so i got carjacked/robbed and almost murdered in baltimore saturday night.

[Manletbolic]

First of all, u work as a bartender. Most bartenders are beta.

Betas are usually never aware of any dangerous situation. Why would you even drive and park in Bmore at 2am?

These "urban youths" Sniffed betaness all over you the moment you pulled in, and saw that you were a easy target.

Moral of the story, dont drive to shady areas at 2am.

[eXistenceLies]

nail on the head

im in a very strange place mentally right now if i was in a state where i could carry and the same thing happened if i had a gun would i be alive or dead etc etc etc situations keep going thru my head.... little to no sleep and going back to work today was fukked i do real estate and bartend in delaware walking back into my life was so strange

It is part of the process man. I couldn't sleep for a good 30 hours after I got robbed at gunpoint and woken out of my sleep from being pistol whipped. You'll get over it. I promise.

[ThaJerzeyDevil]

Come on brah, make a detailed post of whats going thru ur head and what u have realized in life and other tips

have not had time to go back i will tonight i promise

[DeusExTerra]

Damn man that was a wild story. Glad you are ok OP, look forward to hearing your new perspective on life when you do post it.

I'm actually supposed to go to Baltimore for work next week, this is scaring me even though I've been to Inner Harbor before.

[cobhc]

I was in Baltimore recently for a convention and it was literally the most disgusting and depressing place I've ever been to. Whoever is in charge of zoning and planning for that city needs to be shot.

I'd do everything in my power to track them down. Use your phone's locator, hire an investigator, pretend to be a customer and befriend local dealers, buy info on the street, anything...

Gotta be a way to track them down.

[TommyRO]

Glad you are Okay OP

Been to fells point tons of times and never had an issue but then again I was going to school out there. Also helps not to stick out like a sore thumb or park in random places. Baltimore is a chit hole in certain areas regardless. Park your car in the wrong place and someone will smash your windows in to go through it and even take 1 dollars you left on the center console.

I haven't gone back to fells point in years though, just not worth it now. Go to DC but even there venture too far off and it's lights out.My buddy last year in DC saw 2 dudes destroy a guy outside a Club, then flashed him a their pieces to not get involved. He just turned around and walked back in to the club rofl

I had a shop teacher when I was in middle school. When I was in HS, he made the papers. It turns out he bought a used car that he later discovered to be stolen. He made a big stink to his brother about getting his money back from the guy who sold it to him. Anyway, I guess he must have confronted the guy and demanded his money back because he went missing. That's why he made the papers. To this day, his body still hasn't been found. The moral of the story is that OP's pride may have taken a hit, but he's alive and unharmed. Leave it to the police to deal with the perps. If it's low priority for them, then take it as a life lesson and move on. A lot of people get killed over much less. Life is cheap to some people and you don't want to discover that the hard way.

Strong unaware of Baltimore. You would almost 100% wind up dead if you followed this course of action.

[TaeBoNinja]

Issue isn't even the area for the most part, but the time of day. At 2 am you should ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings. Simply put, people milling around at that time of night are up to ill intent.

[ayyy]

no, let's say allegedly my dog has hung out with some shady characters and this is the absolute last thing you should ever consider. this is a lot of assuming on my dogs part but he doesn't think you understand what this does to your head nor met anyone who has been robbed at gun point. he's heard some crazy stories about what happens when someone who was robbed finds who robbed them and it normally ends in 2 lives being ruined. There's a level of animosity and pure primal rage that comes out of people when they've had their life threatened and most people can't control it. .it's crucial to keep a level head and not let your primal instincts take over after an incident like that.

If you ever meet someone who has been robbed at gunpoint ask them what they'd do if they saw the guy on the street, the answer is always the same. It's why I think crime in poverty stricken areas is so self perpetuating and the reason why war crimes happen. the majority of people only see or hear about people being robbed at gun point in movies without ever knowing someone who has had that happen to them and think it's just a ****ty thing to happen. When it can and a lot of times will absolutely fck someone's head up and bring out a side of a person they never knew they had. Humans are nasty vindictive creatures, and it's a terrifying reality that no one really addresses and the majority don't understand the extent of.

[Jayl12345]

Crazy, I've lived downtown for 14 years without incident, and I'm out past 2 am at least once a week.

I'm guessing you were more likely in Oldtown, which people like to refer as Fells Point so they can feel cooler(also a dead giveaway is that you found parking at 2AM) It's not terrible, but the crime is much higher.

Situational awareness brah. You didn't look around, at all, at 2 am, in BALTIMORE?

[Jayl12345]

I've attached a handy tourist info card to keep you informed about where to visit our fair city.
(I live in frat boys/ sorostitutes) You claim to be mugged in douchey crossfitters and marathoners, but I think it was probably stripper, projects, or maybe even weird drunks.

[maori-rap]

That does sound terrible OP. I'm glad you came through in one piece. Its lucky you weren't murdered, as anyone who robs someone like that clearly has no moral code or humanity/soul.

Shame that so many parts of America can no longer be classed as "first world" due to the general disorder, high crime and poor management.

[20Mavs11]

Damn. I used to frequent there a lot. Never had issues. I always parked in the parking garage though. It was near that bread factory. Forgot the name.

But I'm always paranoid of my own people. I'll sit in my car and just watch and see if I see anyone looking at me. If I do, I'll literally drive all the way home and nope my way out of that situation. I don't trust anyone in any hood.

[TMaC828]

That's terrifying OP.

I wish these *******s would do this **** to someone with some special forces training who'd just bodybag both of them without breaking a sweat.

Not familiar with Baltimore... but I have gotten lost downtown Chicago before... I ran every red light until I found a sign leading to a highway.

[HomerJThompson]

being in baltimore at 2 am was a dumb.move op, glad you are ok

To be fair, ACTUAL Fell's Point is an upper-middle-class area. It's connected to Harbor East, which is a very expensive upper-class area. The problem is the layout of the city is so bad that these neighborhoods connect directly to lower-class and extreme-lower-class neighborhoods.

I live here, downtown, with street parking, and never have issues.

[LaoHu7]

What race were the criminals?

Moral of the story, dont drive to dark areas at 2am.

what did he mean by this?

He said he was near Patterson Park. At 2am, alone, taking his good old time. Sorry but that's just begging to be robbed/killed.

[SmackGenius]

Son, let's be real son.

Baltimore: 28.1% white, 63% black

you know it's gonna be a chithole son

wtf, keep it real son your map is useless.....i swear you people don't keep things smacking truthful

[AddictiveMuscle]

reading that gave me chills down my spine man. One of my worst fears. i don't know you but i'm glad your ok and alive brah!

[TitusVI]

Man that is horrible. But really be more carefull in where you are at what times.

[TheIronAsylum]

the wire is real cant park that close to the low risers brah

[bongowongo]

Glad you're safe OP ... Man was having sweaty palms just reading your posts.



Stay safe bros

Robber gets smoked.

Bro that was some like CIA ****. Moving around the lady then shooting and immediately putting his back to the pillar wtf

[EoR]

I can't even imagine how I would feel. Some criminals are ruthless and will still shoot you even if you comply. You always have to look for a realistic way to escape or diffuse the situation, but even then all the adrenaline can make someone do silly things. At least you're out of it alive and with no serious injury. Fuking criminals.
