View Full Version : Sitting in Urgent care
Guy with a knife and bar picked a fight with me and ended bad for him. I cant carry at work so it was hands on. Guy was angry so got in my face and I pushed him off me, thats when I noticed the knife so I grabbed him before he could swing. The next few minutes were knda blurry. I just kept his hands away from the blade and pipe. Blood is everywhere and I cant tell where its coming from. Im just a lil scraped up but he is on his way to the hospital then to jail. He has a felony warrant and is a unregistered sex offender. Im glad he choose me and not some innocent lady or older person on the street.

Glad your ok. Also glad you got the asshole off the streets for a time.
Glad you're ok. Sounds like you F'ed that guy up. Good job!
Im trying to change their mind. The police were more than happy to take him. Concrete and face dont mix to well. Ofcourse there was a drunk guy out there yelling I used to much force. The cop told him when a weapon is involved my force was just enough.

Geez Dave.. I am glad you are good to go. Working in downtown really suck, especially in your field. Stay safe man.
Way to go man, sounds like it ended alright and I hope the blood was entirely his. If not, as others have said, heal up quickly!
I have a question for you though, and feel free to decline to answer if you prefer. Based on what you've just had to deal with, would you have handled it differently if you had your gun with you? Do you think the end result was the same as it would have been, had you had it (bad guy goes to jail)?

Glad you're ok man. As much as I'd be interested as well, I would recommend not answering this or going into too much detail about the event on a public forum until this is all settled and over.

Glad your OK Dave, and in a sense I am glad you were not carrying! I only say this because you came out ok, otherwise I would have been wishing you were! You saved yourself some drama by not having to go through a shoot. Try to look to the good side of things brother!
Now in hind site; do you wish you had been carrying?
Glad I wasnt carrying. To many people on the street. Could have gone bad. Im just glad I was able to react fast enough to keep myself safe.

Good man! This is one of the reasons, I train in other areas; jiu-jitsu, boxing, different scenario's. Sometime you can't always go for the gun, and it should be the last resort anyway......

Agreed. If there's any kind of ongoing investigation, then please do not answer. I'm just hoping for real firsthand experience that might help enlighten folks about how having a firearm may have resolved this differently, be it that the perp just sat down and shut up until the cops arrived, etc. Obviously, if it was not necessary to use, you still would not have used it, but I can't help but wonder if you would have been able to avoid any of the injuries inflicted.

Well done! Sounds like many were lucky you were there.

I didn't read all the newest posts before my last reply, so I'm sorry for the redundancy. Thank you for this insight. I have often considered not using mine when brainstorming similar scenarios as to yours and continue to train with pain compliance and joint manipulation, ie. mostly non-striking contact. I just hope I am able to control the situation quickly and peaceably.
Wow, this sounds nearly as bad as the flat tire I had this morning. I almost got my pants dirty!
Heal up!

Just another day at the office eh Dave? Thanks for protecting those that can't protect themselves.

Nice work not getting cut to ribbons. Knife fights scare the crap out of me.

08-28-2013, 12:33
Hate to be the one to say it ........ But I've been there ( years of bouncing in clubs)
if he bled everywhere and your scraped up ....
And since I'm going to assume he was homeless and a potential carrier...
Are/ have you considered the after exposure treatment for AIDS/HIV ?
BUt good job controlling and winning the situation ... bringing my hands to a knife fight scares the shit out of me .
If the job continues to disallow CCW carry STRONGLY consider carrying a good strong Mace/Pepper Spray ( I HIGHLY suggest Fox 5.3.. stuff drops just about everyone and has saved my butt more then once in some nasty situations... also grab the decon wipes from them too .. will help you recover from it if you get over spray or what not)
Glad to hear you made it as well as you have. God bless and heal up quick!
Tip my hat to you, sir. Glad you're ok.
Good job! Glad you are safe, but like clublights said get tested. Its prob routine procedure, if not ask for it.
I saw that same knife in hand pic on swanson's page.
Godspeed , good man.
That definitely deserves a handshake and beer, at the very least.

Wow- that's really scary. I'm glad you're okay, and I hope the aftermath from this (paperwork, reports, medical checkup etc) go smoothly and painlessly.

Glad your OK.
Are/ have you considered the after exposure treatment for AIDS/HIV ? Hep C as well and it may not show up for awhile. Make sure and get a few follow ups over the next 6 months. [Flower]

Technically he's my man.... [fag][handbags]
Whew, glad you were able to handle it. Knife fights are never clean. Props for keeping a clear head, etc. ...Too bad he didn't end up accidentally stabbing himself somewhere bad... Maybe next time. At least he's off the streets for a while now. Heal up and take care of yourself!!

You can have him,hesa hoe.
Hey David, were you scared?
Yes I feared my my safety and the safety of the obama supporters at my job.
Lots of crazies downtown, never a dull moment for LEO and medical first responders.
Stay safe!! I'm sure more people appreciate your work than this clown did. (nice work taking out the trash, by the way)

Dude, you and I communicated a awhile ago about our jobs..... I expect that shit everyday and I am about ready to say fuck that and fuck the system in place in Denverfornia.. Mr. Reagan did nothing for anybody by closing down most mental facilities... I should start another threat here... The programs in Denver( I cannot speak for other places)give convicts a better chance to get housing than returning veterans and older veterans from past "police actions"... Convicts need to stay in the joint.....

Glad you're alright glock21 and good work!
The cop told him when a weapon is involved my force was just enough.
Good for him for setting the bystander straight on the facts. More of this would go a long way in the general populace not freaking out about the use of force when it's one of their own. For years they try to brainwash people into thinking that the use of force against threats is unjust and then wonder why these same people scream 'Police brutality!' when they use force to subdue a threat... go figure.

This is pretty typical when trapping someone's arm/leg between your body and arm.
This round of blood test came back clean. Ill go back every month for the next 3 months.
