Sacramento: A Nice Place to Visit

I asked Devin if he’d had any kind of formal self-defense training or anything:

No, not really. I went to military school when I was younger, but I’ve always been a badass.

Good to know. Watch your backs if you ever visit Sac I guess. And try to hang with a badass like Devin.

    Dumb and lucky

    Can’t be that badass. He’s apparently the only one who comments on his own Facebook posts.

      That is a screen shot taken literally less than a minute after I posted, as it clearly shows. It is also obviously a continuation of my update. Also in addition to the 15 friends of mine who commented, now you have as well. Thanks!

      Think much?

    If you have to call yourself a badass, you probably aren’t one.

      I didn’t, my friend Allan did. When asking me if he could blog about this incident, he sent me the following question:

    Living in the mission for a few years I started to feel like that would never happen and then two years ago on a rainy sunday around 2pm a guy grabbed me by the arm and pulled a gun on me on 15th and south van ness. I instinctively pushed him against a garage door, and yelled “fuck you!” then ran down s. van ness. I looked back and this guy was not only chasing me but had pulled his beanie down into a mask. Luckily I lived on 14th and Folsom at the time and made it to my building.
