My story is pretty cliched, at least at the start.
honeymoon trip to A few places in Europe. We are in Amsterdam, and wandering around the shopping alleys off Dam Square during the day. I had a pretty good sense of how the alleys tied into the surrounding streets. And the whole city seemed so cartoon-like and safe. I was living in DC, so I had US city senses, but for some reason Amsterdam seemed not dangerous.
Off course the other thing is that people spot you as a US tourist and offer to sell you hash. why anyone would buy hash off the street, I do not know when you can buy it at coffee shops and even a laundramat, but anyway because of this, people get close to you "want some hash" , and it didn't seem something to worry about.
that night wife and I go to Milkweg, and get tanked/stoned, and see I know that we should walk-no cab- back because we're young and in love, and in a beautiful foreign city......
then I see the entrance to one of the shopping alleys, Kalverstraat and I know it'll be a good shortcut and it was really fun that afternoon to be on the alley!
my street senses were on vacation because all of the shop windows had chain netting over them which means I wasn't in cartoon land of course.
we were almost through the alley when 4 teens came up to us... still no worries because these pleasant dutch youngsters probably only want to sell us hash. So they come up close "want some hash?" no thanks walk by, but they were really close. 1 grabbed me the other 3 strated hitting me. We were about 50 yards off the Dam square which I could see.
I heard 1 say "do you want a good fucking?" I thought they were tallking to my wife who wasn't being held. I told her to run to the square, but she knew they were talking to me. she started screaming and I thought "good idea" and started screaming. I remember the guys punching me in the mouth as I screamed. then suddenly from the square a cop showed and the 4 kids ran off.
good times!
