I live on a street that isnt very good. I dont play with the neighbors at all and they dont play with me I like it like that. Lived here for fifteen years. The other night (thursday) I leave to go to work at midnight I roll up the the stop sign which is just up the street and there is the group (maybe 8-10) of wanna be gang bangers (that is what they think they are - punk [] kids imo) that hang around my street, their at the corner house this night. Ok I had my window all the way down to back out the driveway and left it down, roll towards the stop sign and I look over and one of the punks act like they are going to throw something at me. I big baseball pitch. When something like that happens for the most part you think a brick is comeing your way for the most part for lack of arguement most people would (rodney king riots with the truck driver is my first thought).
Ok nothing happened. The Question - in your opinion - If it did would I be able to defend myself? I think that I could if it actually happend. And may very well have to with these punks.
Hypothetical speaking now. I was hit couldnt see straight and they try to pull me out of the car because I had stopped (wasnt at the stop sign just yet still rolling up) but if got hit probably would hit the brakes by reaction. I dont know maybe take off If I could. It is a new truck dont want to crash it with a brick sticking out the side of my head. If they just hit the truck back up and high beam em to identify the attacker call the cops right away keep the attacker in sight which way he goes etc. etc.
Im thinking hindsight 20/20 thinking of what I need to do to not be a victim to these punks. I know it is all subjective and who knows what could happen and what a person is going to do - how it all ends up. But you need to be proactive and not reactive and have a plan.
What disturbed me mostly was it was dead silent and that is when it is scarry. That is when they all stop talking smack and are paying attention to what is going to happen. I honestly think that the crackhead had something in his hand and that he didnt release it but to show off and have everyone look at him for laughs whatever. You know whatever watch this fellas. The second thing that disturb me was I had my carry peice iwb at four oclock and was seatbelted in which I can tell you will be at the ready from now on as you cant get to it very quickly when it is like that.
Back story - I have heard them (the punk [] kids) to hit a pregnat girl (four-five months pregnat) that was visiting my neighbors that live upstairs in front of my house had heard gunshots, fights, a guy flashing a gun(called the cops on that one - no the cops didnt get him even when I told them which way he would run as it was the guy that lives right across the street). Just about everything has happened around here. At the start of this week the neighbor that lives upstairs was jumped and hit with a brick and beat down by twelve of them. By the stop sign is where it happened, I learned of this last night after they acted like they were going to throw something at me, when I was up there talking about it to my neighbors. This is a girl. There were males involved in the beat down. The cops were called and my neighbor was arrested because it was twelve witnesses against one.They said that my neighbor attacked them she has a black eye still and was bleeding after the attack but the cops arrested her.
Well that is my world and just a gimpse of what goes on around here. As the punk [] crackheads get older they are getting bolder with the violence. I would move if I could but cant and wont let myself be a victim to sensless violence.
And right now I am going to go finish hooking up the rest of my cameras around my house. I finally got the part to finish it last week. I will have eight cameras working. All activate by motion. all entry point are covered and you can not walk aroun here without getting on tape. I honestly believe that some day these punks will try to break into my house and I plan on catching them in the act. They did it to my neighbor directly next in broad daylight last year, I called the cops on that also and they got caught. Who will be around to call for me is what I think. I recommend getting cameras around your property as mine have already been an asset remember the pregnant girl they were caught on tape, the actual assault wasnt but it still places the perp at the scene.
