So some white trash prick drew a knife on my friends and I this afternoon.

[Slacker]

We're at a shopping center, got lunch at a Deli, and we're just taking a walk, when my friend notices this jackass covered in tattoos with a badly shaven mustache and a wifebeater on staring at us, and when we made eye contact with him, he approaches us. He walks just inches away from one of my friends, cocks his shoulders (ya know, to look REALLY TOUGH!) and says "ey yo, did ya just flip me the bird?!" (We didn't, for the record). My friend denies it, simply by saying "no, we didn't." Which Mr.IwannabeEminem responds with "Ya?! well my girl says you did!" There's a pause of silence, and bam, we notcie a silver shimmer in his hands. At this point, we're all silent, and my friend just says "Look, we didn't do anything. Just be cool, walk away." The jackass looks at us for about ten seconds, and then just turns away without saying anything.

Yeah, needless to say we jetted out of there pretty fast.

Yeesh, I hate the south...

You should've flipped him the bird (for real) before you ran outta there.

 

[Anthraxxx]

carry a bigger knife.....

 

[Aenama]

If it was in the middle of the mall ,I doubt that ****er would have done anything.
glad nothing happened though.

That was my original thought, but there was a good chance he was on drugs (his voice slurred, and the fact that he even drew the knife in the first place sort of shows he wasn't the brightest bulb in the socket).

Blow his ****ing arm off.


OR:

#1. Kick him in chest/hit him with baton.

#2. Throw bottle of burning acetone in the ground

#3. Hold another bottle of acetone, ready to throw.


EDIT: Seriously, if someone draws a knife against you, then you have a serious problem, which can be solved by incapaciation of the threat.

Strangelove, you should have told him "me dont spic english"

We were unarmed, he was bigger than us, and the fact that he had his weapon drawn gave him the upper hand anyway.

I don't know if you were being serious or not, but whatever.

 

[nofx]

o well this could have happened to anybody good thing you handled the situation like a person would intellect would and walked away

Yeah..... I agree with nofx, actually.


But if there were police around, you could have shouted out "NO! WAIT! DON'T STAB ME, I DON'T HAVE MONEY!"

Does Numbers remind anyone else of Dwight from The Office?

The only similar situation I can think of is when we were at Applebees and we pointed a laser dot thingy at a couple of skinheads. They got royally pissed off and started talking a bunch of shit and were threatening us ... which I have to admit was pretty ballsy as there were about ten of us. When we left they showed up in the parking lot ... and we just kinda naturally formed a circle around them ... then they just got pretty defensive and it cooled off pretty fast.

Do:::
A: Act like your a crazy motha-f*****!
B: Pretend youve got a gun in your jacket.
C: Say, "MY LAWYER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!"
D: Follow these.
E: If these fail, See number D.
F: If you think I made a typo in E, See Q.
Q: F*** YOU!

 

[Raziaar]

He was probably just a big ole teddy bear trying to appear scary to impress his girlfriend. I bet if you poked him in the belly he would of giggled like the Pillsbury Doughboy and given you a big hug.

We don't have to be readily prepared for beatings like in some countries.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Oh I forgot, go sleeper hold on the motha-f****.

Anyway, I'm sure he just wanted to show you his new shiny knife. No harm there, right?

 

[Jintor]

Good thing you were smart.

 

[mortiz]

Best thing to use is diplomacy, if that doesn't work whip out your e-penis and hit him with it. Plenty of people on this forum have huge e-penis’s they could lend you.

 

[Ravioli]

Flipped the bird? WtF? Why would you flip a bird? I dont get it...was he some kind of an animal rights person?

wtf?

 

[Dalamari]

You should have said you were on your way to hang a person with browner skin than your own, he might have joined along

 

[Llama]

If you know self defence (and have *very* good acuracy when it comes to body parts* jab him just above the sternum. If you get a good shot he'll drop like a sack of shit and wont be able to breath for a decent time.

That or palm him to the nose hard as you can - With luck you'll break it (Note: it doesnt kill people, that's a myth), he'll drop the knife in suprise / pain, you pick it up and back away still holding it in his direction.

Of course, what you did was the best course of action, but there are far more fun ways of doing things.

Ravioli: If you arn't being sarcastic, flipping the bird means sticking your middle finger up

 

[15357]

larlynx works better.

lol, we were round Lincoln lastnight and just about to go into The Annexe and as we were lining up, a huge great big skinhead jacked up on steroids charges out with a busted eye with his chavvy girlfriend in toe trying to console him. We couldn't help but laugh and i joked to my mates that theres probably a 5' guy in the club ontop of the moon for seeing this arsehole off.

 

[bliink]

The rule I was told was:
If you stop a suspect person and they pull a knife/gun/weapon, just say "Thank for stealing from [where you are working], have a nice day" and let them leave.

Luckily, I never had a knife pulled on me, I worked afterhours when criminals typically didn't try to shoplift from a shopping centre full of locked up shops.

It's never wise to become combative, unless your life is in danger.

Too bad I don't.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

The perfect comparison (although i know him moreso as Gareth).

 

[CyberPitz]

Easy way to disarm a man holding a knife in your face..

Take both of your hands, and slap them as hard as you can together, in certain points on his arm.

One hitting the back of his hand, causing his hand to open a little, and the other slapping the bottom side of his wrist, causing his arm to move, thus him dropping the knife. It works wonders.

Why the hell were you going to The Annexe, it's a ****ing shithole, and even WORSE on Saturday, bloody hell..

Worst club I've ever been to..

I was just following everyone else and wasn't really in the mood for anything as i had the worst headache due to the my cold but a lot of us just stood there at the bar watching Rocky and Rambo, which was on the screens behind the bar, and did funny little dances to impress each other before going on the dance floor for 15 minutes and then drove back to Grantham.

 

[tehsolace]

where was the part where he pulled a knife on you?? i dont see that part in the story.

That was me artistically saying he had a knife.

ahh my bad... thats what i get for reading the forums without my contacts in.

 

[Ennui]

why is everyone talking about how to defend yourself? if someone has a knife or a gun, give them whatever the **** they want. trying to pull some jackie chan shit is probably just going to end up in being stabbed or shot.

Meh, if I'm lucky he would kill me after I knock the shit out of him.

 

[Ennui]

if someone held me up with a gun, i'd throw my wallet at them. the closest i ever got to that is when i was with some friends a couple years ago and some other kids tried to jump us - but there were 4 of us and 2 of them, and they ran away when both one of my friends and I pulled knives.

 

[CyberPitz]

Meh, depends on how far away they are..and how antsy they seem. Most trash like that who just walk up to random people and demand things are either on something, or are lacking said something and are needing it REAL bad. Thus you have the advantage right there.

Now if they are more than an arms length away...I'd just turn around and start to walk. Most people would rather have free money then shoot some guy and draw attention to themselves. they'd go somewhere else...

 

[Ennui]

I don't think I'd take the risk. If you're wrong, you're pretty ****ed.

 

[joule]

Knives are for pussies. Put your dukes up and be a man ffs.
