To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.

Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.

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. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap 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 mother or "Momma" 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 Vinnie Van Go Go's, 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 sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell 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. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,

Alex

When I first saw this, I thought WOW, good for that guy !!!

I have seen this post and several like it so many times in the last 5 years.
It is a hoax, like Bill Gates will give me money to send emails for a beta test, etc etc etc.

But a great post to make me smile.

Move to Louisiana - we have C&C, plus your car is legally an extension of your home, so if some tries to carjack you ....

Did someone say its 4th of July?

I've often wondered how "A well regulated Militia" came to be interpreted as "Random people packing heat".

It has been and the Court ruled favorably on the meaning of the 2nd Ammendment. However, the Court must grapple with if and or how a Federal edict applies to States.

There was a very good explanation of all of this in December edition of the American Rifleman. And I quote, in part:

"In the 1833 case of Barron v. Baltimore, the Supreme Court ruled that the Bill of Rights only applies directly to the Federal Government and that ruling has stood ever since."

Forbidden politics aside for a moment. . .

Crimes committed against criminals are still crimes. If this had really happened the writer needs a few years in cold storage.

Armed robbery, vandalism, fraud and lying to a Federal Officer ought to be good for several years in a Federal slammer.

However, political wrangling requires that this be closed.
