Life Ten years ago i wouldnt have given it a 2nd thought. - Page 2

MOhillbilly · 02-11-2009, 11:25 AM

what has happened to me? have i grown old and soft?
my boss tells me yesterday that someone was in my truck. weve played this game here at work before being located next to a brown derby we get lots of drunks and riff raff types. so i think ya right he is pulling my leg.
upon further inspection i see there is a person in my truck.
i walk out to where the vehicle is parked and theres a drunk layin in the floor board and he has a pack of Ron JOn cards my mother gave me in one hand and my change in the other.
i never hesitate, i punch the guy in the nose breaking it, as his head comes back up i grab him by the jacket and throw him across the parkin lot and he lands face first breaking a few teeth out. as he is spiting teeth and trying to get up i kick him, at that point my boss yells and i stop.
at the time i didnt feel bad cause i was pissed, i hate liars and thieves,but as i reflected on it later i couldnt help but think he didnt deserve to have his face punched in over acouple bucks in change and a deck of cards.
i didnt press charges but he ended up pissing the cops off and they hauled him off anyway.

I hate vagrants, **** them...Get a job or throw yourselves of a bridge. Smelly bastards.

Granted (for you bleeding hearts) some of them have just fallen on rough times and can't find work but guys like this one deserved what he got.
90% are drunks or drug addicts, trust me I deal with them as part of my job quite often.

i see no problem, and wouldn't lose sleep. drunk or sober, he should know not to steal. got what he deserved, IMO. of course i have a low tolerence of drunks, i can't stand the slurred speach, or their inability to comprehend anything. i'm all for going out and having some beers, and even the occasional sloshing, but if you're drunk enough to pass out in somebody's truck while you're robbing them, you deserve to have your face ran accross a cheese grater.

the ones that have fallen on hard times will probably work their way out of it, and aren't the ones breaking into cars to steal pocket change.

You haven't gotten old and soft. It's the Obamaffect.

Brock · 02-11-2009, 11:51 AM

you've become a kinder, gentler headstomper.

**Iowanian** · 02-11-2009, 11:52 AM

I think we all gain perspective with age.

I think you did was a natural reaction. You work hard to get what you have and you have the right to protect it and get pissed off when someone tries to take it.

I think its also natural as we age that we see things differently. I know I feel guilty about a kid I beat up in Jr high over $5 taken from my wallet, and another in High school that stole clothes from me. Looking back, I didn't have much at the time, either myself or my parents had worked hard for that, and I reacted...somewhat savagely. Looking back, both of those kids probably needed it worse than I did(the stuff, not the beating).

I think you should call it even.

I'll bet if you think about it....there is some caveman instinct that feels good today, that you can still defend your cave.

rambleonthruthefog · 02-11-2009, 11:54 AM

someone passed out in YOUR vehicle stealing YOUR stuff equals azz whippin' everytime. no need to feel guilty.

Demonpenz · 02-11-2009, 11:54 AM

broke into the wrong persons vehicle.

Frazod · 02-11-2009, 11:57 AM

You did the right thing as far as I'm concerned. Nice work.

InChiefsHeaven · 02-11-2009, 11:58 AM

I would have called the cops myself, but that's just me. I mean, unless the dude is a threat to you, IMO no need to lay down the beating. But, you are in your rights to do so. Myself personally, I don't get physical unless I or someone else is in danger. If the dude was passed out, I'd have just called the cops. If he was up and active, then I could see smacking him around to at least keep him there until the cops show up.

Demonpenz · 02-11-2009, 12:01 PM

Sometimes you use it or you loose it. If you get what you want in life by being a hardass, nothing wrong with alittle brush up on smashing heads if it is within reason

**bogey** · 02-11-2009, 12:03 PM

I commend you for your courage. I also commend you for having a conscience. I would have flashed mad myself and likely reacted the same way. However, since I'm Ollie Stewart sized, I would have likely gotten my ass wooped. You know what I mean.
