LL Cool J on the Reality of Fighting an Intruder

I've watched several interviews past few weeks with LL. I have a new profound RESPECT for him. He is very humble and wise. You can tell he didn't want to gloat about the situation but spoke of the trauma a situation like that put you through emotionally.

I had a home invasion a few years back. I had a baby and my family in the house. LL is right, it’s terrifying. I won, but it’s terrifying. The animal in me came out. I have been very alert even 7 years later.

It ain’t like ‘I outta’ it was like ‘I order’ 🫡 🤣

My bar used be broken into. It happened a few times. I hid in the darkness, waiting for them one night, with a makeshift spear. Luckely, I never used it, or put my self in that situation. It was a couple of men. A small one, that looked the dangerous one, and a bigger one, that was kind of just rolling his bike. I walked out with a flashlight, and asked them what they did in the aera. Im sure it was them that had been there before. I called the police shortly after that… Ive never seen the police show up that fast. They had even brought dogs. And they searched a wide area, but never found anything. But the breakins stopped. I asked myself later: why the hell did i put myself in that situation.

Good on LL for being honest and telling the truth

I knew this interviewer was a comedian. Looking for the punchline as opposed to letting L speak. Like damn, let him tell the story.

That conscious avoidance of glorification of violence itself or the cost to one's soul, is peak virtuous masculinity. The need for survival separated detangled from want of violence.

Still Can't believe he survived Mike Myers…

hit him with the Cool J ring.

Paying 50 -60K , or worse Taxes in Cali & having to wait over 20 minutes for Police is CRAZY .

Kinda looks like Eminem…

Had numerous home invasion attempts at our various apartments over the years. As he says, it's absolutely horrible. The first one was the worst for us, it hardens you a bit but also makes you incredibly wary. I couldn't sleep properly for years after, every noise I heard I was up looking out the windows. It didn't help that it happened multiple times. It's very hard to feel safe in your own home after that.

They should throw the full weight of the law at anyone who invades somebody else's home. It's one of the sickest and most invasive things you can do. It should not be trivialised or treated the same as petty theft. It's so much worse. It's evil.

Neal code switching is one of the funniest things ever to me.

Does anyone remember when an intruder broke into Brandon Lee's home?

"I handled it appropriately, I didnt handle it well" – Thats true life right there. One of the best qoutes of a human being. Much respect.

He'll take a muscle-bound man and put his face in the sand

Didn't the intruder ever listen to "Mama said Knock you out"? He didn't do his homework… Ding, ding shake and fries.

I appreciate his candor without any bravado. Thankful he was able to protect his family without suffering physical injury.

my man needs to chill in the sun….da fuck
NEAL has some of the stupidest questions sometimes
