Protect yourself at all times. Never turn tour back on anyone your having words with, let alone some thug with a pipe who's intent upon getting close enough to use it on you.


+1 Glad you didn't get your ticket punched.

 

Some of these recommendations sounding familiar Josiah

 

Well I can say the, "Been there done that". Although I've never went to look for it like that. Well not really... hehe

I will probably sound like an asshat here, but if you keep egging it on it wont be over. Let him talk smack and brag about putting you in the hospital. So what! Is that worth dieing for? Is that worth your GF getting hurt or killed over?

Lesson to be learned here is, If it's worth fighting for, then make sure it's worth dieing for. Worst thing I could possiablly imagine more than dieing would be someone I loved or cared about getting hurt or dieing because of me.

Welcome to the grown up world, this isn't little high school kids sparing in the school yard anymore.
There are no rules, there are no refrees, no teachers to break it up, cops are rarely going to be there. "Hint: They planned it where there wouldn't be cops around."

If you were not there willing to do what ever it took to get your job done then you shouldn't have went there. You obviously were not ready to kill this punk. So what was your goal? What did you expect to happen when you walked into this? Sounds like you expected to smack him around a little bit and it all be over, this isn't high school.

Lesson #2 Never turn your back while any enemy or potential enemy is still standing. Even if you don't kill them make sure to break thier legs or something to immobilize them all. Use a stick, pipe hammer, rock or waht ever it takes. But if you don't kill them then be prepared to leave town, because they will heal and come for you again.

Been there done that time... Best thing now is distance, keep plenty of it, don't press charges, don't involve the law anymore than you have to, don't talk smack to anyone about it. Most of all, don't fight unless your willing to kill or die.

Glad you learned all this the easy way, many die before they get to learn it.

 

Boofreakinhoo.

 

Josiah, I feel for you man. I know exactly what you were thinking and why you re-acted the way you did. I'd just find some better friends and like everyone said, try not to associate with the bad. Its easier said than done, I know. Don't take my words of advice the wrong way because Im only trying to help out. Im just glad that you're still here to talk and tell us the story. Hopefully, it'll be done and over with so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Get better bro!!

Are you kidding me? I don't think you should even post anymore.

 

don't take it that way.

we're not here to be your Dad. Think of us more like older brothers when we pass on our thoughts.

We dont think any less of you as a person. What we say is more out of concern in you not getting seriously hurt in future.


If one or 2 want to sit here and pass judgement, screw 'em. The rest of us do really care.

 

Thump & J-150, I really appreciate those posts and hope you know that. I understand what the both of you are saying and it's well appreciated and not overlooked. Definitely not friends I should be around any longer. J-150, definitely what this portion of the site is about to me. A great place to share our lives and come to when in need of advice, thanks.

And Mike, it definitely does

 

Josiah, while I am glad to hear that you are OK, I really have to agree with Patrick here. Wrong crowd to hang out with if you want to become an old fart someday.

 

Naw, I kind of agree with tbizzle. I'm glad J is ok for the most part, atleast no broken bones and still breathing. Just a few lumps and cuts, but J picked a fight with someone with a mean streak quite a bit bigger than his. I really can't feel to sorry, because he did pick it.

Not to sound cold but soon as started throwing a fit about the weapon, I was snickering a little bit.

 

Damn dude, big lesson there learned. Never turn your back on people like that, even if you think it's over. It might look cool in the movies, but in real life it doesn't work.

I gotta get you up here and teach you some lessons. Turn your back on an opponent like this, and you're really fubar'd!



Glad you're okay. I went through some of the same crap when I was a wee chit. My mom actually sent me to live with my grandmother a few hundred miles away right after highschool got out. I still have a bunch of the articles from the newspaper when all of it was going down. I thought it was cool then, but now that I look back on it I'm lucky things didn't escelate more.

Oh yea, we need better pictures of the battle scars.

 

Well, I'm not giving advice because you have already gotten plenty. I just hope you feel better soon.

 

If I was unarmed all he'd see was my butt hole and elbows. I'd be in the next county before he got the first snort out.

I got chased by one of those once, closest and only tree was 150 yards away. First limp on that tree was 15' off the ground. Screw it, I jumped for it! Of course I missed it...


But I caught it on the way back down. LOL

Who knew those things could climb too?!? LMAO

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week, dont forget to tip your waitress on the way out.

Take care of yourself kid....growing old sucks but it's better than the alternative.

 

Before I go I just want to clarify the story as it was taken off course. I don't remember much after I saw the weapon in his hand (when I was hit, it happened well over 10 secs later too). From what I can collect he was walking away after it was being called as squashed before something bad happened, I'd never just turn my back, it was his brother who blindsided me. I'm near certain I did not turn my back on Jake, but it was hard to keep track in a dark park of everyone. Things happen, but nearly putting someone into a coma because you simply can't hold your own is not something to "chuckle" over, has nothing to do with whether or not I had enough anger, was able to fight or had good enough friends. This guy came there with those intentions and it's harder to stop those things from happening than it is to commit them, especially when his brother was well aware of the plan and we weren't. I have no shortage of friends who want to put a hurting on this guy but that's not the smartest plan I have just yet, for all I know he might be carrying his .44 with him like before. Many are right, it definitely is time for a change in my surroundings.

 

Bro leave no good deed undone...an eye for an eye, whatever. If you were here i'd take off my belt and put you over my knee for a bit. But i would seek all avenues of revenge. There is just no F-in way somebody would do me damage like that and not have pay for it in some way. Pick a time and a place
extinguish him for the human race... good luck and seek new hangouts,,,
