Assault stories? heres mine

[CombatGrappler]

Wow, for a second there I thought I was at the Practical-Tactical forum over on BF. Gooooooooooooooo, ninjas!

[tonydahose]

Let me guess... that was during your naked freefall over newyork from 5000 feet, while being persued by the canadian special forces.... :p :p :p

you forgot the part about one arm being tied behind his back too. :D

[AllenETreat]

Never had to use a knife for self-defense...

Situational awareness is the best tool you can initially possess.

JimD -

That sum's it up. Good awareness about one's situation / surroundings
percludes having to use a knife or brute force.

Jerry Van Cook of tactical knives magazine would agree.

AET

Lets see...this month alone I was attacked by over three hundred people...all were random attacks....I was shot at 52 times, 51 of them were all misses...(criminals have terrible aim) The one time I was hit...I took 10 rounds of 9mm to the chest, was shot twice in the back with a .44 magnum and took one blast from a shotgun slug to the head...but was able to pull at least three different knives and fend off my attackers, the doctors say the slug in my head is too close to my brain so they want to leave it there....I had a friend remove it with his Spydersaw...cept for the zig zag line in my forehead I'm feeling fine....Ten hoodlums with knives robbed me at a bus stop, because of my advanced Kung Fu training I was able to avoid getting cut using fancy footwork...one did manage to cut both of my suspenders and my pants fell down.... one look at my spyderman briefs sent them running in all directions....A band of small girls, ages two thru five, (most likely a gang) kicked me in my shins and I fell to the ground while waiting in line at Toys "R" Us....they stole my money and drove off in my Hummer...sometimes when the people who attack you are soooo ruthless you have to give them what they want and not put up a fuss....just be glad you are alive......I may never walk again from those injuried sustained to my shins.....Doc :p

Another good one Doc!

I haven't been through nearly as much as JimD or other cops and military guys, but I've been:

Shot at (4 times)
Stabbed at (several times)
Bats swung at me (once)
My skull cracked open with a metal pipe
Scratched from broken bottles (someone trying to stab at me)
Jumped by 10+ people (kickes to the back and head)

I have several old friends who have been murdered or close to it, so I can't complain. Just some of the things that happen when growing up in a high crime area.

I'm guessing you live in Oakland?

[KaliGman]

Doc, don't say I didn't warn you. You know I sent you the intel report on the Canadian Midget Commandos. They ALWAYS pull that same stupid little girl routine. Why, just the other day when I was in Canada working on their Weapon X Project, I was forced to shred a few of the phony little tykes after they got into the battalion's Bushmills supply, drank enough single malt whiskey to float the Bismarck, and became decidedly unruly. Cheeky devils! :p

Seriously, most of us who work in law enforcement have been assaulted. Most of us aren't going to give you the "There I was, surrounded in the dark, deadly jungles of the Congo" war story on the incidents either, especially on a forum. After dinner, with friends who have also been there, done that, and have the T-shirt, maybe. A really bare bones description of the incident for educational purposes if someone here asks a pertinent question and the story might help someone out, also maybe.

[tonydahose]

and have the T-shirt

i never got a freakin T-shirt :mad:























:p

[Kaizen]

RIOT,

I moved out several years ago. It's really not as bad as it sounds, my ego got me in a lot of trouble. I didn't move out because of the crime either. People didn't mess with me much when I stopped acting stupid. What a coincidence. Once I got my mind wrapped around the idea that I was willing to go to an extreme at any given moment, I wasn't so paranoid and didn't feel like I had to prove anything to anyone anymore.

LouDog5446,

Yup, grew up in East Oakland (20s/ "Murders", Funktown). I stay in Dublin right now. It's pretty funny though, I didn't realize how much I was mentally prepared just in case something were to happen (not really paranoid), until I noticed one day in Dublin how much more relaxed I was.

Doc Snub,

Funny stuff. I was going to add the times when swords or brick throwing were involved, but I figured the list seemed pretty mall ninja-ish already. :p

[Bolster]

Yeah it might have been those Canadian special forces...I always confuse them with the gang of little girls....LOL.Doc :D :p

Howling with laughter!!

[The Mastiff]

My dog tried to steal my food one time when I went in the kitchen to grab a soda. After several years of therapy I got up the nerve to confront him about it. He just denied it so now I steal the neighbors paper every sunday. :o Joe

[Simple Man]

Well, I was once in a foray that featured fish.
