They tell me city life is dangerous...

Holy crap, you guys. A girl was just mugged on our block, and there is blood on our stoop.

She lives in my building, in apartment 17. She was walking home from Lunds with a friend, carrying kitty litter and Tide liquid laundry detergent.

mattador and I were watching LOST, and we heard screaming for help and another woman shouting "let her go." We got

holy shit. stay safe you *hugs like whoa* I'm really glad that she's going to be okay.

[virtuistic]

Yeah... minus the broken arm. =/

I'll be safe. Trust me, anyone comes near me... I will fucking kill them if necessary. At the very least, I will give them a significant wound that will incriminate them.

Good post. At night we usually have high-powered alloy luxeon flashlights on us that weigh around 5-7 lbs. Haven't had to use them yet, but have still developed a certain 'flash-n-bash' method' to self-defense.

I definitely endorse that type of behavior. I've often reflected on the potential for mag-lights to double as nightsticks.

I'm totally with you on the whole so glad I take self defense and mma stuff. but aas, I am also 5'10" and look like she-hulk in the dark...

but dude, the snow makes em crazy.

[virtuistic]

There isn't even any snow! It don't make no sense!

Also, lmfao @ she-hulk. I am 135 lbs, 5'6... so I look vulnerable but I'm trained, I'm irritable, and I'm from Irish and Sicilian stock. I am not someone to trifle with.

i'm a giant nordic irish girl who will burst into muscle if i even look/ at a barbell.

dude...no snow?! in mn?! wtf indeed

oh man! that sucks so badly for #17. :( I would never be able to live in the same apartment again knowing that the mugger was still out there. :O!! I hope she's okay.

See, I had a guy try to steal my bag off me in broad daylight once... but it was on Lake St. (which is notorious for shady folk) and I smacked him in the face with my keys and he ran off.

I... let's ust say I can take care of me and mine. I half wish I had been out there. I would've ran after him and thrown down some beatings.

[stillabet]

Oh man, that sounds scary. I'm glad you're ok and that your neighbor will be. :(

Shit like this makes me want to dress up in Spandex and kick the everliving feces out of hoodlums.
