I did a runner from that particular landlord when he stood in a doorway blocking my exit from the flat wielding an axe, I hit the guy so hard on the chin that he folded in on himself and just sort of crumpled, came back 2 days later with a friend and grabbed what we could quickly. This would have been exactly the time in-between the murder and his eventual arrest for that murder a couple months later.

I'd never really hit anyone like that before or since tbh it was a real situation of fear for life. I've been in fights but you're not really hitting someone with intent to do as much damage as humanly possible in fights, whereas when someone's blocking your exit from your 1 room flat with an axe you just sort of give it absolutely everything. I think about it sometimes and had it gone any differently I don't think I'd be here.

Sorry that happened to you but also I'm glad you get to have this amazing story. Better not be fake kitty-cri

Nah it's cool I barely remember it now, almost like it's another life I'm remembering lmao.

Got a phonecall from him after we grabbed my stuff going off about standing in my empty room, the neighbouring room had grassed me up and called him. We just missed him.

There was another time that he saw me out and about a couple weeks later we were drinking out in the streets like the punk rats we were but I was really into skating at the time and absolutely fit as fuck he had no chance catching me I was like Usain Bolt lmao.

Long time ago now. I haven't talked about this in a really long time too. I'd post news articles about this shithead and his murder but it would identify me so easily whereas none of this is enough to really dig it up I think.
