Today, someone was getting beat up by 6 guys. When I tried to help, they had a swing at me as well. The cops came when I was enthusiastically defending myself. They got away, I got arrested. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got bailed out of jail. I was there because I saw a girl being hit by her boyfriend. I rushed over to help only to have her hit me repeatedly. The cops came and she blamed her bruises on me. The boyfriend corroborated her story. FML
Today, I saw a woman being mugged. I ran up to help and pushed the guy off of her. She then punched me in the face and called the cops because she was, "just living out a fantasy" and I'm, "a lunatic for trying to help." FML
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML
Today, I'm recovering from being pepper-sprayed, beat with a baton and Tased, and arrested for assault. I'm a bouncer and was trying to remove a drunk asshole from the bar when the police showed up. FML
Today, I was not yet wearing my bouncer uniform when a fight broke out at a club. I intervened, only to have the cops who showed up tase me because they thought I was part of it. FML
Today, I got questioned by the police. Last night I was at a party when a bully of a kid who happened to be an aspiring MMA coach and local fighter was picking on me, stole my alcohol and threw me out of the party. I heard he got stabbed by someone else he was picking on after I left. The police insist it was me. FML
Today, my friend was waiting outside the store while I bought a newspaper. Through the window, I saw two guys getting physical with him, so I went outside and they took off. I muttered, "Yeah, I thought so." They then turned around and beat the crap out of us. FML
Today, I was brutally tackled and detained by a group of people until the police arrived, because I fit the description of a wanted criminal who was featured on the news. This isn't the first time this has happened, and no style change I've tried has been able to avert it. FML
Today, I decided to be responsible and call a cab to take my drunk ass home from the bar. As I climbed into the cab, I was quickly pulled back out and had the shit beaten out of me by a group of drunk guys who thought they needed the ride more. The police soon arrived and arrested us all. FML
Today, a customer at work became violent and started hitting me and my coworker. Not wanting him to get the shit beat out of us, I used a move that pinned the guy on the ground. The police came and he was arrested. I was then fired for assaulting a customer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sure the guy you were trying to help will speak for you.

I don't get it... first of all don't the police arrest everyone involved in the fight and then find out, when they have calmed down, what actually happened? (At least, I'd think that is the logical thing to do). Then, how did the other guys escaped? Also, please fill us out with the rest of the story - did you tell the police or not as to what actually happened? If not, YDI big time! Also, did the police release you? I am not sure why you were "enthusiastically" defending yourself? Sort of sounds as if you were enjoying yourself!

Some guys use that as an excuse to throw punches. (I didn't start the fight but I sure and hell ended it. etc...) Cops saw right through you. Don't bitch. You know why you were arrested.

that's wrong. when my mom worked at a jail she told me what happen to a guy that was in there. Someone broken into his house and the home owner pulled a guy on the guy braking in and called the cops. when the cops showed up they arrested the home owner and let the criminal go free.

I was going to say, 'What did he do,Pull Chuck Norris out of his pocket?' I was confused for a second on the 'pulled a guy' statement. My bad, carry on.

Right you are. You should always fight 6 guys at once as long as A) your name is Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Jason Statham, or James T. Kirk AND B) you're in a movie or on television. Luis, if you believe what you said then you're an idiot. If you don't, you're a troll. Either way I don't see you getting out of this one cleanly.

Yes, you got arrested and that really sucks, however you most likely will not get charged, that is if you defended yourself within the law. Sometimes good people go to jail, and that is because the police want to sort things out. As long as you can relay that they had the ability, opportunity and desire to cause bodily harm to you, you will probably be fine. In my state, Washington, our state code states that defending yourself is not unlawful "whenever used by a party about to be injured, or by another lawfully aiding him or her," and it also states the force cannot be more than what is necessary. I think throughout the western world these laws, although they differ slightly, are universal and that as long as you did not continue to attack when you were no longer in danger you are fine. Besides, it is our God given right to protect ourselves, and to go a step farther to protect another human being from harm is absolutely astounding as there are far too many people in the world who are just content to be a bystander. Good job op.
