So I was on my way home after playing home with my buddies, I live near by so I decided just to walk home. Halfway my way back one guy sneak up on me and sprayed pepper spray in my eyes, I couldnt see so I tried to run away but another guy chased me and punched me in the face. At first they took my phone, I struggled a bit I cried for help but nobody came, they kept on beating up on me until I just gave up. Overall they took my 3DSXL with fire emblem I just bought, I havent even played it, around 70 dollars in cash, my phone, a comic book and my back that my mom gifted to me. I tried to run to the nearest gas station so I could ask some strangers some phone so that I could just call the police. I'm just glad I'm still alive. Be safe gaf

 

[XBP]

Holy shit dude. Are you ok right now? Go to the hospital if you're injured or anything and report this ASAP to the cops. Oh and fuck those guys.

 

[*Splinter]

(Some) People suck

Sorry about your shitty night OP

 

[brainchild]

That's terrible.

I'm very sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're still alive. Did you file your police report yet?

 

[Auto_aim1]

Damnit, I'm so sorry. Hope the police find those clowns and you get your stuff back.

 

[Symphonia]

I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you, but be thankful they didn't take the one thing that cannot be replaced - your life.

 

[Maaaaaardy]

Hope you're okay brother, good luck catching them.

 

[Senketsu]

Holy shit dude. Are you ok right now? Go to the hospital if you're injured or anything and report this ASAP to the cops. Oh and fuck those guys.

My eyes are swelling a bit and my face too, I refused medical attention because I dont have health insurance. I'm still alive thats all that matters.

 

[Nokterian]

Holy shit dude glad you are still alive but man this is just sucks so hard Pathetic human beings doing shit like this.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Wow, my condolences. Hopefully the police will catch these fuckers. Be wary of a concussion.

 

[Princess Viola]

People are really pathetic.

Glad you're ok dude.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Shit, I'm so sorry to hear that happened. :/ I hope you get your shit back and the pissbags get put in jail.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Damn dude, sorry to hear that. Hope you're recovering well.

Where do you live that late night assaults and no health insurance are regular concerns?

 

[Senketsu]

LA

 

[Lightning Count]

Damn, that's horrible glad you made it home alive

Can you track your phone via GPS, might be worth trying pass the details on to the cops so they can arrest these guys.

Also call your mobile phone provider and tell them your phone is stolen they will lock the sim card.

 

[How About No]

What a bunch of pathetic fuckers. Hope the cops get them, unlikely as it is.

I'd still recommend going to the hospital or a clinic eventually. Even if you think you feel fine, you really can't know for sure if they fucked anything up badly. Even if your mom needs to help with the bill.

 

[psynergylover]

Damn, sorry to hear that OP, thank goodness you're alive and hope you recover quickly. Hopefully your phone will help track these fuckers

 

[Ishan]

sorry to hear it op recover well

 

[Memory]

Shit dude hope your okay, what a bunch of scumbags.

 

[Mr Waluigi]

Aah, the good old times when I got beat up in the street too

This shit traumatized me for a while, hope you get through it better

 

[M52B28]

Damn, sorry. Just be glad they took your possessions and not your life.

You know, after all of the late night walking I've done in SF and the Bay Area, I'm surprised I haven't gotten beaten up and robbed.

I guess that's the perk of being a wide-body, burly weightlifting black guy?

Yeah, it's going to be on your mind for a while, but be grateful, as some people did not get out of situations like that.

 

[tim.mbp]

You got to get that Obamacare.

I am traumatized. Never again

 

[May16]

Call local GameStops and tell them to be on the lookout for people trading in a copy of Fire Emblem alongside a 3DS that's exactly like yours.

If there's any distinct, identifying marks on your system, that might become a lead.

These are some damages that I got tonight, sorry if the camera quality is total shit I had to use my crappy webcam. I am so exhausted but I can't even sleep.
Calling gamestop is a good advice, I'll do it tomorrow.

Man, so sorry that this happened to you. I know it's not going to help your pain much no matter what I write here, but things are just things - thank God you're alive and well.

 

[Bedlam]

That sucks. I never had that kind of experience in my life but I can imagine that the emotional scars must be just as bad as the physical ones.

Hope you get over this soon!

Also, get health insurance!

 

[mariachi507]

I'm sorry this happened to you, life can serve up some real shit at times. Keep your head up and I wish you luck moving forward from this.

 

[timetokill]

Fuck, man, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Rest up and I hope you feel better soon. I know the pain of not having health insurance, makes you extra glad nothing life threatening happened.

 

[Senketsu]

I don't have a stable job to afford health insurance, sadly I work as a part time caregiver and I only work once or twice a week. Only more if the other person working decides to take a day off. The pay is only enough for rent, bills, and I save a little bit of my paycheck every time just so I could afford a videogame that I like.

 

[Zelias]

Shit dude, that's terrible. Hope the cops find whoever did this to you and you get some justice.

Get obamacare. If you make within 138 percent of the poverty line you won't have to pay anything. That qualifies you for Medicaid.

Yes then he will be on the hook for a multi thousand dollar dedectable

Which is worse than being uninsured, how exactly?

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Man the healthcare/crime rate is fucked in America.

That sucks that happened OP, make sure you go to the police!

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Sorry to hear about that. People are complete jerks. Just remember OP.....it could have been worse. At least you are able to tell us about it. You can get the material things back.

 

[mcz117chief]

damn, and people say I am weird for always carrying a daisho. It is EXACTLY for reasons like these that I wear it and I won't stop wearing it unless it becomes the law (in which case I will just stealth carry a wakizashi or something).

Glad you are still alive, man. I think it would be prudent to invest in some kind of self defence device.

That was the 1st thing I did, luckily some good samaritan lend me their phones so I can call the police.

Good to hear.

And as others said, might be an idea to check Craigslist/eBay for your area for the things you had stolen, maybe even call some local pawn shops. Do you have the serial code on the 3dsxl? Any way to track the phone?

Isn't it the law that you aren't allowed to open carry swords in Japan, and heck Wakizashis are still fucking long when it comes to knives.

Lol you carry a mini sword around with you everywhere you go? Sounds like a bit much.

Daisho is apparently 2 of them actually.


I usually have a swiss knife on me but I don't particularly plan on pulling it if I ever get robbed. I rather get beaten up than knived.

Aye, daisho is both short sword and long sword. I don't live in Japan though, I am from Eastern Europe and carrying cold weapons is completely legal.

No, I carry 2 swords, 1 long and 1 short. I have been doing it for 8 years now.

 

[Foffy]

Why would he be? He refused medical care, and for those with medicaid, don't they pay very little for everything? The issue being that many places don't simply take medicaid.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

My eyes are swelling a bit and my face too, I refused medical attention because I dont have health insurance. I'm still alive thats all that matters.

I read something like this and become really grateful for the NHS.

 

[It's Reyn Time!]

Sorry to hear that man, that's a profoundly shitty thing to happen to you.

 

[mcz117chief]

It still baffles me how medical insurance is not mandatory in USA...

 

[Hoo-doo]

The fuck is wrong with you. What do you intend to do with it, slice a guy open for taking your 3DS? I don't think you've thought this anime-scenario through, tough guy.

Using a knife (or sword) as a violence deterrent is utterly nonsensical. Pulling it without being immediately committed to use it will just raise your chances of being disarmed, shot, stabbed or worse.
Also, what do you think is going to happen when you actually fatally stab someone in an altercation? You're likely to go to jail, that's what.

Actually double checked I wasn't on my fav subreddit for a sec. Well played.

Stop lying.
