I'm terrified....

Yesterday was a scary day. I almost got beaten up by street thugs after a violent fight with people I was talking to. Obviously scared for my life I ran to cops breathless who eventually got the violent guy arrested and shortly after the whole gang!

Now they know it was me tho and once released I'm scared they'll come back for me 😞 I'm also the ONLY one to stand up against the whole group of street thugs from the whole neighborhood.

Buy yourself a decent bat and some pepper spray

@Lostpoet spray is an option

@SW-User actually, you can save money and buy oven cleaner. The high strength ones can permanently blind someone.

this 100% @basilfawlty89

@basilfawlty89 Then however if you blind someone in self-defence *you* risk getting in trouble too, at least in my part of the world.

id be willing to take that risk if my life was in danger@Elessar

@Elessar Same here 😶 @Gangstress That is understandable in the heat of the moment. The amount of trouble later in court proceedings is still hell stressful tho.

I have been in court for GBH as I used self defence! the girl revoked her charges luckily, but yes I am aware! @SW-User

@Gangstress Luckily she revoked those charges

@Lostpoet Pretty sure it's illegal to have a baseball bat for use as a club (depending on where she lives), so it's good to be advised of that. Maybe look into a pepperball gun though, those are fucking cool.

@BlueVeins 🤷🏼‍♂️pretty sure there are batting cages where she lives and a girl can practice on her swing, can't she?

BlueVeins · 22-25

@Lostpoet Yes, but you'd need to build that up as plausible deniability. If she just kept it in her car, by her bed, on her back, etc. without a mitt or pair o' cleats, that argument would ring pretty hollow to the cops.

Lostpoet · M

@BlueVeins Most things are hollow to cops. Maybe I really shouldn't even joke about carrying a bat in this days and age the best thing for her to do is call the cops and record everything on her phone if she feels threatened.

SW-User

@Lostpoet Call cops? They just released him I just saw him!!! 🤦‍♀️

@BlueVeins Personally for me it's a cover up to terrorise residents due to construction contractors. It's an observation but it seems acceptable. Does not change the fact you're really risking getting beaten up tho.
