I've Had A Rough Few Days

Gang intitiations
@joecoin, in my district I'll be surprised if he gets anything more than a slap on the wrist.




Darn tootin!


I'll give it a try!








Thanks, I'm doped up on ibuprofen right now. Oddly enough it really didn't hurt that much. In all honesty, I'm more annoyed about this whole ordeal then angry. It's just such an inconvience. I'm not a vindictive person, but it right ticked me off. Bones will heal, teeth won't. How am I supposed to pick up chicks now?!

Sorry to hear about the problems. When it comes to cripes, anyone wearing red is free game and they feel disrespected by it (I know, stupid) even if your not associated with them. Reverse is the same for the bloods (speaking from experience from working in and around the Compton, Ca. area in the 90's) Words of advice wear neutral colors, be careful when leaving work and on your way home, and don't speak to anyone about your coin collections. Even a well trusted best friend could be telling another friend that Grapes bought a coin that cost over ___hundred dollars not knowing that some thug is eavesdropping. Oh I found that martial arts could help, but you got to be very well skilled when up against a gun or knife...Always be aware of your surroundings...Hope you Feel better soon and recover quickly

Wanna know the embarrassing part? I'm a martial artist of 13 years, a second-degree black belt. It doesn't really do much when you effectively get drive-by'd by a fist. Groups of kids like that are so common the last thing that I expected was what ended up happening.


I've been coming down to that area for the better part of a year now. When s* hit the fan as of late, you'd think that might cue me in. This morning I just threw on a zip-up I could fit in my bag during the day and pop it out when I needed it. Usually, I wear either Khakis or jeans with a generic button-up to work, it just happened to be a bit bitey and I thought nothing of it, lesson learned.

I used to have a good friend who's family were all bloods, he was a good kid and tried his best to stay out of all that, but his family only invited trouble. He ended up taking the fall for his brother a while back because his brother (an active member) had hid some of his unlawful firearms in and about the house, including my friends room. When the police raided their house he ended up getting blamed for them, even though he stayed out of the gangs unlike the rest of his siblings and parents. He won't be out for another 8 months because they hit him with unlawful possession of a firearm. I hate the phrase "A Victim of Circumstance" but it really did apply in his case.

Oh god! This is so terrible! I am so mad they did this to you! I hope you serve them justice and have a quick recovery!

Sorry to hear this happened to you Cam. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

The young thug who coward punched you would never have gone to jail.
Why?
The jails are full,
so the courts try to keep petty punks like the chunderhead who coward punched you,
knew that he was never going to end up inside the 'klink'.

Don't feel too bad about this Grape. I studied Martial Arts for a few years with a Sensei who was a 6th degree black belt at the time. He always stated that if two or three assailants attacked you you're probably going to get your butt kicked regardless of your training. It's very difficult to take on multiple attacker except in the movies.

Speedy recovery Grape

Same here.

Lucky for me a patrol car drove up, pulled him off me and apprehended him.

Apparently the reason he jumped me was I sat in "his seat" on the bus.

I guess he enjoyed the seat upgrade, chauffeured by two cops.
