Today I was the victim of an armed robbery. I was out looking to buy my mother a birthday present when I’ve been ambushed by a group of men from three different vehicles.
I was dragged inside of one of the cars where they threatened me with machetes and a stunt gun. They demanded me to withdraw £300 from the atm (the maximum amount you can take out in a single day).
I just gave them the money as I’m not risking my life over some money. I’ve been close to being stabbed over jewelry, money etc. I typically defend myself if there’s just one/two people. But this time I took the smarter approach.
My appearance got me in a lot of altercations as I’m frequently stopped by the police or seen as being intimidating by people. I’m 6 feet, muscular build and overall massive.
This incident that happened today made me not trust people, it made me hate people and got me feeling less of a man from letting them take money off me. They stole my bank card and I had to freeze the account which blocked my money. I couldn’t buy my mom a gift for her birthday and I just hate people for not minding their own business and for not leaving me alone. I’m tired of seeing people cross the road whenever they see me, I’m tired of being stopped and searched by the police, I’m tired of being ambushed and robbed or challenged to fight. I’m tired of crackheads asking me if I’m a dealer, I’m tired of groups g checking me, I just want mfs to leave me alone and stop fcukin around with me.
This incident made my depression worse and i feel like I can’t trust people, I feel like anyone that looks or approaches me could be a threat and I’m always cautious of my surroundings
