Got beat up standing up for what's right


Lasty

Recommended Posts

None of my "friends" stood up for me. Some of them out of fear of losing brownie points because the bully was well liked, a fake who corrupts people. Others because they're fake as well. A lot of them tried to convince me to be a coward and keep my mouth shut because I'm not a fighter. They try to act like they're anarchists and they have no hierarchy or power structure, but they do.

I totally did. Being willing to fight by myself doesn't mean backup isn't nice.

Well by the OP it sounded like you no longer consider your friends as friends because they didn't back you up.

Some of them did it out of fear. I can't hold that against those individuals.

Hey dude you stood up. That's more than can be said for most people. You might have lost this fight, but at least you had the balls to fight in the first place. Props

woah....that's fucked up...I mean, from my perspective, your friend jumps in no matter what or that friendship is done...

 

Not necessarily. Some of them kept their heads down out of fear. Can't blame them for that.

gonna need more context before judging, but i have a few opinions one way or the other.

This is the kind of rationality the neighborhood the incident took place in is lacking.

The dude lives in his van, was parked in a church parking lot close to a friend of mine. My buddy had a shopping cart full of art supplies, for badass street art. Dude decides he doesn't like it, it's blowing up "his" spot like he owns the ground he walks on where ever he goes. He challenges my friend to a fight, and I go to tell my buddy, you know, you don't have to go fight that guy. You don't have to play his game. Right? Well, that blew up in a physical confrontation and that was several months ago. Couple days ago, he rolls up in his van on the lot of the rest of us all hanging out and starts calling me a bitch. I tell him that's a projection his part, he turns to violence to easily, and what does he do? Instantaneously get out of his van to prove my point. Nobody chimed in, nobody stopped him. I spoke up for what was right in spite of the inherent risk. I was the only brave person surrounded by a bunch of cowards. Not my hang out spot anymore.

You remind me of my friend Lauren who ran her mouth and got jumped by 5 girls then was mad that our friend Sloan didnt jump in and fight the girls with her.

I wasn't "running my mouth" I was speaking my piece because this is motherfucking AMERICA. I didn't want anyone to fight the guy, I wanted them to chime in with me before he attacked me so it didn't have to happen at all. Seems like you're stuck in the whole violent monkey status ladder thing where might makes right.

So you challenged his physical presence by belittling it and expected a violent bully to just say, "You know what, you're right. I'm in the wrong here." And then you all go play stickball and the credits roll. Is that about how you expected things to pan out? A bunch of violent apes in the middle of a fight or flight response were going to rally behind logic, yes?

You should have called the police the second he started getting verbally confrontational

 

Maybe buy a tazer....the situation could also have been diffused with that *Click click* sound of you pressing the button

I couldn't have turned to the police. I'm homeless. The tazer is a good idea, though. Probably some mace too.

Not everyone out there is like that. A lot of them kept their heads down out of fear, which I knew was possible. Sometimes you have to do the right thing even knowing you don't have leverage. They didn't listen to me then, but I made a statement. Now they have a better chance to change their minds in the future.

You can call the police if you're homeless. It's still their job to protect you. Idk the details maybe you had other reasons but that doesnt matter i dont need to know. I just want you to know you still count even when you're homeless.

Your friends sound unreliable as fuck, so just call the cops next time. Look, if you need backup when confronting a bully, then you are not one who can talk shit. You're just gonna get hurt. I would second Nab's idea to fuck up that dude's van, or at the very least steal his shit, but your bitch ass friends might snitch on you.

sorry to hear dude. your friends should be backing you up no matter what. even if you where the one starting shit they should have your back. even more so that the guy was the one that got aggressive. 

 

to the people saying call the cops, it's not really an option where they hate homeless people and harass them regularly. 

cops most likely beat up lastly even more and send him to jail for some stupid bs. 

fucking hate cops.

There are too many people in the world who need backup to confront bullies. If only the people who didn't need backup stood up, shady assholes would have more control over the world than they do. Next time, I'll make sure I have backup first. I'm not going to resort to that kind of retaliation because I am not like him. That won't solve the problem.

Naw, you good. Real friends do not watch you get your ass beat like that. My girlfriends and I are mostly around 5'2''-5'3'', but if some dude puts his hands on one of us, it is fucking on.

Back up woulda been nice but sometimes the beat down is worth it. I speak from experience. :ph34r:

You seem like someone who could get some good licks in and make the other person remember that fight. That can make a beat down worth it, but the way Lasty is getting whooped just seems kind of pointless.

Yeah, I've literally tried to kick a guy in the nuts for fucking with my friend. He was big enough to rip me in half without much effort.

I say tried because I missed. When he pointed that out, I was all.

Ok, I am not sure, but I may have misunderstood what your beef with your friends is. I at first thought it was because they didn't back you up in the physical fight. By more responses of yours that I've read since the last time I opened the thread, now I'm thinking you're angry because they didn't stand up verbally before it got to the point of physical violence. If that's the case, then I agree with you, they should've backed you up.
