Some people on this board already know this and got to see some gruesome pics of it, I got jumped on Sunday night by a couple of thugs who wanted my wallet.  I was first pepper sprayed in the face then whacked over the head with a knife.  They demanded my wallet and when I  said no they one of them slashed me across the face with a knife and hit me over the head again..  They then grabbed my wallet and i grabbed it back, they then pepper sprayed me again.  Then one put the knife to my throat, so I elbow checked him and ran across the street.  Luckily there was a pizza boy who saw me and called 911.  The two thugs chased me across the street but when they saw other people they took off.  I ended up with 12 stitches on my face and 4 staples in my head.  I am ok now, i got swelling on my right eye  but I should recover soon.  It was a pretty scary incident, the pepper spray hurt the most, at the hospital They scrubbed me down for like 30 min, the medics in the ambulance were hacking over the pepper spray.  I'm doing good though now, I  have gotten a lot better already, just got some headaches and eye swelling.

That's got to be the worst excuse for not being on Skype that I've ever heard.  You should be ashamed of yourself.


And I'm glad you're doing well.

I read an article last week that said women LOVE men with scars!  ;D


Yeah, too bad I look more like Macauly Culkin than Tony Montana

Wow crazy stuff. I'm guessing it would have been hard to shove them a bit and sprint away? That's never happened to me. The pepper spray I mean. I've been randomly punched a few times. It's more annoying than anything when you are drunk 'cause there isn't really much pain.

You're lucky it was a knife and not a gun!! :( Did they (the coppers) ever catch the perps?

I saw the pics on FB. Pretty rough, dude. Glad you're okay. I can't believe you were able to pull off all that shit with pepper spray in your face. I think most would be down for the count.

Damn Jordan. You're the only person other than John Mclane that'd say no to a knife wielding thug. You and him should team up for the next "Die Hard" flick! Hope you're okay, and I hope those pricks get what they deserve.

This is why you should never walk the streets at night without a wife or girlfriend with you. They tend to be slower and can help ensure you get away first.

Hope you feel better soon, not a nice thing to happen to anyone.

Very sorry to hear about this, Jordan.  It's insane that people have to resort to such ways these days.

Jack Bauer wouldn't...haha, He would have taken the knife and decapitated them.  Letting them take my wallet would make them think it was ok to do so, and it's not, and these weren't like mercenaries, just a couple of punks, anyways I'm sure they will get caught for doing something sooner or later, just hope they don't hurt anyone else.

Glad you're ok.  Hope it doesn't ruin your holidays!

Wow, that totally sucks, Jordan.  I may bust your chops from time to time, but this -- sounds like you handled it pretty well.

I have been downwind from pepper spray before -- just got a little -- and even that stung like a bastard.

At any rate, you are definately due for something good to happen this holiday season.  Bet you get it, too.

Thanks Bert, and everyone else.  The pepper spray was horrible, even the medics in the ambulance were hacking over it.  I  think the worst part is im scared to go outside at night now, i will only go out during the day, keeps me kinda home bound, but the snow at the moment is doing that as well.  Thanks everyone for the nice messages

He's right. A good old fashioned game of "that's not a knife, this is a knife" would've set those motherfuckers straight, but hindsight is 20/20.

Anyways, glad to hear you're doing better, man.
Enjoy your x-mas.

Muggers are using pepper spray now?  Wow.  Sounds like you held your own for a good while there, J-Rock.  Most people probably would have peed their pants.  Sorry you had to go through that but I hope you had a good holiday!

Jordan,

I hope you get well soon, and I hope karma will make those guys pay for what they've done to you.

I always thought Canada was a place where crime was at a minimum. Sorry the minimum found its way to you.

Take care,
Cindy

There's a memory :(  Hope it heals pretty...or as pretty as such things can heal.

Out of curiosity, I take it from this that pepper spray doesn't incapasitate a person.  Just how bad is the stuff?  Like if a person were to use it on an attacker would it give them any leverage at all?  Or just annoy and piss them off?

It is horrible horrible stuff, it burns so bad and it doesn't stop so I would recommend not being any where near the stuff.

Sorry to hear about this...Pretty cowardly of the robbers to pepper spray ya first...Not man enough to take ya on without cheating... They say you gotta write what you know, and you now (unfortunately) have some real first hand experience that might translate into your Oscar one day....Hope yer feeling better, watching some hockey on TV and chilling out while healing up...
