A man attempted to rob me, my two neighbors, and my friend while we were sitting in the living room last night at 8. this dude stabbed my buddy in the face! he told us to stay still and give him our money and that he had a 'piece' with his finger sticking in his shirt pointed at us. i figured he at least had a knife, which he did. i immediately stood up took the one step forward between where i was sitting on the couch to where he was standing in the doorway, told him everything would be okay and that it would be over in a minute, that i had money and i was going to give it to him. he must have been high or thought i was tricking him. counting out bills trying to hand them to him, the guy wasn't looking at me or the money, which freaked me out. the situation had to end and he had to leave right then. my friend was at that point right behind me, the two girls backing off into the kitchen and calling the cops. 'get out of here' my buddy pushes past me and the dude through the door. kick and punches still in the doorway, then the knife. repeatedly stabbing at my friend's chest with a flailing left hand, once hitting the face through the cheek. the dude must have had that drug addled realization that not only did he just fail to get money, but that he just got kicked in the head and stabbed a victim repeatedly. he tears off his white collared shirt undershirt and black 'F' logo hat and leaves.
A gigantic thank you to the police first responders, which were at the house in 2 minutes. Our wonderful neighbors heard the fight outside and called the cops, and everyone was outside once the cops arrived. because we are strong together and we live together. knife wounds are vicious, but my buddy is ridiculous tough, i can never say someone is okay after a face stabbing but he's fine, you know.
I will be writing more about this in other forums. be alert, be aware. we are a community and we can communicate. Say hello to everyone you see, especially if you don't recognize them! we are all in this together and together we are each others protection.
