A Possible Self Defense Situation

[Markkus Mastropoalo]

Yesterday a strange man called me, and my friends over to ask us a question. The man kept asking us odd things, and we were very confused. Then he finally asked us if we had "any pot or pills on us" Then that's when a surge of  adrenaline rushed through my body. But I kept my cool. We told him we don't do that stuff, and he just looked at us. I examined his pockets with my eyes in a way that was not noticeable. And I noticed he had something in one. The theory that was in my mind was that It could possibly be a knife. So as he started talking to my friends again I got into a closed position so that I had the ability to snap side kick if he threatened us, and explode off of that (He was shorter than I, and his head was in perfect kicking distance). But I kept the position looking casual, and again kept my cool. He kept asking one of my friends strange things(This friend was also on edge for the man was asking him about his property). Some of my friends were amused; but it wasn't funny to me, and I was ready to defend myself and my friends. A man on drugs is unpredictable,and can care less about numbers. But we finally ended the conversation in a friendly manner and had a great night.

My friend kept talking to him so I felt that I had to be there for him. But trust me if it were just me I would say goodbye to the stranger in a heartbeat.

Markkus, Brett gave great advice.  Don't carry on a conversation with strange acting people.   I am glad you are safe.

Markkus, don't carry on conversations with strange acting people.  As soon as you and your friends noticed something was wrong with this individual you should of turned around and walked away, or if need be, run away.  Report it to the cops, it's their job to deal with weirdo's.  It's good that we have a Sifu that teaches us how to defend ourselves and our families against idiots like this, but remember, it's best to walk away without saying a word if you can.
