Ever been the victim of voilent crime ?

fastfredracing · 06-04-2020, 05:20 PM

My wife ( then gf ) and I , got robbed and beaten by 2 big black dudes at 4 am in her first floor apartment . They smashed through a window, punched me in my face before I was awake, then maced both of us. We both took a pretty good beating . I was a tough little white boy back then, and took it pretty well, but I was definitely out manned , maced, and beaten silly before I even got to wake up . The big dude was like a linebacker, and I was probably 165 pounds back then
I managed to fight my way out, and get the police , but it was close . Butt nekkid to boot . There was a minute , when I was curled up in the fetal position on the floor, getting kicked in the ribs by both of them where I remember thinking, " O.K. Fred, if you don't get out of here, you are going to die " I watched that big guy knock her out cold with one blow . Still haunts my memories sometimes .
For years, I had planned on how I was going to kill the big guy when he got out of Prison. I had 7 years to plan it . I stalked the guy for a bit, but I was doing pretty good in life by that time, and decided not to fk up my life with a murder charge . I gotta be honest though, I still dream of it sometimes . I knew where he lived as of about 5 years ago . I'm sure I could still find him . I think if I found out I was going to die from cancer , or illness, I would pay him a visit before I checked out .
The police told me that night, that they were sure the bigger guy was involved in a murder/ robbery at a dunkin donuts, but they could not make the charges stick .
Watching some of the videos of the recent violence kind of rushed back in some bad memories from that night
Needless to say, I have zero sympathy for any violent thugs , and no one will ever get that chance with me again . Sucked that it happened at her apartment. I would have had much better odds at my own place .
Got any stories you want to share ?

Jeez.

Someone keyed my car once.

For me only victimized once.

Marriage.

Stepmom back in Conn experienced a break-in and assault of the same type.
I've been in some incidents, but nothing like that.

I don't think I should share about mine here, LOL.

Just do it ✔

rusnak · 06-04-2020, 07:27 PM

I have to wait for the statute of limitations to run out LOL. Suffice to say the idiot punk got a good lesson in "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

Also Fred. You're a better man by not finishing him. That said I can justify drawing out the suffering if one was on palliative care.

Like the man in the movie said “A bit of pain never ‘urt anyone”

I got throw up against the front of liquor store when I was about 15. Bigger guy tried to rob me. I managed to throw him off an run into the store. I was terrified and said the the clerk, "Call the police". The clerk, this BIATCH college student said, "Don't tell me what to do".

Don't use a .357. The noise travels for miles.

I had the hell beat out of me many times when young. I did not like it.

I got assaulted and robbed for a small amount of money when I was driving cab many years ago. I still have a small scar on my eyebrow from the sucker punch.

Nothing even remotely as traumatic as what Fred went through, though. That is gnarly. I have two words for you, Fred; hunting rifle. Oh yeah, one more: scope.

Sorry to hear about that, Fred.

Fortunately, I've never been the target of violent crime (certainly nothing like what Fred described). I have been beaten / bullied when I was teen and came close in some events to getting seriously injured or worst but was lucky to avoid it.

I've had a few scrapes over the years but nothing like what Fred described. Thankfully in Fred's case they caught the bastards and they served time.

I know a woman that had her teeth smashed out by home invaders. They broke her BF's arm, smashed his head with a club and gave him brain damage. After all that they had the wrong house, drug related. Eight years later she's still suffering anxiety from the crime and can't work.

The info about the thugs past Fred got from the Police?
... I really don't know what I would have done if the same thing happened to me. Or maybe I do but I wouldn't write that on a public forum.

Wow Fred. Boils my kettle to read about your experience.

30 years ago wife was stopped at traffic lights in my car. It was a Holden HJ Monaro that was pretty hot. Two Aboriginal guys decided they wanted to test drive it. One opened the door, while the other punched her in the face breaking her nose, and breaking two front teeth. She put up a fight and manged to punch one in the face. The next guy suckered her, and knocked her out cold. They got in the car and took off.
Two guys saw what was going on from across the road and took off after them. They followed them to a house 15mins away. They came back and got the cops who were on the scene by then. They got the two dudes. The one my wife hit had a cut above his eye that was bleeding big time. The Mrs had to have surgery to correct nose and both teeth fixed. Got the car back as well.

I've had a number of beatings as a teen and in my 20's for being white.

I don't start trouble but I fair dish it out to anyone who attacks me.

I'm as woke as the next guy. In fact my best buddy is Samoan. But statistically speaking in NZ a white guy is 62 times more likely to be assaulted by a black guy than the other way around.

Even in this short thread there seems to be a pattern emerging..

My next stint was at home. Six Somali boys move in next door. Rental house. First few days...quiet. Then all the friends start rocking up at all hours. Music blaring etc. One weeknight at 2.00am they're out in the street kicking a ball around and making a hell of a racket. I go out and ask them to kindly take it to the park a few hundred metres away. We all have work in the morning. Next thing....bang...I'm suckered and on the ground with a broken nose. Blood pissing out, I get up and start fighting as I'm taking hits and kicks. My adult sons make their way outside and start punching on. 17 vs 3. Cops pull up and they scatter.
I run through my camera footage to show the cops I went out there to politely ask them to move on. The cops call me the aggressor for approaching them.
Next day the same guys are out the front as my son pulls up. They all start mouthing off. He makes a call to biker friend. Within minutes you could the hear the Harleys coming. Twenty of them. All with their patches on. They all pull up and start talking to my son. The next day the Somalis are packing up and leaving.
Two rounds of surgery and my nose is fixed.
