Even when I worked in Dallas, I had always rehearsed self defense with my bike lock, if necessary.

2018-08-04 03:30:03 UTC  

Kind of a bike courier thing to do.

2018-08-04 03:30:27 UTC  

Thats a thing? Using a bikelock specifically?

2018-08-04 03:30:56 UTC  

I mean, I was doing that before Eric Clanton used one.

2018-08-04 03:32:39 UTC  

Yeah, I got attacked by a group of 'youths'. There had been a rash of attacks on the Metro, people getting attacked by groups of kids basically playing the Knockout game.

2018-08-04 03:33:51 UTC  

Well, I was apparently one of the contestants in this game. I was on a pizza delivery, working late Christmas eve for a bonus with Postmates

2018-08-04 03:35:48 UTC  

group of black kids walking up from the station from Chinatown on H street (actual H street, not the H street that's actually F street where the Spy Museum is, though you still get to Chinatown Station from across the street from that museum....)

2018-08-04 03:36:32 UTC  

Ironically, if I had've seen them and chosen to cross the street, I wouldn't have gotten attacked.

2018-08-04 03:36:51 UTC  

but instead, I thought nothing of it, figured they'll go their way, I'll go mine

2018-08-04 03:36:54 UTC  

Youd be called racist lol

2018-08-04 03:37:13 UTC  

I mean, sure. if I recounted it that way.

2018-08-04 03:37:17 UTC  

Sorry I shoudnt be finding that funny

2018-08-04 03:37:23 UTC  

I find it funny, too.

2018-08-04 03:37:33 UTC  

Id cross the street if I saw a group of youths

2018-08-04 03:37:37 UTC  

I think it's funny when people talk about microaggressions like that

2018-08-04 03:37:56 UTC  

knowing that microaggression would've spared me a somewhat traumatic experience.

2018-08-04 03:38:56 UTC  

Dude its easy being virtuous about something that does not affect you personally

2018-08-04 03:39:16 UTC  

Then again theres some retards who still spout it after being burned.

2018-08-04 03:39:20 UTC  

basically, one of them made a hoot right behind me to get my attention, they had circled me. One of the guys that was behind me swung at me

2018-08-04 03:39:30 UTC  

I caught the movement coming from my right side and moved with it.

2018-08-04 03:39:31 UTC  

Like that one who refused to report her rape

2018-08-04 03:39:59 UTC  

oh, first someone knocked the pizza that I was carrying for a delivery out of my hands.

2018-08-04 03:40:05 UTC  

then someone swung

2018-08-04 03:40:10 UTC  

Forgot about the pizza.

2018-08-04 03:40:24 UTC  

waste of a damn ~~Goodfellas~~ Wiseguys pizza.

2018-08-04 03:40:35 UTC  

(You can google these locations to figure out where it happened, lol)

2018-08-04 03:40:57 UTC  

Excuse me! I was wrong!

2018-08-04 03:41:25 UTC  

It was Wiseguys. Goodfellas is a Dallas restaurant.

2018-08-04 03:42:10 UTC  

Jesus those names are synonyms

2018-08-04 03:42:25 UTC  

Yeah. I know.

2018-08-04 03:42:31 UTC  

ha

2018-08-04 03:42:45 UTC  

Fuck me for following my instincts yeah?

2018-08-04 03:42:57 UTC  

I avoid groups of youths, not blacks.

2018-08-04 03:43:16 UTC  

If it were a group of black elderly men id stick to my path.

2018-08-04 03:43:22 UTC  

From that point forward, I was incredibly nervous about anyone passing me for a while.

2018-08-04 03:43:46 UTC  

I still generally carry a gun or a knife in my car with me, out of sight.

2018-08-04 03:44:17 UTC  

As a pizza deliveryman are you allowed to be armed on the job?

2018-08-04 03:44:28 UTC  

I treat it as don't ask, don't tell.

2018-08-04 03:44:52 UTC  

Technically, the arrangement I work under

2018-08-04 03:44:55 UTC  

I'm my own boss.

2018-08-04 03:45:49 UTC  

If they want to dictate whether the second amendment applies to me on the job or not, they can pay my worker's compensation.
