that's unfortunate but if I thought I had a hot girl on my hands and discovered I actually had a guy there I would react negativly to
but I'd be more sad and I'm almost sure I would not try to run you over

Hey Buddy,

I was so happy to read your update and you went to the police! I rarely go back and check these but I did just to see. You made the right choice.

A little advice about the cell phone and videoing them. If I was trying to commit a hate crime and someone pulled out a cell phone. I would finish the crime, get the cell phone and destroy it. Recording it with a cell phone is basically taking it into your own hands and you should not. Not when your life is threatened. If someone is trying to kill you, you get the heck out of there as fast as your legs can carry you, get the information to the police and let them deal with it.

9 years ago, I was walking to my house and 3 teens with guns followed me to my door and mugged me. Gave them my money and called the police. I was able to give them limited information and I was doing my best to remember everything. That little bit was enough to get 3 arrests. The police were well aware of these guys and their prior records. It might be in your case that just saying the guys were in a beat up brown car is enough to lead them to who did it.

Do me a favor, work with the police and report every instance of harassment or bulleying. You will feel better about it, and by you doing that, you might be saving someone else's life!

Thanks for all the replies and every.

I don't have a cellphone, don't have the money for one, which is also why I was walking(no gas money)

I did end up filing a police report but I couldn't get the make of the car or anything, it was all beat to hell and impossible to tell.

Besides I imagine it happened because school let out for summer.

Seriously, thanks for the support and everything.
I told my mom and she flipped, she initially called the cops, I guess I'm just looking at it like a bunch of kids being stupid, but stupidity can go pretty far sometimes.

And whoever said I made this is is a real fucking heel.
thanks for the update! Well ya seem to be handling things well enough. as for the bolded section, can I +1 that sentiment?! Some people...grrr!:mad:

I ride my bicycle whenever possible during warm weather and you would be amazed how many people think that it's okay to just cut you off in a car (when I have the right of way) because they assume I'm exposed on a light weight bike and they are in a heavy multi-ton car that I better stop or get the hell out of their way or get run down.

And the camera idea does work. I have a pocket on the side of my bike bag with one of those disposable phones that does not even work but as soon as I pull it out and point it, guaranteed they back the fuck off, especially if I yell something like "Youtube is gonna love this", I love the "Oh Fuck" look on their faces. A couple of times I have had people apologize. Hell, a cop did this to me and saw the phone and apologized.

Typed out a reply to this post ,but was so angry about your experience that i had to delete it ,as to post it would have got me banned for sure . What i will say is that i have a zero tolerance policy toward brain dead cowards such as those you encountered . Sadly , morons like them, are more prolific than one would prefer , and it is for this reason that i "put on" a straight persona when ever i am out and about . As some of the other respondents have suggested , a police report is the way to to go , but please do not take your own justice ,as this could ruin your life in a very major way . This i know from experience , it just isn't worth the crap that follows.

I'm so glad you reported this and your mom came to your defense by calling the cops. It's important not to try to take things into your own hands as they may be armed, they are most certainly dangerous. I'm sorry, I can only offer my sympathy.

I've been verbally harassed on numerous occasions while minding my own business in a public place. Some thugs have an extra sensitive gaydar that they use for their own amusement and at the expense of other innocent members of the public. Their reasons are sick and not worth exploring. It's not just a local phenomenon. It's global. One of my exes was stabbed for no reason walking home at night, in Adelaide, South Australia. Another was mugged in Central Park, New York, a supposedly sophisticated city. He had to go to hospital with a cut throat when they yanked a gold chain from around his neck.

I was groped as a 14 year old virgin, called a tart when I was even younger, I've even been sent home from an overseas holiday with "friends" because they thought, wrongly, as a homo, I'd be a danger to their kids.

It's important to stand up for yourself, but not place yourself in danger. Let the authorities take the risks, but you got to force them to take responsibility for your safety. You are a citizen worthy of their protection.

Take care. People who think we make this stuff up have their heads in the sand, or some other hole.

I looked at your album. How on earth they thought you a female is beyond me. The whole thing about making a police report is great. I don't believe in becomming a victim in the first place. The exercize of the second amendment leads to a more polite society. The thought that another person may be exercizing his/her right to possess and carry makes bad people think twice about doing something stupid.
I pray for young men like you who are hazed, harrassed, and made miserable by stupididy on the part of others.
I am very glad men like you are on this site. I would be pleased to have you as a friend.
