Have you ever been Mugged/ Attacked in the street?

Woa is his eyesight okay?

won't they sort of go for you because you got out of their way though? Like it shows your scared, damned if you do damned if you don't sort of thing. I'll admit I'm pretty weak so I usually try and smooth talk my way out of rough spots, it has worked before, but it won't always obviously.

I don't think the areas we're going are too rough and we're trying to catch buses and stuff so we're not walking down streets for ages that we don't know.

We're staying in a flat in West Kensington, will probably go to the Westfields shopping centre in Shepherds bush. Possibly go to Hammersmith, but we might not. Then maybe Camden market. Otherwise it'll be more in the centre, Natural History Museum, London Aquarium, maybe London zoo etc.

I suppose Nottingham isn't exactly safe and I've never been mugged/attacked in the centre city. Just keep clear of those who are standing around yelling and obviously drunk. I've only had hassle in Beeston and that's meant to be more student area. Though so many pubs in such a small proximity leads to brawls outside, used to have an ambulance parked up every evening just in case, not so much any more, it's getting too expensive to drink out every night I guess.

At the time I just got really REALLY angry and started fighting back until more people turned up and then they ran away. When they were gone my friend was looking at me like
I didn't cry until my mum saw me and started crying..

Awwwww!
Not many ppl would take a beating for a friend.
Why'd they attack him anyway?

I was once politely mugged... Two notorious brothers, one in particular, of the area approached me at a bus stop and said they had no money for the train. They asked whether I could spare them some change (it wasn't even a large amount), and I, being aware of their reputations, readily obliged. So I wasn't exactly forced to hand over the money, but if I had refused, I think there would have been some ugly repercussions. They did seem genuinely grateful, though, and they actually thanked me — which was nice.

A few years later I heard they were imprisoned for kidnapping and torturing, with a BB gun, a Pakistani fella...

They took offence to his long hair.

One of my mates Dad was once jumped by 6 guys, not realizing he was a Jujitsu world champion. Needless to say by the end of it there were 6 people in a lot of pain.

Aha.

How long could it have been?

I'm 6'2 and 220 lbs of muscle. No one in their right mind would dare attack me.

When I was 10 or 11, me, my little sister (who must have been 8 at the time) and my older brother (he must have been 12 or 13) got threatened with a pen knife by some older teenagers (they must have been something like 15). They also kept holding a cigarette menacingly close to my little sister's hair. They weren't trying to get anything off us, just following us and being really intimidating and saying stuff.

Eventually they got bored and left us alone and we went home and told my mum and dad who called the police. My brother knew who they were so they tracked them down, but can't remember what came of it, think they just got cautions and the knives confiscated.

Then I woke up from this fantasy that wouldn't even take place in my wildest dreams
