I'm guessing "completely through ...tricep ... and bicep..." as in right through without stopping, as opposed to completely severing/bisecting the muscles. But, just guessing; and that would make more sense.
 
Wow! That is one heck of a story! You are lucky to be alive. As someone else said, you survived, so you did the right thing. The property isn't worth your life, but I think I would have done the same thing. Not because I'm some macho man, but because I'm sure I would have underestimated the speed of a knife. When you are armed with a firearm, you do have a certain feeling of being invinceable. Can you give us a link to the newspaper story, or at least as someone else said, the district it happened in?

about six years ago I was jumped because some crazy thought I was a skinhead (like you tactical one I have a shaved head but am basically the opposite of a racist i just happen to be going bald early and decided to shave it all) It's hard to say for sure but i would bet that you would have been cut either way and worse if you hadn't put the cur down. I believe that he had declared war against you from the get go due to your hairstyle and if the stick up had gone well he would figure you for a punk that he would be able to hurt badly. This dog declared himself your enemy and it was your duty to SURVIVE. Survive to go home to your wife. Survive to do what you do from day to day. thank you for this example of an incident where the GOOD GUY gets to Survive

You focused through the pain, kept your head and got the job done and saved your own life. It was your life or his. He might have slashed you anyway, even if you had given up the wallet just to " teach you". You did the right thing. If he had died it would have been perfect justice. Prison is too good for scum like that. He might learn to change his habits by the time he gets out. Next time the victim may not have been as lucky. I am glad you will recover. Get better and sorry to see you hurt. You have now seen the elephant. You Came through with flying colors I might add.
 
Number (1) is just luck of the draw, no pun intended. Good thing you didn't go for a second shot, though; that would probably have been contrued as murder.


Their is not much that can not be construde as murder. If he fired one shot I can paint him as a cold stone killer with a good aim who only had to fire once to have his desired effect.

If he fired a 2-tap then he is a hard drilled stone killer whose training is to make sure that he kills his mark.


Stop worrying what a lawyer will think. They generaly don't do that much.
 
Ok, for those that don't know, this post is also open in the Community forum. There are some posts there (an additional one from TTO) that show some pretty good evidence that this incident is total BS.

I rather wouldn't judge whether or not this is true.... I'll just say this:

If it is untrue, then... why? Why bother? Attention?
Whether it's true or not, I stand by what I said about these types of circumstances.

So maybe it's true, maybe it's exaggerated truth, or maybe it's total BS, you be the judge.
 
Thank you, ThinkOfTheChildren. I sort of alluded to that in my earlier post with the link to the D.C. crime reports site. No one picked up on it. It's odd how so many people can operate without any semblance of a "BS" detector when it's a neat story, something they want to believe.
 
mnblade,

I don't think it's that people really want to believe the story, I think it's that people want to believe the person. You get what I'm saying? We like to think of ourselves as a nice litte community here (despite being over 10,000 members) and we try to take everyone for their word. Ocassionally people take advantage of that, whether it's scamming someone in a deal or just lying for any other reason. It's a shame when it happens but it's just one of those things that's going to happen from time to time. Oh well.

hso,

I'm sorry if I came accross harshly. This argument just brought some memories back that I rather wouldn't remember. When those memories do surface, I tend to get pissy. I didn't mean to lash out at you just because your opinion differs from mine.
 
wow guys I guess It just didn't occur to me that someone would come on here and b.s about something like that. Plus i've been reading the last couple of books in the Rouge Warrior series by Richard Marcinko lately and after reading that you start to think that tactically anything is possible. (if you've read any of the books you definately know what I mean). I've had my b.s. detector on when others have said stuff about their new knife going through so many strips of cardboard or hacking through such and such limb. just friendly little exaggerations. Now that something big came along I didn't even question it. Well ya got me TTO. good one! I was just thinking the other day that most violent stabbings and incidents involved with knives don't happen with higher end knives. your story "proved " me wrong. now I feel better about my earlier opinion,
 
I bought into it because It never occured to me there would be a motive for making it up. Also at one point after that post he said he lived in PA. So I did not question the gun. I figured he had a permit. What could someone gain by this. He really did not emblish the story. It was just a couple paragraphs. He could have made up a lot better one really. Also if someone pulled a tufram civie on me, I would know what it was. So I did not question that part. It is odd that he is not more worried about his recovery, legal bills and odd he is not more enraged at the guy for what he did. But why add the part about how he will never pull his civie or matriarch on somebody. Its just too painful. Think he really got cut bad, just goofing around? Even for faking it, something is not right here.
 
now i have no clue as to the authenticity of the story, i would like to belive its true but i am skeptical of many stories now a days - example - have ya ever wondered what happened to all the clerks, etc in the viet nam war? the casualty rate of clerks etc musta been enormous, as ya NEVER meet one - many seals, recon, pilots, etc but no REMF ever - whats up w/this?

true story so help me god - an individual we knew claimed to have been a pilot in D troop 1/7 cav in nam, 2 tours, 1 in charlie mike gunships, and one in cobras - claimed to still be in the reserves as a captain, had a uniform, also used to fly w/the 'flying tigers' air transport company (he had a uniform....) had PTSD, really played on sympathy etc - had a sabre and boots above his bed - but a few oddities:

he wore unauthorised patches on his uniform (ya know, cobra, etc patches, big no no ) and often wore his uniform w/tennis shoes (i used to tell him mike ya gonna get in trouble about that)

a bud of mine is a fixed/rotor wing rated pilot, and he took mike flying in a robinson R22, and it was very evident that he had never flown a thing, well, not a airplane/helicopter anyway (why would he go when he knew my bud was gonna give him an op to fly when he knew he didnt know how? beats me!)

finally he was arrested at the PX at camp mabry in austin texas (again wearing tennis shoes in uniform) trying to buy some patches or something for representing himself as a soldier

we sent off to DOD, after a bud got his DOB and SS #, and got his DD214(yes he had been in the army after all) he was a medic and was in korea in '73, w/a gen'l discharge - nuff said huh??

why do people do this?? i guess attention

just a funny story (i would give $100 for a pic of the idiot trying to fly lol) and in no way suggests the guy wasnt attacked and stabbed as in his post

I've been off BF for a couple days and now I found this. It sounded believable enough, but I immediately began thinking about police reports or news stories, and couldn't wait to see a link to one or another...

So when mnblades posted his link to DC police reports, I was glad, and suspected he was doing this to "encourage verification." Now, three days later, I don't see any. It doesn't look good. I'll go to Community and see what's up there. A shooting and slashing incident like this, with admitted police involvement, should be VERY easy to verify.

I hope it ISN'T "just a story..."

Ok let me get a few things clear as i see on Bladeforums and here there is some doubt to my honesty.

1. I Live In PA i list DC as location simply as a matter of not wanting people to have too much info on me i'm paranoid that way i'll leave it at that

2. I do carry a licensed firearm either a HK USP40 OR USP45 mark 23

3. I'M still In the Hospital and no i will not disclose what hospital for fear of retaliation from my attackers friends/family

4. Just because i'm posting doesn't mean i'm home ever hear of a laptop and there is a phoneline in my room that i have permission to use my computer on

5. Let me clarify a few details on my arm. There is very little tendon damage. none that will require a surgeon. My bicep was about 85% severed meaning there is only 15% on th emuscle intact. the cut also went through about 30% of my tricep. i have been through the surgery to reconect the muscle tissue and will be discharged sometime next week

6. If i were going to bullsh*t a story about this attack it would have been some hollywood movie BS where i managed to take out the BG and a few of his friends , reload and take aout a few more. cauterize my arm with my hot gun barrel and walk home like nothing happened. but thats not what hapened.
I posted a brief few paragraphes about what happened. that was all except for my sentance about whether i did the right thing by discharging my weapon of even pulling it in the first place

7. The reason i have not been posting responses in the forums that i made the original post in is because after people started to attack my honesty character and integrity i decided to let it wander and see were it ended up and quite honestly i don't think i've ever been more offended in my life. the ONLY time i have ever been untruthful on the forums is when i state i'm from DC and i due that to protect myself as i stated above i am overparanoid about personal info over the internet.

8. its not in any newspaper or TV because i wouldn't allow it because i wasn't attacked by a single ass hole looking for a quick few $$ i was attacked my a gang member and have a wife and family to worry about them not having to worry about them getting attacked. so it was kept out of the news. its not luke reporters have ESP they only now about things like this if someone calls and tells them about it.

any other questions i will answer through email at MBQUARTRX7@aol.com

PS this will be posted in its entirety in all 3 forums this topic is posted in
