1. Can you honestly say, sitting there you did NOTHING to provoke, escalate, or compound anything that occured?
Jackinthebox
Legally speaking, yes. But as I have already stated, I did in fact make a remark
No, offense Jack, but there you go. You're close enough to admitting you provoked them with that statement.
Yeah, I support you dude, because I think your an alright guy (from following your threads) and cool enough that I'd buy you a brew if you were in my
town. Besides I don't like to see people get unnecessarily bullied, & I always side with the underdog.
Nevertheless as a friend I'd point out that you made several bonehead moves. The first and the one I least see eye to eye with is you performed a
little vigilante action. Doesn't matter whether or not he deserved it - It was stupid & wrong. We have cops like Rcwj75 and the courts to deal with
that legally.
If your going to be a vigilante, be like Zorro be stealthy. Don't be stupid & gloat.
You admit to provoking the cops, as we all suspected. I don't give a rats behind if they were in the wrong - you knew the possibilities.
Then when you had the legal ability to counter a wrong you didn't file a claim in time, so you could have put them on notice and got some mental
revenge as well as financial compensation. At the very least you would have dragged them through their own system - which in itself is punishment
alone even if you lose in the end.
Yeah that's one thing many don't realize, being dragged through the system these days is punishment enough in itself, just because the system
believes it takes precedence above all else and cares not how much it disrupts our lives & destroys relationships both personal & professional, which
is why anyone it touches has lost by being there.
Thanks for being honest even at the risk of losing some credibility here. That takes guts and is a worthy trait, Jackinthebox.
Good day & good luck
Craig72 - get off his butt, and quit digging unnecessary holes over & over. You made your point clearly enough already enough is enough unless
you have something new to bash him about. We all exaggerate a bit from time to time. One shot poking at it is enough, over & over like a broken record
is unreasonable. You must like blood, it seems.
