Last Thursday night at 1:30 a.m. I was mugged on South Elliott Place between Dekalb and Lafayette by 2 young men (between 16-25, but didn’t get a good look). They came running up from behind and grabbed me (not sure if they jumped out of the bushes or a dark area under a stoop), threw me to the sidewalk, said they were holding a gun to my head, frisked me, and took my wallet, phone, keys, bag, and then ran away.
The victim also reports that, according to a detective at the 88th Precinct, this is the third time in the last week that a woman in her early 20s has been mugged by two men of matching descriptions between 1 and 4 a.m.
Got ilk?

Is the ‘what’ trying to confuse us, but using old english?
“Please Dumbasses tell me that everything is OK. You and your ilk are going to get smoked in 2009 and I can’t wait!!!”
Everything is going to be OK What, though I hope nobody smokes my ilk.

Tribune Files for Bankruptcy
http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/08/tribune-files-for-bankruptcy/?hp
The Tribune Company filed for bankruptcy protection in a federal court in Delaware on Monday, as the owner of The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Cubs baseball team struggled to cope with rising debt and falling ad revenue.
In a court filing, Tribune said it had nearly $13 billion in debt, compared to $7.6 billion in assets. Most of that debt was taken on when Mr. Zell acquired the company — a deal he struck using mostly borrowed money. All of the now privately held company’s equity is owned by an employee stock-ownership plan.
Tribune has sought to ameliorate its woes by selling off assets like the Chicago Cubs, but the company still faces a looming debt crunch.
While Tribune must contend with hefty interest payments over the next year, its most pressing problem was a maintenance covenant on some of its debt that limits the company’s borrowings to no more than nine times earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization.
Even if the company continues to make interest payments, failure to maintain that level of debt means technical default — which does not always lead to a bankruptcy filing, though in Tribune it apparently did. Other newspaper publishers have halted making interest payments on their debt, but have yet to file.
Please Dumbasses tell me that everything is OK. You and your ilk are going to get smoked in 2009 and I can’t wait!!!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
“I’ve had broken bones from getting jumped.”
I’ve got one bone in particular I’d like to break in for ya, Pole.
Kidding, kidding…
DIBS, we have to get you out!
I come home every night, between 10:30pm and 1:30am.
I can’t remeber the last time I was out past 1 AM.
“I’ve had broken bones from getting jumped.”
Pole, not enough, I guess, not enough!!
I got to say I agree. This sounds like a pretty standard mugging in my book.
She easily could have been raped and/or murdered. That would have been violent.
I’ve had broken bones from getting jumped. It doesn’t sound like she even had a fat lip.
Sensationalist thread.
