Ok, here’s what happened. We were highschool age. One of the girls from the HS class brought her new “boyfriend” to church as a visitor. (Boy can she pick ‘em…she’s a real prize herself, almost as screwed up as the BF) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Anyway, turns out this guy was some kinda heavy druggie using loser. My friends noticed bad scars all over his arms, and he said he would get so high he couldn’t feel anything, then let a mean wild dog bite him for “fun”. He had…issues. Friend #2 is a shorter, overweight, weak person with little to no fighting/self defense experience. Friend #1 is like me, and has a lot of fighting/defense experience.

I believe it was after the HS class got out, and the HS age kids were scattered about the building. I was downstairs, everything happened upstairs. What happened was friend #2 was being his typical smart-mouth self, and said something to the BF that made him mad. It wasn’t anything that big a deal, but like I said, this guy wasn’t stable, and I’m guessing he was on something at the time. Anyway he pulls out a knife and comes at friend #2. Of course this scares the $h!t out of #2 because he knows he’s screwed and doesn’t know how to fight. Friend #1 gets between, pulls his own knife and tells the guy to back off. Friend #2 goes running to get me for backup, since he knows I’m armed, know how to fight, and I’m twice the size of anyone else involved. The BF swings at friend #1 a few times and manages to cut his leg. #1 tried only to defend himself and keep him back, and didn’t attack back although he could have killed him if he wanted.

By the time I got there, everything was over. I believe they called the cops. My friend didn’t press charges or anything. It wasn’t too bad, but bad enough he has a scar from it. The church elders told the BF he was banned and couldn’t come back. I think they put a restraining order or something on him to keep him away.

Yeah, we’ve had quite a few adventures at church…we also got in trouble in HS for sneaking in after hours and using our rappelling gear to rappell off the balcony. Good times, good times. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
