No, I got my information from having to personally smack down a hopped
up mugger with my bare hands. I don't know what drug he was on, I just
know that I WAS doing him significant damage with each punch (when their
head snaps back on impact and their nose and lips are spurting blood,
thats generally a good indication) since he was half my size, but he
kept getting up and coming back for more. I walked away from him half a
dozen times, he kept following me up the street until *HE* flagged down
a cop for me by running out in the street and doing the funky chicken on
the yellow lines.
By that time, I was pretty tired and wasn't sure I could keep swinging
for much longer. The cops heard my story, and that of several
bystanders, apologized for my evening being ruined, and promised the
mugger would be spending the night in the drunk tank. Whether he was on
acid, heroin, or whatever I don't know and don't care. That wasn't the
point, it was immaterial to the point I was making, but it was typical
of you to pick nits like that.
