Sorry, but society has been that way for years. Long before you or I were born even. And it's going to be that way after we're both dead too. There is no way to end human cruelty and brutality. It's terrible and sad, but I for one believe that it's true.Atheist. said:How fucked up are the times we live in that random people seriously attempt to kill someone for shoes and a damn wallet?
Twenty feet is definitely doable. I have done it in the past as a teenager. Perhaps I should throw out This Link . Some random drunk dude falling 50 feet, compared to a sober guy jumping 20. Which seems safer?Hvitedod said:20 feet... About 6 meters, right? So, you'd be hitting that train at about... 30 km/h. Ought to break a leg, hitting hard surface you can't even roll on to lessen the impact force.
No. That's not how the world works. Certain people have a duty to assume truth (emergency operators -- 911, 000 -- who must legally take every single call they get seriously, no matter how many times you prank them) but for your average person, doubt is common sense. Or are you going to believe anything I tell you so long as you have no evidence I'm lying?Atheist. said:Doubting someone should never happen unless you have factual reason not to. Otherwise, apparently we're saying fuck you to any victim without a witness. Including a multitude of serial killers.
I agree in some respect, but you're basically promoting crime. In my situation, a five versus one, which side do you think the police will take? Your stance is of the people are innocent unless proven guilty. Sadly this is the way America has gone. Sitting in jail/prison for a crime you did not commit, and then getting nothing when you were innocent. Fuck that.Snowy Rainbow said:No. That's not how the world works.

A con-artists wet dream.
Pretty fucked up when you think about those people who were mugged/killed for the iPhone they had.....Atheist. said:How fucked up are the times we live in that random people seriously attempt to kill someone for shoes and a damn wallet?
I've never been mugged--almost was in downtown Chicago, but I walked away. I have to say: you are a badass. I bet (assuming that that pic isn't you) you look like this:Atheist. said:I was walking home last night and saw a group of people that approached me. They literally stole my shoes and were about to steal my wallet and throw me off this bridge. I got out of their control and managed to jump off it and land on a train.

Has anyone else had an experience being mugged, or attempted mugging? I'm fairly proficient in Krav Maga. But taking on five people at once is quite difficult. I managed to submit the big guy, but some other dude repeatedly punched me in the head until I retreated.
I jumped off a 30 foot bridge, on to a train, so about a 20 foot drop. Jumped off, and walked home 4 miles in my socks. Sorry for the profanity, but I seriously think this is messed up.
Alright, I don't really care. Not trying to be a dick, but this was in a familiar location. I know the bridge height, and I'm not trying to brag. While 20 feet is a decent drop, it's not life threatening. Either you're misinformed, or you're calling me a liar. Either way, you're disrespectful. I wouldn't be an ass to you if you got mugged, why the hell are you doing it to me? Are you seriously such a bad person you'd pick on a crime victim?gamezombieghgh said:Sorry, but I simply don't believe that you are judging this right, as do a lot of other people.

They left you alone because you smelled didn't they? They just walked up and were like GIVE ME ALL YOU'RE- Oh god no... just no... keep it, I mean its ok, its yours ugh nauseous... dieing... Sorry thats just what came to mind I had toAkytalusia said:no, i haven't been mugged before. though i have been approached by individuals on 2 seperate occations that vocally expressed intentions to behave in such a manner. in both situations however, upon entering my proximity, they had a sudden mysterious change of heart and left me alone.
I assumed this was coming up. Fighting with no weapons against a group of five people is difficult no matter what you are trained in. Especially considering one person is 6'5 270 pounds, and another is slightly under this. Take into consideration I'm a 180 lb 5'11-6'0 male.Appleshampoo said:I can't help but be sceptical too. You say you take know Krav Maga? Isn't that the one fighting style pretty much made to brutally end a fight as quickly as possible, and it specialises in multiple opponents? And you happen to know some free running too, since you can survive a pretty large fall with no shoes on.
My question is this - Why didn't you just beat them down, then do some free running flips to victory?
That's awesome.omega_peaches said:I learned recently that my uncle is the biggest badass ever.
I shit you not, he was walking out of a bar, and a guy stabbed him, and he took the knife out, and stabbed him back.
If you don't believe me, fine, but you are wrong.
