I'm not mad as it is my fault for the way others perceive my writing but you're focusing on the fact that it was over a phonecall he made saying I cheated and trying to be a "tuff guy" for my girlfriend. You are reading me really wrong, I have nothing to prove to her. That had nothing to do with it, I did a lot to avoid this and it's surprising he still had the nerve to drag it out of me. I did not call this guy up, I told a couple friends while they were over I thought it was him who made the call, let them listen to the message he left and they agreed it has to be him. It got back to him and he's someone who is constantly trying to maintain his image, so he called me the first time he heard about it and left a message saying I should watch what I say. Second time someone told him, he called me and words were exchanged after he said he'd like to meet me at the park (I was being reasonable at first). I was not "immature" no matter how you put it, I believe I carried myself pretty well minus the fight earlier that morning (useless reasoning, lost an "ok" friend because of it).

About the .44 he shows off, I made the mistake of doubting how far he'd take it, if he can take a pipe to my head over a lost fight I doubt he'd hesitate using the gun. I'm doing what I can so I do not lose my life over a rediculous hurdle in my life but the phonecalls are daily, and the tension is a constant reminder. If we see one another it's not going to turn out well, he is still trying to prove himself. For now I keep the bat in my truck, I'm through with this 1on1 thing with him. It's only going to happen if I'm forced into it again...hopefully these cops do something about this before it's too late, I have not heard from them since that night and nothing has been done. It's the second time I've been jumped in the past 2 years and I'm hoping the last...I feel too old (even at 18) to be stuck with so much drama.

 

Do you have any friends or relatives in another state? Somewhere far away? Druggies and drug dealers are not people to mess with, or actually live around. I suggest you get the hell away from there while you still can.

You know he has friends too. Remember... Birds of a feather flock together. As dumb as it sounds, it's the truth. If you see him again, pay close attention to who he's with.

The heat is already on man. This dude has actually said he wants to kill you, and has already tried to kill you. You got lucky and he failed. There problably will be a "next time". Use your head and get out of there! Get in your truck and don't come back!

You sound like a really good guy. You don't deserve to live around people like that. Like I said, it might sound like the wimpy micheal jackson thing to do, but what else are you gonna do? You got two options...Stoop to his level and use deadly force, or... just walk away from it.

You just never know how this stuff is going to work out. Just like you didn't know you would end up in the ER.

I suggest not getting the police involved because even if they nail him, he'll get out and he'll be back. Back on a war path to take you out if you stay there. Problably him and a bunch of his druggy *** pals will jump you. And it will keep going on that way unless you do one of the two things I outlined in bold letters a couple of paragraphs up.

I'm not your Dad, and I can't tell you what to do. But I hope you open your eyes and just walk away, and seek a better place to live. If you stay and face the music...you have my prayers.

 

How did I miss this?
You should write books dude. The Misadventures of Josiah.
I could see that being quite lucrative given your track record. Glad to hear you're OK though.

 

:o

Peacemaker, I really appreciate the response and was kind of you to take the time. 2 uncle's have volunteered to help me if the time came where I need a place to lay low for a while but I cannot take that offer, period. It definitely puts pressure on me to move somewhere new and get away from this, sucks to leave everything behind but it's more than just crossing my mind at this point. They finally interviewed the guy I was with who carried the bat/bar and sent them running. They told him he's going to have to appear in court so I'm assuming thats where I am headed, fine by me. Hopefully it will end things, if not I'm gone. You're absolutely right, not worth it. Turns out he has a record (of course), one of the charges was for hitting his dad repeatedly in the head...with nothing other than a pipe.

 

Your doing the right thing. Sounds like that dude has some DEEP problems that go way back. Glad to hear they're finally getting somewhere with this. Stay low until you see what happens with him, and don't talk to anyone about him or the what happened unless your in court in front of a judge to hear it. If that don't work, I'd seriously suggest moving. I know it's hard, but you have to look out for yourself man. Who knows? Moving somewhere else might open your door to a brighter future? Good luck bro. Prayers are sent your way.

 

I really appreciate that. I can definitely use'em.

 

yeah get out of town befor somthing happens to your truck I want your truck sooo bad

 

Its listed on ebay right now.

 

I hope one of your Uncle's is Jamzwayne... That's not a cat they'd want to tangle with, with no law enforcement aroudn to break it up!

Just kidding!

Good luck with that; hope those sum******s, spend a few years in a Federal "Pound them in the ***" Prison.

 

 

I have been puttin up with that same kind of crap since 8th grade with some guys from another school. let me tell you this, it's not gonna stop until you get out of there. those kind of people have nothin better to do than try to start crap with you over whatever reason they can find. glad your ok though.

 

Hey Josiah..maybe just split for a semester...let it cool off, and then come back and test the waters.

In the meantime, I would call the police ASAP and notify them of the harrassment. The more you have it documented that threats are being made on your life the more the police will have to do to protect you.

Play this safe man, better safe than sorry, you only get ONE life.

My Dad has several rental properties..if **** hits the fan you could come hit the nice JC scene down here in San Diego and grab a cheap place to live for a few months.

 

I appreciate the offer whether it's serious or not, I'm really considering moving outta here.

 

I haven't posted anything in this thread because I had nothing constructive to say. I think I'll post a snippet...

You are way to young to jack your life up like this. Get out of that situation & fast & get yourself some new friends. You may want to consider re-evaluating the situation with the GF as well. No matter what the testosterone guys tell you, DON'T go back after the guy. You will end up in a closed casket if you take that route.

If you are as put together as the email you sent me several months ago suggested, you seem like a smart guy. Don't let this event define what you do with yourself, rise above it and move on.

KC-10 FE out...

 

J' you could always come out here for a little while. Jersey Rocks
