long time ago I got jumped by a bunch of guys in the middle of the night in my old neighborhood. Only time in my life I've ever been jumped/robbed....it also happened to be the only time in my life I've ever been high on PCP.
I don't pull my self into too much violence. I'm usually physically weaker than my opponent most of the time. My motto is "I don't attack you,unless you attack me."
Jesus christ man, I've never went through anything like this, but this is honestly one of my worse fears. I'm glad your wife and your friends are safe, and I Hope you get better soon.
Holy moley.... Did you tell them your place was on fire? They should at LEAST oblige! What would they tell a man if he had his pregnant wife in a wheel barrow? "Get out of our turf"? Bloody morons aren't human.
