Yea unfortunately it's an easy way to get caught sleeping. Situational awareness at all times especially in public.

Sorry about the hair cut, I am growing long hair for my NieR cosplay this year so I am struggling with a good way to groom myself. Also, I am just wearing my home attire, this is not how I walk around town (I usually wear jeans and such), but this is just a quick demonstration. And for people saying stuff like "swinging it around in front of your bedroom mirror like Naruto", I am doing Iaido for 8 years now so I know how to use my bokken quite effectively.
Just wondering how good the lawyers are in the East, when it comes to self defense? I mean if you ever cut someone into pieces.

Guns are better for this kind of thing. I'd rather shoot someone than have to slice through them with a fucking sword.

Same prob though - you can't shoot anything if you've been blinded by pepper spray

You have no style, nor have you grace. What kind of crusader are you?

the 2nd sword is a wakizashi, shorter, akin to the dagger in fencing.

That sounds awful, OP! I hope you recover quickly, and that the scumbags get caught.
Hey OP not trying to victim blame but if you ever walk in the future just make sure to carry your id and debt card on you. When I use to live in riverside and walked places you wouldn't catch me with a phone on my person let alone valuables like straight cash, comic book, and 3DS. Just a little tip for the future.
I'm really sorry this happened to you.
I'm really sorry this happened to you.
People making fun of swords, smh.
Let's see you mess with me...
Can you even swing that thing fast enough to cut something?

The last of my kind! And my 92FS is super graceful.

Bro, do you mako?
Pepper spray is pretty bad. One time my cousins and I were eating at Dennys. Some drunk people were causing a ruckus and they got ejected and pepper sprayed. People in the restaurant weren't near it and I felt a burn in my throat even though we were many tables away from the mist. They gave us all free drinks and a discount to compensate. I can only imagine how it would feel to get hit directly.
Really sorry to hear about that OP... Glad you're relatively okay. Muggers are the absolute scum of the earth.
Here's my carry weapon. Great for accidentally knocking yourself out and making a mugger's job easier:
I have a 92D Centurion which is basically a rare, more compact, double action only version of the FS designed for concealed carry. I live in a really safe area though, so there's no need for me to have a CCW.

Nice. I want one now! Both my handguns are double action and I wouldn't have them any other way.Really sorry to hear about that OP... Glad you're relatively okay. Muggers are the absolute scum of the earth.

Edit-nvm. Apparently it's the same frame as the fs!
So good.
Was waiting for this.

Even having played all 3 games and having read the books the game just wasn't as memorable to me as it seems to be for so many other people.
Hopefully that gas station has surveillance so the police can get some additional leads. Also OP a couple of posters gave advice about your phone in regards to potentially tracking it and/or disabling it's service that I would follow, in addition to changing/disabling any passwords related to any apps/etc on the phone (ex: Apple/Google Pay, gmail, etc...)
There are apps and services that allow you to track stolen phones available now with the help of authorities. What additional access would they need?
The D is apparently the same as the FS, whereas the D centurion is a bit shorter I believe. It's kind of like the 92 compact but with the same round capacity as the FS.
Actually it can be effective if they just hit the glasses.
Pepper spray has to hit the eyes and eye region directly to be effective. It then takes a few seconds to activate. I've used it a few times and one of those times the guy had eyeglasses which i completely disregarded. My first spray hit the glasses no effect, second spray hit him above and the pepper spray dropped into his eyes. Big dude went down.
When I got pepper sprayed I did it without glasses. We then had to learn how to fight our opponent while he pepper spray was active. They then wanted me to do it the next day with glasses as a demonstration. I was like hell no, I rather get tased.
Sorry op hope you get your stuff back and recover.

This is why I always keep an additional pair of eyes just in case someone pepper sprays me or attacks me with Jalapenos. All those Krav Maga classes my dad dragged me to when I was a teenager aren't very useful when I get pepper in my eyes.

Honestly, I couldn't imagine leaving the house without my cellphone, but if I walked much more than I drove from place-to-place perhaps it would be different.
So you rep to the world that you are carrying two lethal weapons, but will have nothing but wood and plastic should someone decide to test your mettle.

Interesting. We did that too and even when the pepper spray hit my clothing around the chest area it was pretty rough. I remember once my female friend tried it in her hotel room and the whole floor got tears in their eyes. They called the cops on us but after a bit of airing out it was ok.
It worked for the Star Wars project.
Practices daily. I just imagine those neckbeards I saw in college with their wooden swords and shields in the open fields also thought they were practicing their "art".
I can't even make it past the socks with sandals IN DOORS in the photo.

What do you wear during winter at home? Sandals are good for hard surfaces and socks to prevent colds.
Slippers? Something that covers my entire foot if I'm looking to keep them warm?
Are these not things in Eastern Europe ... ?

I won't make fun of you for the sandals but those swords gotta go

Not that it isn't ridiculous but I think the idea is to dissuade muggers, who generally try to go for easy targets, from attacking him in the first place. It's not like he's going to walk into another fellow swordsman who will see his armaments and challenge him to a duel.

Old people use them here when they have trouble putting socks on. Most people wear crocs or sandals.

You'd better not make fun of him for the socks and sandals. You'd best know better than that. Kids like you get on the internet and want to spout off some of that English when you ain't never had to walk down the street without the a priori on whether you gonna have to tornado kick your sandals off into the face of some giant, bulging manbeast who decided he wants to have you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A man needs socks in a situation like that. You could get dirt on your feet while running away, and that would distract you from the situation. Distractions get you killed.
Jesus christ. Eastern Europe sure seems like a place I don't want to be.
You know no honor. What Chinese Samurai would tornado kick a foe instead of facing him at five feet, shoulders 3 inches of a 56 degree slant, with conviction and a walking stick. You shame your ancestors, family and martial art. Shame.
sorry to hear what happened to you, op
ot: is that other guy for real

victim blaming too, nice
Koreatown doesn't reach that far north, but I assume this was near where Melrose passes under the 101? Yeah, not somewhere I'd be walking down dark alleys with headphones, for sure. Glad you made it out of the situation with minimal damage. The pepper spray is a fun new wrinkle that's started to pop up more and more recently.
