Instant Justice Can Really Sting

This was sent to me. Probably quite a bit embellished, but hilarious nonetheless...

"FROM AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD"

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2009-05-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives.

You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.

The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ...isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ...after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what's going on with that?

Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.

The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ...but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime.

I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.

Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

P.S. Remember this motto ...An armed society makes for a more civil society!

LOL. This story is most likely bulls*t after the gun is pulled. But really, what part about the gun owner's actions after he sent the mugger away can be described as civil? More like childish retribution. A real man pulls the gun and retains the perp while the cops are called. And a real man does not brag his heroism to whatever Gun Nut weekly this Penthouse letter was sent to.
I can only hope that this is true :))

The man who pulled the gun turns out to be a bigger criminal than the man who pulled the knife. And Tyler Nixon thinks the actions of the man who pulled the gun are commendable.

Again, no sense of humor from the left.

So true, anonymous.

Dana - do you always do to others what you cry hysterically about when you think someone has done it to you?

As you would surely respond, were you on the receiving end of this remark of yours (that makes you a patent hypocrite, in addition to a humorless dolt) :

'Prove where I ever "commended" this person. You are lying!!'

I almost wrote in the post "This guy sure cut his own swath of criminality". But I accepted the whole thing as humorous fantasy and let it be. But of course, leave it to the professor to turn humor into a phony potshot...

"I almost wrote in the post "This guy sure cut his own swath of criminality"."

Bullcrap, Tyler. If you had been joking, you wouldn't have written this which YOU BELIEVE: "Remember this motto ...An armed society makes for a more civil society!"

Now admit it. You do believe that quaint little motto, don't you?

You are not fooling me.

That last one has to be one of Dana Garrett's more ridiculous comments ever. Truly asinine.

As Dana himself would respond to such a comment as his last :

"PROOF? You're making things up. I have never said I believe such a thing. You're a liar!"

For the record, I don't even believe there is such a thing as an "armed society".

It bespeaks his woeful AND purposeful lack of understanding that Dana Garrett would think that I, as a libertarian, would conflate the presence (or not) of any number of "armed" individuals into some ethereal notion of an armed (or unarmed) "society".

Seriously, Dana, you should find better avenues project your collectivist mentality than such trivialities as a purely amusing verbatim re-posting of an outlandish craig's list ad.

Obviously Dana can't take a joke...

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba
