Is my friend a coward and did he nearly get me killed?
We were waking home. These two guys were harrassing us talking garbage. He noticed one had a knife but didn’t say anything. I didn’t see any knife. Anyway, one of the guys kicked me in the back of the leg and I turned around and told him to FUCK right off or it would get ugly. The other guy asked what I said and I repeated it louder. Then, I turned around and kept walking. The guy slithered (I didn’t hear him) forward and held my one shoulder with his arm and pulled a knife near my throat. I managed to get my hand in the way of my jugular (so he couldn’t slit my throat) and then quickly the situation diffused. He asked how I felt now and I told him to go fuck himself. He walked off.
Still, this doesn’t seem good. Did my friend not say anything because he was scared? He said he thought I knew about the knife but I REALLY doubt that. I wouldn’t have challeneged and then turned my back on someone with an open knife.
So what’s going on?
What’s the deal?
I wasn’t trying to pick a fight (though I would have fought him anyway if he would’ve tried to assault me again when my back was turned, yet I still didn’t know there was any knife.) I thought once I told him to back off it would be done. Not to cower away, but because I thought the situation was over.
That’s why I turned my back, I mean.
Also I would have fought him had he tried ANYTHING more with his knife or movement after he paused with the knife. It was just that we both paused.
What you really should have done was called the police and report an attempted knifing. I’m more concern about the way you reacted to the guy rather than your friend. When someone pulls out a knife, you don’t make the situation worse by telling him to go do something to himself. This isn’t the movies - this is real life.

I think he was just incredibly startled and didn’t know what to say. I know if I saw someone with a knife, declaring you knew it was there would only get you attacked sooner. Though he didn’t use chivalry, you cannot blame him for being frightened. Most people aren’t as brave as you seem to be.
