Jesus that's terrible, sorry to hear about your exp and during the holiday season too, I guess some people are really fucking short of money for drugs.

I would just say one thing Onion, you are 22 years old, I would maybe consider putting a small bit of time into this such as considering walking with company or just even making sure if you are walking somewhere it isn't alone (quiet streets) but really you have gone 1/4 of your life without experiencing something like this so the chances of it happening to you again are lower now than before, I'm just saying from a statistical point of view you have had your run in with a criminal prick (hopefully) and I think it would just be letting him win more so if you focus more on it and invest a ton of time and energy into getting a Gun to bring with you or spending a load of time on self defense lessons.

The lessons are not a bad thing to do if you happen to have the time and want to meet new people though! even just going to those might help you find people to walk about with during this sort of scenario so it would protect you more than the lessons themselves, but really don't let scum effect your life more by changing how you live because of them.

(except maybe change to something less easy to snatch like inside pockets or a backpack)

Sorry again for the encounter you had though. fucking assholes everywhere.

yes, that's what matters honestly 

sadly I'm a samsung user and thankfully I did all that stuff.

about the tattoo and the haircut, sounds exciting <3

You just have to be careful, and don't let him take that away from you. Did you call the police? Some of my girlfriends would tell me they carry pepper spray, I guess having that sort of thing gives you a sense of power. Taking a class won't hurt, but anything can happen. Just be thankful you're okay!

thank you very much, and yes the police was being very helpful and now I feel bad because I was one of those "fuck the police" individuals 

thanks. If I see him again I will fly and run and scream "rapeeeee"

You shouldn't wish cancer on anyone that's fucked up. 

lmaooo <3

very important because I don't wanna die, thanks

Sorry to hear and glad you are ok.

When you start talking knifes and guns you better be prepared to kill and live with it. because if you attempt to kill it will aggravate the attacker and you end up dead. Also who know what gear they are packing on them.

Pepper spray is useful, perhaps also one of those noise alarm you can buy. It makes a lot of noise when you pull the pin out (similar to grenade pin). That would most likely spook them off as they don't want to be seen committing a crime and they just run away.

My wife used to do taekwondo and got to a 1st dan. but because she didn't keep practicing for over 10 years due to an injury from competition she is basically useless in defense anyway against a man because she is weak and small and not as quick and agile as she was. You will need to keep up the training and tone up some muscles. I'm sure you be able to take some down with a few lessons, but if you don't maintain training your false sense of security thinking you can take anyone down when in reality you can't will hurt you.

When you are out at night carry light. By that i mean keep your credit card and phone in pocket and don't bring a purse or handbag. Or use your handbag as a decoy, and carry the important things on your body.

I suggest you move to Canada or Australia. Less violence.
