Even when I worked in Dallas, I had always rehearsed self defense with my bike lock, if necessary.
Kind of a bike courier thing to do.
Thats a thing? Using a bikelock specifically?
I mean, I was doing that before Eric Clanton used one.
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.
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
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....)
Ironically, if I had've seen them and chosen to cross the street, I wouldn't have gotten attacked.
but instead, I thought nothing of it, figured they'll go their way, I'll go mine
Youd be called racist lol
I mean, sure. if I recounted it that way.
Sorry I shoudnt be finding that funny
I find it funny, too.
Id cross the street if I saw a group of youths
I think it's funny when people talk about microaggressions like that
knowing that microaggression would've spared me a somewhat traumatic experience.
Dude its easy being virtuous about something that does not affect you personally
Then again theres some retards who still spout it after being burned.
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
I caught the movement coming from my right side and moved with it.
oh, first someone knocked the pizza that I was carrying for a delivery out of my hands.
then someone swung
Forgot about the pizza.
waste of a damn ~~Goodfellas~~ Wiseguys pizza.
(You can google these locations to figure out where it happened, lol)
Excuse me! I was wrong!
It was Wiseguys. Goodfellas is a Dallas restaurant.
Jesus those names are synonyms
Yeah. I know.
ha
Fuck me for following my instincts yeah?
I avoid groups of youths, not blacks.
If it were a group of black elderly men id stick to my path.
From that point forward, I was incredibly nervous about anyone passing me for a while.
I still generally carry a gun or a knife in my car with me, out of sight.
As a pizza deliveryman are you allowed to be armed on the job?
I treat it as don't ask, don't tell.
Technically, the arrangement I work under
I'm my own boss.
If they want to dictate whether the second amendment applies to me on the job or not, they can pay my worker's compensation.
