The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

It's all good. No vital organs hit thankfully. Just a a 4-5 inch gash on my left side. I am just fortunate nothing vital was hit as the blade went in about two inches at one point. He was trying to go for my heart as I grabbed his arm and we grappled with on another. The knife got knocked down and he panicked and broke away. The mugger was taken down by people who saw what happened and he is now sitting in a holding cell.

My Absu shirt is ruined. Pissed about that.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Glad you made it through that dude. Fuck.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

The shock of what occurred will hit me by tomorrow, but I am still breathing so I am content.

 

[damnromulans]

GODDAMN glad you made it out alive. I think when you "come to" the biggest complaint will still be your Absu shirt.

N'AWWWW thanks dudes, bro-hug blah blah blah

 

[The Butt]

Holy fuck man. :/ Bummer about the shirt... but all that matters is that yer alright.

I was stabbed this evening during a botched mugging. Gnarly pictures to follow tomorrow when I'm not doped up and can actually handle getting pictures form my phone to my computer.

This post took me 5 mins to write.

shit dude! glad to hear your okay, you should find that foo' and blow up his car. or house. or something

 

[Episteme]

Fuck! Glad that you're okay after such an event.

You're wrong, if anything your shirt was made better. That shirt has seen some serious shit. Your shirt is literally more "hardcore" than half the people on the planet now.

Glad you're alright though. Was it a tweaker that attacked you?

 

[The Butt]

Yeah, the shirt now has battle-scars. Sew it up and it should look badass.

 

[King Richard]

Nice survival techniques my friend. From now on you should probably roll around strapped you know? Instances like this make gun fans look pretty smart tbh.

 

[Mort Divine]

No they don't. Chances are the guy didn't just charge at him from a distance with the knife out, so its not like he would have had ample time to react to grab the gun, and having the gun poses as much a risk to himself than it does the attacker.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Eh, I still don't think I'd go around strapped after this experience. As for the mugger, he was a whitey who was drunk. I have actually seen him before as he hangs around the strip mall where my bank atm is located. It's been a while, but my basic training experience flooded into my mind as I was dealing with the situation. Go for the arm holding the weapon, try and break the grip, used my other arm to elbow him in the face, etc. It all happened in a flash.

My point was, when he decided to run away you could have popped him in the back of the head and claimed self defense.

 

[Mort Divine]

And, while not legally considered one, become a murderer.

 

[skeptik]

Yeah, that's not exactly the most compelling defense of gun rights.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Killing someone is often done before you think about the ramifications of your actions. I have gone through the process before and I don't think I'd ever want to go through it again. I'm not mentally wired to do it like some of the other people I served with were/are.

I have a difficult time even being around guns these days, much less wielding one.

Legal shmegal.

Probably not.

Fair enough.

 

[cookiecutter]

Glad to hear you're alright Morgenstern

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Thank guys. Just had a policeman stop by and go over a few notes. The guy us going up against some serious charges and will be put away for a very long time when convicted due to priors, i.e. 10-15 years minimum.

 

[The Emptier]

Glad you're ok!
