*Vanity*Personal Self Defense Anecdote
11/5/2009 | TZN

Posted on 11/05/2009 6:30:53 PM PST by TypeZoNegative

Today, some thugs tried to attack my girlfriend on the Minneapolis/Saint Paul Metro Transit Route 5, all because we asked them to turn down their loud and disruptive music. They refused and they tried to attack my girlfriend. They quickly found out the hard way that I'm a black belt in Taekwondo. :)

They got a few shots on me to my head and I had to go to the hospital to get checked, but I feel better now. I took the night off of school tonight, but I can make up the lab later on. Oh, and they weren't too thrilled that I'm dating a white woman and they called her a "(Censored) white woman" after I defended my GF so that's what probably fueled it even further. Oh well. If Obama has his way, everybody's going to have to be a black belt in some sort of martial art to defend themselves from these angry thugs. I'm glad I got mines earlier in life.

Dude! That is only 1/2 a story!

What did you do to them? The fact you posted tells me you got the better of the engagement...

But, but, but, tell us how you whooped ‘em! Good for you. And they sound like some kind of racists themselves. What is it them who you date? Was it a hate crime?

Glad that you and the prospective Mrs are ok. Sad that you had to even go through such a thing.

Seems like I read on Yahoo a few days ago that you are in one of “safest cities” in the country. What? As long as you don’t make waves?

People keep asking for details.

Don’t provide them.

Don’t put stuff on the web that could be used against you in court or even pose a danger of leading to legal problems.

You’ve got your picture and your woman’s picture on here, so you could be located, in theory at least.

You say these guys aren’t going to go to the law? Probably not.

What if you have another incident next week or next month? The circumstances may be different. Then somebody could use anything you post here about this incident to demonstrate a history of violence or something. I don’t know exactly how it could be used against you, that would depend on details I don’t have, but I am certain that some members of the legal bureaucracy will use what you post against you if they can.

I hope you didn’t get hurt too bad. What ever happened to manners? When I was a kid if asked by an adult to do something we’d have done it. migth not have been happy about it but we would’ve done it!

It’s not really that safe and they used a very vague description of “Minneapolis” that nobody in the area would describe as “Minneapolis”. They mostly got data and statistics from the various suburbs from the metro area and included Saint Paul and its suburbs as a part of “Minneapolis”. It would be akin to including Fort Worth and its suburbs as a suburb of Dallas and Dallas claiming itself to be the safest city in the Southwest.

Minneapolis, the city itself, is very dangerous and has only suffered a plummet in crime just because we’re running out of money and the Chicago, Indiana and Detroit welfare prospectors are going back home to their families in those areas. When the economy picks up again, you’re going to see the crime rate spike back up to normal rates. Jason Lewis discusses this on his show constantly.

It wasn’t a beat down more of me protecting my GF’s safety and a few cowards walking off after being shown resistance. But yeah, that’s all I’m going to say because in the city, they’re quick to label you as “violent” and “racist” if you show resistance to these animals, so that’s all I’m going to say.

C'mon, admit. You wanted them to hassle you. You needed the workout.

I don’t have to tell you to be careful out there. Thugs seem to have those banned weapons they can pull when they are out-”manned” you know.
Be careful please.
Good job on this one!
