I sympathise with you regarding these thugs in uniform and you did the right thing by writing out a full report – both for your own sense of clarity and equilibrium. And also to put the public eye on these gorillas. Rats don’t like daylight.

You’ll get the boasting rights to a good war story in future years as compensation at least.

And then, maybe, this will also serve as a useful warning for others – and maybe for a bit of self-reflection – about street-smarts?

A brothel is not somewhere one goes to sip drinks and absorb atmosphere – these are working girls not free scenery. And you are in an environment with a rough crowd, not intellectuals.

It was a bad, bad, _bad_ idea to take that girl’s photo – is it surprising the guy “looking out” for her and the other girls took that as a threat? You went there, looked at the scenery, but didn’t go there for what people are actually supposed to go there for, then you freaked out a girl by snapping her photo as you were leaving? Don’t you think they might have thought you some kind of potential psycho-stalker or rapist? This is not Starbucks – even if it was, you would still freak out a girl by doing that! What the hell were you thinking, man?

And then you tried to extort money from the guy that punched you because you freaked them out? Again: what the hell were you thinking?

I’m not defending thuggishness by anybody man, but you don’t wander down a dark alley to taunt an Alsation and then wonder why it bites you!

Mike, I read your account today after seeing it linked at KC’s blog.

Anonymous was right to say that you are lucky to be in a condition to be terrified; those dead or in a coma have no such feelings.

I hope I won’t get labelled a troll too, but it is truth that the mob is still alive and well in eastern europe, and it is very easy to disappear people who have pissed off somebody with connections in that regard.

I’m not gonna do any moral lecturing. I wish you a full recovery, but do watch your tongue and your ass in the future.

@CommonSense You should try making an argument
before complaining that someone won’t refute your arguments.

@Drunkenatheist: Thank you. I could hope for a better sandwiching, but still… mmmm, sandwich! (thanks)

@CS: Wow. Look at the internet tough guy!

@Mike: Though I don’t run the most popular blog on the internets, I have sandwiched your account between a photo of my (now departed) beagle in a pirate costume and my griping about Obama’s hate crime legislation. I sometimes get idiotic trolling, so maybe one of my moronic ex-friends will see it and pass it on or remember your account. (Then again, knowing them, they’ll probably pass it along with a comment of “if only we had this system in America!”)

Best of luck to you with dealing with this shit.

Kevin you are a pretentious shit and you know nothing about how the real world works. You cannot substitute your “stateless” reality for the reality that states are in charge. You can “declare” yourself a stateless person all you want, if you fuck with someone, you get stomped.
I an Anarchist society, if Mike refused to leave MY bar, I wouldn’t just kick him out, I would beat him to near death and made sure he never so much as LOOKED at my bar again. If you don’t care about property rights, then give me your credit card number.
