Anyone Ever Been Mugged?

Posted: 4/5/05 at 5:47pm

Oy. Walking to the train downtown about an hour ago, someone asked me what time it was and than pulled a knife on me. My best friend and I always said that if someone has a knife and not a gun, than we would just run away which is what I did.

That was NOT what I needed today.

Oh geez, Matt, that's awful! *consolation hugs and pity gropes*

I've never been mugged, but I've almost been deliberately hit by a truck before! Does that make you feel any better? No?

Seriously though, that's terrible. Was it in a part with heavy pedestrian traffic? Did anyone see the guy? Did he chase after you?

Tiff, I remember that story. I think your experience was FAR worse than this.

Sorry, Matt. That really sucks. I personally have never been mugged, but I have friends who have. It sucks.

What part of town were you in?

I've noticed in NYC that during the Bloomberg occupation that the city has grown worse. I've seen some desperate drug addicts trying to get money.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Crime also goes up and down with the economy, Goth. And please don't tell me you're going to blame Bloomberg for that, too.

I was on 5th Avenue. And there were others who looked like they had a LOT more money than I had!

Who should I blame? It's his fault.

Sorry to hear Matt! I hope you didn't lose everything! I hated having to replace ALL the Cards and ALL the IDs...

I've never been mugged but my apartment was robbed and than recently my next-door neighbor surprised a burglar. It feels so awful!

Sorry to hear! I hope you went to the Police-- it helps to report it all!

Damn you, Bloomberg, for causing the entire national economy to enter a slump from which it is only now recovering!

I was mugged three times in three months. Twice with a knife and once with a gun. It's scary at first, but then fear is replaced with anger. I don't wish it on anyone.

A pox on your house Bloomberg for being more concerned about a stadium we don't need and Olympics in 2012 which we don't have the room or security measures for, than for attracting jobs for workers now.

I was mugged years ago, by the Delacort theater in Central Park, the same type of in-your-face approach, people walking their dogs 25 feet away. Dusk. They count on the stun and immediate action. If I look back on it, I could've just taken off. But the deer in the headlights thing kicks in. I had a fascinating end--two hours later, someone brought my wallet to my door (I lived on 86th at the time.) Everything was intact, even fortune cookie fortunes, excpet for 18 bucks.

More recently, circa 2001, I was accosted on West End with a scam/extortion type of mugging -- anyone know this: Someone bumps into you, then supposedly drops "expensive reading glasses" that are shattered and starts screaming at you to give him money to cover them. They are typical drug store specs of course, and the shattered look has been done with a hammer. This actually happened to me twice. Just walk away, and quickly. Don't engage.

Gosh, that is scary. I once had a gun pulled on me. I am so glad I didn't have any money on me because than the guy would have taken all I have. Than where would I be? But I was able to pull myself together and rather then go to a cop I ran home to post on my off-topic board because than I could feel amongst friends. I am glad you are safe.

PEACE.

I have been "mugged" non-violently in Cleveland. I just gotta go to the stage door down a dark street!

Papa, I've never once done anything to you. I'm sorry if I talked about what happened here instead of posting to one of the many threads discussing Dick size and alcohol.
