Thread: I saw a man get his throat slit this past weekend

  1. #1

    I saw a man get his throat slit this past weekend

    I was at work, and like any typical saturday, I stood in the aisle looking all intimidating and awesome, like I normally do. Around 2am I was handling an issue at the far side of the floor, near the bar, then cleared the aisle out, as there were at least 100 people in it... so many that I couldn't see what was going on on the other side of them. Once I got the aisle clear, a woman standing next to me says "they need you by the middle bar (we have three of them on that floor) quick"

    I run and push through the crowd in time to see a fight coming to an end and a guy laying out on the floor with a 3.5 or so inch gash in his throat. He was losing blood pretty rapidly, but I could see that the flesh underneath his skin wasn't cut. We kept the crowd away from him and made space for the cops and paramedics to get to him. The guy is gonna live, and we caught the idiot that cut him.

    Unfortunately, that is the reality of the blade on the street.

    It's not the "I broke his arm before he could touch me" BS that so many people's fantasies perpetuate.

    The fact is, a person who gets attacked with a knife will never even know there was a blade involved until they have been stabbed.

    true. I know several people who have told me they didn't even realize they were being cut until it was too late.

    I have heard that too, it's really tricky to tell someone has a knife until it is pulled.We do knife defence in class but I'm not sure it would actually be much use if trying to de-knife an attacker.

    Doesn't help much if the attacker knows what he's doing, whether it's formal training or street training.

    Another thing my brother-in-law told me about getting knifed (he lost a lung) is the sharper the knife the less you feel it. He was stabbed a bunch of times before he realized what happened.

    Anyhow, that's still no reason to stop training the defenses. You might get lucky and get attacked by a clueless knifefighter.

    The whole idea is to increase your odds and giving up ahead of time just doesn't cut it.

    Something I used to do when I wound up in scuffles- after things had settled down and I got to somewhere safe, I'd take my shirt off and check in a mirror for wounds, or have a buddy look me over, then go hit the bathroom and drop trou and check my legs. Never found anything, but a useful bit of paranoia. One of my bros got in a situation in Amsterdam a few years ago with some folks, and did well for himself. He was walking home and after about a mile felt that his leg was cold, then he noticed it was wet. He got a nasty cut (2 weeks in the hospital) while he was kneeing a guy in the head (he thinks- makes the most sense going over events). Never even saw the knife.

    Even though KF seems to butt heads a lot around here I think he knows a lot about what he is saying and brings up many good points.

    That said, Yao, I think you just wrote your new sig!
