About a week and a half ago, Dateline had an episode about iPod thieves. Later than night, my best friend had his stolen. But unlike the situations on the television program, he was attacked. He was walking and these assholes hit him from behind and knocked him to the ground. Luckily, he is okay. What makes it worse is that a few months ago, he was held up at gunpoint near the Ottobar and had his cell phone stolen. I would feel so violated.

I need to take self-defense classes.
