running from a guy who pulled a gun on you seems like a good way to get shot in the back. either hand over the goods, or take the gun, stick it in their mouth, and pull…

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.

Luckily enough, I’m too broke to get robbed.

Might as well be a good time to take up jiu jitsu.

STOP! you will likely never get a gun pulled on you in the mission. You might. but come on, it is not a high probability.

my boss told me a story about his sister who was held up at gunpoint around mission and 24th in the eighties. she kicked him in the balls and took off running. it’s up to you to do what you want when you’ve got a gun on you, but if you take the asshole down you’re a badass, and as far as i’m concerned you’ve earned the right to call yourself one.

Chances are high in the Mission that you may someday have a gun pulled on you. What are YOU gonna do?

You really think so? Why don’t you come to Sacramento and say that to my face? I’m not hard to find.

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?
