Things that go bump in the night.

As a Junior at Kettering, I do a lot of joking about Flint, and how unsafe it is. I always thought of it a just a joke. My joking about Flint's safety ended tonight. I was on the receiving end of a mugging. I was walking home from late-night lab work, when I was approached by 3 guys. After attempting to probe me for information as to whether I was carrying a phone, the chased me down and pulled a gun on me. They told me to lay down, and went through my pockets. Fortunately, other than my phone (which they missed), I was carrying nothing of value. They left without taking anything.

Often stories of crime are nameless, and consequently, victim-less. As a result it has no impact on our actions. Hopefully, this blog post will give you a name to put on the crime and encourage you to take precautions against being the victim of a mugging.
