As I was walking into the thug McDonalds in downtown Ft. Lauderdale, this black kid blew cigarette smoke in my face. At first, I didn't think anything of it, then I was like, that's ****in' rude, and I stared at him all the way into the store. I had half a mind to walk out and confront him, but I reminded myself that going to jail for assault and battery over one puff of smoke isn't a good trade. I went to the bathroom, and on my way out, the kid came in so I said something.
"You always blow smoke in people's faces, punk."
"I didn't try to."
"Next time, try apologizing."
As I went to get my food, he takes his shirt off and walks out the store saying something like, "I don't need to take this ****."
Stupid, stupid, stupid. I know damn well there are thugs all over the place at this corner, though for the life of me, I don't know why.
He goes and says something to another guy, and then another, and the next thing I know, the three of them walk into the store, the biggest guy (who was all fat), is saying I called his "little brother" a nigger and startin' ****.
I don't bother to stand. I know that standing will escalate the situation, and I'm in a bad spot with no way out and not much room to move.
I'm like, "The hell I did, I told him to apologize for blowin' smoke in my face." The kid is standing there grinning, like I'm gonna get a beat down, though I figure I can take two of them, even if my martial arts are a little rusty.
At this point, the staff is just staring, and the managers come from behind the counter . . . and stand there. They do nothing. they say nothing.
Fat boy says I'm lucky he don't spill my guts. And still the silence from the management. They aren't even calling the police.
I say, "I called him 'a punk,'" which of course means something different in thug vernacluar (it means someone who takes it up the ass). He chews his lip for a second, sees that he's not scaring me, slaps my Cubs cap and walks out agains saying something about me calling his little brother a nigger, at which point I say,
"My wife's black. I don't use that language."
They stand outside for another ten fifteen minutes, while the Micky Dee's management still does nothing. So I'm stuck at the store for about an hour and a half until I'm sure they're gone. I saw one of them slinking around across the street about a half hour after they'd disappeared, and the two girls that were with them kept popping back in at irregular intervals.

Just to le you in on the score, I was assaulted (threatened), assaulted with a deadly weapon (threatened with being disemboweled, i.e. having my gut cut open), and battered (he hit my cap). Management did nothing.
As for why a thug area? Well, this is just a weird spot in downtown FtL. I think it's because it next to the central terminal for the buses, which I was taking back from a job interview. I was hot and hungry and really thirsity, so I thought I stop in the air conditioning and drink some soda 'till I was cool enough to ride my bike home.
I think maybe I copped an attitude cause I was really confident. I've been all but officially offered a job in Boca Raton (i.e., the owner says he wants to hire me but I should think about it-since he can't pay me what I want salarywise--but it's got full medical!). I spent the whole morning pumping my confidence up, and was in no mood to take any ****.

man, I can't say it was stupid because it was the right thing to do, but in practice maybe it was a little bit stupid. But when push comes to shove, you did the right thing and not flip out or show any emotion of being afraid when the big boy came to you, because I'm absolutely confident if you would have flinched, they would have assaulted you. That's how PUNK mind works. They don't fight the fair fights. As you noticed, the guy who confronted you in the first place had to send someone else to take care of business, he would have joined the beatings when it was safe for him to do so, ie you being down. That's the mindset of all these PUNKS. It has nothing to do with balls. You see what you did required balls. What they did, assault or not, did not require any at all. That's the most important thing when being hassled and played by potential attackers, to not show any fear. They won't feel sorry, they feel 'easy target', and they go for the easy ones. This is scientifically proved fact.
So yeah.. but in the future, I would try to control emotions if I were you and facing thugs. You never know.. so better stay cool.. but if push comes to shove, FAFU (First Action Force Use) rule applies to the maximum. I'm glad nothing happened though.
And as for the McDonalds managment... *shakes head*... what a bunch of pussies. They let that happen inside of their business, I don't care if some burger flipper doesn't do anything, it's not like he must love his job, but managment, even if they don't like their jobs either and are not getting paid that much more than the flippers.. it's their duty and if they don't have the balls to step in, they have to call the cops, that's the absolute MINIMUM. They didn't, they let you be harrased inside of their place of business, that's unforgivable. I would take this up to them. Get some of them free burgers and ****.

Next time, throw the remainder of your soda in his face and say, "Who the **** are you? Do you know who the **** I am? **** you"
Err, I mean, well done. Your heart must have skipped a few beats here and there.
