Anyone ever been mugged?

[koros]

Got jumped in Chicago walking home from the bars late the other night by 4 guys, and had my wallet stolen and my face pretty badly fucked up, ended up in the ER for a few hours, but I'm healing pretty fast.

I was pretty drunk, so I'm not sure if I'll get any sort of PTSD (other than being kinda jumpy I feel fine emotionally).

Anyone have any experience with this?

cant say i have man, thats an unfortunate experience, I'd find out who they were and scalp them in their sleep

My friend and I got mugged at gunpoint by a gaggle of gangsters when we were teenagers. Still mad my county doesn't issue concealed carry.

I got robbed once.

Okay imagine me, a naive 16 year old working at Del Taco with a couple of my little high school hoodlum buddies. It's like my 3rd week on the job, and I'm working with one of my friends.

We both get off at the same time and hey it's payday! So we grab our checks and go outside, marveling at the measly $70 we each made after Uncle Sam got his share. The bank is right across the street, so we decide we should go over there real quick to cash our checks before going home.

Well, someone overheard our plans. A 20ish year old *****, a familiar face in the neighborhood a kid that I know only as "Florida Boy", is hanging with his pardnas. He's sitting in one of those pedo vans and motions us to go over to him. With 5 gangsta ass *****s staring at us we had no choice but to go over. They then proceed to clown on us and flash a gun our way. I kinda just went numb. You've heard of fight or flight-- I went into fright mode.

What happens next is so comical that it's almost unbelievable. The ringleader 20 yr old ***** marches us by himself across the street to the bank. He wants us to cash our checks and give him the money. He waits outside and we go in. While waiting in line we're like "wtf should we do?" Not wanting to tempt fate, since he's sitting outside with a gun in his belt line, I said "we should just cash our checks, pocket some of the money, and just give him a little bit". So we pocket like $40 each and give him the rest of the money. Which pissed him off that the amount he got was so little, but he was still happy with his loot and didn't stick around for long.

It was gay. I got robbed by a *****. Learned my lesson though, I never flash money/paychecks/anything-of-value around like that anymore. Keep that shit to yourself, don't be naive like I was.

Oh, we also got back at Florida Boy like a year or two later, but that's another story.

Never been mugged, there arent even cities in central maine, but I have had a gun pulled on me. Walking my dog in the trails when I heard LOUD steps and rustling didn't know what it was so i ran back home, I was like 11. all of a sudden a guy comes up behind me on horseback with his daughter who i knew.

He asked me Why you runnin boy?

I told him just to run, this was still on my property.

He asked if I was running from the juvi center, theres a prison in my town that has a juvinelle detention center, there I am in jeans and a tshirt with my Basset hound and he thinks I just broke out of juvi...

anyway he unholsters his gun, doesnt point it at me but still, asks me where i live etc. eventually told me to go home and wouldn't stop starin me down until i was out of sight.

Doesn't relate to mugging or anything but with so few experiences in maine i gotta reach out when I can! This guy lives in my town too, TOTAL NUTJOB, he killed my husky because he claimed it took down a full sized horse. okay my 60lb leaped and took down your full sized horse by the neck, not only once but TWICE because the first shot scared him off but not away...

anyway, it didn't stop me from walking those same trails I do everyday. I'm a little more aware but I'm not carrying a gun with me or running and hiding when the wind blows.

moment he took the gun out of a holster he committed aggravated assault fyi, could've pressed charges and sent him to prison for up to 3'ish years (usually) depending on state laws. Not sure how old you are but these days that is a really easy conviction.
