Almost assaulted tonight in Flatbush, Brooklyn NYC

[Memphis]

I got to be honest. When you said a man got on his hands and knees in front of you I expected the story to go in another direction entirely. Glad you're OK.

Ahhhh now it makes sense. They were setting you up for a 'Table Top' https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...?term=Tabletop

They were going to beat the shit out of you, then rape you. Or kill you then rape you.

Well that is some disturbing stuff right there. I can see how you thought it would go in another Direction. I had just come out of a 45-minute demo in front of a class of 32 West Africans and Haitians, at CAMBA Community Development Center at the corner of Church Avenue and Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.

I am hoping that your table top idea is not what it was. I think the guy who deliberately smashed the Bottle Into The Ground was trying to imply that by him and I knocking into each other that I had broken his expensive bottle of liquor that I should reimburse him for it. Indeed there was a lot of liquid pouring out of the bag and shards of glass everywhere.

You know you could be right because the guy was on his hands and knees also acting like he was at a funeral looking down into his black plastic bag which supposedly contained a VSOP bottle of liquor. I think this is a kind of scam where he is carrying around a broken bottle of liquor for weeks, and he must have a second bottle in the bag filled with water and when she smashes into the ground he shows the other bottle of VSOP as if it has just broken and then demands reimbursement for it

Of every crime that happened recently or through the year from petit larceny to murder at each block of the street, you can zoom to the exact block that you wanna visit. Murder is up, rape and assault are WAY up from 2012, which was itself the most violent year since 1995. From my perspective it ain't good. Trains arent safe at night, I took the Q train after this incident and it was really scary and I've taken just about every Subway in New York City in all five boroughs.... If you're only visiting not moving there, I'll say better look for bedstuy, crown heights ....

"I'm a young white female and I recently moved to Flatbush. I have not lived in New York before, but my boyfriend assured me the neighborhood was safe. I was told some
like don't walk certain areas, don't play with your phone walking around, don't show off your electronics, don't walk around late at night. But I still don't know if it is a good idea for me to live in this neighborhood and some really scary people, thugs, real ones not wannabe's. But today I was walking and some guy walking past just came right up to me and punched me. I don't know what to do. Is there anything I should avoid or look out for? Is this a alright neighborhood? but I don't see any white girls my age around here. Last week a Haitian guy pulled my hair and pushed me into a doorway, I ran out by kicking his shins."

Not making light of your scare, Brock. But I gotta admit I laughed out loud with this comment.

Glad you're ok and I guess you'll file that under Things Never To Do Again.

Thanks Tito. yeah that is really kind of funny actually picture a guy getting down on his hands and knees and tackling someone and then his partner pulls the guy's pants down and sodomizes him right on the sidewalk in public. And then somebody gets it on film and puts it on YouTube bwaaaaHAHAHA 😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂

These two guys were high on something and so I think that hands and knees thing was just because maybe he couldn't get a good balance on his two feet. But it could be true that it was called a tabletop maneuver as I think Memphis or Fenster have indicated.

I think they're going to offer me that job because I did a really good demo that night in the classroom of 32 Haitians and West Africans in a completely black organization called CAMBA Community Development Corporation. You can Google it and check it out it's an interesting organization and I would really love to work there and they pay $26 per hour

Tito the only thing I am worried about is just like you say. Should I chalk this up to things never to do again? I wouldn't want to lose the job but who wants to risk their health and safety for money?

Get a taxi to and from a safer train station?

Well that sounds really good the only thing is that the Q train stops right at Church Avenue and the stop before that is at least a mile from the school and the stop after that is about another mile away so I have to get out at the same station and there are really no taxis in that area but I guess I can try Uber. The walk is only about 10 or 11 minutes to the school but believe me those 10 or 11 minutes are very hostile and tense

Not worth the money bro, and you should consider the possibility that they could give it another shot, especially having seen the dress shirt and tie getup.

Damn straight. I had been thinking to pull that tie off on my way out of the building instinctively. The funny thing was I walked to the school with my tie in my pocket and my shirt hanging out and unbuttoned deliberately.
