One of the worst fights of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Joelski]

Bill: You did what you had to do to preserve not only your well being, but that of your wife. This tweeker was spoiling for a fight, or just to intimidate another innocent person, and he got served. My philosophy has always been "Don't fuck with me, I fuck back". Sounds like we are kindred spirits. What the fuck is wrong with society when the public tolerates these billy badass polesmokers and lets them get away with their intimidation bullshit?

Every day, I thank God for those that provide safety for me and my friends and family; be it soldiers, cops, firefighters or EMS personnel. That guy got everything he asked for; you just delivered it. Count me in as a back-slapping whatthefuckever that non-reading fuckstick Gyver said. Get some rest, heal up and be safe.

[Cleveland Metal]

Yeah, not sure I'd wanna fight a dude that big. I tangled with a 300 pound 6'5" instructor in academy and he twisted me up quite well during Redman training. Not much I could do to him at all. Took my beating till I could draw my duty weapon and shoot him. Although we can't exactly pound anyone's face bloody there, I don't think I would have been able to!

I'd probably ended drilling three into his COM. Sad thing is I'd have to get my ass beat for a bit to be able to articulate use of lethal force on him...

What a mess...

[phill_up]

You may have done him a favor horns. maybe he wont be so stupid next time. the next guy may make him eat lead.

Just got through reading all this, Bill. I'm also behind you 100%. People who haven't been in this situation & think you could've just flipped a switch & started easing up don't understand. Hope you didn't do anything to make your neck injury any worse, and I hope Val is OK. I'm sure it shook her up pretty bad. Take care, and all the best!

[Cygnus X1]

I was in the middle of something else...I just read six pages.

I'm stunned.
Glad you came out on top of this, Bill.
And damned glad for all the service you gave that got you here in the first place.
That twat will have some tall tale for his excuse of a fugged up head...but the truth is a half-broken man that goes on what he knows...did a great job once again!

Cheers, Bill.
Get well soon!

[Cleveland Metal]

"Vinnie, I killed a guy getting this Xbox... I hope you're happy..."

Hehe...

[Ben...]

Does Vinny know? You don't wanna ruin the surprise of what you got him for Christmas unless you guys say in advance what you got.

[fr0sty]

Sorry to hear about this Bill. Hope you can relax a bit and not keep letting this person actions keep running through your head.

No matter if what you did was justified or went too far, I don't feel bad for this guy. He stirred up a hornets nest. When you do that, sometimes they sting the fuck out of you...

Just curious, what has your wife said about it since it happened?

[nhspike]

The thing I worry about is him spotting you again and getting the jump on you.

+1,000 on that

Keep your head on a broke-neck swivel brother Bill.

[lerxstcat]

So let me get this straight..

he said 'stop' and you 'presumed' that meant 'go'??

So do you do that with women as well?? coz thats how rapists jusitfy their sick actions as well.

You beat a guy half to death and no-one thinks you've done nothing wrong?!!?! All your 'online' buddies come onlien and say 'aww there there, he was obviusly asking for it'

I'm not saying this guy wasnt fucked up or in the wrong for driving like a lunatic, but fuck me...

This place makes me sick sometimes, if you;ve got any sense of morals left, phone your 'buddies' down the station and hand yourself in and find a better fucking therapist, coz being in therapty myself i know full well that that many sessions over that many years has done shit for your anger and you need to find someone who actually knows what their doing.

Im fucking stunned by this thread. Perhaps its the fact Im from the UK but im fucking disgusted.

In fact so disgusted I'd like a mod to delete my account please.

last thread by me.

Keep your bullshit ass kissing, back slapping two faced bollcks.

You realize this guy fucking attacked Bill and came close to taking him down, right?

When a gakked-up giant methhead attacks you and you barely manage to get the upper hand, you don't stop just because he says - that's likely a ruse. You keep hitting him until you're sure he CAN'T strike back, especially when your tiny 90-lb wife is also in danger. You have no fucking clue and I'm talking to you assuming that you're just ignorant and not the stone asshole you seem here. Get a fucking clue!

Bill, Christ man, I'm fucking shaking reading your account man! I know you don't cotton to this but to me, I thank God you're okay. What a fucking asshole that prick was!

You're allowed to carry, aren't you? Could you not have drawn on him and told him to stand down as an officer? I mean I know you're retired, but still....

As far as I'm concerned, you should be able to shoot the fucker in the head 4 or 5 times and assert the "He needed killing" defense! Animals like that make this world a lot worse place.

The thing I worry about is him spotting you again and getting the jump on you. That's why I say that if you can, maybe you should start carrying.

Fuck, this is pissing me off the more I think about it! I'm glad you were able to fuck that motherfucker up, Bill! I hope your finger heals right and you don't have to deal with a lowlife piece of shit like that again!

Edit: and i believe thats the "good samaritan" law or something.

Cliff, I believe the good samaritan law is in place to protect you if you DO decide to help someone and wind up doing more harm than good.

[Davey]

Bill, your comments about this whole thing have me laughing in stitches... i should stop, cos people are starting to scream at me, cos they want to sleep (it's 1am here)

back to the ju-jitsu thing, same with kung-fu, aikido, karate... sparring with a high level of knowledge in any martial art is incredible. both to watch and participate. when it comes to bar/street fights, they're mostly useless, because for the majority of the time you'll have to fight dirty when the shit hits the fan. what it DOES, it prepares you for the fight, prepares you to react the right way and not get disoriented when they land a punch on you.. oh and knowing how to kick and punch with minimal damage to you is also useful .. and where to punch :P ok, so they're not THAT useless hehehe. havent been in a fight in an ass long time .. and dont intend to get into any

[horns666]

Ben are you sure your'e only 16..you are wise beyond your years. I wasn't this mature until...ummm..I may have to wait a couple more years for that one.

[horns666]

Just sayin'... Putting the boot to someone can turn a simple assault into assault/intent to injure.

youre former LEO, so im sure you knew that. My g/f's family is full of LEOs. They tell some of the craziest fight stories all the time.

Edit: and i believe thats the "good samaritan" law or something.

Gotcha..I sound like Sarah Palin. I still like her. Yes, I hit him twice..and gave him a purple nurple, a noogie, indian burn and a wet willy. Oh that last one sounds gay..

Bill, stop with the gay...

[missionguitars1]

You are so much the man it ain't even funny...wanna come over and take care of the asswipe I got up the hill when you get better? :ROTF:

Never quite been in a situation like that, but man, WTF??? Tweeker?

And why is it most guys I see driving that car all strike me as the same kind of guy?

You're aces in my book, fight the good fight and get better soon!
