[extropy-chat] one serious assault

[Ned Late]

In 1987 I got into a passenger seat in an auto, with two "ladies" in Sacramento Ca. The one in the rear seat choked off my breath with a bar, I couldn't breathe at all; lucky not to pass out. At first I hesitated to hand over the $40.00 in my boot, then the swell dame in the rear seat pulled the bar even tighter. I took off my boot and forked over the money. Perhaps because I hesitated the lady didn't relent of her suffocating activity, or maybe they thought I had more $.
Anyway they got onto the freeway and I decided to kick the driver, very hard... she yelled, then a minute or two later she hit the guardrail and stopped the car (putting, say, a $40.00 dent in the vehicle). Immediately the choker let go of the bar. I turned around to punch the suffocator in the face, but just before the punch landed she grabbed my spectacles. I hopped out on one boot into the honking, blurry traffic. 
This anecdote is to remind you that all assaults and muggings are unique and unexpected. I was unwise to get into an auto with strangers, but after the attack started, little could be planned for.
