I couldn't post this yesterday because my keyboard died.
Anyways, I walk downtown from my job because it's easier and faster to get a cab that way. It's about 2:30am. Once I get down there, in a nice, well lit and heavily population center of the city, a group of idiot drunk college kids and/or gang members are standing outside of the Superman building. They start yelling at me when I walk by, just slurs and the usual tripe which I ignore...and then one of them decides to grab my shoulder.
Now, I had a rough night at work. I wanted to go home. I drove 600 miles roundtrip BEFORE going into work, this guy was lucky I didn't turn him into my personal punching bag...I reach over, grab his hand, turn around, step back and apply enough pressure until he goes down, I feel his wrist pop and he squeals.
I let go, look at the rest of the guys and say, "So, anyone else want to lay a hand on me?"
And suddenly, Providence is silent.
I get in my cab, and the driver goes, "You alright?!"
I go, "Oh, I'm fine, dunno about him though."
No, I didn't call the cops. I didn't want to wait around or give anyone my name or means to ID me. (I was wearing all black, like every other server in Providence does.) If I executed the move properly, there's no way that idiot could lie to a doctor about what happened, the break/sprain/dislocation would had to occur in such a way that it couldn't be done by a fall or punch. If he would have fallen on his wrist the way I popped it, his arm would have been locked and his elbow and shoulder would have gotten dislocated.
I hope he went to the hospital, I hope he lied, and the doctor went, "Yeah, sure."
And I hope, after the cast is off, that he thinks twice about grabbing mine or any other girl's shoulder because he wanted to be tough at 2am in downtown Providence, because next time, I won't be so nice.
...Of course next time he could have a gun, so I guess I'll deal with calling a cab and waiting the extra half hour on top of College Hill.
:mittens:
Next time, work his ass over a bit. It's for his own good.
:( Glad you kicked his ass and didn't stick around to take names, but yeah, I think a cab is in order... :( Poor Suu!
Just like the Dok said in another thread...nothing is sacred. I don't fear Providence, if anything, Providence fears me, but that won't stop me from yielding to a firearm.
The fact that it happened RIGHT DOWNTOWN with HUNDREDS of people still out and about really bothers me. I walked down a really dark hill and there was nothing. I live in what is considered one of the worst areas of the city and no one hurts anyone...the minute the fucking IVY LEAGUERS come back to school though, someone tries to fuck with me.
"This town needs an enema!"

I think revenge is in order, on a grotesquely inappropriate scale.
Like, say, the whole student body.
I *do* work on campus. :evil:

And you have your hands on their food and alcohol.
:lulz:
Yeah, Suu! Fuck them stupid motherfuckers the fuck up! Fuck yeah!
If he touches you again, break both his legs. :argh!:
Rich, spoiled, ivy-league dicks!
Excellent. The world needs more magnificent wrath.
WRRAAATH
Anyway, mittens to Doktor Princess.
:mittens:
Suu I'm glad you are ok.
As for the stupid little rich boy..... He should be thanking you for teaching him a valuable lesson, however, problem is he's sure to be the type to do this again and next time the girl he touches may be packing.....
Decisions decisions.... broken wrist, shooting the hand off......
It's really 6 of one half dozen the other right?
Well, I COULD have curb stomped him...
Wouldn't have had the same "what just happened?" effect, though.
Which is exactly what I wanted. I didn't want to kill the kid, just embarrass the shit out of him and scare the crap out of everyone else.
Hell yes Suu.
:mittens:
Well done Suu.
The last time I had to do a wristlock was quite a number of years ago on a drunk jackass that tried to steal my biking gloves. Though I was kinder and eased him onto his back without breaking anything so he could enjoy the rest of the party.
Battle Nuns!
Discordia has them!
:mittens:
I honestly didn't know that could be done outside of kung-fu movies.

Sometimes fear of "I don't know what the hell she just did to him, but he went down like a motherfucker.... immediately" is a more effective sort of scary then "she just beat the shit out of him over the course of the past 10 minutes."
Well done!
You. Are. My. Fucking. Hero.

The worst things in the world happen while everyone stands around watching.
Nobody lifts a finger to help out their fellow man cause they don't want to get involved.
Sad.

"Bystander effect" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect)
IS WHAT I JUST SAID
Good for you Grrl, next time he'll think twice before pulling a stunt like that. Every day that he wakes up, and realises he can't nurse his morning glory to satisfaction with a plaster cast on, will drive the point of this lesson home a little deeper.

Yup. I read a while ago that NY Police advised any woman who is attacked by a would be rapist, to yell "FIRE" at the top of her voice, because anyone passing would be far more likely to respond to this, than if she were to yell "Rape"!
Sadly, that's one little bit of modern life that would fit right into Dok's "Horror" thread.
my dad told me that 21 years ago.

Bloody good advice. I told it to my daughter
before I showed her the best ways to disable anyone for long enough to get away from them.
