Move around them. Call the cops and press charges. Since they didnt touch you it isnt battery and since it sounds like they treatened you with bodily harm and you had every belief they would do it you have the right to persue it legally. I probably would have spent the rest of the day wasting my time doing it but its the principle.

Not worth my time or trouble. Smile

You just move on happy to no longer be in the presence of such subhuman creatures.

+1 They have no legal right to deny you access to a public space. Call the Police, report that two men with guns are threatening you.

If there is one thing that the cops hate...its renta-cops.

It will be a PITA...but it might be worth it.

That would have been a lie. Four men were threatening me but at no point did I see a gun.

Actually I used to be a "rent-a-cop" and we got on quite well with both the APD and the local Feds.
These were not "rent-a-cops"....they were rent-a-thugs.
Very different creature.

Oh hell, I didn't feel like reading two pages of responses, so I didn't... My response is this.

I removed my cell phone from my pocket, I dial 911 and calmly state to the 911 operator my location, and that I am attempting to walk down a public sidewalk, and I am being accosted by these rather large individuals that are threatening me and not allowing me to pass, could she please send help to my location. Then I attempt to pass peacefully, if I am stopped, then I am stopped with force, and I am filing charges from my hospital bed as soon as I wake up.

Exactly. Wisely choose your battles, this isn't important enough to cause a ruckus over.
Oh. I might call out that " Dibby is a stinky pants and a bad lover" after I got by.
Or not.

There's your problem. Haven't you heard, Hydrashoks are old technology. These thugs are more informed than you think. They know Hydrashoks only penetrate 14" and expand to .69 caliber. If you'd been carrying the new HST +P, which penetrates 14.5" and expands to .70 caliber, they'd have shown you some respect indeed. Wink

Hey Homie, is that my briefcase?

Big Grin

In reality I'd call the police and let them sort it out.

Be annoyed, but probably just wait for a traffic break and go around the meatheads.

I don't think trained bodyguards are trained to let people with guns anywhere near them if they are trying to secure an area for the person they are protecting.

The "person"...if you can even refer to Poopooty as such....was not even there yet. Smile

They just decided to block the sidewalk in advance of Piddlyputz's arrival....cause he is like such a big celebrity and all. Roll Eyes

I'm with Wally on this one.

It just would have been the point of them blocking the side walk and refusing to let me pass.

Obviously you guys have never called the APD. Big Grin

If you plan to wait for them, a sleeping bag and a box lunch will come in handy.

This reminds me of a situation back in January when Elliot Spitzer's NYSP detail was trying to move him from a speaking venue back to his motorcade. I was talking on my cell phone in a hotel vestibule and they wanted me out, but not bad enough to actually ask me to leave or pick me up. I turned my back on them, so I probably did not seem to be to much of a threat. Not too long after that the jig was up and the rest is history. Big Grin

You did the sensible thing.

Though I'm sure it would have been fun to pull out a small flamethrower and have a gorilla roast.

Damn laws against killin'...such a PITA.

Depending on what I was doing at the time and if I had the time, I would have called the police.

Attitude has nothing to with it.

160 pounds of middleaged me versus at least 800 pounds of much younger them.

I cannot bull my way through them...and getting close enough to them to allow them to put their hands on me would be just plain stupid.

My only advantage is that I am armed and if I am denied use of my arms I am helpless.

Distance in this case equals safety...the last thing I want to do is wade into these nitwits and allow them to deny me the use of my weapons.

I understand where you're coming from, B. It's just...different in my case.

It's already been said, but I'll underscore the points:

1) Pick your battles carefully

2) Change that ammo to Speer GoldDots or the Winchester RangerT 230grain +P

3) Keep the turkles safe
