Same kind of thing happened to a buddy of mine, but some lady was letting her kid climb all over his bike like it was a jungle gym. So I know exactly where people learn this stuff. When I was a kid I learned not to touch others property. This kid was getting encouragement from his mom to be an ***. When my buddy confronted her about it she acted like he was the one who was out of line. Damn liberals!

 

Amen to that! One of my jobs out here in Iraq is flying the fallen out of country. That flag draped on their casket is not just a piece of cloth, it is something that their family will hold and cherish to honor their memory forever. I will kick the **** out of anyone I ever see burning the flag. Off subject I know but it gets my blood boiling. Just as it would if some ******* was on my bike. I agree this country has become soft and that guy got what he deserved.

 

Now, how do we know demohead didn't have a gun or big buck knife on his side. We don't. There's the right way and the wrong way to handle a situation. It went down the way it did and everybodies OK. Like someone said in an earlier post, if he would have sat on the wrong bike it would have much worse and I believe due to some of the crowd I know here in Jax. The dude would have been toted off in an ambulance without the lights flashing. Maybe the dude got a little attitude adjustment that he needed or maybe he's waiting in the shadows like a coward to jump Demohead next chance he gets. Who knows. I wouldn't sweat it even if the cops were beating on my door. You did your deal Demo and you are standing like a man. Good or bad, you own it. Let's all let him deal with it. I got your back next time Demo [:@]

 

It seems that more and more people these days need a healthy dose of respect slapped into them. I know that I and most of my generation were raised to keep our hands (and feet) off of other peoples property. I miss the old days!!

 

That guy was certainly disrepectful concerning another's property. But reacting violently put the owner even further down the food chain than the idiot. My approach would have been, "Excuse me, do you realize you are damaging a $25,000 motorcycle with your feet, not to mention you do not have my permission to sit upon it. May I have your name and address so that whatever damage you have just caused can be construed criminal mischief should I choose to report it?"

That would either made him apologetic and contrite, or ripe for prosecution.[:@]

 

You are absolutely wrong and your actions wouldn't & couldn't be justified but we've had this argument two or three times in the last few months so I'll say no more...

 

BRAVO!!

 

It's just a bike. Get a grip!

 

Then he says "Go **** your self" - Our LEO's are so back up in our town that if you turned and called the PD - the guy would have had enough time to run his cell battery down - stand up - flip you off - and walk away....

 

I haven't seen anyone ask this question.......


Would you have done the same thing to the guy if he was BIGGER THAN YOU?

Did you size him up first?

Or was your reaction so spontaneous, you would've done that to anyone?

Just curious.


Sorry, but I don't condone violence.
I would have excused him off the bike and moved on. That guy could've been crazier than you, and you might not have been here to write about it.
