Re: I got mugged

Damn, sorry to hear about that Hooskins, and glad to hear your ok.


I went to school in NE D.C. for a year, and yeah... rule number one is never walk alone at night. A buddy of mine got pistol whipped literally less than a quarter mile from the dorms. He was alone, and it was 2:00am and he was drunk as well.

Pretty much every crime report they would post up on the walls dealt with people, alone, and at night.

I know one thing is for sure, you'll never be walking alone again on that route.

Re: I got mugged

I don't know man, I would definitely file charges. Irk his family? Come on, the guy is a criminal and he should be accountable for his actions. You not filing changers will only result in him doing something similar in the future. As for him being affiliated with a gang, I doubt it and if he is so what? You can't live your life in fear and you certainly shouldn't make decisions like this out of fear.

It isn't about fear, its a combination of things. I just dont want to go through the entire legal process, and have that to worry about when I have much more important things going on.

He's not part of a gang, if he was he would have been around his friends.
It's your choice, no one can tell you what to do. But I will say this, you are likely not his first victim. So what if the first victim had a shot at pressing charges and didn't? Had he pressed charges, that might not have happened to you. So how will you feel if next time this guy selects a victim, he selects your g-friend...or someone you know and love? How will you feel then when you will know you didn't do all you could to stop this guy?
Even if you don't do it for you, do it for his next victim, cause I guarantee there will be another victim if you don't do anything.

Re: I got mugged

I guess it seems to be an irrational fear for you guys but I am a college student away from home, in a city that is not too safe. All you guys are much older can afford things such as a security system, frequent taxi rides home when drunk etc. I am a broke college student and I have to walk through these areas.

I dont know, I guess I should speak to some kind of free legal service in this area to get more of an idea of what I should do.
