Dangerous jobs...

[Jonathanmartin7]

I deliver pizza's for a living and it is not a bad job. Get paid a low rate of pay but make about 60 dollars a day in tips. It's also the 2nd most dangerous job in the country. Ranked behind Taxi driver and in front of Policeman. I live in a small town in North Carolina and usually don't really worry about getting robbed. Last night however it happend. Went to an address and a man jumped up on the porch with a rifle and told me get down. Which I did in a hurry, unfortunately I was on concrete when I did it and busted my knees. He then put the rifle to my head and told me to go behing the house, all the while hitting me in the head with the barrel of the rifle. 3 men/boys robbed me and kicked me around for about 5 minutes. They got a whopping 19 dollars, a cell phone, my glasses and the pizza's. I came out with sore knee's and my life. I haven't been as scared in my life, I was so scared I couldn't move. But I'm alive and well, didn't have anywhere to talk about it so I decided to post it here.
If it's an inapropriate post Ziggy just delete it. I feel better just by typing about it a little.

wow sorry about your hardships, the world is a dangerous place. some people out there don't have any morales and do stuff like that. i'm sorry to hear this about one of our own bobcat fans but i'm glad you are okay.

Thanks, I was so scared.........can't even describe it

We're glad you're all right. That was a horrible situation to be in and I wouldn't wish that on anybody You did the right thing in cooperating with them even if meant taking a beating, being held at gunpoint is a life changing experience.
There are a lot of people out there think that they would be heroes and fight off criminals, talk back or refuse to do what they're ordered to do if they were in that situation, but when you are in that situation and someone has a gun in your face then you just need to do what you can to survive.

Any chance of identifying and prosecuting these guys?

[Jonathanmartin7]

They were stupid enough to use a cell phone, and give the number to us. It can be traced. Doesn't mean they will be stupid enough to ever use it again but........I can always hope. They were dumb enough to answer it when I called them back after they had held me up. Thanks for the good wishes, I'm sorry to bother you all about it. I don't have many friends and I consider you guys to be some of the best.

Thanks for not deleting the post. I'm sure it's not apropriate.

I had a detcetive come by work today who said that he Knew who it was but needed more before he could go lock him up. He showed me pictures and asked me to identify the 3 guys that robbed me. LOL, it was at 11 O'clock at night, they had an SKS stuck at the back of my head, and the first thing they took from me was my glasses. Not to mention that every time I moved the screamed "I'll kill you white, where's the rest of the money! I told him I might be able to identify the voice but I couldn't see a face. So I might get to take a voice test and see if I can Identify their voices. At least it's better than nothing. Thanks for all the reply's.

I didn't really get pounded. the most damage I have is to my knees, and I did that to myself when they said "hit the ground now!" I fucking did! lol unfortunately I was on concrete when I did that so.....
I used to say i'd fight back or run or do something else, never thought I'd be that terrified...but I couldn't do anything else. Important thing is that I'm alive and well and I'm not quitting my job because of 3 (*^&*^% idiots.

I'm 99% sure that 2 of the 3 guys that robbed me came into the store tonight. Wearing the same jackets and trying to get us to make change for a hundred. Which we don't have except in the safe. So they wanted us to open the safe, which ofcoarse we didn't. Then the guy pulled out a wad of 100's and a few 20's and just paid the exact change. we have them on video and if they match the pictures that the detective showed me then they will be caught soon.

Congratulations, I hope you get those guys locked up.
