It’s probably been more than ten years since I got mugged but it happened again late last month. I was walking home from dinner with a friend around 9:30 pm and it’s just a ten minute walk so I didn’t want to cab it and I didn’t want to head down the main Ave so I walked down a quieter residential street instead.
About four blocks from my place, this little fucker comes up to me and says "give me your money". I almost cracked up when he said that (he was probably 20yo, no more than 5’9 and about half my size) but... he held a 4x1" knife up against my waist. And within seconds, two other little fuckers surrounded me with the same kind of knife (can’t remember what they’re called but it’s supposedly the knife of choice for thugs). I’ve always said that someone tried to mug me; I’d beat the living crap out of them. Guess I was wrong about that. So much for being a tough guy... Anyway, I got my wallet out and quickly pulled out the cash I had and said "here, that’s all I’ve got". I just didn’t want them to take my entire wallet with my driver’s license and credit cards and all that stuff. I have no idea if I gave them $5 or $50 but I never carry that much cash in my wallet so no big deal.
I was completely calm the entire time and the three of them were nervous as all hell and ran once they got the money. I continued to walk down the street, called my friend who I just had dinner with and told him that I got mugged. I then walked into the convenience store next to my place, got money out of the ATM and bought Affrin and some soda. Walked up to my place, took the dog out for a two-minute walk and THEN called the cops. Good thinking on my part, huh? They wanted me to ride with them in their cruiser to see if they could find the bastards but I told them that it was more than 20 minutes ago and probably useless.
Here’s what I’ve decided to do. I’m now walking my 85# dog around those blocks EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I KNOW that I’d recognize at least one of the kids. And if I do, he’d better stay put and wait for the cops or I’ll threaten him with the dog and prepare to pack a punch, knife or no knife. My dog is the sweetest guy on the planet, he’d give an ax murderer unconditional love, but he WOULD sink his teeth into anyone who'd try to hurt ME.
I'm so going to get 'em fuckers.
To be continued... Stay tuned...
