i agree. i was jumped by two black guys in my town on my way back from a bar. they wanted my wallet and wedding ring, but all they got was some elbows and knees. i have studied muay-thai for a little while, and having a few drinks in me, made me a little numb. i still had motor skills, so i was able to fight, just didnt feel the hits, heh. i got home, WITH my wallet and ring, plus bruised ribs, a swollen eye, and split knuckles. my wife nearly freaked out, until i told her that one had to help the other limp away after i kicked him in the knee. im just glad that THEY were drunk too. if they were sober, and i was buzzed like that, im sure i would have been DESTROYED!!!

anyway, the point(s) of this response is:

A) im sorry that this happened to you, and i hope that you are ok.
B) that i know exactly what you mean about street crime, and it NEEDS to stop.
C) i also wanted to post about MY experience, because it happened not too long ago. i REALLY hate those who have no jobs, lives, etc. and blame hard working citizens like you and i for their misfortune. then try to rob you because you have something that they want/need, but dont want to work to get. i think you did well in NOT giving him what he wanted, though it COULD have been alot worse. alot of martial-artists and self defense instructors will tell you to just give them the wallet, money and cards can be replaced, but your life cant. i agree, to an extent. if i CAN take them, i will, JUST to show them a lesson. a lesson they more than likely will forget, but a lesson none the less. good job man.
