So a guy demanding change assaulted me outside a movie theater....

So I went out to see Iron Man 3. Pretty good. After leaving the theater though I was stopped by a man wanting change. Demanding change actually. He actually put his hand to my chest and pushed me back when I said I didn't have change for him and tried to walk past. So I did the only thing I could. I took a quarter out of my pocket and told him if he called it, he could have it. When I flicked it into the air the guy tried to push me with his left hand while reaching for the coin with his right hand. So I grabbed his right wrist with my left hand, grabbed his left shoulder with my right hand, stuck my right leg behind his, then just flipped him backwards over my hip and down onto the sidewalk. I did this fast enough that he beat the quarter to the sidewalk. A witness came along and I told him I was going home because I was tired. I gave the witness my phone number and address in case anyone called the RCMP, although the other couple witnesses were laughing. I left the guy there with the quarter lying beside him. Granted now I can't sleep....

If you can't seem to visualize what happened, in essence I did this:

Only difference is I threw a little more hip into and and used my upper body to pretty much slam him down onto the sidewalk and ended with my knee to his chin. Who says training doesn't come in handy?

Good on ya! As soon as he violated your space and put his hand on you,.......IT'S GAME ON TIME! You didnt know if he had a weapon or if he was possibly on psychotic drugs. Sad times we live in. I applaud you!  :2thumbs:

You have the right to stand your ground. Sounds like he will think things over next time. I had to react to an over aggressive jerk at the end of the last Batman movie myself.  :2thumbs:

Jerks like that never learn.  But he may switch to stealing change from women and small children for awhile....

I've given lots of change to "needy" people. But it's only if I get a good "vibe" from them. This guy just irked me from the moment I first spotted him. The first shove was free and I was willing to give him that quarter no matter what he called just to calm things down. The second time he went to shove me I just reacted.

Glad he picked on you,  he was put in his place...hopefully stop him from being pushy in the future!

You were nice...walked away when he was down, and let him keep the quarter.. :icon_smile_big:



Fun fact....I've never seen a beggar (bum) asking for spare change...just sayin'

Isn't that what the term "beggar" (bum) means? To beg for money :p

Around this town, we have way too many. You'd be lucky to get through a day without being asked for change at least once. If you're walking of course, if you're driving they just ask to kiss the hood of your car (true story, a bum asked to kiss the hood of my Dart cause he liked it so much).

Most of the beggars in my area are just the charity workers.  Otherwise, most of the actual poor people  just scrounge the parking lots and the car washes looking for change.

Did you stay until the VERY end of the credits and see the little part at the end of the movie?

As for beggars, in Chicago it is a profession, but this one sounds too pushy, he's lucky you showed restraint.

Only me and one other guy did and even then I think I was the only one to know who the Doctor actually was :D
