I wanted to keep this quiet but since were talking about troubled apartment complexes I might as well mention it. last thursday night I was out walking in my apartment complex and I got kidnapped by a strung out heroin addict

he pulled me into his apartment and accused me of knocking on his windows and it scared his strung out girlfriend. he took away my phone and threw it against the wall shattering it and then punched me in the face several times because he said I was lying

he even went so far as threatening to kill me if I didn't 'tell the truth' a friend of his who is in the apartment and completely gone on heroine convinced him to let me leave

I call the police and he was arrested. you know when I lived off the twain and swenson I never had a problem and now I move to centennial thinking it safe and I get beat up by somebody

Glad to know that you are okay after that ordeal.

When I said tower, I meant that there are more stories than your regular 2 or 3 story apartments. And no, not royal crest.

I am really sorry to hear that happened to you. That is as bad when I got robbed, car jacked and the sh@t beat out of me (all at once) back in 1993.

One thing I should add Davie is you really should get into weight lifting. Even if you do not know how to fight, just being built is usually enough for people to leave you alone. I am fat now, but I still do work out when I am at work. I have enough size that people do not mess with me.

I really did not expect all this rain today. It is absolutely pouring where I live.

So true, I'm one of the most easy going guys around but because of my size people just don't mess with me. I will tell you had this punk tried to pull me into his apartment and punch me in the face, he'd be spending some time at the hospital (in self defense of course).

Wow, sorry to hear about that man. Safety is an illusion. An illusion we are consistently sacrificing our liberties for more and more every day. I will say though that people can very keenly pick up on your attitude, your fears and just about anything else. It has far less to do with being jacked than it does being confident. Ask any smaller female cop and they will tell you the same.

I am going to say is I am no longer going to retaliate against my neighbor. Davie's experience could soon be mine if I did. That is the last thing I need right now. Financially I am at where I am now because of multiple bad choices I made in my life. There is no way in hell I could afford to have a house now, but I really miss it. Apartment living sucks plain and simple. Since I truly live in worst of the worst apartments, I thought at least higher end ones like Davie's would be better, but apparently it is not. It seems the only way out is to have a house as I never had the b.s. I have to deal with now. I remember how I used to b@tch and complain about the HOA harassing me when I had a home. That is nowhere near as bad as what I have to deal with now.
