BRENDA GETS ROBBED ON THE WEST SIDE OF CHICAGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mimiplastique]

Heres the scoop . Last night well early this morning my roommate Brenda was robbed by a black man.

It all began when my little boy toy came over to spend some time with me and then anther one of my friends came over. I asked him not to come over dressed up as a woman and he did anyway. Well to make a long story short he acts very wild when he dresses as a woman and take it as a joke . So me being who i am i go into my room and me and my little kick go and see me on the Maury show from earlier that day ... the cross dresser was out in the living room with Brenda acting a fool and watch theres something about Meriam .
In as little as 5 or 10 minutes of being in the room brenda says that she is volunteering to take this kid home . Not knowing what was to come next i rolled my eyes and Brenda walked out with my friend and me and the boy stayed in the house .
Now this kid lives around the corner and about 45 minutes later i got a little worried . I called brenda and she sounded very bothered about what was going on . I hear two voices in the back ground ... One of an angry black man and the other a laughing nonchalant crossdresser . :evil: My immediate response was telling her to get that man (both of them) out of her car and asking how all of this happened . She was obviously preoccupied with the passengers in her car to talk to me . so she hangs up the phone and assures me that she will get the situation under control .
Anther 45 minutes goes by and i call her even more upset than before .
She says to me that the crossdresser is out of the car but the balck man is ....
My gut say to Breanda .... Pull over next to a police car and get him the fuck out of the car. Note: not only was he very disrespectful to Brenda but he expected head and a ride home .... I had to put my foot down where i stood . Because with the panic condition that i have i was going crazy ! Get him the fuck out of the car I said Over and over .... She begins to talk with him and tells him she will charge for her services. He reply s he has no money and she say s sorry i cannot help you .... The call is ended. I call back at least 30 times to get a voice mail on a first of second ring ... 2 hours goes by and some one posing as Brenda picks up the phone and say to me "i'm sucking dick I'll call you back "
so i call the police .... by this time Brenda is walking in the door and she tells me how she lost her black berry ... all of her cards and her purse was destroyed !


[/b] what the fuck is this world coming to when people take full advantage of an obviously defenseless hard working person Like Brenda
Personally i could not stress enough she could have died lasr night or been terribly injured . I am extremely happy that she is okay ... but pissed off she did not take my warnings and make an attempt to find a police car ! :angry :angry :angry :angry :angry :angry :angry :angry :angry :angry

[Night Rider]

Thats nuts...just glad Brenda's ok!

Sounds like u were lucky Brenda, take it as a warning

[hungone]

Im sorry this happened but what you need to understand is that all black people aren't like that. You sound like you don't like black guys the way you say it like we all are criminals. I mean I am sorry to hear what happened because nobody deserves that. You girls need to get a bodyguard or something.

[BrendaQG]

Yeah.

Mimi was trying to be a little funny with the way she described it. Basically she was truthful.

For one thing that friend of hers... He was so drunk and so obviously a crossdresser. I did not want him to get hurt or something. It's one thing to act like that up north in boystown and near it...something else entirely on the west side. So I offered a ride home. At a red light they offered a ride to a totally random guy who caught their eye. I protested, once that guy was in he would not leave. I tried to throw them out... each time I pulled into a service station or other well lit public place. I was abel to get that crossdresser out but not the guy. The guy demanded to be driven to Lake st and Central Ave. Where I knew there was a EL station. Which is under 24 hour police survelance and has security.

By the time Mimi had called me I was already at that station and I had spent about 20 minutes refusing this guys sexual advances. Telling him to get out. I do not know what else I could have done. I had no weapon and he was much stronger than me. We struggled for a minute in the car, I then chased him on foot for a block. He motioned under his coat as if he had a gun. At which point I did not want to take the chance.

For what it's worth I had almost no money on me, my credit cards are maxed and I had no money in my checking account. Having had a rough couple of weeks in business worked to my advantage here. So all that guy stole was some worthless plastic, and a PDA/Cellphone that has been totally remotely deactivated.

I have my health and faith in Allah and with those I will be ok.

[elo]

What a good night story.Glad Brenda is OK.How did she pic up that guy that robbed her?

[BrendaQG]

What a good night story.Glad Brenda is OK.How did she pic up that guy that robbed her?

The drunk that I was driving home took it upon himself to unlock MY cardoor and invite the guy to ride in the car with us. I had to stop that person from having sex with him right in my car.

Once he was in I could not get him out. I mean, what , estradiol is not known for building rock hard muscles.

[loki]

I mean I am sorry to hear what happened because nobody deserves that. You girls need to get a bodyguard or something. She gets robbed and you try and turn it into "she sounds racist". Does that mean if someone gets robbed or beaten and they mention it was a black person then they are racist to you? I just hope that Brenda was not seriously hurt and no one else tries to give her the third degree. I am sick and tired of this bullshit she/he is a racist ranting.It's getting old .

Calm the fuck down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck are you getting bent out of shape for, do what I did when hung wrote the reply, move on to the other replies (no disrespect hung, I'm a fast reader, lol)

Anyway

Look a few things Bren
1. The muhfucka lives around the corner, he can walk home, sure he knew his way
2. Power locks on your car? If not I understand, but if you do, fuck the passenger, I'd have locked the power locks so that only I could unlock the doors.
3. Since he invited the muhfucka into your car, guess who owes you a new phone?!? Even if you get comped one from the company, make his dumb ass buy you one so you can either make some money off of it or have a backup.
4. Worst case scenario, pull over to a well lit location (as you were doing) take the keys out of the ignition, go to a phone and call 5-0. He'll get out, trust me.

[Jericho]

Glad you're ok.

[peggygee]

So sorry you had to experience that, but it's good to know you are
physically okay.

[hungone]

Obviously Brenda understood where I was coming from and it wasn't the way you took it as Loki. Its not as serious as you are making it out to be. And Brenda im glad you are ok and you need to be careful on those mean streets of the Westside late at night. Or invest in the bodyguard I suggested.

[Chuck]

To anyone this may happen to. Stop the car, take the fukkin keys and run.

It just goes to show a sad lesson in life I am yet to see disproven.

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.

Not quite. It turns out he lived more than a few blocks away. It was really not as trivial as you are making it sound.



2. Power locks on your car? If not I understand, but if you do, fuck the passenger, I'd have locked the power locks so that only I could unlock the doors.


Usually that's exactly what I do. I also usually keep at least a knife handy. At 3:00AM today I had not slept for a long while. I have to plead dimished capacities.



3. Since he invited the muhfucka into your car, guess who owes you a new phone?!? Even if you get comped one from the company, make his dumb ass buy you one so you can either make some money off of it or have a backup.


That's exactly what is going to happen. His ass is going to buy me a new smartphone if he values' Mimi's friendship at all.



4. Worst case scenario, pull over to a well lit location (as you were doing) take the keys out of the ignition, go to a phone and call 5-0. He'll get out, trust me.


I'll keep that in mind in the future. In the time It would have taken me to unbuckel and get out he could have done what he did.

[Ecstatic]

I'm glad you're OK, Brenda. It could've been worse, but I'm sure it was harrowing enough to go through.

[trish]

I'm so sorry Brenda. It can be a very traumatizing experience and expensive too. I hope you can put it all behind you. I'm glad you're safe.

[will39]

Glad to hear your ok I actually live on the westside and yes if your not careful you can get caught up but that's every where you go in this crazy city we call CHI-TOWN....be safe brenda

[BrendaQG]

I'll be just fine. I was approved for a new Credit Card and will be able to replace the phone in a week.

[bad2nice]

I'll be just fine. I was approved for a new Credit Card and will be able to replace the phone in a week.


Glad you are OK, maybe you should get some mase or something.

[TsVanessa69]

I'll be just fine. I was approved for a new Credit Card and will be able to replace the phone in a week.Luis is a drug addict, he doesn't care. Trust me he will never pay for that phone. He will just think its funny and tell all his friends. Being nice to drug addicts not always a wise decision. If Mimi rolled her eyes, that was the signal, LEAVE IT ALONE!

[62des]

I hope everything is ok.

[dskreet2]

Brenda, I am happy that you are o.k. I sometime think about some of the crazy stuff that seems to ALWAYS happen when NO police are to be found. Any street security camera where you exited the vehicle for the brief chase?

I am happy you stopped after he indicated he had a gun. Because of all the crime this past week, like the guy who confronted the Psysho Kids who had thrown eggs at his car. Then the kids shot him when he got out of the car.

[BrendaQG]

Yes there was two of them. One was a a Police Camera right by the El station. The ones in the Dunkin Donuts across the street. I assume in the El station itself but I don't know about that.

Exactly. I mean the phone I had was a Nokia E62 the cheapest phone of it's kind available. I also realize that since I blocked my service that it is now 100% useless. With a PDA smartphone there is no way to make it a "burn out"* like was done back in the old days. It's also locked into my carrier. So based on being able to reason with the criminal and wanting to get my contacts and information back...I made this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LiUIKrGb_E

I put it on my blog which seems comes up when certain topics are googled. I really don't care who see's it. The whole point of putting something on you tube is for people to see it. I do wish I had a better voice though.


* A "burn out" was a cell phone that had been modded at one time by literally burning out a certain microchip. Once a phone was a burn out it could be used for unlimited calls with no bill ever.

[justatransgirl]

I'm a little late - but Brenda I'm glad you are OK - it could have been so much worse. We could be watching them hunt for your body on CNN.

Ladies - if anyone ever gets in your car, stop and get out immediately and call 911. Don't drive anywhere, don't give any warning. Just slam the brakes on in the middle of the street and jump and run. (Take the keys.) Trust me it will solve the problem in most cases.

This guy essentially kidnapped Brenda and was trying to force her into providing sex - there's like several major felonies here.

Yeah - and try to get the Chicago PD to do anything about that right? From what I've heard they'd probably line up for their turn.

Just glad you are OK honey. Find some better friends...

Hugs,
TS Jamie :-)

[BXCanada]

glad to know you are okay :)

If that would have happened, since she is trans, it probably wouldn't make it to the local newspapers let alone CNN. :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

When was the last time you saw a murdered trans girl get widespread national news coverage?

He didn't kidnap her or jump in. Brenda and Luis went"scumming" on the wrong side of town and picked up the wrong guy thats all. Now maybe she learned her lesson and will never do that again. "Scumming" is when a ts goes on the ruff side of town to pick up straight boys for fun.

I have thought really hard about weather or not I would have gotten away if I had done that. He was not wearing a seatbelt and I as always was. It takes time to unbuckel and time to get out.

All in all though I would rather loose my relatively cheap smartphone than my car.

Vanessa. All I did was ofer Luis a ride home. Since I did not know where Luis lives (as I had never been to his home) I had to take his directions. When luis saw that guy and said to slow down I thought he was going to do what mimi will sometimes do. Yell something obscene then we would drive off. All he did was unlock the door.

Either way as soon as I told that guy NOT TO GET INTO MY CAR, then got in anyway, he was in the wrong.

It' really amazes me how you are able to tell people about things you were not there to see and places you have never been. And people say I am a know it all.

Next time step on the gas. and leave people like Luis on therir own. If you have doubts about somebody ask me or Mimi and we'll let you know whats up, usually a roll of the eyes is the clue.

[mimiplastique]

this thread has turned into a bullshit fun fest of laughter


luis is a cd

and a drunk coke head

the youtube vid was taking this a tad too far
no body who robs you will sit and think to go online and view your plea . and if he did this will only MAKE HIM fall out .
i am super glad your okay

[CORVETTEDUDE]

Brenda...Sorry, I'm way behind the power curve here, and want you to know, I'm glad you're Ok. I do have to say, however, where you live is not conducive to an uninterupted lifestyle. Why, on earth, anyone would want to live in that hell hole, is beyond me.

Ever think of moving away from there? Cellphones and cars can be replaced...you, on the other hand, cannot!

[Idgaf]

I have sent a PM to you that contains suggestions
that I have learned from having my Property compromised.
Please consider the long term implications not just the short term.
Property can be replaced ,Life and Imagination cannot.

Your Higher Power is with You.

[BeardedOne]

Brenda, I've chatted with you in the past and I know you're sharp, but some of this just isn't right. You need some sleep, babe.


the youtube vid was taking this a tad too far

Yah, even if this git has access to a computer, I doubt that he's searching YouTube for "Cell Phone Thief". Even so, while your offer to not prosecute is kind and forgiving, your offer to testify on his behalf is certainly counter-productive. Don't reward bad behaviour. Look at the results of that practice in the political arena. :roll:

Sometimes it is not a matter of =wanting= to live there. Income and budget are key pieces to one's living situation. I've lived in some pretty sad neighborhoods in my lifetime (To give an example, the entire neighborhood in which I lived from 1987-90 is currently being bulldozed in the interest of community safety and betterment - More than 200 homes/apartments). Just because one is smart enough not to live in the "Hell's Kitchen" of their community, does not necessarily mean that they have the wherewithall to move out of it.

Just glad you are safe.

Yeah - sad to say it but you have a point Sarah, I say the last and only time I can recall was Gwen Araujo.
