It's taken me a while, I've been trying to think of how, exactly, to tell the story of what happened to me. I think it's better to post the overview then to continue dallying; I already give this blog little enough love. (Blame the summertime for my inactivity... really. XD)
Two weeks ago, on a Sunday night, four young men ordered a pizza to a house in a very nice neighborhood that looks occupied, but isn't. I'm a delivery driver, and I was on the closing shift. I delivered it.
They took the food, and made a show of getting the money together. One of them offered the money; I gave them the benefit of the doubt and took it, but he didn't let go of the cash in his hand. Another one grabbed me from behind, and they tried going through my pockets.
Someone said from behind me "Just let it go."
In that situation, you are told to just give them what they want, surrender because they are less likely to hurt you, but I couldn't even think anything past rage that someone would take advantage of the fact that I will not judge them on look alone (it was four young black men) and an inner voice screaming like the Valkyries that I will not be made a victim just because my gender is "weak."
I managed to get one hand into the pocket with my pepperspray (I carry a canister of military strength pepperspray with me everywhere... only quasi-legal), broke the hold of the guy behind me, and shot him full in the face.
The other guy and I were still holding the money in my other hand, and I then turned my free (mace wielding) hand on him and shot HIM in the face, advancing as he tried to run away. I NEVER let go of the money.
All four of them ran for it. I chased them halfway down the block, seeing red and debating getting my car and running them over, I was THAT mad. Then the reality of it all kicked in, and I got back in my car, called my manager, and we reported it.
All four have been caught, ID'd, and two of them are going to serve time right away. One is a minor and stuck in juvie until he's 18, then he'll be sent to prison, the fourth is on house arrest with an ankle monitor; his father is a VERY disappointed police chief.
Turns out these four were THE thugs in the neighborhood, with one hell of a badass reputation... and they got punked out by a 5'7" 125lb white girl with mace.

Well I mean the li'l white girl IS you, and having the knowledge of how much ass-kicking that already comes with I'm not all that surprised.
Well done, you are awesome. (and look great as Constantine's Gabriel)
But maybe next time it would be easier to let the money go ^_^ I was worried just reading it and I study martial arts lol.
