Isn't it hard to shoot someone after they tackle you?

slang · 11-23-2003, 07:12 PM

Pends on where yer gun is. If someone is chasing me, it'd be in my hand.

What timing. I was in the neighborhood and heard your plea for assistence.

So......is there any other instances where your wife told someone to screw off.....and they did?

~~~~~dreamy music fades in~~~~~

we're on an airplane. from Ca to Pa.....5.5 hours in the plane. i had a woman who was a persistent seat rocker in front of me, and my wife wound up boiling over and pounding the back of her seat just as this lady was rocking back...BANG!... the seat was perfectly still for the remainder of the ride.

~~~~~dreamy music fades out~~~~~~

Golly, it's a good thing she didn't have a GUN.:p

jinx · 11-23-2003, 08:04 PM

It was an accident. I was miming what I would like to do, just as she decided to throw herself back. It did settle her ass down though.

Well, I guess I dont know you Bruce. I'm sure we've all been a pain in the ass to the public at large at one time or another, but I wouldnt expect someone like you (meaning someone with communication skills and manners) to be blatantly disrespectful to a group of strangers.

At the very least, I'd expect you would be somewhat receptive to a polite "say what your thinking".

If I said what I was thinking, most of the time, I wouldn't get my ass kicked, I'd just get weird looks. Most of the time my mind is far from what's actually going on. But I never miss a chance to tell someone that he or she is an asshat.

Along the lines of the original topic of this post: Has anyone ever been involved in a situation where the rude offender is someone actively looking for trouble? I'll give an example.

A friend of mine and her boyfriend were in a park in downtown Boston during new years eve. There were tons of people around but they were standing by the edge of a pond by themselves. A group of teenagers comes up behind them and one asks my friend and her boyfriend what there name's are. The kid seemed nice so they started talking but he suddenly asked them "So how about you give me your money?". He then put his hand in his pockets and pulled out part of a black object (it was dark out and they didn't know if it was a gun). My friend started crying and her boyfriend stood there frozen. The kid then just started laughing and pulled out the black object. It was a cell phone. He then said "That was fun, your both cool". He shoke my friend's boyfriends hand (he got a lot of shit later about that) and left.

What inspires people to activley seek out trouble with others minding their own business?

Hahahaha. Have him try that in Virginia. Mr. Glock 21 has a suitable response.

i'd have to say that i'm interested in this story as well, if you don't mind sharing, that is. is there an archive link for it? i have an interest in this kind of stuff. in the martial arts class i'm in we share stories of how people try and confront and force us into violence.

My guess is it's a power thing. They feel like they are exerting a controlling power over someone by scaring them, and they get a rush on that power. At the same time, it makes them appear stronger in front of their friends to treat someone that way wihout consequence... an "Alpha Male" thing.

Plus, they're shitheads.

If somebody ever did that to me, the guy would be wearing his own ass as a hat as soon as I saw the "weapon" was harmless. Even if his friends ganged up on me and kicked my ass when I was done, at least I would have the satisfaction of knowing I didn't let some guy make my woman cry without paying the consequences. But that's just me.

Hearing shit like that makes me want to get off my butt and get my concealed carry permit... I already have a highly carryable Glock 19. Make the kid piss his pants when he sees a real gun show up, and he probably wouldn't pull that stunt again.

(For the record, I know that waving a gun around is the solution to very, very few encounters).
