I was awoken suddenly by 2 very hostile sounding voices and when I opened my eyes I was facing the barrel of an automatic pistol. The 2 men both talking bad english said for me to give them my money. Knowing immediately that I was in a desperate situation I told them I would comply. Thinking my life was going to end soon I sort of went into a panic mode and grabbed my Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri machete type knife ( about 15 inches in length) and immediately went into a rage. One of the perpetrators tried to open my truck door at the same time and did begin to come into the cab and I took a swing a him and he barely dodge the edge of that blade. That guy did have some type of a knife on him and I did catch a glimpse of it but everything happened so fast I can't really say if it was a folder or fixed blade.
I then at that instant went forward and went after both of the scumbags only armed with the Gurkha knife thinking that I only had a slim chance of defending myself and would probably ultimately get shot in the process. Much to my pleasant surprise both men at that time immediately fled at a rather rapid rate and put a lot of distance between themselves and me. I was yelling at them at the top of my lungs and acting like I was losing it and I truly believe I scared the **** out of them and turned the tables in my favor. The guy with the gun ran around to the other side of the truck which really amazed me and the other guy lunged toward me with what he had and I immediately went after him with the Gurkha Kukri trying my best to do all the damage to him I could. He just barely dodged the full force of my Gurkha which deeply disappointed me. He was fast because I thought for sure I was going to make blade contact with the dirtbag on that attempt. The guy with the gun then went behind a trash dumpster on the other side of my truck but kept the gun aimed at me. At this point I was shocked and surprised that he hadn't shot at me yet.
I then ran toward my buddy's van which he was sleeping in very close to my truck. I then went and beat on the side of his van with the Gurkha and he awoke quickly and barreled out of the side door with a weapon of his own. At that point the 2 perpetrators went into "coward mode" and both fled immediately. At that point my buddy told me that I was bleeding profusely and I looked at my left hand and sure enough my thumb on my left hand had been cut deeply. Again I did see scumbag #2 with a knife but I didn't remember seeing him using it on me but it all happened so unbelievably fast that it still has me somewhat shook up almost days after the fact. But the scumbag must have got lucky and laid a cut on me because he obviously cut me pretty deep on that thumb and we went to an emergency room here in Kansas City. I had 3 emergency room doctors attend to my wound right away.
Again I'm still very shook up over the incident and my anger level is the worst it's been in years :mad: . The streetlight was so well lit that I can easily identify them if I see them again. Let me tell you folks when stuff like this happens to you it's really a harrowing experience needless to say. We are living in very dangerous times folks and we all need to be very alert and ready at all times. I thank GOD above for directing my mind to do the right thing to save my life. I thank my buddy for getting me medical attention as fast as he did. Crime is real folks and don't think for one second that it can't happen to you or yours.
