tennesseeboy Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 There's a story told of a town that was being bothered by a nasty biker gang in the mid sixties. A cop (who shall remain nameless.) put a shot in the back of one of the biker's heads. He said it was a warning shot. Another cop said.."how could you call that a warning?"...the shooter said..."It wasn't him I was warning!" Somehow the biker gang stopped coming to the town after that.

meazza Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Ah, so when you do it it's a joke but when someone else does it then it's because they're older and a smart ass. Got it. Yet another "youth" who takes himself far more seriously than the rest of the world ever could. Nice use of a question mark, froggy. 637763[/snapback] froggy? i'm italian you dumbshit
meazza Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 So this guy, a veteren who lives alone and takes pride in his property and his surroundings, should have to live with kids in his neighborhood DESTROYING the things he treasures because they think its stupid. He called the police many times to report his property was being damaged. Why was it being damaged, because he took pride in it and wanted it nice and other felt they had the right to destoy it. These kids (and parents) had the cops called on them to try and prevent them from doing this and yet they continued to show no respect for his property. Now the guy snaps and kills one of the snot nose punks and he's a monster. Screw that, treating people like sh-- can have consequences. Sometimes people can be pushed too far. If these kids or there parents would have put a stop to this, it never would have got this far. Flame away 637794[/snapback] really so he was doing the right thing? why not you know fire a !@#$ing warning shot. if some dude came up to me with a gun especially at that age you can be sure i wouldn't do it again. i didn't know it was punishable by death to walk on someones lawn.

The town where it happened is in my area. The n'papers of course won't talk ill of the dead, but there are some rumblings going on that this precious kid and his family were sneering wise*ss snots. Just rumors.

People blow things off that aren't important to them and often tacitly encourage it in their children. We live in a culture of selfishness and sometimes maliciousness. I have more than once seen it where trying to reason with someone just makes them act worse. Now this guy obviously went over the top, don't know why, but since the parents or the teen couldn't be relied on to just ACT RIGHT and have some respect for someone else's property - were it me, I'd have found a more subtle way to get my message across. You don't have any respect for something that's mine? I'll find something that you care about - and you'll never prove I did it, either. Sometimes being nice and rational gets one sh-- on.

Taking a shotgun and shooting the kid twice is murder and like i said before, if it were a member of my family, i'd get my revenge.
tennesseeboy Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 The guy will do a few years in prison as he should. The family will sue the guy and get all of his property and assets. The kid who was a wise ass is dead. See...everyone wins!

See...everyone wins! 637896[/snapback] the guy is 66 years old, he'll die before he even finishes his prison term. being a wise-ass doesn't justify murder, or else guys like AD or CTM would have been up for execution a long time ago.

A lot of murders occur because some idiot refuses to turn the godda*n music down (I know MY rights - screw yours) or lets his dog sh*t all over another guy's property and tells the owner to F-off when he complains.

Finding the family dog nailed to the front porch sends a pretty clear message.

Sometimes being nice and rational gets one sh-- on. 637888[/snapback] Thank you , this is exactly what I meant. I agree that shooting was over the top, but sometimes people are pushed beyond acting rational. Too many people think (and are taught by their parents) that they have no duty to show respect to anyone. This guy fought and probably watched friends die in the military protecting the rights of people back home to treat him like sh-- with no reprocusions. While I think the whole situation sucks, I would be lying if I didn't say, serves you you right you snot nose punk, and to the greiving parents, if you would have taught your son that this level of disrespect is unacceptable instead of condoning it, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened.

CajunBillsBacker Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Not saying the guy should have done what he did, but it seems this was one of those little teenage punks who didnt respect his neighbors property, and probably mouthed off to him.
Alaska Darin Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 froggy? i'm italian you dumbshit 637874[/snapback] Dude, you live in Montreal and whine like a school girl about there not being enough French Canadiens on the Olympic hockey team. Your lineage may be from the old country but using terms like "ciao" doesn't make you Italian anymore than me eating pasta twice a week my entire life.
cromagnum Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 When you call a canadian a frog what does that mean?
