Troublesome Weekend and Monday.

I going to get some since I had an old man I once knew follow me right out of jack n Box harassing me for a few bucks. I had to go in the QT next door to get away from him. I since then take my cell phone with me. Some time later(Year or two?) after that he was on the sidewalk right outside the Housing Office and threw a fit when I wouldn't give him a dollar.

Used to be a coworker and both him and his younger son(also coworker) were drunks back then.

That is the first time I considered getting pepper spray... This time I'm getting some.

I am guessing that you are a person who has never had to use force of any kind.

I truly feel sorry for you in "modern times" as there are far too many who will take advantage of that = if given 1/2 CHANCE.

You SHOULD really CONSIDER TAKING A CLASS ON A WEEKLY SCHEDULE FOR SELF DEFENSE..

You need the self confidence to be able to take care of yourself,AND be trained and taught that you have THE RIGHT to be unmolested and free to leave your dwelling.

A 'walking stick' is just that and we all need to "maintain our balance" so that is THE ONLY REASON you carry that cane/stick !.

It is NOT a weapon,and you will not ever refer to it as such ----- EVER !.

Mace and the cane ALL NEED TRAINING.

Other then having other kids picking on me when I was a kid, no I never had to use force or even the threat of force to protect myself. I always had weak body strength and could never throw a punch if my life depended on it. I don't even look capable of being violent if jumped.

I've been jumped and robbed once in my life in another city I was placed in by Chestnut. I heard someone running behind me and turned. The next thing I know I was in the side of my forehead above the right eye with something hard and went down. I went into a fetal mode and let them take my empty wallet and three guys just barely kicked me and left. Since I was bleeding where I got hit. I had my roommate call the Mainstay Office and went to the hospital.

The damn needle hurt worse then whatever I got hit with and three pairs of legs kicking me. Anyway me and my case manager went to the local PD to get the police report, and when asked: I told them that I didn't see their faces or skin color as I was on the ground protecting my head.

Well it may be a lot safer where I live now, but as I mention before trouble has two feet, sometimes four legs...

Whm, you have received some good advice, here , to the extent that those who have responded have accurately interpreted your posts. I doubt that you will receive any substantive additions through an impersonal virtual venue.

You have posted some rather personal information here. Please reflect upon the fact that everything that one posts in a public forum is---public, and permanent.

One does not want to post anything that one would not want to see printed on the first page of the newspaper.

I suggest that you take your discussion to someone with whom you can converse face-to-face, privately.

Good luck.

Sorry I wasn't aware I was being too "public" with personal info. And a big Thank You to everyone who has given me advice on how to deal with both of them, especially the young man. The best way is to simply avoid them if a can

Speaking of the Walking Stick. I'll call this a "Dancing Stick" since I have since I seen both men and women using Blackthorns and Canes doing dance routines before. Quite good ones too.

That wraps it up.
