't expect anyone to help besides notifying the police. I wouldn't expect an unarmed person to get involved and if I could get out without any physical damage I wouldn't want them to. So stop with all the bullshit and the judgmental crap, Shoomery Super Friends!

I'm not kidding anyone, I have on one occasion stepped in and stopped a kid from getting his ass beat, and there was a VERY good chance I was going to get my ass beat, but I was lucky. I've acted different times in different ways to stop my friends from getting their ass kicked before a fight started. Don't spew your bullshit without asking anybody first.

The whole mentality that I believe many people share on this site is one of inaction. Think first, act second. Sometimes in life you need to act first and think afterwards, a lot of times you'll realize that your actions weren't a kneejerk reaction, instead they were something that is ingrained in who you are deeper than any "thinking" could reveal.

I had three Hawaiians jump me and try to take my shit once. I was hitching a ride at night on Kauai and this truck pulls up and asks if I want ride, I say yeah, they ask where I'm going, I say I don't care, just north, they say get in. It was dark and I was rolling on an E tab and didn't even bother to look at the people, I just got in the back of the truck.
They took me to an isolated road that went to a beach on the east shore, got out of the truck and stood around me in a triangle, they asked me about what I had in my backpack and what I was doing on the island.
They were drunk and I believe they were coming down from some ice as well. I had about 35 cents on me, in my shirt pocket, nothing in my bag besides books and dirty clothes, pretty much. They started hitting me and shit, I had a guitar too, but they didn't care much about that, they wanted my backpack. A couple cars came by, one tourist in a Lexus and one truck full of kids in the back.
I stood in front of the cars and flagged them down. The first one, the Lexus, just rolled up the window and continued on as I begged for help. No luck. The next one, the truck, slowed down and watched me getting beat for a moment, then carried on. I was once again left alone.
Without going to far into what happened, I still had alot of energy from the E when this all went down, so I was able to take the hits and somehow outrun them, carrying my backpack and guitar, which they never got, to this house a few hundred feet down the road from where we were. The lights were on, and when I got into the drive way going towards the door they backed off, got into their truck and took off.
I had the person who lived at the house call the cops and some medics came down and checked out my head. I got beat down pretty well, Hawaiians can get big. My jaw was fucked up and I had some badly bruised ribs (which proved to be an enormous pain in the ass for about a month or so. when you sleep on the ground and haul a backpack everywhere you go, bruised ribs suck, bad.) , but I was OK for the most part. A cop took me to where I wanted to go (Kauai is a small island) and I slept.
I ended up ok, but it could have turned out really bad. The fact that no one would help me out really hurt my faith in humanity. It was unbelievable to me that people could cruise by and watch me get beaten by these three men and not do a thing about it. I lost alot of respect for fellow human beings that night.
I've not come across anyone in a similar situation since then, but I know damn well that if and when I do, I'm going to do everything in my power to help out the poor individual that's being taken. There is no doubt in my mind. I'll put my life on the line to help someone who is getting fucked with now. I know what it's like to get shun, and I never want to be the person who just looks and keeps going. I fucking despise that person and their embrace of fear. I can understand it, but it makes me sick nonetheless.
I had this experience for a good reason. I'm sure someday I'll be put on the spot and be forced to test my resolve. When that day comes, I will not disappoint. Even if the odds are hopeless. I'll do something. I wouldn't be able to live with myself otherwise.
Before my incident, though, most likely I would have just gone on and not thought too much about it. I typically do everything I can to avoid physical conflict.
Learning is a primary aspect of life. We don't always do the best thing possible in a given situation, we don't always know what the best thing is. We fear. But staying open to learning from your experiences is vital, and if you can do that, and stay true to your perceptions and what you learn, then your faults and mistakes are not really important, nothing to dwell upon for sure, because you know in the future you will not repeat them.
