>Time is 1:42am in the UK>Actual snowstorm covering my town>Decide "Hey I'm a fat autistic POS, lets go for a walk since snow is cool">Gear up in boots and scarf with gloves ready for a nice hour long walk So there I am walking up a hill enjoying the peace and scenery. I am a fat mid twenties male so I am not really expecting what happens next. I see over the crest, a man walking in the middle of the road towards my direction. I think nothing of it because why the fuck is anyone dodgy going to be out at this time? So I continue walking up the hill thinking nothing of it. As we get closer to eachother he sneakily starts walking onto the pavement in front of me. I'm a bit weirded out at this point so I go "Alright mate?" as a friendly gesture. He doesn't respond, I call again and he still doesn't respond. Might be my imagination but I swear he was walking brisker at me. Now I am really pissed off what I did next because I ran like hell. It's almost 2am, the roads are dead and its just me and him, I've never had a proper fight in my life and all I'm thinking in my head is "GUY HAS A KNIFE AND IS PROBABLY A MIGRANT". I am a fat bastard but somehow the adrenaline made me speed away faster than I've ever known. Despite the snow I didn't slip. So what the fuck was the guy's problem? Why did he start walking on the pavement only when we were crossing paths? My town isn't known for things like this but occasionally it does happen. I'm just so pissed off man because I feel like a coward. Still thats the most running I've done in years so I was coughing my lungs up for 10 minutes after.Maybe I should join a boxing gym.
The only news I get across the pond about bongland is about a thirdie killing someone with a knife…or ironically orwellian censorship laws
If you cant own a guy carry a bit ass knife. If you are out at a weird time act weird. Get it?
>>2856884I fucking thought about it as well. I should have brought something. I just didn't expect that in england some nutter would be walking around in ankle deep snow you know?
>>2856885Other people are always the most dangerous factor it pays to always expect an attack.
>>2856882You probably did the right thing. Sounds like the stranger was a negro, judging by his behavior.
>>2856932He was as well haha
>>2856882Running away was absolutely the right choice. There is no need to feel even a tiny bit like a coward, for there is no point whatsoever in taking the risk of an encounter with a shady ass nigga in the middle of the night with no withnesses. It is correct to trust your instincts, because your subconscious is picking up behaviour patterns and reaching a faster conclusion than our shitty ass social construct considering brain.There was a cop killings thread in /gif/ a month ago. This psycho pretended to be the caller when the cop approached him. The moment the cop got in range he drew a knife from his sleeve and stabbed the cop in the neck. Cop's first mistake was applying to social constructs that are built around mutual trust, against a psychopath. His second mistake was losing his cool when his opponent pulled a knife on him. If he turned his back and ran away, he stalls with the chase and pulls his gun, making the guy swiss cheese. He was startled and stumbled backwards, which gave the psycho the opportunity to butcher him. He died screaming "no no no please don't", blood gushing out of his throat against a vile scum that was mumbling something about owning him for messing with him like a nigglet in a cod lobby. That video fucked me up for a good week.It is an understatement to say, there are countless people with no fault or clue to their immediate demise the next moment, doing the most mundane things in their times of death in all history. Some get the time to see and fear it a full second.Social constructs fail where there is no society to uphold them, or if the breaching party has no fear of consequences for any reason. This is the price we pay going out, for we have to face the raw human psyche that has the capability to torture and kill out of curiosity or fun.I am glad you are alive and here to tell it. Next time have some means of protection on you, and always be alert going /out/.
>>2856882But aren’t knives illegal? I know slightly harsh words are.
>>2856882I know that feel bro.I was walking around a football field in the carpark when a car coming my way stops just metres from me, then a guy gets out and starts walking towards me, hands in pockets and not saying a word. I learned that night that I am definitely a flight guy, not a fight guy. My legs just moved by instinct, and they didn't stop until the danger was gone.
fuck that man you should have crouched low and began running at him full sprint, aim for the knees
>>2856882>in the UKTbh I just stopped reading. If you're anything like the bongs I've worked with then you're a creeper
>>2856936 was about to say maybe he is mentally ill and looking for some feedback that could have gone negative real fast.
>>2856882Vote for the most right wing party that is possible.And carry a weapon.Britain isn't a safe little island of like-minded people any more that grew up together for the last 1500 years. Instead it's a violent African and Muslim prison island, and in most cities and towns they outnumber you. The police will NOT help you, they will arrest you if you try to fight back against someone attacking you.Gone are the days of Postman Pat. You can't trust your neighbours any more because they came from 3000 miles away in the last few years and they literally hate you.
I don't know about all that. I mostly like to go hiking in the cold up a long mountain trail far from cities in America. It's a combination that seems to naturally filter out almost everyone other than kind white folks who can strike up a casual conversation with you or just say hello as you pass on the trail. Must suck living in a bug city.
>>2856882Did you get stabbed?No, you did the right thing.Sorry about your country thoguh.
>>2856882this reminds me one time when i was walking to the train from my house in the early morning hours and the walk was a good 30-45 mins so i decided to run it instead to make it quicker but as i ran past some guy who was also presumeably walking to the train he decided to start running too ! after a few blocks of this i turned around and asked "why are you running?!" to which he replied "why are YOU running?"
>>2856882If the guy randomly started walking towards you and ignored not one but two attempts you made to talk to him then you probably made the right call by running. Another proper person out at that time would have walked as far away from you on the other side of the road as possible because they would have been just as wary of you as you are of them. The fact that he was seemingly trying to get close to you all alone in the middle of the street at night immediately makes his intentions suspect. Normally people try to avoid each other.Carrying knoives in the UK is illegal or something so I suggest you carry a wrench or pipe or something you can just discard if need be and wont be as concerning as someone finding a random knife on the ground.
>>2856882>GUY HAS A KNIFE AND IS PROBABLY A MIGRANTIf you're in a town in the UK the chance of crime is basically zero. Even lower if you aren't near bars/clubs/pubs at night. Just to make the point that you shouldn't let this make you schizo and paranoid about being out and about. Also most people in the UK have never been in a fight.>Maybe i should join a boxing gymNo you should go and do some cardio, you are not going to box your way out of a knife fight. Running was the exact right thing to do.>>2859399Carrying wrench/pipe is effectively as illegal in self defence terms as carrying a knife, it'll still be taken as evidence if found because our police are hyper 'tistic about "weapons". It's better to carry a large flashlight because you have "legitimate reason" to be carrying it. This is the defacto standard for anyone with brains worried about self defence here.But reality is because guns are illegal for carry your best tool is always good cardio.tl;dr Buy a powerful flashlight, running shoes and a gym membership. Fighting for ego's sake is the most stupid thing you can do because unlike what people believe, 90% of fights end up with both people equally injured and even if you're trained you're still likely to get hurt badly.
>>2856882>fat man leaves basement and goes outside>sees another human>runsIs there an /in/ forum you might enjoy?
>>2859576This is the only valid response. You live in one of the safest places in the world in history. You're alright mate. If you go schizoid, the assholes win. Theres a 90% chance the guy had his headphones in and was listening to some droopy pop balad. Then theres a 9.999% chance he was as autistic as you. That last 0.001% is divided by actual psychos (who dont murder the vast majority of people they meet) and deaf people (who also dont generally murder random passers-by.
>>2859842Are you sure about deaf people?
>>2859956It's not deaf people you have to worry about, it's the blind.>I didn't see him, he must have ran into my knife 20 times officer>No witnesses, not even himself
