Have you ever been mugged or jumped?

Has anyone here ever been mugged or jumped? It can be in any degree. Gun point, a knife, no weapons even.

Philly per capita has the highest crime rate in the country I believe, so it's not surprising that I got mugged a few times. I got mugged a total of 3 times, but only 1 of the 3 times they got away with anything of mine. I was lucky no weapons were used.

The first time I was about 12 and I was riding my bike with my friend. About 4 black kids surrounded us and told us to give up our bikes. They looked around 13/14ish. One of the kids swung at me but I blocked part of it and he only grazed the side of my cheek. Another kid punched me and it hit me in the ear and it didn't hurt very much, but eventually we both got away with our bikes.

Another time I was about 15 and was coming home from school with a friend and some kid came over to me and put his arm around me and asked me for a bus token. I told him I didn't have one and I knew right away what he was going to ultimately try to do because his grip around me was pretty tight. He told me to give him my money or he was gonna kick my ass and my friend shoved him off and we both ran for it across a busy street on a red light. He didn't follow us across.

Another time, I was about 14 I think and I was riding my bike through a park and I was near a part with stairs so I wasn't going fast. There were a couple wiggers sitting down drinking and one of them chased after me and I couldn't accelerate fast enough and he stuck a stick in my spokes and I fell of the bike. Oddly, he asked for my Iverson jersey and not the bike, and I gave it to him because there were a few other guys with him and one had a glass bottle, and I didn't feel like having it smashed over my skull.


I'm curious if anyone here ever got mugged and to what degree. I know people who have been held at gun point, and it must be one of the scariest things. You never know if they'll just shoot you anyway.

One time a friend of mine was walking in south philly with some girl he was dating, and he walked by a bunch of black kids standing on a street corner and one of them just punched him in the side of the face. He said there were about 7 of them so he just kept on walking. This was in daylight too.

No mugging, no nothing, they just punched him and laughed about it. Some people are just messed up.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Philly is very bad and I'm not proud of it. I love my city, but it's shameful that I literally can't walk through certain huge areas past 10pm without risking my life.

The crime here is so bad, and I'm pretty sure per capita it's #1 in the nation. It angers me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
