PegNosePete Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Whatever helps you sleep at night, dude. I'd hold onto that list of prison books for a little while longer, though. You'll probably need it one day. You might have gotten away with it this time, but if you continue to act like this, it's just a matter of time.
TaraMaiden Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 You two puercos Calling somebody a 'pig' in Spanish, doesn't make you any nicer than calling people 'pigs' in English. Now you're just being disrespectful because you feel affronted that we keep pointing out your mistakes to you... are frickin party poopers man. Did it ever occur to you that I didn't ask for any of this, it just literally fell on my lap. You don't get it do you? Told you before. It's not what falls in your lap, it's what you do with it. And you messed up, big time.... So you two know I was in fact talking to my ex about my problem, something she was totally unaware of (none of them are, even if you told them trust me, they'd never believe it.) I was in fact readying myself for incarceration. I saved up so I could buy better chow at the cantina they have in there. I made a list of books I wanted to read while in there. Heck, I even tried to see if I could go to court sooner that way I could just quit my job on good terms, hurry up and just get my bit over with and get my job back when I got out so I didn't fall into the whole can't get a job cuz I have a record, have a record cuz I can't get a job routine. I accepted that my real love interest wasn't feeling me and had been reconsiling with my ex (nice to have something to go to right before and after you do your bit if you catch my drift). This paragraph is completely irrelevant and superfluous to your self-made problem. Frankly, none of the above is important. I'm oh so sorry that here in the good ol US of A you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. You'll find it's a system based on British law. And as you admitted your guilt here, you're admitting the offence and pleading guilty. In the justice system, there's this thing called due process. You guys know what that means ? It means you don't get punished for your actions until the facts are known. But we know the facts. You admitted to them, so you're guilty. If I had gone to court, it wouldn't take much to claim self defense. My victim was at least 60 to 80 lbs bigger than me (disparity of force). I made several attempts to evade him (duty to retreat). And last but not least, not only did he still try and attack me while clearly seeing I was armed (depraved indifference, which legally and morally justifies lethal force) but he still tried to clinch with me even after I whacked him several times ! The problem you have is that you landed the first blow, so it wasn't self defense, it was provocation. Which might help, but for the following reason, not much..... The first strike was right over his head. He wobbled a bit and I made the mistake of letting my guard down thinking I'd subdued him, but he literally went bonkers and charged at me ! All I can explain is he grabbed me and wouldn't let me go, no matter how many times I hit him, so I just kept on hitting him until he let me go. Your best bet would have been to have got in your car, when he 'wobbled' and cleared off, but you carried on. Big Mistake. In Law, even considering due process, you'd be fried.... If you just quit being a bunch of hoplophobic, self righteous pacifists and just comprehend that while violence is, in fact, never a good thing, some times it's justified. That's just how it is man. DEAL WITH IT ! Oh no, you misunderstand. I completely agree with you. Sometimes, it is. Just not in this case. You have no cause or justification whatsoever for what you did. Ergo, your argument cuts no ice. For what it's worth I did learn my lesson. You can't just be a total nice guy all the time, it's pretty futile nowadays, but you can't be a jerk either. Gotta assimilate both rather than go from one extreme to another. And that's what i do now. This girl wants to give me a chance finally ? That's cool, but I already outright told her that she got me in a twist once, she better not do it again. So you're giving her another chance? So is this you being a nice guy - or being a jerk? If she does that's cool if not, well let's just say I'll be a little more... cool and precise in my reactions rather than blindly furious. Ah, there you go. "Blindly Furious". Oblivious to the consequences of your actions, acting before thinking. See? After all if there's anything to learn from this all it's that being calmly precise is a lot wiser and practical than being reckless and belligerent, know what I mean fellas ? Yes, it's always easier to be wise after the event......
