Today my Dad was tied up and held at gun point. I couldn't believe him when he told me and it was hard for him to believe either, he said it felt like he was tripping on Salvia.
I just need to share this and get this off my chest because it's very scary to deal with and it kind of shows the dangers of being involved with a bad crowd.
He told me several black guys broke through the 2 entrance doors of his apartment using a slimjim like for breaking into cars, then they waited in his hallway this morning. As soon as he unlocked his door to goto work, they barged in and cracked him in the back of his head with a gun, tied him up and robbed his apartment.
I'll elaborate a bit more later but I have to pick up my gf right now, I'm sorry.
Thanks
Oh dude, I'm really sorry that this happened to your dad, that's seriously fucked up. And it surely is hard to deal with, shit like that makes you feel so helpless and raging at the same time...
Wow man, I am SO sorry to hear that!! Is your dad OK? Is there an investigation going on?? If there is any way we can help you please let us know!
Shit, that's crazy I hope he is feeling better and you too! I'm really sorry, I just hope it can be solved, or is solved now.
No wonder I don't fucking trust anyone. Shit like this going on... Hope everything ends up OK. I couldn't even imagine being in such a horrific situation.
Yeah, my Dad had a friend who was super paranoid about everything, he even video taped himself in his own house. It didn't help this guy much though and he has two big rottweilers for security. The robbers just pointed a gun to his head and told him to lock his dogs up in the back. My Dad isn't friends with this guy anymore though and kind of suspects that he may be related to this incident, either him or the new Jamaican guy he started dealing with. It's kind of sad my Dad is still going to be involved in this stuff but at least he does have one real friend he can trust remaining.
The CSI team was searching my Dad's apartment in Brooklyn yesterday. He was kind of worried they'd find a roach and they told him they know he has stuff, they can tell from his Grateful Dead poster, but that's not really their objective since they just want DNA. The cop that showed up is also the same cop that arrested him when his ex-wife called them years ago, though he doesn't remember my Dad.
So here is what these guys almost kill my Father for. His Father's rolex, a safe containing 40k in cash (which they didn't take the key, combo or ask him to unlock) and 3 Lbs of regular.
What they missed? The exotic, the hash, the 10k in his trash bin and they had no interest in his new TV or computer.
His injuries were being cracked in the back of the head and the ribs and they almost suffocated him using the couch pillows. The doctors barely gave him anything for it, he said a joint would be better for relieving the pain. He was saying how the whole experience felt like he was tripping on Salvia, how unreal it was.
They tied him up upstairs while they searched downstairs his apartment and he was actually able to free himself from the rope at one point. As soon as he broke free, he was preparing to escape the apartment and one of the guys ran up stairs and got even more pissed. He has weapons all over the wall of his apartment but it's really not anything he can use to defend against someone with a gun.
What a way to start your day.
What's sad is my siblings are probably concerned but at the same time, they know this is the life he is involved with and probably feel he deserves it. I can't say it's not a warning or an example.. but I don't want to think like anyone ever deserves anything like that. It's kind of like when I got arrested, yea I deserved it but what they did to me and my gf almost killed us that night. My Dad was the only person I could turn to when that incident happened and financially I just always feel secure with him there as my safety net but really.. he himself has no safety and he's basically all alone in NY now that most of my family moved. Hopefully I'll be seeing him soon when he visits, we'll probably see Umphrey's McGee together and maybe I'll visit NY to keep him company there for a bit.
Thanks a lot for the sentiments. I understand this is a bit too much drama for me to pour on you guys especially since I'm so fresh to this community but I'm glad I have some caring people to share this with who won't be judgmental.
I don't think nobody judges you here, I don't... I just hope for your and your fathers sake that there'll be no more violence, or that this situation escalates.
True, wise words spoken from the true, wise and413. Ditto all the way.
Hey man, this whole community is new and everyone here is new! Doesn't matter a bit though, every one here has become tight-knit and I feel close to everyone here.
Also, it doesn't matter what sort of "things" your father is involved in - nobody EVER deserves something like that to happen to them. Shame it happened to him though, I hope he makes a full recovery, both physically and mentally!
i dont know what to say...i followed this thread but never found the right words to respond to it.
im sorry for you and your dad and i hope this will never ever happen again.
