Friends account as to what happened
"Hey guys, thanks for the support. I called the police right after the altercation happened. I have been talking to this guy about trading his Lexus (didnt look bad in pictures) for my mk3 Supra. We agreed to meet up at a location in huntington beach to do the trade if everything worked out.
When he got to the location, he pulled up in a Uhaul with the car on a trailer and from there I could already tell the car was not what he described to me.
Panels were falling off, front bumper looked spray painted, the front bumper wasnt straight and the whole top of the car was sun damaged and peeling, car had no a/c and. worst of all, he hot wired the car in front of me to show that it ran.
I nicely told him that I wasn't intrested in the car cause I was expecting something a lot cleaner and he kept asking what he could do to make the deal go through. He and his friend got in the car after talking for a bit so I headed back to my buddies car and waited for them to leave. After a few minutes, they got back out of the car and ask me to check my car out. I proceeded to let them check it out and after they looked at it I told them sorry for wasting your time and sorry we couldnt work out a deal.
I stuck my hand out to shake his hand and he sucker punched me square in the face. Thats when the fight broke out and luckily my friend was not too far away to run over and help me out. My friend broke up the fight and i told him to go in the shop with me just to stay away from them cause at the time i had already broke my ankle and my face was covered in blood. During the fight my phone fell on the floor and didnt think twice to pick it up before we headed inside. When we went outside we couldnt find the phone anywhere so im guessing they took it before they left."

Everyone always says to carry but what is the game plan when you do? I have a friend who was jumped twice and couldn't figure out how a gun would have helped in either situation.
The first time he was sucker punched than kicked by a group who then went through his pockets and took everything. If he had a gun, they would have taken that too and maybe even used it on him.
The second time he was riding a friends scooter and a car stopped in front of him and a guy jumped out with a shotgun and stole the scooter. Again, can't exactly reach for a gun at this point. Even if he did...not worth getting in a gun fight over a scooter.

Serious question...if you get sucker punched and are defending yourself from punches, kicks, etc. Do you immediately go for the gun exposing yourself? run away so you can get a sec. to pull it out?

and honestly NO a gun would not help in many situations so half the people who talk big about using them cant pull the trigger etc
violence and everything isnt worth it
if youre able to hack prison time then resort to such nonsense but thats why your tax dollars are paid for police to take care of that
i hope this dood gets caught its pretty lame
totally sucks

I know it sounds pretty rough right? He lives in St. Petersburg, FL. Both times he was leaving downtown very late at night. This is when the bad element from the south St. Pete like to wander into town and do fun things like rob people and rape women. They were actually having a mini crime spree there for awhile last year.
