On Saturday night I went out to a classy bar to watch my friends' band play. It was a great night... the band played better than they have in a long time. Everyone was in a good mood... and there was a huge crowd that was really getting into their music. It was fuckin' MAGIC I tell ya!

... After the show, my friends and a few members of the other band they played with went back to one of their houses in order to help unload equipment and to split up the money they'd made that night.

That's when they were robbed at gunpoint.

Seven grown men were at the mercy of two thugs ... one carrying a fucking assault rifle and the other a snub-nosed revolver of some sort.

They took their money, their cell phones, their weed ... and for good measure, they beat my friend D ... who was crippled in a motorcycle accident 10 years ago... with his own cane and stole the cane as well. They thought he was "holding out on them". They roughed up my friend M because he had a large amount of weed in his pocket... (3 ounces). For some reason, they felt like they had to shove him to the ground and kick him a few times because of it.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY!?

Apparently the cops were really nice. They showed up within minutes of being called and were helpful to my friends... even getting them to laugh a little.

Needless to say, that put a damper on the whole weekend. I almost went with 'em to the house, too... but my other friend needed me to fix his computer and insisted that it couldn't wait. ... Being a geek saved me from a traumatic experience, I guess.

...SERIOUSLY. WTF.

This is why entertainers should have armed security with them at all times.

I agree... but even if there had been an armed person or two, these guys probably would've gotten the best of my friends anyway. The fact one of 'em had an assault rifle is what gets me...

They snuck up on 'em, came out of the darkness and then left the same way. Found out just now D's bank card was used at a convenience store not far from where they were robbed. D had already called the banks and cancelled all his shit, so luckily he didn't lose any money. The place that the card was used at has security cameras, hopefully the culprit was caught on tape and they can possibly use it to ID him somehow.

The world is scary.....I was robbed at gunpoint once, I was a kid working in a dry cleaners and a guy came in with a rifle and held me in the back while another girl waited on customers. It is something I will never forget. The guy that robbed us was never caught. I hope your friends are okay and I hope they catch the thugs that did this to them.

Shit like that happens here in canada, only it usually isn't assault rifles. Knives are the weapon of choice it seems. Sorry to here about it . They'll get theirs, karma is a bitch.

You bet they'll get theirs... hopefully in the form of ass-rape while they rot in prison. >:[

Why bother roughin people up when they r clearly co-operating cos they have guns!

It's bad enough to rough someone up who is co-operating... it's worse that they roughed up a CRIPPLE.

Dickheads.
