as for asking them b4 kicking their ass, when i went up to him the bitch is like "what r u gonna do?" in a bad attitude way, i didn't even say anything, first impulse was right in the face, hit him as hard as i could, he didn't get back for 1 minute or fuck, you touch my stuff and ur as good as a dead man (or a severly beaten up one at best)
Jpol,
I'm going to have have to go with the kid on this one. Not because what he did was right, but I would have done the same thing.
This is a fantasist who concocted a story for some sort of cheap kudos on the interweb. Or if you choose to believe him, someone who actually behaved in that manner.
"i don't give a fuck, cuz i broke his nose, jaw, and leg. what a pussy, ironic thing: i'm only 16,"
It is interesting that this adrenalin filled 16 year old semi-literate chose to highlight the irony of the situation.
If you are willing to beat others violently, risking permanent damage or death to either them or you. Not because they are physically threatening you or yours. Not as an act of self defence. But because they stole some DVDs from your house, when you weren't in it. Then said "what are you going to do about it". Then you are worse than him, because you should know better.
The telling part in your post is that you identified the comment "what are you going to do about it" as a pivotal moment. That is when the violence was inevitable. Could such a reaction be any more reminiscent of the schoolyard. I don't see how it could.
As I have said, if he went into his house when they were there, uninvited. Or had they attacked him, then that is a different story. One is entirely right to defend one's self.
Is health and life so cheap to you. It is to be hoped that when the nose and jaw were being broken no brain damage occurred. [/b][/quote]
You say that like a person that's never been a victim of theft. I've had over £4,000 worth of stuff stolen (in total) from me over the last ten years, on three occasions. After your loss has been discovered, you feel a range of emotions from violation of privacy to absolute rage and futility. If I could have got my hands on the people who stole from me on these occasions I don't think I would have thought much about beating the crap out of them - it would have just happened in a blinding fit of rage.
Why the hell should anybody have to put up with their hard earned property being stolen? The police do nothing about it, even if you know who the thieves are, and on the rare occasions these burglars are caught and prosecuted, they're given trivial fines that they don't pay anyway, and no jail time. Where's the justice in that? A good sound thrashing might not do any good, but it sure as shit is going to make you feel better if you're the one dishing it out.
