I got mugged

Yeah fellas, this isnt a joke. Last night around 130am by a parking garage. I was punched multiple times in the head/face, and I just threw all the cash I had and ran.

I am safe and fine, just bruises and stuff. Only real issue is that this happened right by my house(on campus) and that is scary as hell. I reported everything to the police, but I highly doubt they are gonna catch this guy. I guess just a reminder to all the people out there in college, or any age to be safe and always walk with multiple people late at night. Especially when drunk.

I just thank God I am alive to post this message here. At one point when I was being robbed I was fearful for my life.

Sorry to hear that man, hope you are alright. As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Do they have any idea who the guy was? Does he go to the school?

Oh my Gosh!
Praise God you are alive to tell about this. I'm so sorry to hear this brother.
Prayers going up as I type for you man.
peace and healing

Thanks guys, so much. It might seem silly but your posts mean a lot because I dont really have many people to tell. I dont know if I want to tell every single person I know, I am still thinking about not telling my parents because they will freak out.

So far I have told a selected few, so I guess it is nice talk about this stuff on the internet as "hooskins".

jeez that's scary man, glad you're ok

Dude that sucks. Glad it wasn't worse. Makes you want to take a class on kickboxing or something.

Scary here too cus yer just 20 minutes west of me. My area around my house is not bad but even parts of my town are scary these days.

Did you have someone check yer wounds? Ya get cleaned up?

Yeah the cop took pictures, and he wasnt too worried so I guess he kinda knew I didnt need immediate attention. I thought it wasnt too bad last night, but I guess being drunk made it hurt less.

Right now I have a black eye, busted lip, swollen places on my face, and my heads hurts because of punches.

And I agree SBF, sometimes anyplace can be dangerous. I feel like I have taken living in the safe place of NOVA for granted, Charlottesville has a much dangerous population. I know this too and I was a freaking idiot for being alone and not just leaving the garage when I saw that guy. I had that feeling in my gut that something is wrong right when I entered the place, and I should have followed my instinct. Using that gut reaction is right 99% of the time.

Yeah, or just get a bit bigger which has been one of my goals. I have been working out and all that stuff alot more but this only motivates me.

I was actually taller than the guy who did this, and I would think stronger. But he was sober and caught me by surprise. I also didnt know wtf was happening and there wasnt enough time to reach. See I didnt even know if he had other people around him or what not, so I decided not to retaliate.

Should I have?

Don't put too much thought into it, it has happened to a lot of people, include yours truly. No sense in worry about things like this. Personally, I wouldn't tell my parents because they would freak out and it would occupy their minds for a long long time but that's just me.

Now if you see your parents all the time and you got a black eye, you got to tell them. "I got jumped, got in couple of shots of my own in there, I'm alright" should suffice.
