Damn laws that will put you in prison for shooting dumb-asses.

 

Who is Wat, and why would he want to restrain me?

 

Wat's on second, Who's on third. I don't know wants to restrain you.

 

35 years ago, a business partner (like a brother) stole $100k from my account. It broke me for a while and the entire time I worked hard to survive, I plotted his execution. As time went by, I had accumulated many, many times more than he stole from me and I worked so hard I lost sight of my plan for his demise. Far to much to risk now just for some stolen money, but hurt my family.......that’s an instant death sentence.

 

If legal means were not available at the time, and he is still alive, it's time for him to pay you back.

 

I've always been a confident, capable man. Knowing this has been restraint enough to let petty wrongs slide. A big wrong deserves a proper, all out, well calculated and well planned response. With very few exceptions, those who screw me over have paid the proper, (and legal) price.

I caught the guy who stole my motorcycle in Daytona Beach. I grabbed the bike as he was riding it, lifted the back tire off the ground, picked him up, shoved him against the phone booth while calling the cops. He was arrested on the spot.

 

I work for a Family that Farms several thousand Acres. Over the years, I have seen them commit several acts of violence upon one another, always involving one of them that is addicted to Heroin.

When I was a young man back in about 1980 I beat up a bully, who deserved it. Although it felt good, it did not help my situation at the time. Quite the opposite.


Since working for this family, I have fantasized about fighting this addict many times but I realize that he would not be worth it. Everyone at work realizes he is a pathetic excuse for a human being.


In my opinion, one true way to judge a man is whether he is a master of his emotions. Men who can be baited into road rage incidents are no better than blubbering crying teenagers.


What make me superior to these family members who have gotten into fights with this addict? Maybe the fact that I went through Basic and Boot Camp while none of them are even Veterans. Maybe that I was brought up by a Father who knew very well how to communicate, and they don't.

Or perhaps its that they can't be fired and I can. I like to leave a job when I have another one, not before.

We have Prisons that are filled be people who can't restrain their emotions. I believe as a Father its one of the most important things you can teach your kids.

You can get mad, but it's more important to get even. It's great to forgive, but only if forgiveness is asked for in my opinion, otherwise it will just happen again.

 

This durn straitjacket and the padded room they have me in.

 

I've dealt with more than a few criminals in my life. During the course of conversation every single one of them said that, aside from the loss of freedom, the most difficult thing for them to adjust to was the constant noise.

I'm an extremely solitary person. Much as I love my old kan there are more days than not I am not ready for him to come home from work. He wants to talk about his day. I don't want to hurt his feelings but I LIKE QUIET. So many days he comes home and I've not left the house and haven't turned on the tv or the radio even.

He says he has no clue how I can deal with so much silence. I have no clue why he can't BE quiet. Lol Whatever I did that got me locked up would be nothing compared to the meltdown I'd have after a couple of days of 24/7 racket. Not worth it. Unless I could be in solitary -- in a soundproof room.

 

It's been my life experience so far that those truly worthy of taking an act of revenge upon ultimately forge a path to their own destruction.

Of course sometimes giving them a gentle nudge in that direction doesn't hurt either.

 

Law enforcement, gravity and lacking the power of invisibility pretty much keep me restrained.

 

My faith restrains me.

 

I'm not clever enough to exact storybook revenge. With cameras everywhere these days are you willing to be filmed? How goes your reputation in the community when smearing feces on your neighbor's car?

I think Paul's got it right. And just think, if his partner had waited he could've really scored.
Kind of reminds me. Lend some PITA $20 and poof! Magic time, you never see him again.

 

That is why my friend you leave no evidence behind.

Just FYI never use your own feces or that of an animal that can be traced back to you. It does contain residual DNA.

And doing that is just a childish act of revenge anyway.

Now planting a "mine field" of clay pigeons on top of coffee cans in area of property where certain dopers and sneak thieves were cutting across at night. .... Priceless.

But I've no clue as to who would have done such a thing.

 

Never make revenge type decisions while under the influence of alcohol.

They will always be wrong.

I predict that there be a time in the future when neither the law, religion, self restraint, or morality will enter into it.

 

Golden Rule mostly. Morality as well. Selfishness of wanting to live a peaceful, nice life.

The laws of this country and the consequences of those laws take a back seat to my own morality. The reason for that is because the laws of this country are often not moral and often neither are the people who make them or enforce them. As an example, there are a whole lot of infringements of "shall not be infringed", written into law. Those laws are immoral and so is anyone who creates or enforces them.

 

The usual. Straight jackets, hand cuffs, or just good ole fashion rope.

 

I'm not sure yet that dying to take them out is the best use of my life.

 

In my opinion, almost everyone takes life way too seriously. Myself, I find that karma is real and works even better than all the plotting and planing that I would have to do.

I see our existence as a physical extension of our spiritual self, and life is just an elaborate theme park. Ride the rides, enjoy yourself and if you like it (and follow the rules), you can come back and do it again.

 

1. providing for my family.... as they become more independent that constant becomes less significant.

There are things that happened in the past, that if happened today, would generate a different outcome. There are probably things in the future that will cause the id to break its chains and smash through the wall. I have no desire to dispense random violence, or undeserved revenge, I hope that remains once unbound.

If not I hope to meet a greater force that can.

 

Taxes..........

 

To put it simply, I do. Whatever it is that makes me, me.

Just my opinion.

 

Every time I watch 13 Hours, I get killing mad.
Every time.

Everything I need to know about Obama and Clinton, I learned watching that movie.
They let Americans die when they could have saved them.

God I hope they die badly of cancer.

 

That whole bloody affair gave me flashback's to what happened in '93 when the leg hound in chief shorted our personal on the ground in Mogadishu of requested support.

After what happened in Benghazi and that bitchs reaction to it upon being questioned is why I often refer to her as Revelation 17. She's a great power drunken whore with blood on her hands.

 

If it weren't for physics and law enforcement I'd be unstoppable!

 

I take that whole “Love thy neighbor,” thing pretty seriously.

 

mostly my health.

Otherwise I'd if taken the contracting offer and would probably be retired and up the Amazon or some such right now

 

a) Kudos for the A&C refs.. Good memories, seriously funny :taped:.. :thumb:

b) ..as-to the OP, for myself, primarily 'Biblically-based Moral Extrapolation' - Doing that 'math' to help you consider just how far the 'ripples from the rock you toss' (action you Choose to take..) will go, and/or Who they will effect (ie: IF I take vengeance - as I very well might be entitled-to, and even IF I feel '..well, God understands..' - but something goes awry with the plan? How will that effect those I sought to 'avenge'? Am I better able to care for my Family, In prison, or Out? etc, etc..

..Ultimately, tho, things Do have a way of working out.. I'm not so much a proponent of "karma", expressly (..although, I'll confess.. My karma Did run over yer dogma.. : as much as the Biblical 'whatever a Man is sowing, This he shall also reap' - Sooner or later, but..

..I Will also say that I fully believe that 'a Man who has nothing left to lose is the Most dangerous man in the world', and if I lost everything I fight daily To protect, I would not put it past myself to end up a 'martyr for others', ie: if I happened to be on one of those commercial flights where 'HRC' was observed traveling on? Well.. Cannot say if I had 'nothing to lose', that I'd not choose '20 yrs to Life' over 'restraint', in such a situation.. Heck, I've got So so much reading to catch up on, anyway... :

...I also think we can All 'think this stuff thru' - now - and, whence the heat of the moment arrives, our 'internal rule book' may Very well end up tossed, ie: I Ever observe someone attempting to harm - in Any way - my Family? (ie: I think of that guy who Caught some DB trying to look up his daughter's skirt at a Walmart (?) or whatever? Yeah, can't make ya any 'restraint promises', then, Nope.. All bets are off, and I'll - probably - end up getting all that 'reading time'..

..and That's Italian...

Restrained by decency and common sense most times. They occasionally are overwhelmed by righteousness.
