Gang violence has a new meaning when it happens to your family

Gang violence has a new meaning when someone in your family experiences it. My brother was leaving a restaurant on the night of August 28th. He has just finished eating and was taking his trash out of his car to the trash can on the side of the building. One man, dressed in blue, walks up behind him and demands money. He tells him he has none, and turns around to face the man. The man then strikes him in the jaw, and my brother quickly retaliates by punching him square in the face, knocking the man out cold.

Another guy dressed in blue, and three times my brother’s size, runs up on my brother demanding the keys to his ‘84 Buick Regal. Of course my brother doesn’t give him the keys. The large man gets my brother on the ground, punching him left and right. My brother told me there was nothing he could do; the guy was too big and too strong.

Needless to say, a co-worker of the restaurant saw what was happening, and threatened the Crip members that he was calling the police. They split, my brother managed to pick himself up, and drive away. He’s all right, but he has purchased a license and a taser.

Until the authorities are allowed to punish the offenders appropriately, rather than a slap on the wrist and a telling off, the youths will carry on as they’re doing.

The Tuesday before Christmas last year, I was attacked by three kids as I got out of my car, outside my home. They were pushing and shoving and generally getting nowhere, as I was pushing them away, so one of them got on his mobile (cell) phone for re-enforcements.

A few seconds later, another dozen or so appeared, apparently from every corner of the estate, and joined in. I decided to attempt a retreat at this point, but lost two teeth in the process - one tooth lost in the attack and another removed by the dentist, when he re-opened in the New Year.

Christmas was ruined for my wife and I - I couldn’t eat any solids for a week, my gums, teeth and jaw were too sore, and my wife said it wasn’t worth cooking a Christmas dinner for one - I lived on soups for the Christmas/New Year holidays.

Oh, my wife called the police, as soon as she found out - One copper arrived, on foot, about 25 minutes later!!!

That’s life in London UK nowadays……

Wow, thats unfortunate.

By the way, the taser only works once.

As another person has said, they have dozons of people.

And as soon as you taser some dude
some guy with a underground stolen rifle or something will blast you. You are better off wearing a video camera on you, and get a high copacity gun.Gun>taser>rocks

You should wear the video camera anyways, because it may help the police identify people
