so that we're clear I just want to understand if you were being followed by stranger at night you would just keep walking I mean you wouldn't say a thing you would just wait to see what happens must be a nice neighborhood you live in cause if you're being followed in my neighborhood there's a reason and you don't want to wait to find out
Say something, possibly, jump them, break their nose and smash their head into the pavement, no. Someone following you is not cause to escalate the use of force. Any way you slice it, if you are worried or not you're better off to just run for it. Best case scenario you beat someones head into the ground and kill them (yeah, it doesn't take much for head injuries to kill or comatose a person). Then YOU have a murder rap and "he was following me" isn't going to cut it. Worst case scenario, the person following you DID intend to rob or murder you and you're running right into whatever they have planned anyway.
Really I feel super bad for you if you have to live in a place where another pedestrian is likely to try to rob, rape, or murder you. I lived in the hood for a few months in Florida, and never again. In that neighborhood when you heard gunshots it was proceeded by "yo, what's up? you want summa dis n****?", then followed by the screech of tires and a box chevy with no lights on speeding off. Where I chose to live now, when you hear gunshots your neighbor is going to invite you over for venison burgers tomorrow or is simply keeping in practice.
In my neighborhood we have a "neighborhood watch"... sort of. Everyone is armed and most of us open carry. Everyone knows everyone though and I'm sure if someone who didn't belong here was high on cough syrup casing houses, one of us would draw down on him BEFORE calling 911 and before asking him WTF they are doing here. Then again, this is a private, dead end road.
1. Move out of the ghetto.
2. Don't do or sell drugs, and avoid those who do.
3. Don't assault people.
4. Wear a seatbelt.
This will greatly increase your probability of living until 40.... if you want to make 60:
4. Avoid smoking tobacco, and drink only in moderation or not at all
5. Don't eat fatty foods and maintain a healthy weight
6. Get regular exercise.
Leading cause of death in young black folks is other young black men ( more than car accidents and suicide together!)
Homicide Leading Cause Of Death Of Young Black Men, Says FAU Researcher
After 40 it's newports, Malt liquor, KFC/McDonalds, and fucked up parts of a pig (heart disease). I must say I can get down with some chitlin's, neckbones, hog jowls, etc. but the **** plain isn't healthy and should be used in moderation..... really I think cigs and fast food are probably the worst of that lot though, so if your family does some good cooking that's the last thing to give up.
From there it's largely genetic, but, for real. No reason to live in a place where you're likely to be a victim of your own neighbors. Do something about it, or GTFO!
