I was at a campground working as a volunteer security guy on a memorial weekend. I saw a young boy going in and out of the Marina restaurant and bar area late at night. The third time I saw him he was drinking from a beer can. I approached him on the golf cart and asked him what he was drinking. he said just a beer , why?
He was only about 15 at the most. I asked him to dump it out and asked what site he was staying on and where his parents were. They were all in the bar of course! I rode down to their site and no one was there.
On the way back to the Marina I was approached by three men. Before I even got off the cart I was punched in the face, and thrown down, where the three of them kicked me in the stomach and punched my face.
My wife heard all the noise and came running down the path hollering for them to stop hitting me. Then the manager showed up pissed and ready to kick their asses. Broke it up and called the cops, they came and spoke with the people there and of course no one saw anything first hand.
I was taken by ambulance to the ER. A few broke ribs, a black swollen shut eye, and cuts and bruises. charges were filed against the Dad but later dropped as no one would admit to seeing him hit me.
Never worked security again after that encounter!
