Now I remember why I generally refrain from getting involved in these conversations. Some retard or (several more) always want to make a joke about real life problems.
Folks, just because you have not had to deal with bad people does not mean they aren't out there. I work around them seven days a week. They do not care about you and will harm you (or your family or friends) if it suits them.
If it's a joke to you, move on, you will perhaps have the reality of it in your life someday, and then you will understand.
WTF is that about, Gohot? is there a joke hiding in there somewhere, or was that just being rude (hard to tell sometimes). She's been here, oh, 6 YEARS longer than you.
Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do proactively to avoid because the weird and loathsome seldom telegraph their intentions to do harm. Heck, it's a last-minute decision based on misfiring brain cells. They're unpredictable even to themselves.
Review your basic self-defense techniques with focus on elbow breaking and shoulder-separation techniques and especially take-downs.
Create a form and practice it, envision it and relax and get comfortable with it.
Make the decision that, should something happen, you will end it as quick as possible and you won't be afraid to hurt him.
For legal backup, remember that the po-po keep records of previous calls to a residence and you have the landlord's statements.
It wouldn't hurt to let others around know you're worried -- don't tell them if you're practicing self-defense in your living room -- so you have back up testimony in court.
Be hopeful it doesn't go that far, but prepare. Good luck.
I don't get her obsession with having flames spurt from her tits. I heard about it happening for her shows, and then that video. Is that kinda like GWAR and their big space phallus?
Please, remember that the use of deadly force in self defense requires that you be in fear for your life. I once grabbed up a shotgun when a drunk neighbor barged through my door. He asked if I was going to shoot him. I said no as I jacked all the rounds out of the gun and turned it around like a ball bat. In his mind I wouldn't shoot him, but, he was convinced that I would bludgeon him with it. He promptly left. Drunks and loons don't think like you or I.
A man pulled a pistol on me in a hotel room once. I started talking to him and told him that if he shot me, I would own him. He stood their silent giving me enough time to walk out the door. Sometimes our survival is just dumb luck. Sometimes it's not lightning quick reflexes, but, being the first one accurately on target. Violence ain't funny.
Char, If the cops come around after you beat him, Just say "I must have got off a lucky swing", don't mention the defense course.
PS goo goo for GaGa like coo coo for CoCo puffs. Stephany Germanati is refreshing.
Well... the good news is I ran into him on my way out the door and he looked away and avoided me... which means he was probably sober at the moment...
The bad news is, although the instructor at class tonight was technically perfect and a really nice guy... I listened to one and a half hours of three geeks go on about X Men comics... bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeech... the price I have to pay for becoming a goddess...
