Have you ever been mugged or jumped?

I used to work for Jostens' Yearbook Division as a graphic designer, so I used to travel all over the state for weeks at a time to country towns that didn't have a shred of decent Mexican food. One night after having been gone just north of Auburn, CA for a week and a half, I just wanted to get some tacos. That's ALL I wanted. So I stopped at a taco truck that was open at 1 am just outside of Visalia.

I was wearing my slacks, dress shoes and OOPS... How could I forget... I'm in Southside gang territory (Local gang color: blue) wearing a red dress shirt with a black tie!

Upon having been personally insulted by my obviously suave and fashionable, yet unfortunately color-matched, attire some kid who couldn't have been older than 14 years old asked me where I was from. He was wearing your standard-issue "Chicano" gang attire; slacks, tank-top, blue shirt with only the top button done and sunglasses... AT NIGHT. At first I ignored him because I was just hungry and those tacos were the only thing on my mind, but then he came up and gave me a slight nudge and asked again where I was from. In my frustration I told him, I wasn't from here. "I'm from Guadalajara." This time his tone got a little more stern as he said, "Where you from? And don't get smart with me."

...

"You know what homie? I live in this town. OK? A lot of my closest friends are people you smoke with so just back the fuck up and let me get my grub on."

He then reached into his back pocket and before he could pull out whatever it was he reached for I impulsively swung hard hit him dead in the face and he went down in one hit. I didn't even wait for my food. I paid for it and told the cook to give the boy my food as an apology. I really felt bad... The boy was almost half my age; but then again... I never want to know what he was going to pull from his back.

I was just pissed anyway. It's dumb fucking spics like him that have gotten PLENTY of my friends killed over the past decade. Impulse first and ask question later. Not a smart way to roll.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm guessing you've never been to 14th St. District of Oakland, CA on a Saturday night.

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

That's not a drive-by. A drive-by is when they shoot at you. I, however, have have been in the middle of a drive-by. They weren't aiming for me but when you're in a crowd full of drunken cats at 3 am and an argument that you had NO PART IN rolls up in a rattling Buick packing pistols there's not much you can do except run and hope you don't get hit... Luckily that time no one was hurt but the following weekend my friend Sonic (his real name was Ernesto) wasn't so lucky.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
