Odine Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 So I was drunk with my mate last night and we were on push bikes going down the road when out of nowhere these people jumped out, pushed us off our bikes and bet us up. Fun times. There is not a lot you can do when there is a whole gang of kids and only two of you. I think I got knocked out. One second I was telling these kids to fuck of the next I was talking a police officer with blood pouring out my nose and back of my head where it hit the pavement. The minutes in between are gone, so yeah figured that was my first brush with unconsciousness. Like a Contral-alt-delete reset. Got a nice shiner (black eye) now too. People are ***holes. And about twenty meters down the road it turns out this same gang of kids assaulted another group of people only a lot worse. Apparently the moon last night was different or something. "Blue moon" or whatever. The moon sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yeah for sure. People like stabbings here a lot so I'm chuffed I didn't have to go through that.That's what you told me when I came to London and I get scurred! What part of town were you in?

Odine Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Islington. Was on a busy road at 2am or so called Essex Road. Its full of bars and quite public. I mean.. I say that of knives because people largely don't have guns in this country. I mean.. some gangsters and dodgy people do but you're more likely to see gun crime in gang on gang situations usually revolving around drugs. Random encounters on the street are super common, and usually don't involve knife crime but it is pretty common for little shit bags with nothing to do but misbehave and get a rep to use knives. Also, the thing with London is dodgy neighbourhoods are not segregated from the rest of the place. Council estates (state housing) and dodgy areas can be in the middle of affluent and visually what one would assume is a safe neighbourhood. Nice houses sometimes sit opposite and next to absolute dives. There are no real "ghetto" areas.... well that is an exaggeration because there are, but for the most part its mixed all over the place. Where I got attacked assaults on nights out are common, and knife crime is not unheard of either. Its also a popular drinking and eating area. I've been assaulted and/or people have tried to mug me 3 times (including this time) by complete random strangers at night since I moved to London seven years ago.

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I am sorry to hear this, Odine. I hope you recover soon. And I hope they catch the guys who did this, though I know from experience, that is usually a long shot at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelentlessMalice Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Bunch of savages. This is why I keep a concealed weapons permit. I hope they catch the bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 F'n chavs? Dude. I am so glad you are okay. I've only been assaulted in childhood - that is me and one of my brothers got into - and again last year by my brother. Never by strangers.

Odine Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Bunch of savages. This is why I keep a concealed weapons permit. I hope they catch the bastards.I mean, I totally understand your sentiment. Personally I'd rather get my ass handed to me in a fistfight than have the situation escalate by drawing a firearm and potentially fatally shooting someone and come out unscathed. But to have a deterrant like that might be a comfort, but personally I think it is a false comfort. I couldn't live with killing someone.. Unless the alternative was my own death. This certainly wasn't a life and death situation. Just a bunch of drunk dick heads beating each other up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelentlessMalice Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 To each his own. I am not willing to take a chance that I will be alive or not permanetly damaged after a fight with 5 or 6 people. Plus in the back of my mind what if they had a gun? I would rather have one and not need it then need one and not have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they die, they die. Glad you're (mostly) okay, hope there isn't a fourth encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalcedony Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 OMG! So glad you didn't get it worse. Traumatic to have to experience that sort of thing at all, though. I hope the jerks get run over by a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
