Got mugged. Broken Arm. MNG.
So... let's set the Wayback Machine to July 7, 2015.
I'm 5'8" and 115 pounds. I am a stick. I'm walking a block or two home with a case of Mountain Dew under each arm when two drunk, shambling, probably drugged out animals twice my weight (I'm sorry, they are not people, they are not "people of poverty", they are just fucking. animals.) cut me off. White boy in a black neighborhood? Yeeeeeeeah, kind of asking for trouble, but in the year I've lived here in Ohio, I've never had a problem until then. They shamble up and go "how mush you gut on you" before jumping me.
The first one put me in a choke hold after calling me a liar. "You goin' to schleep, boy." I had no cash on me; I use debit cards. I pound on the door of the (closed) business where they cornered me. "You aint in luck white boy... grab his legs!" --- the other shambling animal is too drugged out to react for more than a couple seconds, in which I was 50% to unconsciousness, I twist out, and try to throw myself into the street to make a scene. That is when I hear something go POP and I scream. The animals shambled off, but the cops never showed (It's a terrible neighborhood) despite a bystander calling 911 (and people driving by just kept driving).
Friend brings me to the hospital, I sit it out a day, then surgery. As basically a skeleton, I can feel the plates. NOT comfortable.
Total damage: Fractured humerus bone. Fractured ulna bone, dislocated elbow joint. My guess on recovery: 9 weeks with therapy thereafter. No sling, huge cast from above elbow to wrist.
Looking back, this could have gone much worse. If they had gotten my wallet out of my pocket only to see no cash I would have been beaten to a pulp at the very least. I got a bad break (literally) but it takes more than a shattered arm to take me out.
Never ever walking unarmed again.
I'll be getting back into BB shortly to keep my mind active.

Really sorry to hear that dude, don't let the bastards get you down.
Posted by Angmarred on 2015-07-11 21:19:42
That really sucks man. At least you seem to be keeping a positive attitude as that's all you can really do. GL with your recovery.

They sound almost as bad as those guys who don't say a word all game! ;)
Best wishes on your recovery.

And to think how that would have gone down If you were toting the steel hog of justice...
-Hyena: "Hello fellows. While I have no cash to share with you, I'd like to explain that it is in your best interest to run..."
-Sub humans charge...
-Hyena rolls 2+ to bring justice into action...
bb d6 = 3
-Sub humans make the last move of their life on this planet & grab Hyena
-Hyena shoves the hog of justice into the first punks ribs, and squeezes the trigger.
-As the first punk travels to the next world, the second punk realizes in utter horror his ultimate error...
-Hyena takes a bead on the 2nd punk, and says "Run or die fool."
-The second punk loses control of all bodily functions, then runs & cries for his mother
-FINAL SCORE: Hyena 1, Punks 0.

wow, hard to imagine that stuff like that actually happens... have a good recovery..
Posted by BillBrasky on 2015-07-11 23:00:40
Maybe hard to imagine in Europe...
Here, we have bred a criminal class that thrives on preying on law-abiding citizens, especially in places with gun-control laws (which only good citizens obey).
That would be a "wet-dream" scenario for me. I'd have been the first kid on my block with two confirmed kills. But then again, I'm bigger than two Hyena's, so maybe they wouldn't have tried me. Though I wouldn't have had to use my fighting skills. Mr. Glock would have won the day for me.

Martial arts training.....no matter your size, it will help :)
Posted by Calcium on 2015-07-12 00:58:15
gotta admit, it terrifies the hell out of me the mere thought of anyone carrying a firearm in public (or anywhere wlse) for protection - although being a Brit our exposure to firearms is zero, so I guess I'm ignorant of the pros/cons of this issue.....and ignorance is bliss in this case I think :)

Sorry to hear about the thugs and the injury when you almost got out of it. Just as well you didn't have a gun as in a place with guns they easily could too. Cue some homicide.
Europe not totally without thuggery though for sure.

Can we at least consider the positives? the mountain dew is safe (or drunken) and Aegis can now play LOTS moar bloodbowl! I mean... yeah. positivity!
Posted by Dunenzed on 2015-07-12 02:27:04
Totally, not sure how to rate this. It's a sucky experience that's for sure, but you're alive and on the mend.
These experiences happen all over the world, and we've had stories of this and worse happening to people within our fumbbl community, so you're not alone.
Do what you need to do to be strong and not be a victim. That might be talk about it with someone, it might be facing that same walk home again, it might be arming yourself. It might be none of these. Good luck.

'Merica. one of the only country were some place you can carry firearm. The country, from far, with the highest crime rate.
Yeah, carrying weapons bring you guys freedom.
'sight'...
What is worse is you all kinda come to this: gonna carry a gun so i'll be safe. What if next time they carry a gun? Well? You'll probly die...

i'm sorry for you tho, this should never happen. Education is the best weapon by the way. If amricans shut their brainwashing tv and open a bokk from time to time probly there would be less of that shit

Happygrue: nah, non-chatty opponents are worse than muggers and deserve to be mugged themselves.
garyt1: Unfortunately.
Lorebass: Play lots more, and SUCK lots more ;)
BobBifford: I feel unresponsible around guns. Maybe a walking stick or sharply pointed cane.

You need to roll more +str before taking on Black Orc Blockers.

If you're going to carry a weapon make damn sure you know how to use it. Worst case scenario is that it's taken from you and used against you.
Posted by JimmyFantastic on 2015-07-12 08:24:41
Pretty much everyone I know has been jumped at some point, UK sucks for low level violence like that. Good news you weren't shot or anything. All the best dude.
Posted by Patator on 2015-07-12 10:43:05
Sorry for you. It happens in every city, even in European even in a ****ing rich little city as Aix-en-Provence (100K inhabitants, rich neighbour of Marseille). For my luck the time it happened to me i had a little money, a cellphone and they weren't drunk so I just took a few punches, nothing more. But i was scared from a long time about this. I just couldn't help it. And martial arts only made me realize a fight without rules, 1 vs 2 is waaaaay too dangerous to be considered. The best option is running as fast as you can, but once again, you can't always do that. But with time and work on it (self work but also a little bit of short therapy called EMDR), I managed to put this behind me.
That being said i still have two things to say about your blog :
[i]"(I'm sorry, they are not people, they are not "people of poverty", they are just fucking. animals.)"[/i]
Animals dont do drug (or very few animals), even less booze. And they don't attack for the fun or because they need to let bad steam off, only for defending themselves or eating. This right there was 100% human stupidity. Every one of us have, somewhere, the possibility to be [i]that[/i] stupid and cruel.
[i]"Looking back, this could have gone much worse. If they had gotten my wallet out of my pocket only to see no cash I would have been beaten to a pulp at the very least. I got a bad break (literally) but it takes more than a shattered arm to take me out.
Never ever walking unarmed again."[/i]
Actually maybe give them you wallet and let them search you could have make them go easier on you, but with drunk violent people you never know. They probably wanted to hurt you anyway. Still it could have been worse : you could have been armed. And then what ? Do you think, by the time you drop your mountain dew you can take your gun, or worse, your knife (silent, feels more dangerous or traceable so more easily usable)? And then they see it and can take it...
So I really feel for you, this is just bad. It hurts, you are scared as hell and the feeling of being powerless is one of the worst i ever felt. And it's stays heavy on your shoulders even afterwards. But weapon wont help you in that situation. Numbers (never be alone in that kind of neighbour), caution (see that kind of guy coming and be ready to throw you dew at them then run, they are drunk, you're not, you should be able to outrun them) and self control (don't try to escape someone who locks one of your arms, hands or legs) can ease it.

And as an European, I personally don't think being armed is the right answer to this scenario. Put a gun into it and it could have gone way worse.

As a sidenote: carrying a gun would be nice in theory, the possible problems arising from it are:
1) if you use more force than the aggressor's you will have legal consequences (don't know exactly how is the law in USA but in Italy this is how our stupid law is, i.e. excess of self-defence);
2) if the aggressor snatches the weapon from the victim's hand he can use it against him/her with possible lethal consequences.

In the US, if you are in fear of serious bodily harm or death to yourself or another person, you are legally authorized to use deadly force.
This means, if you kill someone, tell the police you were in fear for your life, so you shot the joker 79 times.
It works every time, unless there is some evidence (like video) that goes against your statement.

@Hyena how about carrying mace (not a mace +1, but the spray)? Anyway, I wish you a speedy recovery.
Posted by Mr_Foulscumm on 2015-07-13 16:31:55
How about carrying a maze? Trap them and run away?
Hope you feel better Hyena, that sounds like it sucks a lot :(

Good luck with the recovery. Don't go for a gun, may I recommend a chainsaw that is a b*gger to start, a bag of unreliable explosives each with the word 'BOMB' written amusingly on them in white paint, a giant morning star that nobody could possibly lift or, if you want to mix it up a bit, a pogo stick!
