Last Night I Was Jumped From Behind, Robbed, Beaten, Ended Up In The Hospital
Me and a friend were walking back from the pool, when we got jumped from behind, beaten, and they took my backpack which also had my wallet in it, was in and out, woke up in the hospital, bumps and bruises on head.

1. My dear Parche!
How awful!

Oh god...

I hope they didn't get any valuable papers...

Or too much of your money.

17. I don't know about Parche, but.....
I was mugged, back in 2006. The LAST things on my mind were papers and money.

I just felt very lucky to be alive. The other stuff suddenly became very unimportant to me. Those things can be replaced - but WE can't.

18. How true...
People are irreplaceable...

The only reason I said that is because money is an issue for him...

I'm sorry that you had to endure all of that.

4. That's terrible. Did your friend get hurt and robbed, too?
I hope one or both of you got a description of the thug(s).
They probably tossed your backpack and empty (of $, anyway) wallet in a nearby dumpster or trash can.
I found a purse at the park, sticking out of a trash can, with stuff scattered around that had probably been in the purse. Picked it all up and gave it to the police.

14. Very sorry to hear you were hurt.
I was similarly mugged years ago. 3 guys jumped me from behind smashed my head into the pavement and kept punching. Took my wallet and ran away.

I thought you were supposed to get a choice of "Your money or your life?" :wtf:

It's the sudden and excessive violence that is so disconcerting. Give yourself 2 months or so to begin to feel normal when out walking alone after dark. It takes time to get over the shock but you do get over it.

Take care.

19. I really don't know what to say, except that....
you're going to be okay. I don't know exactly what was taken from you, but these items can be replaced; you, however, CANNOT be replaced.

It will take time to process what happened, and move on with your life - but it will happen. And while it may sound premature to say this, you will be stronger and more aware, because of this experience. Take it from someone who knows. :hug:

21. How horrible! I'm so sorry.
:(

:hug: :loveya:

I hope you are okay. And your friend too.

I hope you didn't have much in the wallet, and have canceled any cards that were in it.

I hope you won't end up with a lot of medical bills over this.

And I hope they find whoever did this and nail them to a fucking wall! :mad:
