- NEW!

The most recent was when a fight broke out at a bar we were at. Some gangbangers showed up there just to cause problems. I wanted to get out before they pulled their guns and started shooting people. Good thing we did, because that is exactly what they did.

Once because I/we wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Another had to get gas in East St Louis and it was made very clear I was not welcome there to buy their gas. And another time...this was the worst, I went to visit my best friend who lived in Watts and was the *only* white guy living there in that neighborhood! They knew him but when I had to wait at the corner gas station to meet him, I felt like what Reginald Denny must have felt like and my buddy showed up just in time to save my ass from the same fate!

Yes, when I was 14 and working in a city runned summer job program. There was a gang of girls and one of them went after another girl with a knife. No one said anything to the director for fear the girls would come after them later. We all came from the same neighborhood so it would be hard to hide from them. I just left before they decided to get their kicks by beating me up.

Nope. I've always led a sheltered life and hung out with non-violent people. I don't go to bars or soccer matches or anyplace where testosterone-infected people who are drunk hang out...especially places where carrying loaded guns is a mark of macho macho macho man like Teaparty Rallies or Town Hall meetings! :(

Yes I put up with it for far to long. Then as soon as it was possible I put the wheels in motion and escaped the dreadful existence.

..just the threat? what do you think about threats in a relationship?
by doesnotmakesenseatall on November 13th, 2009
Almost daily, atleast once. *shrugs*

I would never leave, I would rather get beaten up or even shot to death than leave a confrontation

These days my friend, it is better to turn the other cheek and quietly withdraw. In days gone past, you saw someone getting a raw deal you would, or could, step in. Today, it would most probably mean a bashing for yourself without any help. The STREET says mind your own business if you don't want more trouble than you could ever handle.

Yeah, protests. Cops don't like that very much
when were you last bitch slapped?
