I just reported this to the police. Right by Citadel Hill on the corner across from the horse stable I was eating a sub when a guy and a girl walking by stopped and the man said “Are you a guy or a girl?” (I had a hoodie up). Thinking I might be sketching them out I said “I’m a guy” in a perfectly complacent tone while eating a sub and he walked RIGHT up to me and said “What are you doing out at 5am?” By this time I saw how tough this guy looked (UFC cheekbones, arms almost as long as his legs) and the girl he was with looked nervous. I became as calm as possible keeping my sub in hand, I went to speak while looking way. He hit me HARD on the side of the head with no provocation and when I tucked and turned my face to the ground he hit me hard in the back of the head six or seven times. I was mugged three years ago and that man was almost crying and was apologetic at the end saying he really wasn’t a bad person and this leaves me disturbed to my core. Today’s incident was man’s smiling face, the impression that, had the girl he was with not screamed for him to leave me alone that he would have continued to hit me furiously. My present migraine and multiple lumps at the back of my head have now become a reality. Now that I’m not shaking from adrenaline anymore. He looked like a typical hockey playing upper-middle class sub-urbanized male with a hot girlfriend. Probably about 190 pounds. I’m 150 pounds and I wasn’t squared off even if I had a chance against him. —Leave Me Alone I’m Human Just Like You

He was just mad because he has big arms, but a small penis.
Next time, that’s your organ of target. If someone pulls a stunt like that, where they start a fight in which they clearly have the upper hand, they deserve to have their gems obliterated… or poke his eyes out… or bite his ear off… or pee on him… really, I think you should be allowed to fight dirty with shit heads like that.
OP I’m sorry that happened to you.The BASTARD may have to do a gang initiation in order to join a gang.
Don’t let the idiot live in your head,he’s not worth it.
right off the bat, he should have minded his own business, or should have asked you if things were okay. no decent person would say shit like he did, unless of course they were drinking and spoiling for a fight.
You just KNOW he got laid when he got home >: 0
Nobody deserves this OP, and , best case ontario, his GF gives him up to the police. Hope you get to see him in court.
gotta learn to read and heed some of these bitches here. best case scenario would have had you give a good hard kick to his nuts, jam sub in his face, and run like a motherfucker. or carry something small and easy and quick to use against someone like that.my suggeston is to always carry a pen or other pointy thing close to hand, or even in hand, in pocket.
I’m so sorry to hear this happened to you. I send you love and hugs because I really don’t know what else to say.
He thought you were gay? Citadel Hill and all? The guy’s homophobic on top of being a psychopath. One can only hope his girl does the right thing and turn the piece of shit in. If you have the strength in you, go to the police with your best description of him and his companion. If she is hot and walking by there at 5 A.M. somebody might know or recognize her.
I’d mine as well say this now (while there aren’t too many posts) so I don’t look like I’m Gawking for attention (You’d better not think that or it will bother me). The police officer who’s handling this case is Cst Craig Robinson. This happened to me over the weekend; I wrote the bitch quick just after it happened so I didn’t even proof read it. the only thing I left out was that when the girl screamed at this fucker who was pelting the back of my head SHE NEVER SAID HIS NAME. This scared the shit out of me. So I laid still like I was knocked out and then ran the second I heard her talking farther away and him laughing in a deep jock fuck voice.
The mugging that happened years ago was on Brunswick and the guy was so nervous I felt good after I gave him the 20 bucks I had. I’m fully aware of how rediculous that sounds.
The cops said that there was little chance they would get an arrest with Sunday mornings attack. Only hope I have is that what you have all suggested might happen (the girl turning him in) and me seeing him again and calling the cops.
ya, she probably did suck him dry that night. That was the first thing i was thinking while I was booting it right over the hill to the police station, or to where that patty wagon is usually parked. I was hoping they could drive me around and we could spot them.
Anyways it happened to me, and I will answer questions if you’re interested.
Oh and when it says “posted Wed NOV 28”, that is when the coast posted it. I wrote it in at around 6:30 am Sunday morning in case your skeptical about that.
That truly does suck Daniel. I know it’s hard to take much comfort in declining crime stats when you’re the exception to the rule. Hopefully someone who knows this troglodyte will read this, or have to listen to him brag about it once too often, and notifies the police.
Best of luck.
The Captain Triple-Double-Dog dares the girl to turn the douche bag in!
Sorry Daniel, I wish you better days.
Terrible thing to have happen, and bloody scarey, hope you can heal, I would not be surprised if this lunatic knocks his girl around also and she might be too scared to say anything.
learn some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, then break his fat arm off next time.
Daniel, I hope you feel better. If there was any chance of that girl turning that jackhole in, which I doubt, I think your comment about her sucking him dry that night might discourage her, and make her think she enjoyed you getting your lumps.
Stay safe, people. Daniel just relayed to us a painful reminder what type of jerks are out there.
is there any hope for a guy like that? who would just attack a total stranger, no provocation, just because they are miserable, seething masses of crap inside themselves. what good does he do anyone walking around breathing?
No GDM, I can’t see any. We have a plentitude of words for individuals who inflict pain on others for the sheer enjoyment. Bullies are little more than sociopaths in training who tend to inflict rather more damage on the world than could be expected from their otherwise meager talents and personally, I don’t see much hope for rehabilitation. Best hope – an O.D., or righteous shooting by the police.
Fuck them all.
Holy! I hope you are ok Daniel and the police are able to catch this miserable person.
i don’t like bullies. of any age or sex. i have never known one who has been able to change. and i do realize that some of them have been bullied themselves, and then turn on others. but…not everyone who has been beaten or abused as a child turns into a bully or an abuser. so there is more to it than that. the abuse ‘seed’ must find a home in that person. something to grow on. or anyone who has been abused would become an abuser, and that just doesn’t happen. some become champions of the weak, and some implode, and destroy themselves. not all become bullies. so….what is it about these humans? is it something we can isolate? discover? test for? despite some recurring fantasies about waking up omnipotent, with the ability to erase at least 50% of the population in the blink of my eye, it ain’t gonna happen and these creatures will continue to breathe.
That really sucks Danny. I’ve been swarmed, so I kinda know where you’re comming from.
Attending the summit this time?
“…despite some recurring fantasies about waking up omnipotent, with the ability to erase at least 50% of the population in the blink of my eye…” – Woo! I’m not the only one!
Next time in response, say you are a girl. That may have solved the problem. Or, offer him part of the submarine sandwich, sharing goes a long way. If these points of advice fail, say your HIV positive. That will play into the stereotype and throw him off guard. At that point during the conversation, punch his girl in the face and run really fast.
Or maybe this is why your parents told you not to talk to strangers at all….
Why you would even answer a stupid question like that is beyond me.
Zedster, something tells me that his choice of response had little to do with what followed. Short of producing a Walther P-38 and saying “Say auf wiedersehn to your undropped balls” and then following through, Daniel was going to take a beating from Mr. Piltdown Man, whatever he said.
^^ exactly. the guy was just looking for someone to bash. didn’t matter what the person looked like or said. he was just careful to pick someone who didn’t look like they would be able to hurt him back. eg: he did not go storming into a gang of longshoremen, he didn’t go kick a cop.
Sorry this happened to you Daniel, and it’s good thing you weren’t killed or seriously hurt. I really hope the policeman looking into this incident actually does everything he can, like get surveillance footage from the businesses around, like they do when people die in late-night fights downtown.
I think even if Daniel ignored the buffoon and said nothing, he still would’ve hit him. Sandwiches are best enjoyed outside, late at night. This is a scientific fact and I don’t want to live in a world where we can’t do just that!!
I’m not going to say something stupid like: “Karma will get this guy.” because that’s NOT how Karma works.
With pea-sized penis bearing effeminate assholes like this walking around, might be a good thing to start carrying some pepper spray er, I mean, Bear/Dog repellent.
Daniel, gay or not you’re still a human being and I hope you are able to overcome the feelings you have after this nightmare.
I always wish I was nearby when shit like this happens because, pain and bruises, etc. or not, I would jump in and help (I have in the past). I don’t want to be a hero. I just want to help.
To the ass wipe who did this and/or your girlfriend (if you read this): I hope you get what’s coming to you. Your girlfriend is just as guilty as you for not reporting the crime nor attempting to assist your victim! Dick lint.
Godspeed in your recovery, Daniel.
Would’ve still got hit… ok, maybe.
But if you don’t answer and he starts jabbering at you again, at least you know where you stand… in that you know more about him than he does of you.
Engaging in conversation is just breeding conflict when you have a suspicion of what he’s up to.
If you’re walking up and ignoring him and he keeps yakkin to you, you know he’s going to engage you and you can do the whole fight or flight deal. I’m willing to bet if you took off running, he wouldn’t have bothered to chase you down.
That may just be my assumption though… I don’t exactly emit the helpless aura when I’m trekking downtown so I don’t really know for sure.
“…I don’t exactly emit the helpless aura…” – Really? A tiny little innocent man like you doesn’t get preyed upon? You’re probably what… 90lbs soaking wet? Maybe you’ve just been lucky
Oh ya… the scale would only barely tip 90 lbs if it were after a thanksgiving supper… while soaking wet… heading to the bank with all my spare change.
Hell, if the guy was 150 and getting picked on like this… I’m willing to bet he’s a lanky mofo that could have outrun the turd burger. Again… assumptions… but still.
I can imagine the response to this, but……
this is why a gun is handy. The USA and in particular Florida has it right. The only thing unfortunately a pea brained asshole like that will EVER get it is when he has been overpowered himself. There is no insult, no moral argument, no plea for understanding that will get through. And no, I’m not suggesting he be killed.
However, to have to limp for life after having a bullet rip through his knee would be apt reward. Not only the pain, but the fact that he can no longer walk upright and pretend to be a man, when in fact he is nothing more than an aberration on the evolutionary ride to wherever it is we are headed.
But in lieu of a gun, yes there should always be something close at hand, to cause damage in these cases. Especially downtown after the drunks have been set loose.
danny, i’m really sorry this happened to you but, ferret, guns aren’t the answer. bullets should be expensive, kudos to chris rock
damn.. at least he asked you gender first.. gentleman mugger is gentlemanly ^_^
seriously. Call the cops.
If bullets cost $5000, you can be damn sure that if someone got shot, they deserved it! Love Chris Rock – Nice one Painey.
Ferret – You’re gonna have to rethink that idea of yours. What if the attacker had a gun as well? You could start a shoot out. And if someone got their knee cap shot out, don’t ya think there’s a possibility that person might be pissed? Maybe even enough to seek revenge? As terrible as a beating is, it beats starting a war or killing someone.
The world should abolish guns. If someone wants to fight, do it the old fashioned way. If countries want to go to war, do it with Swords, Bows, and Armour (but leave the horses home)
glove slap, baby, glove slap
The sooner this guy is apprehended, the better. Who attacks somebody out of the blue? I would say the man probably tunes up his girlfriend as well as so many of those lower I.Q. testosterone-driven types do.
I am sorry you had suffer at the hands of this man Daniel and I hope for a speedy recovery
The world should abolish stupid pacifists.
The nature to be at war is part of us. The first tools man made were weapons. Evolution didn’t leave us like the animals. The weak among us at one point said to themselves ,” I can’t beat my enemy, but if I had a way to become more powerful….”. Boom…. the strong intellect will survive, because it knows to disarm is sheer stupidity. There will always be those among us that simply want to be ruthless. Who cares why, it is what it is. That IS the world I live in. I can’t escape to some utopia in the sky. And we can’t go back to the barbaric method Cpt L suggests. So to cry, destroy the guns just makes you sound like you are completely out of touch with reality. Guess if we were in a world where we sat around smokin whatever it is you have………. but we aren’t!
Mankind just is not going to smarten up. And for those who wish to take some moral high ground, good luck. But you come across like religious nuts. Very unrealistic. Yes find the good things where you can, but if you really believe in peace, then you might just have to fight for it some day. I’d like to think (but it is just a fantasy) different, but that is reality.
The world doesn’t need to abolish pacifists, Ferret. Sooner or later they remove themselves from the equation either by coming up against those who are not shy about using force or by rendering themselves irrelevant by flourishing in those societies that function within a rule of law. Gandhi, for instance, had the good fortune to practice his “non-violence” against that most civilized of colonial powers – the British Empire. I’m not defending colonialism, per se, or suggesting that the British were always gentle or humane, only that they were far ahead of the pack in exporting their values to the people they ruled. If Gandhi had tried to make his name in any other part of the world, the Belgian Congo, Franco’s Spain, French Indo-China, Manchuria, anywhere under the bootheels of Stalin or Hitler, for instance, he would be just another anonymous corpse moldering in an unmarked grave.
Peace is not the end result of the refusal, or incapacity to defend yourself. And pacifists are as contemptible as any other class, whose so-called “principles” are the result of allowing others to do the dirty work.
My opinion, anyway.
I’m not a pacifist, I’m an idealist.
And you hit on the answer in your post, Ferret. Evolution. It’s true we evolved into a war waging species, for a myriad of reasons, survival being the chief among them. But we don’t need to wage war for survival anymore. The ‘strong intellect’ you mentioned, if it was pervasive, would understand how counterproductive war is to its species. So how about we continue to evolve and stop stagnating in this world that we have filled with hate and mistrust and violence. The idea isn’t to escape to a utopia in the sky, its to change what we have here on the ground, which, when compared to the rest of the visible universe, is a veritable utopia.
And if you think my methods are barbaric, try throwing a spear at a school full of children and see if it’s as ‘barbaric’ as a cruise missile. War is war is war. It will ALWAYS be barbaric.
“Mankind just is not going to smarten up” – Not as long as it keeps repeating that line to itself. So how about educating mankind? If the majority of people are non-violent anyways, why let the few who ARE violent dictate world events?
I DO think everyone should have a sit down on their couch and have a toke of what I’m smoking. It would most assuredly expedite the solution of world problems… except for famine, it’s not gonna help that one :S
Again, I’m NOT a pacifist (or religious). I’ll kick the shit out of someone who deserves it, but I won’t kill them and I won’t go to war.
War is easily the worst way we have of settling our differences.
We simply haven’t come up with a better way >: (
Backgammon….. there, that’s a better way.
I wasted any number of FYP morning lectures playing Glow-fueled backgammon and let me tell you – the potential for lethal escalation was HIGH!

If we do not end war – war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything. – H.G. Wells
When the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die. – Jean-Paul Sartre
One theory is that war is a form of deliberate population control. For every person killed, that’s all their children, grandchildren, etc. that are never even born. The rich and powerful never get sent to the front lines, just the poor and uninfluential.
We’ll see the end of war when those who start them, have to fight them.
“Draft Beer, Not People.” – Bob Dylan
“Only the dead have seen the end of war” – Plato.
“The rich and powerful never get sent to the front lines, just the poor and uninfluential.”
That’s an easy generalization and not without some truth, especially now, but it hasn’t always been so. I forget the exact number but in WW1 some 2 dozen peers either died in action or had sons killed. The popular image of the trenches is of pink cheeked public schoolboys ordering working class men into the mouths of German Maxim guns, but the truth was, those young officers with hyphenated surnames and impeccable educations were expected to lead their men over the top armed with a whistle and a swagger stick. And they died accordingly. In WW2 (again, not certain of the exact number) some 300 German generals died in combat.
But I do agree, in part. Today look at the number of American (or Canadian) elected officials
who have served in the military. Look at how many of their children are serving.
Not terribly inspiring.
Ivan. Prince Harry is a pretty good modern example of a long standing tradition, and a good one too. But, yes I was takling more of the way North American gets things done.
You are absolutely correct, And his uncle Andrew before him. Thanks for the reminder >: ).

Just still a bit sore swelling went all the way down yesterday. Had I not turned my head and butted myself on the incline (It was on those shitty partially grown over cement steps leading up to the gravel parking lot with the dumpster and the knoll) of the steps I could have had a broken jaw, nose, and would have missed at least a weeks work, and that’s the best case scenario..
Just for the record I know how you’re supposed to fight guys with longer arms than you. You stay in close punching furiously in too close for their full range, possibly getting kicks in on their shins, then either you grapple them and use your shorter arms’ advantages (in that your elbow pinch points are usually more effective) or you trip them and go from there.
The reality of the situation is that once I was hit and on the ground, given the force of his punches it was over. I turned my head into the sides of my arms and hoped for the best. I’m just proud of myself for going with my instincts and keeping a clear head.
Fuck I hate people like that. I am of the opinion that violence IS sometimes a solution, sometimes the best/only solution to some problems. See World War 2. I also love a good fight, but violence for the sake of it is just so fuckin cowardly. This guy is a fucking coward and a piece of shit, and the fact that he chose to do it in front of a girl just reinforces that. I can’t stand people who do this kind of shit to impress people. What an insecure little bitch. I’m sorry OP.
Kontee
We don’t know her. If she can’t accommodate a frustrated outburst from me after the assault happened than she’s all about her. I also said “probably”, and women tend to love “bad boys” like that; but like I said, I don’t know her.
Do I deserve to get beat up for something I might say?
I’m not sure exactly what you’re saying with that.
Kontee
New thought.
I now after reading over your comment I see that you might mean something like, WHY would I take a CHANCE with a negative comment towards the girlfriend. I can see that.

I’m sorry to hear about what happened Daniel.I know that being beaten up isn’t easy to heal from but,it’s the psychological bruises that leave long lasting scares. No one deserves to be beaten up Daniel.
Been through worse than this Boru. The important thing here is communication for anyone else who gets attacked while taking a bite out of a fucking sub.

Oh Mel – I remember standing next to a she-punk on the dance floor at Garbagetown pointing out the technical inaccuracies in that vid. She looked at me and said something along the lines of “You must get laid, like..never”
And she was correct. >: (
“He who mocks the Mode, will not be blowed.” Matthew 69:10
BWA HA HA HA HA HA – Oh Mel, you are batting them out of the park today, I tell ya hwut.
Daniel, you’re probably not checking this, but a VERY SIMILAR incident happened early last night on Hollis St. Same description of the guy – although I will add a few more details: he’s white, shaved head, UFC type. He was wearing a po’ boy cap, brown/dark pants, dress shoes, and a light coloured coat. He was well-dressed. No girl was with him. I was walking home with a grocery bag, crossed Hollis and South stopped to check my phone, and heard a bottle breaking right behind me. Naturally, I turned my head. The man walked straight up to me and yelled in my face: “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT?” There were numerous people around but not close. I think when he realized I was a woman (I was dressed warmly – big down jacket and toque, but long hair) he backed right off. I waited 10 seconds and stupidly followed him – he did the exact same thing to an older man 40s-50s who was unloading his car on Hollis, and proceeded to yell and punch him repeatedly in the back of the head. I crossed the street and dialled 911, and attempted to follow him (others attended to the injured man). I can tell you that he likely lives past Salter & Barrington (he had a grocery bag too), and that the police did attempt to respond, but I don’t think they got him. This guy is a bomb of violence just waiting to explode. He’s mental and not your typical vagrant.
I think somebody is in need of a padded cell. I hope they catch him FAST before he kills somebody.

When I told the cop what happened the cop’s questions immediately went very specific and, although i wasn’t being led with any descriptions I could tell the cop thought there was a related incident with the same suspect.
I’m glad you posted.
