And here's what it says (for when the ad gets flagged, deleted, etc etc..) -(BTW, gotta love the very last line) ;)





To the Thug Latino Guy With the Dumb Looking Mustache Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Miami night before last:
 
I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
 
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.
 
First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually  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 "Mami" 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 Vagabond, 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 shag numbers from your cell phone. The phone company 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 and the kind of  that you put other people through every day.
 
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 a civil society!

That's a load of hogwash....

The last line is something a gun advocate would type.  A gun advocate trying to keep things legal would not commit the numerous crimes after the alleged incident IMHO.

Yeah, it's a bunch of BS. According to Snopes:

"This piece has been passed along in e-mail since at least mid-January 2009, generally reported as having been harvested from Craigslist, a forum for local classified ads and discussions in more than 550 cities. The earliest e-mailed versions stated the "Craigslist" post had subsequently been removed by that entity and thus was no longer available for examination.

The lack of identifying detail makes it difficult to identify the original author of the piece (or determine whether the narrative was mere fiction or something based on a real-life incident), even more so as several different cities have been named as the location of the felonious interaction, including:

    * Savannah, Georgia
    * Asheville, North Carolina
    * Las Vegas, Nevada
    * Dallas, Texas
    * Austin, Texas
    * Knoxville (likely Tennessee, but state unspecified)
    * Georgetown (state unspecified)
    * Glasgow, Scotland (Glasgow Central Station)"

Funny, I always thought a civil society was one where people didn't pull knives and guns on each other. Silly, I know.

At first I was thinking "holy shiznit this is good", then I realized what girl would buy a gun for their boyfriend for xmas. I figured ok well it IS the states so maybe it's not that far fetched. But the part about the FBI, yeah I'd like to see someone try to attempt a call like that in real life even as a joke and see what happens to them. But it lost me at the P.S. part, that definitely is some NRA brainwash BS.

Someone who accosts you has by the very nature of their crime breached the common laws of society and decency. Therefore, it is not incumbent on you to attempt to act civilly in the face of mortal danger, but rather it is up to you to decide whether or not their plans will go smoothly for them.

You can choose to appease them and in doing so you will condemn their next intended victim to the same ill treatment they intend to inflict upon you, or you can stand and fight even though the odds may be against you. If you fight, it is not only in your best interest to be as prepared as you possibly can be, but it is also in the best interest of any victim that might come after you if you were to fail in your fight.

Yes, you may indeed need to take the life of your attacker, but it is not you who decided that such rules were to be broken. Instead, it was your attacker who made this decision, and who must then be the receiver of all the consequences of his actions, intended or not.

Happy New Year!

Yeah, there are variations of that story floating around. The one I read changed some of the details and at the end said, "sorry about that brown streak, respond with what detergent you used and how much and I'll reimburse you..."

I think everyone has a right to self defense...legally.

With that said, I posted this as funny, nothing more. I'm pro-NRA, but that isn't why I posted it lol

Anyway, it would be a total nut bust to the perp if it WERE true ;):rollin:

May you never live to regret that you could have done something to stop the crime that came after the one perpetrated upon yourself.
