Tonight, on the way back from town, some perv tried to grope my wife on the train. I, well, told him to fuck off and we moved to another seat. Got home, called the police, reported it. Better yet, since we'd been out with some friends from Canada, I had my digital camera with me and got a pic of the guy.
My wife's fine, she's asleep. But I'm totally frazzled now, I'm not used to encountering this sort of thing. I can be quite a scary guy, no-one fucks with me. But I can't protect my wife from this shit, and she's sitting right next to me.
I don't know what's going to happen, the least I can hope for is it goes on the national crime database and next time he tries something and it gets reported, it'll ring a few bells.

Nothing like a punch in the eye to make some perv-o think twice next time. No cop I know would hassle you over socking some creep a good one: you're protecting your wife after all.
Posted by Veers (Member # 661) on :
Good thing you got a picture of him. Most people can't tell the police anything other than what happened and a description of the perpetrator.

You have the right and responsibility to enact immediate response to such aggression in a way that ensures the cessation of the attack, the least amount of harm to yourself and wife, and an exceptable minimum of damage to the antagonist while establishing that further overt behaviour will result in an escalation of the response.
The stupidity of what our society has been taught is to give in to aggressors. "Just give them what they want" mentality. Criminals now know that they don't have to fear consequences of their actions and that the society in general have become unable to defend themselves. There are never cops around when someone is getting attacked, you HAVE to defend yourself.
The shame of our age is that society now fears criminals rather than criminals fearing society.

Have her (or both of you) take self-defense. I'm taking it with school at the moment, and it's empowering to know that you can have the skill to beat people up if you ever need to. With good techniques a small person can take down a larger person, too.

I gotta say, I most likely would have laid hands on this fella too. I don't tend to like confrontation, but if some jag off had grabbed my wife's crotch, I think he would've quickly found himself with my foot on his throat.
So I admire your restraint, but I believe everyone is correct when they say it would've been considered self defense. You had every right to end the assault with a proportionate response.
Hope you feel better, man. The sad thing is, it's hard to protect ourselves or others from the crap of stupid people. It's the totally unbelieveable crap like this that always gets you off guard.
Posted by Styrofoaman (Member # 706) on :
My wife has a funny habit of loosing her temper and becoming violent at the drop of a hat. In fact she almost went to jail a couple of times... if it hadn't been "self defense" she'd have gone to jail for busting up that clerk at the Hess station. He DID put his hand on hers, to try to calm her down... Much to his regret. To the tune of a broken arm/shoulder/hand/nose.
Well, its not really that funny. We're working on controlling the rage. Wich is alot like trying to contain a nuclear explosion in a plastic jar.

I now have something in common with Lee. Some jackass in the video store the other night accosted Julie and grabbed her cane , almost knocking her over (she suspects he wanted her to fall into his arms), while I was on the other side of the store.
Julie FAILED to call for help because she "didn't want to cause a scene." He was gone before she wandered over and told me about it... which almost pisses me off as much as the incident in the first place.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Bastard grabbed you wife's CANE!?! Man, they'd have been removing that cxane from the guy's rectum if I was there!
I never see that kind of crap in Fort Lauderdale. We're hardly a "big city" though either.
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
What?! She presumably needs this cane to walk, right? So this asshole knocks her over? What fucking planet do these people come from? Unfortunately Kate also didn't tell me initially because she was afraid of what I might do.
Restraint? I guess. The fact is, I knew that if I went for this guy I was going to kill him. I've always wanted to try that punching his nose into his brain thing. . .
So what's happening with that incident? Did you report it? Maybe the video store will have CCV. . . I didn't hear form the police today, but I'm not giving up, I'm going to chase them on it.
I spoke to a good friend who works for one of the News International papers (Murdock's lot) but he said it's unlikely they'd show any interest in the story. So here's what I'll likely do. . .
First, get a Hotmail account. Something like '[email protected]' - can anyone think of a better (and more rememberable) name? Then, put it on a colour flyer with perv's face, and plaster them all over London to Brighton trains. And see what happens.
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
The cane helps keep her steady, yes. She has monere's syndrome, which can cause severe vertigo attacks. Like I said, I missed the assault.
I informed the store people, although Julie didn't want me to. She wasn't much help with a description. They said that they'd look over the surveilance and see if they could get anything, and if they did they'd contact me and ban him from the store.
They said they could have been of more help if she'd said something while he was still in the store. Nice folks.
Anyway, the vicious part of me REALLY hopes we see him again. I have a lot of repressed hostility to work out.
They'll wonder why I'm calling him different names while I'm beating him...

I guess what I want to know is, where are all these sickos coming from? Have they always existed throughout history, and it was either a) not illegal, or b) just not mentioned (like serial killers in Soviet Russia, "there are no serial killers in worker's paradise, is decadent Western phenomenon only")?
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
Oh, I think they've always been there to some extent... but as population increases and morals go down hill... people are getting worse. Plus some people are just clinically messed in the head. Doesn't mean they don't deserve a good whoopin' for something like that.
Posted by Wraith (Member # 779) on :
They've always been there. Just more are a)getting caught or b) are no longer viewed as being completely ga-ga and locked up for life in Bedlam. Not to mention the arguement to be made for the dilution of morals since the 1960s- just look at the declining Church attendance. Social cohesion has also been undermined in recent years by the New Right emphasis on inherantly unstable market institutions and the resurrection of laissez faire economics. Of course, welfare handouts also have their own problems...
Part of it is also the decline in discipline as a whole caused, IMO, by the current feeling that it is not acceptable to pass judgement on any but the most extreme of behavoir.

Why do women do such stupid things like not raising a ruckus at such times.... Do they find being assualted flattering in some fucked up way????

We may have to. Partly because I'm not convinced it's a factor. All church-imposed morals ever led to was the Eleventh Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Get Caught - and a great deal of hypocrisy. Not that I'm necessarily blaming the Church, or Christianity in general.
Posted by Wraith (Member # 779) on :
Good point. But while church induced morals didn't take hold throughout the whole population, there is certainly something to be said for them affecting a significant portion of the population, as well as giving a common basis for secular morals and society and social cohesion and stability.
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
I don't see that at all Lee, even and atheist can follow a majority of the Big 10, the first one is a natural no go, but what the heck....
Several of the atheists here have mentioned killing is wrong, to use this as an example, so is this a church imposed moral???
I would imagine these same people think that adultry is wrong also, same question....
Now, if you are talking about ignorant ones, like days that you can change your underware/pants, then I have to agree.....
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
I didn't need the Church to tell me killing was wrong. And how effective is that proscription anyway. Omega, probably the most Christian among us, supports the death penalty. But we really don't want to get into all that again, if I read another debate on the translation of ancient Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek/Latin again I'll scream.
Just phoned for an update, hopefully a Sergeant should get in touch tomorrow and will probably want my CompactFlash card as evidence. Just as well I had my spare one in there, I suspect my main card has some naughty pictures on it. 8)

I really don't have to worry about my wife being attacked. I have to worry about her controlling her temper and not maiming people because Coke and Pesi are not the same thing, people tapping her on the shoulder, and other minor transgressions.

See... I can understand getting caught looking. I mean, men look. And let's not kid ourselves, so do women. But where can anyone get the idea that it might be ok to just go up to a woman and try to grab her chest!? Geez! I think it's more a matter of stupidity than anything else.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Completely untrue, by any measure. Further, Christianity is not a set of rules, or at least it's not supposed to be. It's a way of living your life as God intended life to be lived. You can't impose that kind of morality, because it's based on your central character, who you really are.
Omega, probably the most Christian among us supports the death penalty.
I believe you'd have trouble determining that from my last couple years worth of posts. I HAVE supported the death penalty, but that doesn't mean I currently do.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
FUUUUUCKKKK!!!! Omega has started his "in defense of Christianity" bit! Soon this will become a fifteen page thread on theology and we'll lost the topic alltogether...
While I should make a joke about christians, morals, hypocracy and perverts, I'll let it slide to keep the thread kind on track.

I too, don't want this to get into a lengthy discussion about Christianity. I only wanted to downplay someone's assertion that a decline in church-going was a major factor in any decline in morality.
As for whether or not Stephen supports the death penalty, all I can remember are the older posts - I don't recall anything very recent, but then I did go through a phase of not reading the Flameboard.
As for Jason's question, no, I should be speaking to someone tomorrow about handing over the card from my camera so they can take a look.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Make a backup copy of that file, for pete's sake! It'd suck for the card to get lost in the shuffle or whatever. You could also make a print of the pic to give to the local transit authority.

It's the defensive player in football that lines up directly across from the center and, at the snap of the ball, attempts to snap the center's head off. Typically, the noseguard is double-teamed by opposing offenses, cut-block and generally in a foul mood towards the opponent.

Like Curly Fries?
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
Yes, only the kind with a heavy touch of curry...
Although I shouldn't bring that up....

It's a Lynyrd Skynyrd song, and to suggest that it is bold-worthy old is kind of chronocentric.
And I just watched the Buffy episode where Giles sings "Freebird." OH MY GOD IT IS LIKE A COSMIC COINCIDENCE!!
I hate myself.
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
I would too, if I were reapeating in a different fashion what Nim had said....
Like I said, my memory is a little foggy....

Foiled yet again.

Well it's a...coffee-table book.

Policeman's here now, taking statements.
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
He's taking statements and your onine???
As bad as me online on my anniversary....
So, did he like the guys picture???
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
Well, he had to write them out once he'd listened to us and made notes. And he was very impressed with the photo. 8)
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
He didint ask you to reenact the crime did he? 'Cause there's this website where they do that and...

Kate saw the asshole on her regular morning train the other day. . . He spent the whole time staring at her. She called the police when she got to work, and they told her that if he appears again, and she feels threatened in any way, to dial 999.
But now I know which station he goes to in the morning. . . It appears that, like us, he was getting a train from Victoria that night because our usual train line closes early for ewngineering work. Information is power!
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
So, is it now time for Lee to play mind games???
Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :
I was thinking more in terms of playing "kick him in front of a moving train" games, but hey, we can play it your way. . .
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Buy a taser: zap him good from behind and then yell: "Hey, this guy's siezing!" and then do a little half-assed "CPR" to break his sternum nice ad legal while he's consious but unable to talk...

Not familiar with this term. Must be one of those bloody britishisms.

Pleased the police came around at last. Do NOT taser/pepper spray or otherwise damage the guy Lee. I've got one friend in gaol I don't want another one!
And just going back a few pages....when did Star Trek fans start getting big, built and fit...why did I only meet the skinny short ones? If I'd known there was another variety on the way I might have not hooked up with a girl because she was the only Trek fan I could find taller than me!!

29 years old, 6'1", 165 lbs. (at the moment, ~10 lbs. below my old "fighting weight"), twelve years of fencing and other swordwork, six years of shooting, fourteen years of archery, thirteen years of sporadic aikido, and ask Chris Martin (Topher) about my starship design/drafting abilities.
There are a lot of geeks and dorks out there, including the stereotypical ones who give s/f fans a bad image, but there are also those of us who are not. No one I know can geek out more than I can, but I'm a good case that one doesn't have to be short, fat, spotty, and have bad eyesight and dandruff to do it.

"gaol"
England!
Posted by Ultra Magnus (Member # 239) on :
Also: I am trying to nail one of the two English girls in my Film History class. I know "Hey, uh uh, I hear you guys say 'fag' instead of 'cigarette,' do you smoke fags?" or "Do you like football?" or "Do you like the Beatles?" or "Why the hell are your teeth so poor?" are not good introductory statements.
Advice.

I'm huge. That's all that matters. B)
Posted by Styrofoaman (Member # 706) on :
Really want advice?
This worked for me: Ask about and find out what region they hail from. Look up some intresting facts about that region, and chat them up about it.
"So, I understand your from Woot on the 133t. Is it true about the factory that produces fiberglass condoms?"
Or somthing like that.
I'd advise you to just be your self, but after knowing you here, and your stated goal of "nailing one" I advise against that.

My bit of advice is not to ask Siggy for advice....
Along with not dropping the soap, ever, Sty's right here too...

Sorry Lee I was kind of thinking pre Gaynor... but in any case you weren't interested in an affair (not with me anyway!)

Happens quite often. More when my wife isn't around.
Because then she's always right, even if it violates the laws of thermodynamics.

Senile.

MaGiC is 364 days younger than I. And she presumably has an accent. And she is presumably a girl.
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
Or are you 364 older than her, have an accent, and are presumably not a girl???
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Or you're 364 days closer to death, only think you have no accent (the way people think they look better than they really do) and if you'd check her profile you'd see that she is indeed a woman and an attractive one at that.
And she's going to be the big Three-O in December, so remember to post in with congradualtions, condolences and old lady jokes.

This fact had not totally escaped me. But umm... You do understand that not everything on the internet is necessarily real, right?...
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
You are such a liar. When my Nigerian freinds send my money, I'll show you...
If it makes you feel any better, (and assuming MaGiC is really all she seems to be) as a woman, she'll outlive you by a decade or so anyway.
It's okay though: we never get cramps so it all balances out.
