I was stabbed 16 times

[gwud]

So I'm on day two in hospital from being stabbed early on Saturday morning. I've been stabbed 16 times across my body including my neck, chest, head, arms, leg and six times in my back.

I'm going to be in hospital for another couple of days as I've got an infection in the wounds on my neck and ear.

The two people are in custody as my friend identified the one that stabbed me.

Holy shit man. Take this fucker for all he's got in court, if you can.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Holy shit man! Dude, heal quickly. I'll be sending good thoughts your way.

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

Holy shit. I wish you a speedy recovery process.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you. that's terrible. I hope you feel better soon.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Well ... on the bright side ... we know know that 16 stab wounds won't kill you. You can rest assured that you're one tough guy.

(Trying to put a positive spin on this)

Holy shit! I've known a few people who have been assaulted, but nothing like this. Good to hear they caught the bastards. Bes strong, and just think about how good it will feel to testify against them in court. Quick healing to you!

Holy shit man. Take this fucker for all he's got in court, if you can.

I'm guessing that the petty thieves have nothing to take. Except their freedom, which hopefully will happen.

 

[All Seeing Eye]

Erm, should they not be charged with attempted murder? I think stabbing someone that many times is clear evidence they were trying to kill.

I hope you get batter I really do but on another note, it wasn't your van, why the hell did you get involved? especially not knowing if they were carrying weapons, there are people in this country carrying guns!!!! you could have ended up with a bullet in your head over someone elses van that probably had nothing in it.

I think that's what "with intent" means.

 

[Miss Chicken]

What a terrible thing to happen to you. I hope that you make a full recovery both physically and emotionally.

I also hope that the courts give the men concerned some serious prison time.

Do they have victim of crimes payments in Britain? If they are available apply for what you are entitled to.

 

[Cali]

I hope you have a speedy recovery.

 

[sidious618]

I'm terribly sad to hear that. Best of luck in your recovery, mate!

 

[Deranged Nasat]

How terrible! That was you? I read that story already, I'm saddened to realize it was a fellow poster. You have my hopes for a quick recovery.

 

[Emher]

Damn! Glad to hear you're okay man. Hope the bastards get put away for a long time.

 

[TheBrew]

Jesus Christ on a Pogostick! Glad that they never fulfilled their intentions.

 

[Plecostomus]

Trying to one-up Squiggy?

Seriously, glad you're ok. ONE stab is enough for me I can't imagine 16. yikes...

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

Excuse me? It's unfortunate what happened to the TS, but the fact that he stood up is evidence of his character and personality. I can only hope that I would do the same in such a situation. You, however, know beforehand you would simply stand by and do nothing, simply because you're afraid?

 

[Shazam!]

Holy shit, that's awesome!

Well, obviously it isn't, but being stabbed 16 times and surviving? You're like a superhero to me.

 

[Angry Angel]

Seriously, that's absolutely horrendous to go through. Hope you and your friend get through this all right and that they give the one's responsible what they deserve.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Get well soon!
