Getting Attacked and Self Defence

A reader shared with me a story that happened to him recently which I found shocking and wanted to share on the blog. I don’t have anyway of verifying his story but if it is true then it’s pretty messed up and freaky. Below is his story slightly edited by me.

Two weeks ago, I got jumped by five guys! Yep, five guys. It all started in the gas station, where this SUV loaded with these a-holes eyeballing me for no obvious reason. I have never met them in my life. So I gased up my car and left not caring about them or causing any trouble.. I mean come on who am I to cause any trouble with an SUV loaded with muscular guys.. I was alone.

So I left.. as I entered some dark parking lot, this SUV appears and blocks me! And they come out running towards me, so I obviously shift to reverse and let my foot give an orgasm to the pedal. BUT! They run back into the car and follow me, RAMMING ME.. yes, this is in Kuwait.. just like in the movies, they’re ramming and whacking the shit out of my 2009 Corvette and trying to block me, they did that for like 5 or 6 km! Everyone was looking at them just basically ramming me trying to stop me, I managed to escape to a main street where people would see me and help! Finlly, they hit me from the left rear and my car spins and ends up a few meters away from the street light!

And the story doesn’t end there. After everything they did one would think they’d run away or something but that didn’t happen. They got out of their car came over to mine and beat the shit out of me! All of them! Can you imagine? Everyone on the street was just standing there watching not helping. What the hell, am I being executed? I was shocked, alone and helpless.

The reason he emailed me is he wanted to know the legality of self defense weapons like stun guns and pepper spray. If you had one would it be legal to use in a situation like his? Is there a store in Kuwait the sells self defense weapons? I don’t know what I would have done in his situation.

Update: Below is a picture of the rear of the car. Note the rear wheel…

Update2: Here are more shots plus a map of where the incident took place. This was also in the papers.


Here is a large size of the map [Picture]

Update3: Here is an update I just received which explains a lot of things. It wasn’t a random attack and it did involve a girl.

I had my girlfriend with me and the reason why I was going to the parking lot is to drop her to her car. After the investigation it appears that the SUV’s driver is her ex-bf which she left over a year ago.. Some fucking grudge huh? And one of the guys with him is his younger brother, and rest are his friends.

I didn’t want to give out that information since I didn’t want it to interfere with the investigation or whatever, I’m telling you now because I made sure that it is ok to talk about the incident and won’t cause me any legal issues.

Anyhow, the girl was with me the whole time and they beat her up too! And the reason why no one in the street helped is because the guys were yelling “it’s a family/honor matter” Which it’s not! I tried to explain to them on the spot but no one listened.

When the police came, all of the guys managed to escape except the driver. But they eventually got them because their were a lot of witnesses. And of course, they’re denying everything they did!

Don’t know about self defense, but that is not strange to me. It never happend to me but many guys tried to stop me for unknown reason, it is always happens at late night when I drive a sports car or ride a motorbike alone. No one managed to stop me cos it is the time to explode my moderate driving/riding skills.

SUV loaded with 5 guys following a 2009 Corvette and catching up with it must be runing on Jet fuel!! come on..get real! Either your a bad story maker or a bad driver!

It’s not like they were driving at high speeds, the guy was obviously on his way to some place, hence him pulling into a parking lot. This isn’t Need for Speed.

Still, a C6 vette will outrun any SUV without even trying. I was surprised they even caught up with him. He could easy get on any highway, or main road for that matter, go WOT and leave them in the dust. No way they’d be able to keep up, then just take any exit back home or wherever. Plus why the hell would anyone beat anyone up for no reason? Somethings not right… Either he’s trolling and making shit up or that is not the full story behind what happened.

Once anything hits the Corvette tires, there’s a security limiter. It will limit your speed to about 85 km/h

If something was damaged bl tires or any critical part of the car.. a speed limiter will kick in 🙂
Go ahead and try it

that’s really messed up… and did the guy went and report the incident on the nearest police station?

*always bring a paintball gun in your car… 🙂

First, we should take the story with a grain of salt.

Second, if it is true, then there are MANY ways an SUV can catch up to a Corvette. I take it this didn’t happen on a track but on the road with traffic, obstacles, etc. SUV’s jump curbs.

Third, if this really happened, he did the only thing he could have. You really think pepper spray or stun gun would help against 5 guys? He would maybe get 2 of them before the others got to him. Unless you have a real gun, best thing to do is what he did.

Maybe there’s more to the story.

Everyone should be asking, why would this guy want to be lying? His name isn’t revealed and he’s really not gaining anything out of this. He has a legitimate question revolving around self defense.

Trolling, see the comments reached +100, that’s self-achieving trolling and it was successful 😀

If this incident is true, then it has to be a setup for sure. He should try and short list the people who have a grudge against him and take it from there. On the other hand he may have cut these guys off on the road, hence they may have wanted to teach him a thing or two. All said, such an incident is not acceptable and has to be reported. I was wondering if he got the Plate number of the SUV?

It happened to me too in Salmiya ! i can imagine what must have gone through him ! actually i have came through a Great Genius Idea after this happened ! just buy a huge buckle belt and when anything happens like this ! and just wack him with the metal side on his Face “REAL HARD” and by luck you might escape ! thats why i hate showing off stuff you showed off your corvette and the 5 idiots got jealous and so on…. just buy a simple economy car and stay invisible ! get it….

430 hp and 0-60 time in 4 seconds flat….. And an suv did that to him? I have a corvette and im telling you this is not possible… the car is faster than an m3 how can an suv do that to him for 6 km? this car does 300 KM/h easily

I personally think the dude pissed them off thinking that he’d be able to outrun them… then they caught him in the parking lot ;/

please matdish ilmo5 wain i9eedoona ya jima3a corvette hatha moo smart….. and regarding the above comment with all the curbs and how an suv can catch up with him…. he should of stepped on it and showed them what a 6.2L v8 can do… a dent in the front bumper from all the speed bumps would be much better than a salvage title like the piture above…. 7aram 🙁

People who love Kuwait try to deny/are in denial of any story that might put Kuwait in a negative light. I don’t know if this story happened or not, but there is no reason to doubt it. And you are looking for the most useless details to try to make him sound like a liar. I got jumped by 7 guys before because I was walking with an attractive girl, but then these random guys that have no idea who I am jumped in (I was lucky) and helped me out. thanfully I wasn’t hurt.

all im saying is that things happen, even if it hasnt happened to you or you dont hear of it. some people just enjoy fighting for no reason. they get an adrenaline rush from it and love it; it is disgusting and it happens everywhere.

Oh, and give me a break with the whole corvette being much faster than an SUV. The guy doesnt want to kill himself/others while trying to get away from these guys.

Why when someone tries to argue against something that does not sound right, should be labeled as “in denial” or “defender of Kuwait” !!!

Things can happen, but we don’t have to accept or agree with some stupid stories.

“The guy doesnt want to kill himself/others while trying to get away from these guys”… hmm so in other words the guy would much rather put himself in danger by having five buff guys following him in a SUV, who could’ve potentially caused his death, have I got it?
and btw there’s NOTHING wrong with being skeptical about a story that puts kuwait in a negative light, especially this one which, in my opinion, is total BS.
Do expect “people who love kuwait” to defend this country at every opportunity, and yes denial is a form of defense. Fixing the matter happens within 🙂

for the people telling him oh you drive a corvette, they’re in an SUV!..first of all he didn’t know they were following him so it was unexpected..if you read on you do realize he says i went on a road…you know that there are cars on the road it’s not only him and the SUV? unless if a corvette can fly over cars or something?

as for the self defense thing, if you remember their plate number faces or anything try the police? if nothing is done about this i guess you should go for a shotgun not a teaser or pepper spray.

As far as I know, it is illegal. There’s nothing in the law that says you can kill a man if you’re in fear of your life or someone else’s.

Wrong.
Self defense is legal in both Islam and the Kuwaiti constitution. It is also not a crime if you accidentally end up killing the attacker while defending yourself. Only the offender, if proven guilty in a court of law, may be punished in accordance to the law.

why didn’t the guy call the police or drive to the nearest police station?

Back in the days when I was followed by stupid guys I wouldn’t do anything to aggravate them. I would calmly drive on as if I am enjoying being followed then swiftly turn into a police station. You see nothing but the dust from their tyres…

I remember when i first started driving my mother was so freaked from the crazy people out there she wanted me to have a baby gun or em9achma in my car boot

Allah la ygolah if anyone is in his place the first thing to do while running for ur life is try and call the police! I say self defence classes would help… swiss army knives too!

“So I gased up my car and left not caring about them or causing any trouble.”

“as I entered some dark parking lot, this SUV appears and blocks me!”

He didn’t see it coming

yes at first, then he ran away and they followed him, when they ran after him and he escaped why didn’t he call the police? When they rammed into him why didn’t he call the police?

you think you have time to call the police while being bumped by another car? or while driving and escaping an SUV thats trying to kill you?
be real

1st where is a dark parking lot on Damascus street?
2nd the gas stations which are close to Damascus st are: either in Rawtha area, or Alsurra… but it will not take 5-6 KM of ramming in the dark until he gets to the main st !!!
3rd why didn’t he take their licence plate and report it to the Police ?

You should go to that street more often, there’s a gas station in Adailiya 🙂
And read the story carefully, el ryal 9ab banzeen o ra7 a parking lot, maybe jam3ya or something.
And also the guy didn’t mention if he did get the license plate or not, which I’m sure he did. Cuz both of their cars were wrecked and the police came bs 3gb shno

fail , Damascus st is only 4.9 km long until it reaches south surra (the name will be changed)

2nd the only parking lots are the qortoba one near the school and houses

3edaliya gas station

rowda park , houses and mosque car park

all those places are lit up and have lots of people around them

jam3ya : don’t think so , too much people akeed ra7 yid3am nas 3’eer il vette

Where are you guys from honestly?

If you never been to 3delya don’t talk about it, he was in the parking lot of 3delya co-op, exactly behind hardees and Burgerking

Know your streets, w about the how long the street is, he didn’t take the whole street you’ve seen he went in a random route.

I find the story some what strange.I mean why would he go into as he puts it “dark parking lot” at night.
Also the way he is presenting the story it sounds like a movie… i mean “as I entered some dark parking lot, this SUV appears and blocks me! And they come out running towards me, so I obviously shift to reverse and let my foot give an orgasm to the pedal”…. plzzzzz

And it gets more interesting “yes, this is in Kuwait.. just like in the movies, they’re ramming and whacking the shit out of my 2009 Corvette and trying to block me, they did that for like 5 or 6 km! Everyone was looking at them just basically ramming me trying to stop me, I managed to escape to a main street where people would see me and help” !!!!

Now honestly, does this sound like a true story ??
This has nothing to do with “defending Kuwait”, it is just “7adeth el3aqel bemayo3qal”

Call the police… ? maneuvre until they come?

or find a highway and hit the gas?

and he entered a parking lot with 1 exit? parking lots have at least 2 exits… why not hit the gas and make a run for it?

while driving he didn’t see them following him?

things dont add up buddy

Do you usually drive and constantly keep an eye on your rearview mirror to check if someone is going to kill you? What are the odds? This isn’t the jungle.

I dont know guys but in the background there is a cop in kuwaiti police uniform and people in kuwait drink no doubt about it, couldnt a bunch of drunk F*cked punks have been obsessed with the guys not reply to them or something got pissed and decided to beat the shit out of them.

The SUV caught up to him cause he didnt knew if theu were following him.

And for all the fancy words in the story if i was to ever get beat up like that i would try to make myself cool rather than saying

“Some punks banged my car i tried to run they cut me off and beat the day lights out of me ”

SO i think its true

First of all a 2009 Corvette would definitely outrun any SUV ever built. Secondly, the guy was being rammed on a “main street”? Seriously? They could still keep up with him on a wider road? Oh and the part about being rammed and stopped and then being beat up by 5 guys next to a street light? If that really did happen; then he could of easily crashed into another car since their were people just standing there and watching. And I reaaalllllyyyyyy dont believe any person would just stand and watch a guy that just came out of an accident be beat up by 5 guys..AND what i presume, they got away with it?lol..BULLSHITTTTTTTTT.. Seriously mark? if this guy was serious about knowing the legality of self defense weapons like stun guns and pepper spray; im sure he would get better details from any local police department rather than a blog owner.

So if he said that he crashed into another car in the process his story would be more believable?
And what does the road’s width have to do with anything? What so he can have more space to drive sideways?! Or maybe do some donuts 😀 Yeah I can see how a wider road would help now!

And about “First of all a 2009 Corvette would definitely outrun any SUV ever built”
YouTube would like to have a word with you sir.

You guys know that most SUVs are packing more than 400hp now right? If not supercharged or got a turbo installed. I mean atleast 1 out of every 10 Land Cruiser or Safari Patrol is packing a turbo.. come on 😀

But why didn’t you call the police or try to take there license plate number? i am sure the police would do something about it.

Try to hold a phone in one hand and driving a Corvette with the other hand while trying to escape from a maniac in a SUV, I’m sure it was difficult, even if he managed to call the police, they came to the site very late.

fail no 2

u sound like the guy who wrote this crap 😛 no offence :B

bas 400 hp on a 2 tonne car is the equivalent of my ford grand marquis 240 hp or something

turbo charged ???? cruiser costs nearly 23 grand patrol 16 grand, so i shall ruin it with a turbo yeah right.

vettes should come with bluetooth systems , but im not sure thats the case in q8

With the amount of knowledge you and the vette owner has about cars, you both don’t deserve a vette ,

my son out runs lambo cops in NFS 😛 , u can’t outrun a suv in a vette ??? + for 6 km (it’s 4 check my old comment ) u didn’t check ur rear mirror

Now why would I write this “crap” ?
And how does a turbo system “ruin” your car? This isn’t a matter of speed, it’s a car chase and these things don’t usually occur in a straight line 🙂
And bluetooth is an option in most cars, some people don’t pay for it.

Turbocharging a Patrol is not as common here as it is in say the UAE or Qatar. Most patrols here running fat desert tires are slow as hell. with nothing more than a muffler and retune so they can rev it’s head off banging on the rev limiter.
The only SUVs that pack 400hp+ in stock form are the latest gen Caddy Escalades, supercharged Range Rovers, Porsche Cayenne Turbo’s, BMW X5M and Mercedes ML63 AMG.

You’re seriously sitting there telling me someone would fuck up his 50K KD SUV for absolutely no reason?
Like I previously said, this shit doesn’t add up.

It may be uncommon, but it’s still a possibility so don’t exclude it.. That’s what I’m trying to tell you

Story smells funny i am glad the guy is alive and all but… there must be a reason for them to do so… maybe it has girls or as we say “sharaf bel maw’9o3” its impossible for guys to do all that for no reason

And now Seeing its in Adailiya… i lived my hole life in that town and its one of the most peaceful places ever…

“there must be a reason for them to do so”

Whether it’s true or not, what does this have to do with anything? If this happened I can’t imagine any scenario that would justify it.

Self defense weapons are illegal in Kuwait. You used to be able to find batons in Salmiya and pepper spray in Ace Hardware but a lot of kids used to buy them for their fights…

What he should do though is keep the tire iron near him just incase. Since it is part of the necessary items for a car, it is not considered a concealed weapon. With that said however, he needs to practice how to use it properly and always run away. Unlike the movies, one man cannot beat up 5 without taking some serious damage.

Sad to say in Kuwait these things happen,
But the guy in the story might have some enemys
IE Diwaniya fight a couple of nights ago?? Something like that always happens in Kuwait, disagreements in Diwaniyas or something and it gets into a big grudge.
Also he’s diriving a corvette so maybe the punks where playing 5ezny wa5ezek cause he has a corvette he didn’t back down therefore they were like “ya3amy le7ga, 5ar3a” then they beat him up. ALWAYS BACK DOWN FROM 5EZNY WA5EZEK some ppl will fight. Its the heat + boredom = FIGHTING.
One time in kuwait a guys was trying to make an illegal U-Turn on the left lane, i honked my horn and he gave that 5aza which baiscally and i knew the guy had nothing to lose and would end up fighting me if i didn’t back down. I backed down why. Cause this is Kuwait we live in a machismo society where everyone has something to prove, ever since we were kids in school it was always “Haaa etha rayal 6ega, Haa ent moo rayaal yala shfeek 6ega”.
I am sorry to say these things happen in Kuwait and they do regularly, look at someone the wrong way or show-off in any way and u’re asking for a fight. In kuwait not a year passes by where i personally am not in one or two altercations/minor arguments per year, an i am a very peaceful person.
Not one weapons, if u want a weapon 4 self defense besure to know how to use cause if they get it from u they WILL USE IT AGAINST U. So i wouldn’t get a weapon plus its better that way incase the police get involved.

send him to core fitness and side kick academy. still if he cant drive, its highly unlikely he will hit back at 5 after training. he could carry red chilli powder with him,its legal. and he should quit gazing or mooning at muscular guys at gas stations.

He should have just tried honking his car horn to get the attention of people or cars around him. Or just flash his flashlights, Self Defense is legal, guys who attacked him sounded like steroid abusing 3gadi douchebags.

So what happened at the end? What did the police do? M.J. mentioned that the police had arrived later. Give us some details, why did the guys follow you? were they just drunk and stupid? or just stupid and had nothing to do? I’m sure the police will investigate this.

Regardless of whether the story is true or not, with pepper spray there’s a bigger chance of spraying yourself in the eye by accident. As for the stun gun, again bigger chance of the attacker(s) strongarming him and using his own stun gun against him. Violence begets violence… is what I wanna say but only ‘cuz we don’t have Krav Maga classes in Kuwait. Now that would be epic!

You dont need Krav Maga to defend from someone attacking you. Any Martial Art will do fine if the guy knows how to use it.

True, but Krave Maga = way cooler than any ol’ martial arts 😛 Personally, I’m a fan of running.

Last Ramadan, I was at our local co-op and parked close enough to the entrance. Lots of people around and yet somehow this dude grabbed me and tossed me in his SUV (only the back had tinted windows).

He then attempted to rape me. I thought of jabbing him with my car key but then thought what if he loses an eye, then I might get sent to jail. I have a delicate stomach, so I don’t think I’d fair well on what they serve as food in jail.

Anyways, I noticed that the door behind the driver’s seat was unlocked (alf ill7imdillah) so I just focused on that. While the guy popped into the driver’s seat to move the car to a more private location, I jumped out of the moving car, lost my balance, got back up and hauled ass back to my own car, and got the hell out of there, virginity intact. Go me!

Again, a whole lotta people around. Again, nobody lifted a finger to help. Bakc home I called the popos up to report the dude, and all they said was “You don’t have the guy’s license plate number. We can’t help”. Apparently, it was my bad for not taking the time to interview my would-be rapist.

So yeah, invest in a good pair of running sneakers and you’re solid. Thank you Addidas!

Wow that is a horrible experience! I’m really sorry that happened to you! I honestly think that CCTVs should be installed in all Co-Ops and under review of the Ministry! So they can’t say they didn’t get the license plates and details!

Dear mark,
did the victim file a case at the Police department? did he catch their SUV Number? is he a kuwaiti? because most of the time they can be caught in a time record . since the Al-Maymoni Scnadal , the interior min. is taking these kind of cases in a serious manner.
I hope He’s fine
God damn those Muscle Douches.

Stun guns are illegal in Kuwait.
Pepper Spray is kind of a gray area but assume it’s illegal, plus like Lulu said, in the heat of the moment, there is a huge chance of a person spraying themselves.
Self defense classes will always recommend backing off and only fighting if there is no other choice. However to get the necessary skills to fight you would need a couple of years of training.

Guys just added another picture he had sent me, this is of the rear. If you notice his rear right wheel is damaged which would explain why he couldn’t outrun the SUV.

I had a friend once who was been tailgated for no reason on the highway, even when he was trying to move out of the way the other car stayed on his tail. finally the car hit him sending him crashing into the highway barrier. again for no reason.

I think the Corvette Dude and the SUV Dudes were hitting on the same girl. And maybe the corvette had a lil success which pissed off the SUV dudes.

It’s not legal to own a weapon and what happened to him is also not legal.

So even if he used a weapon against them the authorities would not blame him coz the interior authority r sleeping and busy dealing with was6at.

Works everytime. You lose the follower just before you enter the parking lot. Great tip for ladies too!

Wow so no one is really answering the question! lol What does this person get out of making this up? Have you ‘non believers’ of this possibility NEVER been followed by stupid men on the road? Really? I’m a mom with a visible baby seat and sign that says BABY ON BOARD and i’m followed almost every night i’m out on the road. It’s not always possible to get away, it’s not a PS3 game. Our family friend died because 3 cars full of men were following her on the 30 close to Shaab. One vehicle touched her car and sent her car spinning out of control. Shit happens on the road here. It’s not the first road rage story i’ve heard or witnessed. Now can someone answer the lad’s question?! I want to know!

You will be under stress, you won’t have a large window of time to react, your body will shake, you will drop things from your hands, your feet will slip from the pedals, you you will make wrong turns, you will make wrong decisions, you won’t know what to do, cuz you’re not Vin Diesel. And someone will eventually catch you 🙂

We have a lot of these cars in Kuwait.

That is just CRAZY!! i cant believe this is happening in Kuwait! those guys were obviously either drunk or they thought he was someone they knew. As a girl am definitely gonna try to always keep a weapon with me, i dont care if am gonna have to be charged for that, i seriously dont wana die like that!

i would not doubt the story, a friend of mine out with his GF got eyeballed by a bunch of idiots in an SUV, he got stopped in the middle of Khaleej road in the afternoon and got the crap kicked of him, ended up with a severe concussion. Some people have nothing better to do! I have heard way too many weird encounter, of this kind!

Just go around to all the gyms when you have time till you see the SUV and slash the tires when the moment is right! They aren’t too lazy to go the gym and get all roided out but they are probably too lazy to change a tire let alone 4 tires!

Cuz I saw it and know it happened
How does that change anything if it was me or say, Mark was the victim?

Like I said, I saw it and know it happened, I’m not in denial so I’m trying to clear things up for you guys and raise awareness, it could happen to any one of us.

Hey MJ… We’re not in denial we just realized this guy isn’t being 100 honest and now the truth about this being because of his GF’s ex it makes more sense.

ur friend either got them pissed or they had something against ur friend, prior 2 seeing him at the gas station, my advice get a smith and Wesson baton, when ever i get into ur coz on the road, just pulling it out will make run

self defense law is difficult.
I mean you cant use a gum while someone is attacking you with a bat or a stick.
so do you cant use am RBJ while someone is using M16 … the self defense item that you should use should be at the same level of the attackers

Yeah I realised in kuwait there a lot of bullying going on… Especially the eye balling thing…. Usually big guys don’t pick on small guys especially if they are 5 wtf unless they are gay and weak…. Back to the story u get rammed by an suv why go to a parking lot ? Why not the police station or a police car on the road ? Where are your friends ? Abandon your car and get in a cab get help etc…. But maybe the guy was scared and got confused didn’t know where to go. Anyway I like breaking ppls bones for a living so if u see these 5 guys again plz let me know. peace keep kuwait safe 😉

Keep a can of cleaning spray in the car (bug spray may lead to permanent blindness). Pepper spray. Tasers online. Baseball bat under or behind the seat.

The best weapon you have is your cell phone camera. Once you take it out and start taking photos of their plate number, the A-holes usually disappear.

I think violence is becoming a lot more prevalent in Kuwait unfortunately.

It’s not hard to believe that guys in Kuwait have jealousy problems..I worked hard studied and I deserve to buy a nice car..if I wanna show it off kefeee..he chose to buy a cheap SUV..why should I be blamed for his taste..and his failures..I’m a girl and get hate stares all the time..which does not make Me angry just makes my ego so much bigger

1year of saving + 15,000KD loan can buy you a car… Why does daddy have to buy the car? Someones jelly…

As far as this story goes… sounds like an indian movie. If there were people standing around then someone would have spread the news around.

Someone needs glasses..i don’t need to prove myself to a jealous person again…! proof people.. is it coz I’m a girl I can’t be succesful..?

B.S.

Show us the receipt that states you paid 60k USD in cash for your “nice” car.
the cash you paid to buy you OWN nice house.

spare the drama ego face

Violent encounters are far too common in this country. Everyone has a short temper. Everyone is looking for a fight. Not just physical altercations, people are generally rude and passive aggressive. I can’t even count the number of mad ass phaggots I’ve had the personal displeasure of dealing with in ministries and places of work. And the thing is, it feels terrible to let people abuse you in a conversation. It’s self belittling to have to put on a fake polite smile when the employee across from you is mean mugging the living shit out of you. It’s not good for your self-esteem. If you let these small things go for the sake of being polite or avoiding escalation, eventually you will have caused significant damage to your self worth. So here’s my solution:

1- Eat Healthy. Fuel your body. Get bigger.

2- Lift heavy objects, do olympic lifting. Get strong.

3- Run. Do kettlebell swings. Regularly engage yourself in intense cardiovascular activity. Build your stamina.

4- Learn a form of combat sports. Box, grapple, wrestle. Learn to defend yourself. Most people don’t even know how to punch. If you get a heavy bag and learn how to punch powerfully and accurately, it’ll go a long way.

5- Learn to let go of your civilized social disposition. You may be a well-mannered civilized human being, but understand that you are surrounded by human animals. Be polite to people by default, but there’s no reason for you to continue being polite when people are being rude. Don’t smile when people mean mug you. When someone escalates, you escalate further. When someone pushes you, you swing towards their head.

6- ?????

7- Profit.

Try out my program for 3 months. You’ll feel much better about yourself. I guarantee it.

PS: I know this might not be very helpful when you’re being rammed off the road by an SUV carrying five violent phaggots, but it helps for other more manageable violent encounters, whether it be a verbal abuse or a one on one physical altercation. For this particular scenario, I can’t think of anything other than fleeing and living to fight another day. Sucks that this happened to someone, but that’s Kuwait for ya. Live<3Laugh<3 Love<3.

“No offense to anyone”
I do believe such incident could happen in Kuwait. I have seen an Arab rash driver pulling an expatriate near a signal, kicking, spitting and finally driving off as nothing happened. The only crime the other driver did was he didn’t allow him to go past the signal as it turned Red.

in the quite words of Tony Montana (aka scarface):
Say hello to my little friend…..
Joking aside if anyone attacks you, you should defend yourself. If you’re out numbered leg it mate. Another case of roid rage topped off with road rage.

After reading this story I would have been a bit skeptical about it. However, after hearing so many incidents like these occuring in Kuwait I wasn’t suprised when I read this one. Either this guy did something to exasperate their behavior(one glance would be enough to do that)or they were just jealous of his car/girl. But more likely it’s the latter. Some guys here are always on the prowl for fights and have nothing better to do. But yeah, in the heat of the moment you may panic and have no time to whip out your phone and aim at their license plate.Scary situation there. at the same time you don’t wanna press on the accelator and put your at life at risk because of a bunch of goons
With regards to self-defense weapons,
I think it would be appropriate to carry one in a stuation like this. I, for instance, would rather get charged for having one than remain crippled.

Steroid rage i.e. roid rage? I wonder it roid rage is becoming a problem in Kuwait. Sounds like a good topic for a documentary

wether people believe it or not these incedents happen in Kuwait …I hav no doubt what happened is true …alot of my friends have been in situations as bad as this but alhumdullah they are all ok …..The people who do all this are the shabab , the young adults .Everyone walks around with knives and look to cause a fight even if you have not done anything to them ..I am guessing they enjoy the adreanline out of this..i dont know…Salmiya is a good example where all these things happen

all you kuwait hate comments , if this where in the us you would probably be mugged by now , thank god that kuwait is safe , an incident like this won’t affect kuwait as a country, it will affect all those b/s guys to STFU or get in trouble 😛

No hate towards Kuwait bro, but anyone who’s lived in the states will tell you that people aren’t as rude or willing to fight over such petty things. While I agree that the nature of crimes in the US is far more brutal, you’re far less likely to get into a fight over a staring contest unless you’re in some sort of a gang infested area. So yes, the US is more dangerous in terms of crime, but Kuwait is worse in terms of rude behavior and random fighting.

Everyone is blogging, mocking and some concerned.

Regardless what has happened the out come is very simple. Contact the fuel station where you put fuel in your car when you made first eye contact and ask for the CCTV evidence of the attackers car!

Some common sense i think is required here..

So my question to the story teller, have you reported this to the police and have they been cought? You have gone some distance during this attack so its a must that at least one cctv would have picked up the attack video clips whilst this madness was taking place.

As for self defence, besides a gun i would recomend hitting the biggest lad out of the five ensuring you park him right on his arse!!

ahmad-if this were the US people would hav gotten mugged ???Do you know the number of people that have gotten mugged in Kuwait ??

This is a load of kangaroo dump . Just look at the discrepancies in the 2 pictures and I cant believe you are all falling for it.

The first pic obviously has a cover on the head rest, and the second pic doesnt. Lighting doesnt match..

On another point.. Look at this URL: I searched for some of the text from his email on Google and found a result (the 3rd one) on the list posted in Yahoo answers with the same questions.

If you click the link, you’ll notice Yahoo has deleted it because it violated house rules.

This is so very obviously a scam.

How is he scamming us? Is he asking for money or donations? Don’t troll please, look at the pics and you’ll know why the lighting is different!

This happens in Kuwait, just accept it. It has happened previously to a friend for not moving from the fast lane when bunch of guys in a truck were going at 160KM/H.

Your friend must’ve done something serious back for them to get mad enough to damage their OWN cars by ramming into him. Also technically it is the law to move over from the left lane if someone flashes you bc it is a PASSING lane not just a fast lane.

Something’s not right with his side of the story, 5 guys in a SUV vs 1 guy in a vette. I know things like this happen in Kuwait especially on the Gulf Road but there must be something the corvette guy did that pissed the hell out of those guys.

Ramming cars is usually done by VIP security guards, and they do come in fives and on SUV’s. The dude probably picked the wrong girl to be friends with at some point and this is his reward !

I’m living in the US right now been living here for two years do you know how many fights/arguments i have had in the US for two years ZERO. People here are much politer and nicer and i am so happy that i can actually SMILE.
In kuwait you have to wear a Perma-scowl you have to scowl, smiling or laughing is a sign of weakness to the Kuwaiti machismo shabab 3ala golat al gayel 3a6hom al 3ain al 7amra. We live in a male dominated machismo society where you have to rpove you’re a man. So i am not suprised that this happened at all. And yes i am Kuwaiti ba6n o thahar weld al Fai7a. Its the honest truth people no place in the world is perfect no society in perfect and this is one of kuwait’s shortcomings.

US is a big country, don’t count one state as for the rest of the country. For example, Cali is chill, on the other hand Miami has worst crimes I’ve ever seen in my life.

In the US the only way you’de get beat up is if you look for a fight and go to crap neighborhoods. In Kuwait the fight can come to you merely by looking at someone the wrong way or not backing down from a 5ezny wa5ezek situation.

It’s mostly an Arab style of life. In our Arab society if you were different in a way by sex or religion you would be looked down and insulted at. It’s sad but true, not only in Kuwait is it like this, but Saudi and other GCC countries. It’s pretty much how were raised :/

say that he did use a weapon n was able 2 bring all five of them down !! and then what is he afraid that they might put a case on him !? 5 guys ina SUV go n put a case on a guy that was chased n ramed into ? use what ever u can for self defence no matter what ! (advise) el lewar would b perfect

reminds me of the reason i started blogging:

https://iblooogle.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-most-recent-mishap.html

road rage on the 4th ring road. yes, it does happen. and to any who think well he was doing this that madri shino, im sure none of it would result in violence.

some people are just terminally roided out, or just need an excuse to do something, a look can spark a fight here in kuwait.

luckily, the thug i ran into had a voice of reason, but its not always common.

Dont ever carry a weapon that can cause death or serious injury.It will get you in more trouble.Kuwait is not that dangerous. Its just some of them guys have serious ego problem.
Like Gavin said the moment your attacker touch you beat the living sh*t out of the first guy you can lay ur hands on. It will scare the others and will remember it before he starts another fight again.
Go to a Police station and file a case.They can track down your attackers, Kuwait have cameras in gas stations & Parking Lots.
And for Self Defence go learn some Martial arts, it will help you control and act under situations like this.

PS: If the guys look like Nathan Jones(Troy), Ignore the fighting part….just run

I believe anything is possible in Kuwait after the stories I hear and the things i see! Where did this take place exactly? I am not a person who likes to fight :p but when it does happen we should stand our grounds.

For self-defense why has no one recommended the fire extinguisher that lies in the car unused. Thats a great weapon of choice against 5 people as you spray and if they don’t want to run away after that – Wack on the head and it does work.

FYI just make sure to have your fire extinguisher checked regularly

I’m trying really hard to think of a reason why he didn’t floor it… I mean i know this is isn’t Fast Five, but he should’ve at least used common sense to try and get away, turn into last minute exits, brake so you end up behind them, etc… Plus, it’s a perfectly valid excuse to drive like an absolute maniac!

Though if i (or any other person that watches too many movies) had a corvette and was placed in that situation…

I can believe that if the story had the Elements of fights in Kuwait :

– girl
– money
– road rage / eyebollling

But it has nothing of that ! Gas station , attck, hollywood chasing ! Beating up the shit of u !!! Cause of no reason ! Cause u have a better car ?

Give me a break.

Bullshit…. Pls Mark u are making me feel ur story very thrilling like ur dandoosh experience but in reality it crap :(…

I can’t believe people are eating this troll vomit up. Come on it’s obvious this is BS. Some guy on the internet makes up a really dumb story for fun and forwards mark random photos of a crashed corvette without any form of ID or anything. Do the pics show a license plate? run the plates and find out his info. That looks like a major crash into a barrier, not another car’s ramming but there isn’t even a need for this bc this whole story is pure horse-shit.

The sarcastic way he writes is as if he’s making fun of the reader’s intelligence, like he’s talking to a small child. FFS “an orgasm to the pedal” you gotta be shitting me LOL. The guy who sent this is laughing hard at how desperately gullible and hungry for gossip people are in this country. Reading all those serious replies made even me LOL hard.

The driver’s info is irrelevant! I’m sure you wouldn’t want people to know that you got beat up by random guys, why would he expose himself after all the public humiliation he suffered?
You notice there are foot prints on the hood right? And a smashed windshield right? A barrier did that? Someone was up there.

If this happened to you, would you not report it to the police or would you just STFU and try to cover it up bc ur… embarrassed? by what? just that idea is absurd. And if he was trying to keep himself anonymous in fear of them striking again, giving permission to post this story on one of the biggest blogs in kuwait is not exactly the thing to do when you want to be hidden LMAO. The crazy guys will just see a photo of his car and recognize who it is…fail.

Actually, you CAN’T cover something like this up even if you tried bc (besides explaining ur car) this is Kuwait, it’s tiny and everyone knows everyone and everything that happens almost esp when u report it to the blabbering police. They will just gossip between friends and release it to Al watan or Arab times which will gobble it up for their hilarious crime sections. Come on, use some common sense, it’s not hard. It was either a pure troll or a GREAT exaggeration.

And finally, there doesn’t need to be a solid reason or a gain from posting dumb and unbelievable stories. This is the internet, people post stupid and crazy shit ALL THE TIME for no obvious reasons other than trolling or as sick jokes etc.

.

bullshit,

if there is any truth to it then there is something more to it, caught dating his sis ? stole his drugs ? you pissed him off and i mean real bad

but sounds made up,

1, they were out of the car when you noticed them in the parking lot
2, you got a head start
3, they could have not rammed you, because you would have been way gone, if your going to say traffic then another car must have been hit
4, your a corvette driver speed and skill are a must to drive this thing, heavy weaving and you will lose 90% of the cars on kuwaits street.

by the look of the pic looks like he was weaving and hit an suv with the left panel, since most of the damage is to the left side the rear right wheel is damaged by a curb since the body around it seems intact.

Guys the guy didn’t email me to post this. He emailed me to post asking about pepper spray and tasers. I asked him if I could post this, he refused until I told him I would keep him anonymous.

I see a lot of trolling element is the story.
The pictures are probably taken from an accident.
And I know the people here wouldn’t do such shit, crashing,ramming and bumping their car on another car, shno? y3ni Fast and Furious?
The jumping part might be right, happened to me a few times, but still the story is bullshit.
Dark Parking Lot. Seriously, bro? In Kuwait?
And if it did happen, no one saw it? No one contacted the police and the 5 guys just got away that easily? Y3ni, if they did ram the corvette, the SUV would be totally damaged as well.
This is either a hater hating on Kuwait or just a troll waiting to be fed with your anger.

What do you mean “Dark Parking Lot. Seriously, bro? In Kuwait?” We use electricity in Kuwait, don’t we? And sometimes we get blackouts so.. it happens everywhere.

They didn’t get away. And yes I mentioned earlier that the SUV was wrecked too. And the police came but after the guy took a serious load of kicking.

Not in my area we don’t. We only had one blackout in the past 5 years. And, seriously, dark parking lot? It can’t be that dark, bro.

Well, to me, the whole story sounds bogus, one guy got rammed by a bunch of Kuwaities for no reason and then get beaten to pulp.
To me it sounds more like hating or discriminating on Kuwaities, making them look like a bunch of barbaric maniacs.
Plus if they were drunk, drunken people don’t chase you, they are ‘drunk’, its hard enough to drive when you’re drunk, let alone ramming and chasing you.

Well just because it didn’t happen in your area for the past 5 years doesn’t mean it won’t happen to other areas. Plus, I don’t think how the lighting in the parking lot would change anything.

And I don’t see anything in his story that discriminates or points to any ethnicity or religion so.. The “guys” could be from anywhere

Well then I could assume that the guys were Bangladeshis? Muscular Bangladeshis.

Man, I am on one side, you’re on the other. The thing is, it’s kinda straight of hollywood action movies.
And it’s hard for me to digest the story given. It might be because of my assumation that everyone is a civilised individual. This kind of thing is kinda out of my book.

Kuwaities are not the only people that hit the gyms 🙂

And I’m glad that I’m not on your side, you should go out more often.

I just never seen such thing happened in front of me.
And if it did happen, the guy must’ve done something to inflict the others rage. Done something that would really pulls the pin out of the grenade. And then, you can’t fully blame it on the guys.
Except the 5 guys jumping on 1 guy, I’ve seen and been to something worse.

I believe you think too highly of people, which is nice. A little naive but nice.
Sadly not all people need to be aggravated to reach the point of kicking the shit out of someone.
There are some people out there who are just assholes, and they think there is nothing wrong with getting into a fight with someone over some pathetic thing like a parking spot, or in this case – a girl

As someone pointed out earlier, I could see this happening if the driver of the corvette looked at the other guys funny. Half of kuwaiti guys i know are like ticking time-bombs waiting to go off. Its hard to tell what state of mind the guys in the suv were in. But a lot of kuwaitis are on steroid/testosterone/GH for the gym. Add that to some drugs/alcohol , then you’re gonna get some crazy results. As far as getting beat up and no body interfering, that happens more often than most people think. The police here unfortunately are non-existent and are never around when you need one. And of course, the response time is measured in hours. I remember calling 911 once in the states and within 5 minutes there were like 3 patrols and a sheriff.

Beating the guy up for nothing makes sense and does happen, smashing his car with bats or something i can understand. But playing real-life GTA and messing up their OWN car just to fuck a random guy up on the street for no reason makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER.
Also the way wrote it was an obvious troll, just read it out loud ffs and see if you don’t laugh.

Hmm.. Is there a wonder no one helped him when all this was happening..?

People are doubting the story here, the onlookers wouldn’t have been any different from what people are doing here. It’s sad..

i find the story really lame … whether it is real or not … even kinda deserved it driving a douche bag corvette .. JUST KIDDING bout the car part 😛

That’s the thing the guy coulda seriously deserved it. I’ve only once in my life went to go see someone to hurt him and he deserved it, he didn’t even remember what he did wrong because he was such a shithead.

exaclty, if u see a fight like this break out infront of you, how do you know if the guy being beaten to a pulp actually deserves it or not? he could be a scumbag and could deserve more than just a few punches. so stay out of it is better, unless u have a gun haha, then u can control the situation till cops arrive. the cops will probably shoot you when they get there tho, so u stil lose haha

legal or not…u kidding?? i see five bulls running at me u better believe im gonna put them to sleep one by one if i had a weapon on me

I live in the area, the parking lot referred to is near Kababji where the football stadium is located and is somehow dark at this end and pretty empty at night. My question why go to the park, he could have stayed on Damascus road as there is always traffic. |BTW the only gym in this area is Oxygen where I go and train and none of the dude out there are trouble makers as far as I know.

i want to say something that i saw the whole story , it was real. BTW the SUV was Patrol with corvette engine that’s why they caught him

as they say, picture tells a thousand words..

by the looks of it, the attackers are really pissed off otherwise they’re really high on booze or drugs..

there’s no normal person having in the right mind would do that kind of road rage..

for now, let’s just leave all the investigation to the police if it had reached them already, otherwise all of us can only assume and guess..

shit happens.. and this is one of it.. :/

After Mark’s Update3, I feel much safer.

Lesson to all with GFs:
1. Ensure her ex is not a retard
2. If he is, then don’t take her around in your car else your Corvette will resemble a vegetable

Maybe they got the dude mixed up with someone else who owns the same car, probably thought that he was the guy who’s dating their sis, cousin or ex… shoot! Adailia? That’s where I go to college. I thought it was pretty safe.

This is bullshit. “family/honors matter” is NO FUCKING EXCUSE to hurt a person no matter what they did. And all the people who stood by watching this injustice happen will be punished for not standing in the fact of this crime. I hope all 5 of those ASSHOLES get locked in prison for a LONG LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

you say the people who stood by will be punished? how so? if you are a bystander then you do not have all the facts, you do not know who does or doesnt deserve to have this done to them. plus what if you interfere and the guys doing the beating are actually crazy, and they decide that you should join mr. corvette and get an ass kicking yourself lol

Punished by karma probably! The next time someone decides to beat the crap out of them for no-reason, no-one will stand up and help them!
I don’t care what the reason is, if a fight is breaking out, and there is a huge group of bystanders – they should try to interfere and break it up. Not get involved in the fight but just pull the people off.
If you’re the only witness to a fight maybe just call the cops and let the people know you’ve done so – usually they’ll run away, and if they decide to turn around and beat the crap out of you – hey you’re a good samaritan!

Legal or not? man if five guys came to attack me I’d run.. and if they still catch up with me I’ll get the first weapon i find be it any think and make sure I bust open one guys head so that the rest of them run away.

self defence is legal everywhere in the world.

in the Map i see a police station. wondering why the guy didn’t decide to stop there.

plus the parking lot looks pretty close to the police station. how come they didn’t show up on time…

this story should be names SLOWFIVE… you have lame slow corvette or chargers who couldnt get the guy in an SUV :o…wtf.

Ig this story is true… i Wonder if the cops caught the thugs… the SUV was doing a GTA on the streets… the Kuwaiti Cops can’t be that lame…

C’monnnn

I’m impressed. I took the story at face value – however, many of you out there were rightfully skeptical! Thumbs up for BS detectors

Man just stay at home with ur family etc… or go to the chalet and relax or find an outdoor hobby, a lot of messed up people boys and girls on the street, and traffic everywhere wtf … I used to live abroad since I was a kid and when I got back didn’t understand the guys problem in kuwait so used to get into fights guys reasons blocking the road to give her the number wotnot so u have to ram him to make way in the road …I never started fights because I am big guy naturally I never throw the 1st punch … Just incase he only wanted to talk 🙂 so what I learnt is instead of fixing these people I don’t know how they are brought up …. I decided to ignore them and be away from them far away as possible … No matter how many bones you break in them they still come back after there fixed. So motorcross, bahrain track days, shooting, fishing etc… Are nice hobbies 😉

morale of the story is:

1- Ask if her parents are conservative.
1- Ask if she has any conservative brothers.
2- Ask if she had a psychopathic low esteem ex.

I think in this case you’ll end up with ” zawaj makhafir” — police station wedding LOL.

Why is everyone acting as if the story is 100% false?
Yes it’s a bit skeptical considering we watch things like that in the movies only, doesn’t mean they never occur in Kuwait.
I mean i can choose either side, it could be real, it could be a lie.

If it’s real how come it wasn’t reported on the newspaper? Surely some of the witnesses would love to feed the story for their 15 minutes of fame. Why is the left side of the car rammed the most? You’d think he’d be driving on the fast line? And through out this whole journey there wasn’t on traffic light lol? I think he’d be screwed if he caught a red light.

But the story may be true, and to the people complaining about SUV’s not being able to catch up with corvettes, oh they can. Plus who’s to say they were on a highway the whole time? What if there were speed bumps or turns in the process? An SUV can tank a bump full power no problem, but a corvette would have certain consequences i believe so it’d have to slow down the pace.
And also when (IF) youre being chased by 5 people in an SUV, i don’t think you’d be thinking properly. I certainly wouldn’t be thinking “Drive to a police station, get their license plate number, Call the police station”. Only one thought would be going through my mind, and it’ll be GET THE F*CK away.

All in all, i wouldn’t be so quick to believe it or deny it, i’d wait until atleast the media eat up this story if it’s true.

So what’s so special about this girl that a guy (and his 4 friends) would go through all this trouble over her?

After reading the 3rd update, all i can say is, it serves them right =)
he should feel lucky that they were this “lenient” with him

LOL kel hatha 3ashan wa7da, agool OP if you’re reading this there is a place called Dubai where you can have all the girls u want trouble free i suggest u go there next time u want a chick.

Ok, now that I have read the second part of the story I am starting to get the feelings that it parts of it are fabricated. I liked the comment posted above by “PFunk”. As I was reading it I too felt like the guy was just making things up as he went along. He must’ve enjoyed reading our comments and maybe that gave him some ideas on how to further develop the story to generate even more gossip. All of a sudden his “girlfriend” appears in the picture? Guess what people “…they beat her up too!” in such a nonchalant tone. Didn’t he say in the beginning that he felt so “alone” ? Why didn’t he mention her before instead of making us speculate.
I also find it hard to believe that people just stood there gawking at the situation mercilessly without offering any help.

Are you kidding? In Kuwait if people see an incident happen they would not bother doing anything, they just stop and stare.

Not really. I guess it depends on the situation and people around. Usually if one person tries to help everyone else joins with him. That first person who helps must have balls to break up a fight of 5 people lol.

@author of the story

GAL3ETEK ma7ad galek et’3azel, testahel kel ely 9ar feek wenshallah azyad. Ely mayester 3ala banaat alnaas Allah mayaster 3alay.

So…Should anything bad happen to you after this, I hope someone tells you it’s your fault for being so darn preachy.

I’ll be as preachy as i can thank you, this is a muslim country (article 2 of the Q8ty constitution) and in a muslim country if you are flirting with girls accept the fact that you will get beaten up, threatened arrested or whatever.

Don’t play the victim saying that you did nothing to provoke YOU DID! Personally i was 100% behind the author before the 3rd update read me earlier 2 posts but now, he played with fire and he got burned he has nothing to moan about.

I personally am not against flirting you can do it all you want but in Kuwait accept the fact that if you flirt with a kuwaiti girl (especially one with lots of family members/ex boyfriends) don’t cry and ask about self defense weapons when you get beat up!!

Oh and thats why he didn’t call the police incase anyone was wondering he had his girlfriend and i am sure she didn’t want to explain here numerous romances in a ma5far infront of her family.

(@ Mark i notice my posts take along time to be accepted, why? You just won a case relating to freedom of speech please respect other ppls freedoms and opinions, thanx).

He didn’t get hurt for flirting with girls, he got hurt because some douchebag thinks he’s entitled to a certain girl. Difference.

“and in a muslim country if you are flirting with girls accept the fact that you will get beaten up, threatened arrested or whatever. ”

But he didn’t get arrested. Unless you’re part of law enforcement, you have zero right to beat someone up for what you think is wrong when they’re not hurting you. THAT’S the issue. Don’t kid yourself these guys are defenders of justice…They’re still wrong, no matter how wrong you think the poster was. In a Muslim country we still have people responsible for reinforcing the laws, vigilante actions are not acceptable.

(Also, you may want to read the little note when you post and at the bottom of the page…This isn’t a public website and therefore there’s no freedom of speech.)

Ahaaa, now i think the story’s fake. Just read the updates.
First he comments he was alone, now he has a girlfriend?
He says they were guys he’s never met but suddenly turns out the driver is his gf’s ex boyfriend?? You’d think she’d point out “oh yah, i used to date that dude”

Update 3…. I thought so… my answer is stop taking girls out with you if you can’t handle it….

“اللي يقعد يم الحداد يستحمل شراره”

good luck with your case..

you needed to get medieval on them . Ever hear of a baseball bat? . Anyway serves you right for having a girl Friend in the first place . Ever heard of Honor and Marriage . Be a Man get a wife.

Every problem like this , almost always has a girl in it! GRATS U GOT OWNED BY A JEALOUS BF AND A SLUTTY GIRL MAYBE ?;D

By the way . far more worse shit than this happens in kuwait but u never hear about , ive seen couple of stories about such things happen in front of me ;D

Welcome to kuwait people !

What I find funny is his comment about people just staring and nothing happened. I’m not so sure about the public getting involvled but some one must have called the cops. I mean come on the Police station was what only a block away? You’d think by the time they were done chasing and beating up the guy the cops would have shown up and I dont care what car you are driving those souped up cruisers would be on them like white on rice. This is Kuwait when was the last time we actually had a high speed chase followed by an actual getaway??

I bet you the guy knew the guys in the SUV were connected to the girl in his car . Even willing to bet he knew it was the ex..probably fliiped him the bird and thought he could get away considering that he was in the corvette and they in the SUV. Never expected them to catch up to him and got caught with his pants down, got beaten up and fed a knuckle sandwich with humble pie for desert. Was definetely humilated and tried to save face by writing to Mark with his cock and bull story hoping that if he got the word out first in his way he would be able to save face some how.. Must be he thought all of Mark’s readerr are retards and would believe him or may be he banked on it hopefully sounding true enough if Mark put it up on his blog.

I have no trouble believing the part of the story where he says people just let it go on. Judging by the responses here, I get the feeling many of you are laboring under the delusion that everything happens for a good reason and if someone is getting beat up, he must deserve it, right?

i didn’t want to comment until the 3rd update which tells almost everything.
i feel sorry how nobody helped,, even if it was a family matter ppl should have interrupted that.
Allah yaster 3alaina

carry a gun with you, wont be easy finding one, but really helpful. you can put 5 guys in a immobalized state, or put them to sleep which is its your choice, since its an act of self defence, and lawyers only cost 500-1.5grand for the case, and might do it free if they can get a certain percentage!

the only charges against you will be being with that girl (if u can make her run away from the scene it would be better), and the second charge would be carrying an unregistered firearm (which can be nicely confiscated and given a fine). My best friend is a lawyer and we have these stories daily during our lunch breaks at work 😉

stay safe, carry a gun (fourty fours or barettas if you can, small and effective).

Daniel, a 44 is definitely effective (in stopping an SUV) but small? hell go long and get a colt 45 desert eagle…with explosive bunker busting shield ripping rounds

So they’d charge you with possession of an unregistered firearm, but they wouldn’t penalize you for shooting people with it? Is this real life? I find this a little hard to believe. How sure are you of this information? Maybe you meant tranquilizer gun or something.

Wow i see this subject is a hit.

My advice would be, forget self defence weapons, you have to have the balls to use them, you can get a gun, but if you are not goign to use it, you might as well shove it up your rear yourself…guns are a stupid solution, cause once you fire at a person, you are in a world that is hard to get a grasp of, you can easily kill if you only meant to injure, and the line between attempted murder, murder, and self defense is very very thin.

stun guns are also stupid for multiple assailants, and if a guy is bent on kicking your ass he can nullify the effect by jumping on you, that way both of you get stunned.

pepper spray is the breakfast of champions, Mace is what you want, but in the skirmish you might hit yourself with it, and that would give the attacker a field day. (experienced mace once, and it was not pretty, practice practice practice)

when you drive a vette, you need to know how to drive it, kinda like knowing how to aim and shoot a gun.

but now that i read the story with all the updates i can say, you gotta know what that girl’s history is about, there are really stupid guys out there, and dumber girls that would be willing to put you in a shit situation to spite their exs…if that was the case you should have noticed from the beginning and the girl should have told you at the gas station that these guys were trouble…if she didn’t means she was possibly planning to spite the guy, and underestimated his piss offedness.

what surprises me though is the amount of damage dome to the car, the side wings are plastic, so those are easy, but to break a wheel in that way requires a helluva lot of force, the guys in the SUV must have been considering killing the guy, girl or both to go that far in crashing into such a small and low car.

if you are ever in such a situation, wait until all the guys are out of the car, lock your doors and windows, do not try to reason, once they are at a distance, start to drive away very slowly, and if they run after you, then you do the easy thing, drive through them at low speed, this way you break a few legs and arms, then speed away to a police station, but without driving clumsily, try to maintain calm and rational thinking, even if you are being chased. remember the chasee is always in control and has the uper hand in evasive maneuvers, use your brakes intelligently to your benefit…don’t do the above with a corvette the car is too fragile to handle the slightest of rams.

oh, and next time, be more choosy with the girls…

I heard the ex and the girl was actually engaged.
and she never told the guy in the Corvette.

takes out popcorn…

I don’t get why guys always attack the guy when their GF/wife are cheating on them.
Kill the girl. problem solved. Poor guy probably didn’t know a thing.

This is not the hood. This is just an excessively wealthy country governed by a ridiculously lax legal system and populated with too many young retards. If this guy worked hard for his money, he’d think twice about wrecking his SUV. If there were serious legal ramifications such as a lengthy prison sentence, he’d think even harder. You can’t get yourself to do these things unless you held the law in very low regard, perhaps justifiably so. Although to be fair, the guy may be an otherwise respectable law abiding citizen who lost his ability to reason in a moment of blind rage, which can happen to the best of us I suppose. But damn.

I have a hard time believing that in between following him, repeatedly ramming his car and then beating him up, that the guy merely lost his temper for a moment. That kind of thing takes some thought.

why are 5 buffed up guys driving around town all squeezed into one SUV?

corvette dude got owned. u take a girl out in a corvette u should at least learn how to drive that car in case of emergencies. we all watch movies we all know shit like this could happen to any of us.

plan, always plan for when stuff like this goes down. no need for preaching like ¨dont go out with girls and this wont happen to you¨ no we are not in a FarFarAway and preaching like that will not help, so save it dudes.

be prepared. i like the smith and wesson baton idea lol

Who’s being preachy, if you can’t handle climbing mountains don’t go to Mt Everest, if you can’t handle jealous family member/ex-boyfriends/fiancées then don’t go out with a Kuwaiti girl. Its as simple as that. Oh and no self defense weapon (except maybe a gun) will be useful when you’re outnumbered 5-1. This is kuwait its not the law here its who you know and how many you know this is whats is all about. Ana o o5oy thed weld3amy and so on. People forget but Kuwait at its core is still a very tribal and male dominated society.

“People forget but Kuwait at its core is still a very tribal and male dominated society.”

And that isn’t a good thing, which is why we shouldn’t be embracing it or shrugging and going, That’s just the way it is.

Off-course we shouldn’t be embracing it or be ambivalent about it, but this is the Arab kinship system which is ingrained in our culture and traditions.

Plus Arab culture like other cultures has its pros and its cons, like Arab hospitality and generosity (a pro). By the way we are attempting to move away from Tribalism or at least our government wants us to, illegalizing tirbal election in Bedouin areas and all the cheesy Kuwait Tajma3ona ads. But the truth of the matter is, it’ll take years to wipe out this essential part of our cultural heritage.

Sorry for going out of subject here, but at a deep philisophical level this is why the author of the email got beaten up and this is why if you can’t handle a Kuwaiti girl then don’t bother, its more trouble than its worth.

First of all, he gave an “orgasm to the gas pedal”. That’s why they wanted to beat him up…he’s a pervert! Lmao. But seriously , get a baseball bat. That will take care of up to 5 guys easily. But if you defend yourself then you loose most of your right to compensation in court. I know, I’ve been there.

Well if you were man enough you’d go to the guy face to face, man to man, and settle it. Not ambush him with 4 other guys! But I guess you’re not a man, that’s why the girl left you in the first place.

Wow this is really a shocking story but for the record i’m not shocked as i have heard alot of stories regarding this matter … And is always related to personal issues like for example maybe these guys wear sent by someone who wants to hurt him or anything….

One time in the parking lot of the bank I used to work in, there was a Porche 2011 who was trying to hit on me when I came out of my car and I didn’t give him any chance and went straight to the bank as I heard him yelling “DO YOU WANT ME TO CRASH YOUR CAR!! COME TAKE MY NUMBER OR ELESE” I mean for gods sack I’m not interested… Hours later when my shift is over I came to my car and checked on it, the loser aired out all my tires and I couldn’t drive the rims were touching the ground!!!! And he didn’t put his number or ELESE I would sue him…..

Ahhh nothing like flirting Q8ty style, u were lucky he didn’t throw a brick through your front wondows with his number ties in on it.

If the story is real, where is your girlfriend story here you got a girl with no relation with you what do expect I like if you see me with you SISTER what would you think about it I don’t care if you will say anything about her thing with what I’ve just said

Its hypoctitical to go out with a kuwaiti girl and then not allow your sister to have her romantic flings. 7alaal 3alayk 7aram 3alayha?

You Deserve that.
What the hell is happening.
I Was with My girl friend.
You think your in west.
if i were you i wouldn’t talk about this to anyone.
Your talking proudly(I WAS WITH MY GF).
Like this is something normal.
You deserve that and she deserve it too.

The way i see it is this all might be a true incident, Kwait is really gotten wierd in that way lel asaf. But…

1. Its his GF so he doesnt wanna involve police, makhfar, ta7qeeq etc. you people know how Tabboo this is..

2. Dude thinks its really cool, what happened to him. 7arakaat akshen (EyES Rolling)

3. As a result, he gets more nookie from his GF out of sympathy.

4. Prob gets “BaaBaa” to get him a new ride.

5. He’s a glory seeker

P.S. For all who wants one, I saw Taser’s being sold in the Animal Market (Souq el 7amaam) last Friday…Frigin TzzZZZzzzzZ and all ! Dunno about price though..

LOL…on dropping his “girl” to a parking lot

RMAOL…on beating his car, him, and the girl…

u date a girl…u go to her house ask her parents and thats it…unfortunately we are in k-town…luckily the story goes to the public now and u got all the bloody comments…lol

another typical love story#kuwaitasusual

For all you people who think, that an SUV CANNOT outrun a corvette…. GROW THE HELL UP OR WAKE THE HELL UP.

do u expect the driver of the corvette to drive at full speed on a crowded road OR a parking lot??

Irrespective of what the personal reason is, it doesnt give the right to people to behave in such an uncivilized and indecent manner. Jeezzz!!! These things happen almost every other day, i dnt know wht the deal is with all these guys acting like pricks…. to prove “MANHOOD” or masculinity?? LOOOLL… Hmm i wonder where the etiquettes disappeared or what these people have been taught!!

k the gf/bf story is bs, no mindless fktard in kwt would attack some1 4 tht trust me i used 2 sit with the most fking retards in this nation who go in and out of fights, jail, and hospitals lol. i know its now 3 yrs since the, blog but if u want weapons 4 self defense u are the guy who is insecure about urself and/or look 4 fights trust me i used 2 carry weapons cuz i was like tht ^^, but if u need a weapon, hit the gym learn a martial art this is where all the fktards in kwt go 2 learn how 2 fight better 4 brawls, u used 2 b able 2 buy weapons any where, but now u can only go 2 any sport shop get a wooden or metal baseball bat and keep it in ur car, if u feel the need, btw when police catch u with it u better have the baseball gloves and balls or they will think u are trouble so aka u are nxt 6 months in prison. me i still carry a ninja chain in my car but only 4 fun never used it and not planning 2 use it….. XD

You guys forgot the main point!!!!!
