How does one get accidentally beaten to death? I mean it's clearly not an accident but I really am curious about the defense there.

Sorry if this is too personal. I'm just really freaked out right now, and it's unnerving to me at least. A couple of months ago I was on a bus. A drunk dude got angry because I didn't respond to him "flirting" with me (yelling obscene things at me and physically intimidating me), so he pushed me as I was getting off the bus right in front of my home. It hosed up my already hosed knee, so I had to be on crutches for a while. But the mental aspect of it was way worse. I've had some "bad experiences" and I already have very bad social anxiety, bordering on agoraphobia, so leaving my home was extra difficult for some time. I literally tried to eat and drink as little as possible so that I could ration toilet paper. But I slowly got better. Lol At least I was able to drink water and go out to buy toilet paper. Yesterday, I was out drinking with some friends. I was a bit drunk on the way home and it was very dark outside. So of course I accidentally got off a stop too early. Still close to home though. As I walk home for what was supposed to be a 2 minute walk, I hear someone running up behind me. I feel two hands on my upper back/shoulders. I didn't even have time to react. I got pushed into the road, head first, straight into the asphalt. I could "feel" my teeth and gums. I'm pretty sure that I passed out for a bit. I hate the thought of me laying there in the dark in a spot with no street lights. I'm constantly imagining my head getting squished by a tire. Crushing and exploding like a gross watermelon. I hate the thought that strangers want to hurt me for no reason. I just want to be left alone. Even if I wanted to go outside, I can't right now because my knee is super hosed up again. My bed is on a loft so I was unable to climb the ladder to my bed. I slept on a yoga mat and covered myself with some coats. Mentally, right now, I have lost what little need I felt to ever go outside again. Why did that person feel the need to do that? I just wanted to get home man...

It took real courage to share that; thank you for letting us know what happened. It’s going to be easy to slide in to a mindset of “humanity is monstrous and I’d rather stay in my nice safe nest” and once you’ve had time to recover I hope you find a way to not slide down in that direction. Maybe check out from this thread for a bit and stick to the Cute & Uplifting Thread. If you need help finding or affording telehealth counseling, add me to the list of people who value your existence enough to assist as needed. None of what happened was in your power to prevent. Just let yourself heal by focusing on the good parts of life.

You're all so loving nice. Like it's weird how this thread is one of the nicest and most empathetic threads I've been part of on SA,. I feel a lot better now. I'm not as bad off as I thought. Sprained ancle, sprained wrist and a weird looking but harmless dot in my eye. Luckily I don't think that I have a concussion but I will be watching out for signs of later symptoms. As for surveillance, sadly it's a very industrial area with buildings far from any "sidewalks" (shared roads for bikes, pedestrians and scooters). They don't have a lot of streetlights and they are placed very far from any foot traffic. It's not permitted to film public areas unless it's related to your business so I doubt that there is any film. But! There is a lot of building activity in the area, so I'm hoping that a building site nearby will have some footage of the person running by after the fact. I've sent an email to the company asking for info. Not expecting much. I have bad experiences with police so I really do not wish to go to them at all. And I have thought about self-defence as a confidence booster, but the problem is that I already have a hard time with people and going outside, and I can't really afford private lessons.  The thing that worries and disturbs me a lot is that a couple of months ago, a drunk dude sexually harassed me on a bus and he pushed me and sprained my ankle as I was getting out. I'm very scared that this is the same man who recognized me. I'm easy to recognize so it's a possibility. I just really hope that I'm wrong. I did not see the person. Just hear them approach, feel them push me and hear them run away.

Given the method, I think it's pretty likely to be a totally random attack. Not sure if that's better or not. EDIT: The eye dot is probably a burst blood vessel if it's red? In which case I'm pretty sure it's harmless.

Autistic guy in Florida has enough of his overbearing mother, flees the state to go live with friends in Chicago. Mother proceeds to declare him a missing person and gets a (temporary) guardianship on him. Also the mother thinks that he was kidnapped by a gang of organ trafficking trans people. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article266012206.html The ease with which abusive parents can get guardianships is absolutely terrifying.

As above - a red splotch or dot in your eye is nothing to worry about if there's no disturbance of vision. It's probably a subconjunctival haeomorrhage, or like - a bruise, kind of, under your cornea. But yeah watch out for any other symptoms. I'm glad you're starting to feel a bit better. Try to take your time with it and give yourself lots of room. It almost certainly wasn't the same person unless you live in a very small town.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/sheriff-killing-kidnapped-california-family-pure-evil-91157823 A family (mother, father, infant, and infant's uncle) was abducted from their place of business earlier this week in Merced, CA. While there was initially hope that they were being held somewhere, they were later all found dead in an orchard, apparently killed within an hour of their kidnapping. Based on security footage, the accused perpetrator took efforts to cover his tracks during the abduction, but he was ultimately turned in by family members to whom he confessed to the killing. The motive isn't entirely clear right now, but police have said that he was a former employee of the family's business who had a bad relationship with them. He attempted suicide before being arrested but survived and is now in custody. It sounds like the police are currently looking for an accomplice. https://abcnews.go.com/US/mysterious-stockton-serial-killings-timeline/story?id=90916836 Also in California this week, Stockton police announced that they believe a serial killer is operating in the area. They are targeting people of "similar complexions" who are alone in dark public places in the early A.M. I haven't seen it explicitly stated, but it seems like most of the victims have been unhoused at the time of their murders. The police don't seem to have any real leads aside from not-very-useful security footage of the back of a person walking away from one of the scenes.

There really isn't much worse for an anxious person than to have their fear "validated". As others have said, it sounds random (cities are hosed up places sometimes) and I'm sorry that it happened. If you're feeling understandably iffy about being in public, something that has helped me is to think about all the reasons that it's necessary. Not errands or work or other things you can't control or may not want to do, but for your mental health and overall happiness. All of the good things like friends, community, novel experiences, and fun are out there and they're worth tolerating the discomfort of feeling anxious. I don't know that you needed to hear that and I'm sure you have resources who can tell you the same, but I wanted to leave it here in case it's helpful.

I’m genuinely curious to know what y’all think about this article/phenomenon: False calls about active school shooters are rising. Behind them is a strange pattern ”Whoever is doing this has managed to make phone calls relating to specific schools, reach the correct dispatchers, and give specific information about local school districts and threats within them without being caught," Conley said. "You couldn't do that without some considerable effort and investigation into knowing where you're targeting, how you're targeting it and how you were avoiding detection." TL;DR: Dozens of reports of active shooter situations with casualties are being called in to schools and non-emergency lines across the US. They appear to originate from the same area overseas, contain a lot of localized details for the school, and the caller sounds like the same person in at least 4 cases (possibly more, but that audio wasn't reviewed). There are clusters of greater activity in Minnesota, North Carolina, Maine, Louisiana, and Hawaii. No one is quite sure if this is part of a larger scheme to gather data on response times to better plan a larger attack, or if the intent is to cause so many false alarms that an actual attack isn’t taken as seriously until it’s too late, or if the people directing these callers are funded by a group who wants to make the US feel more dangerous, swinging the populace rightward in response. Or if it even has any greater meaning than just scaring people. Also Sarcopenia I hope you’re existing in a positive direction

Busket Posket posted:I’m genuinely curious to know what y’all think about this article/phenomenon: The article seems to overstate the sophistication of the operation behind the calls somewhat: you could learn everything you’d need to make those calls by looking at a district website. If it was someone trying to learn how emergency responses worked, wouldn’t they would have to actually observe the school and community? I don’t think you can learn anything by just calling in a report and hanging up. They’re not going to keep you on the line and give you updates. Also, wouldn’t a person in a real emergency call 911? That and the guy not knowing about ar-15s suggests it’s just a freak who gets off on scaring people, like that guy who called McDonald’s locations around the country to see if he could get the managers to strip search people. Maybe it’s non-state actors trying to figure out how to do an attack, but there have to be smarter ways to do it. A mass shooting at a school seems like a poor way to do a terrorist attack because you’d have to be a student to get inside and have access to places where people are. I feel like terrorists already have a good idea of how to kill a bunch of people at once. I don’t see what putting yourself onto the US imperial radar like that would get you.

I recall being dismayed how long they had managed to get away with it despite doing the same drat thing over and over. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t at all surprise me if it was just some troll on the internet who is just routing their attempted school swattings through a VOIP provider and a VPN specifically to less-monitored/recorded lines that still guarantee a response.

The year before, it seemed like every other day we had to evacuate for a bomb threat or a fire alarm. There wasn't really any punishment for the classmate or two that got caught. It was a hick school in a hick county. Big Johnson shirts had been popular in middle school and no one bothered to ban them.
