How to get a free gym membership/Dealing with Punk @$$ kids!
There were these 2 young punks at the gym trying to talk to the women, in between looking at themselves in the mirror and doing their 3 rep sets with horrible form. You could tell that the women were not impressed , and just wanted the guys to leave them alone. I figured they were grown women and could tell these punks to leave them alone. So I continued my beast mode. Then this guy with Downs Syndrome comes in and takes the bench next to me. He warms up and now has 2 plates on each side, which he is throwing around like it's just the bar with very strict form. Now I can hear these punks snickering and making fun of this guy calling him all kinds of names. As long as they were just talking, I wasn't getting involved. When they went up to the guy and asked what he was doing here and telling him he wasn't welcome. Now it's time for me to get involved. I tell these punks that they need to just go back to the mirror and leave everybody alone. They start yelling and trying to make a scene. I'm calm at this point and just turn to walk away and just get an employee. That's when I get hit in the back of the head. I don't remember the fight until I have one of the guys in a choke hold and the other is on the floor twitching. I feel a hand on my shoulder and its one of the cops that uses this gym. He didn't see when the fight started, he just walked in and sees the aftermath. So now I'm in cuffs in the back of a cop car even though members are telling him the same story of what happened. Things didn't get sorted out until the owner comes in and pulls up the camera footage. Come to find out these punks have been complained about before and because the assistant manager of this gym is the father of one of them, nothing has been done. Now I have a free membership and the assistant manager has been fired.

I applaud you brother. Too bad you cant remember putting the first one down.
omg lost, about 2 months back or so I damb near posted the same story. I train in a university town with many young guys at my gym and 3 of these guys started in on our member with downs. I was fortunate enough to beat the shit out of these young guys with my mind. I did have a few of my training partners standing strong with me along with a handful mortal members tho. the instigator and his right hand butt buddy haven't been seen since, the 3rd guy you could tell immediately he was ashamed of what he was going along with and has since made a change within himself for the better, even seen him help our guy with a few lifts. it's a sad state of affairs when people find humor in bullying the mentally challenged and this ole Marine will NEVER idly stand by. I was pleased with the outcome and that it didn't resort to violence, however if it had played out their aggression would have been meet with a painful lesson. thank you for fighting for those who can't fight for themselves.
Thank you for your service.
SEMPER FI, from a civilian
Violence is never the answer, except when it is, and you know you can kick ass. That's what I tell my 5 year old anyway, I'm a lover not a fighter lol
Good for you, someone has to stand up for those who can't.
I'm not sure he wouldn't have been able to toss those punks around though. Lol. I haven't been in a fight in at least 10 years and even then I was being robbed at knife point.
I've never been in a fight, shocked? lol
I think there is a special place in hell for people who mock the mentally challenged.
We have a fella with downs syndrome at our gym as well, he don't bother nobody, if any of the young jackasses ever bothers him they will meet the same fate as them boys that decided to test you.. Good on you..
I stay to myself, Hit the iron and leave. I might check out a butt or two while I'm there. But I'm there to put in work then get some grub. I have a nephew that has downs, so when they started messing with this guy it hit close to my heart. I wasn't worried about these guys while they were harassing the women. I didn't think I really did anything to provoke them, at least not to get attacked in the gym on camera.
I mind my own business and not get involved; Nothing ever good comes out of trying to be a savior for the little people of the world except a hassle. it's the Italian way in my part of the world. Unless its your job as a cop you should just let nature take it's course.
AnonKinda seems like a shitty mantra, IMO. Everyone is a "little person" to someone bigger and more successful, just matters how far up you are on the food chain. The world could use more good-hearted people. What if you saw a woman being hit or touched inappropriately by another man? Would your feelings be the same?
thats different. If some guy in a gym wants to throw his dick around let him. I also have a down syndrome guy in our gym and everyone leaves him alone. If someone laid a hand on him then its on like donkey kong. But to call someone names is so fkn childish that to get involved puts you on the same level.
Rofl. Now THAT is gangster. Lostlifter is OG.
Good deal Bro I cant stand ass holes at the gym I do everything I can in my garage but there is shit I need to go to my gym for. But good for you! Always get involved when shit goes off the rail
aylmejorThat sounds like a win for everyone. No more assholes and free gym! Good stuff
Sounds like something was done, but maybe not to your satisfaction or as far as law enforcement. You can always make a complaint to the police and they have to take it. There is evidence in this case and the DA's office would probably take it since there is video. What are you looking to have happen?
Also, glad you stood up for the right thing.
I meant nothing had been done about the other complaints. I'm more than satisfied the way things worked out with me and yes charges were pressed by me and the owner. I even left with 2 phone numbers from the women that were being bothered by these punks.
Got ya. Crazy situation. Glad it worked out, but too bad it happened.
