Self Defense Stories
*Self Defense*?
Do you guys know any recent stories in which a person got hurt because of physical damage, something that could've been stopped with self defense experience?? Thank-you*
I had a personal experience when I was younger. It really opened my eyes. I was walking down the street and 3 drunk guys started harassing me. They said that I flipped them off when I didn't and I told them I didn't want any trouble and didn't want to fight. I said everything I could to avoid the conflict, and then one of them punched me and knocked out my front tooth. When I punched him back and knocked him to the ground on his back they stopped and left me alone. The others were afraid that I would knock them down too.
The funny thing was that these guys lived in the same apartment complex as me. We had never met before and they weren't bad people. They had families and good jobs. They were just out being stupid for the night I guess. This happened over 15 years ago and I still receive checks from them in the mail every month from restitution. I had filed a police report and the police caught up with them. I never went to court but I guess the judge made them pay me anyway.
Lesson is that people are the same as animals. They prey on the weak. If you look weak you will get attacked. If you look like you can dish out some punishment you will be left alone.
I have a friend that looks mean but he is actually really nice. He has never been in a fight in his life because he is in good shape (not huge just average) and looks mean. He is very blunt when he speaks to people so he comes across as kind of a jerk in a way but people are intimidated by him.

Has anyone ever used martial arts in self-defense and called the police afterward against their attacker?
I am curious what would happen if I used my martial arts skills in self-defense and the police where called to the scene.
I know the legal "use of force ladder" in not going overkill in self-defense. I understand the technical side of it.
I was interested though in any real life stories of anyone doing that and getting the police involved.
Did you end up going to jail too? Did you have to go to court? Where you fined? Did the police let you go? What happened?
In my mind, if I was attacked, I would defend myself with reasonable force. I would then call the police afterward and tell them I had to defend myself.
I wonder how well that would really go in American society. You hear weird stories sometimes of the defender going to jail too.
No, but I heard story about how my instructor and 2 of his black belt in the past chased down a guy who walked through the class at a rec center and stole a woman's purse. This was before I started to train with them. They caught the guy. He ended up with some bruises, busted lips and some knots on his head. They held him for the police. The police asked how did he get ll of those injuries. My sensei said I don't know, but he did fall. I was just trying to help him up and keep him until you arrived. The police started laughing. He told the guy you have o be the dumbest criminal. Why in the word would you try to robbed a karate class........lol
