A car break-in in progress

On a lighter note: I was stalked by two, huge Hawaiian prison guards. Seems asking their friend to box at the gym, who I worked with, meant they had to go beat me up in a back alley. After a couple weeks of this, one of them jumped out, hit me with a hook in the jaw twice.
Me:
"Who the hell are you?"
Him:
"You got a good jaw."
Me:
"I know."

The idiot, who was rather large, about 6'2", and over 220, well over, tried to get to me, but, I was in top shape, and, he had a bad knee.:rolleyes:

I got away, called the cops. I described the guy:

Police sarge:
"I know exactly who that is, and, I'll take care of it."

Next day phone call, and considering I'd just moved, who could it be?

"Hi. I'm the guy hit you in the jaw. My uncle came over yesterday. He beat the **** out of me. He said if I didn't
apologize, he'd put me in my own prison. I'm sorry.

Hey, you pretty good. Will you train me?"

Here I made the biggest mistake I ever made in the islands. I said no.:rolleyes:
 
threegun,
Let me start off by saying, I hope that you and your loved ones are ok and that you can get your lives back to normal quickly. That is a very scary thing to have happen to you, something very hard to forget. I too once had my house broken into. I was not there but I still do not feel 100% safe here even after 6 years. I also had my car stolen out of the driveway with over 10,000 worth of stereo equipment inside. Still wouldnt have killed anyone had I caught them breaking in my car. My best friend was murdered in front of me 7 years ago. That is the reason why I got my CCW to protect and defend myself, my family, and my home.. Not to defend my Panasonic CD player or my Nikes.
 
Getting hard to distinguish the cockroaches.....

I would set up in that parking lot with a baseball bat and my gun, wearing a ski mask of course. I would wait for them to break into a car then I would beat them both to a bloody pulp, grab my baseball bat and leave.

Judge, jury, and executioner all in one.
What is worse the disease or the cure?
 
and the quandary continues....

cuts to flesh are deep and painful. If they bleed out two blocks away...tough. I have no feelings of remorse or regret about destroying the scum of society. Even if I were to be imprisioned for my actions I would feel good

getting hard to figure out where the scum begins and ends as well.
 
Maybe I can help you "figure it out" Colt.

The difference is that one of them is a predator. They prey on the innocent, steal and destroy at their whim, and care nothing about the harm, trauma, suffering, and pain that they cause the INNOCENT.

The other in this eqation wants the PREDATOR taken down, and stopped from continuing their lifestyle, which literally ruins the lifestyle of the INNOCENT.

Not being able to tell the difference between the two is exactly what is wrong with our court systems. It is the reason that criminals are released after a short time, and returned to society to continue degrading it. Not being able to tell the difference is also exactly why legislators want to take guns away afrom everyone, not just criminals.

predator
n 1: any animal that lives by preying on other animal [syn: marauder, vulture]

Ok, but which one? The BG or bobthewelder or both?

I learned that when you degenerate to the level of the perp you become no better than them, thus indistinguishable.

Which were you describing? The BG or vigilante? Quite hard to tell!
 
This one took a weird turn didn't it?

We went from knowing laws to vigilante-ism. The morality of carrying is a pretty fuzzy area, everyone's values are different. Some will kill to protect their big screens, some won't and believe life is the only thing worth killing for (is that an oxymoron??).

The thing about confronting someone while committing a burglary is that you never know what's going on in their heads. They could be ruthless killers who'd rather kill you and everyone on the scene than go back to jail OR they could be track stars who intend to run at the slightest hint of confrontation.

If a crime doesn't carry the death penalty what right do we have to give that sentence? I don't think we do. If that crime escalates to physical violence upon being confronted we're talking assault or God knows what.

Ultimately, all morality aside, know the laws of your state and plan your own actions accordingly. Any other advice from others about stuff like this is pretty useless because of the differing values and perceived morality issues discussed here.

Sometimes I wonder how many CHL holders could actually draw their weapons in self defense for fear of the law or what's "right".
