[Altura Ct.]

A Navy veteran studying at Boston University is in the hospital after he was attacked early Saturday morning near his apartment, according to police and a family member of the beating victim.

Police say Michael Stinnett was at Beacon Street and Park Drive in Boston when he was attacked by three people who had been driving by in a dark car.

Stinnett, who served eight years as a Navy weapons instructor, told police the car stopped after he yelled at the driver to slow down.

A witness told Boston Police that three black males got out of the car and began fighting with Stinnett.

Stinnett suffered a brain bleed, along with several bumps and bruises, according to a family member. He was taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital for treatment.

Police are asking any witnesses to the incident to get contact them.

I guess a weapons instructor can’t carry in MA.

Carry!

Always Carry!

You are responsible for your own protection!

Are you going to worry about “laws” in MA or on campus?

Or, are you going to be responsible for your own safety?

Judged by 12 vs carried by six - or something like that...

the car stopped after he yelled at the driver to slow down.

Challenge a group of punks, chances are you'll get your ass kicked. No excuse, but that's the way it usually is.

[JimRed]

Heaven knows how many times I’ve risked my health and life yelling at drivers to slow down...but that could work as a “bait” situation, too. Yell at them to slow down, and when they jump out for the beatdown reveal your concealed weapon. They’ll probably hurt themselves scrambling back to the vehicle or crash into something trying to drive away!
