AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2011-11-27, 1:43 am. 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 was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom 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 crap 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 153 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.
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, Semper Fi,
Alex

This guy sunk to a lower level than the mugger and sounds like an up himself tosser, guns don't make you tough.
 
Sounds like a nice story of what some might 'wish' would actually happen. If it DID actually happen, surveillance cameras at the gas pumps (face it...all have them now) would provide his identity and he would be caught by now. But it was still a good read.

but..it seems apparent it makes you tougher than the guy who had the knife....
99% of this is probably literature liberties
 
If I ever have to draw my concealed weapon it will be to save my life and I will fire it as many times as I can until Iam safe. Never show your concealed firearm to anyone unless there is a bullet leaving the chamber. That's concealed carry and self defense 101
 
I've read that one before, word-for-word. Even if the guy did half of that, it would be effective. It does make for a good tale, though, ya have to admit. A real heart-warmer!!! It's what needs to happen to every thug and wanna-be thug out there. Don't kill them, just make THEIR lives a living Hell! Sounds like a plan to me.
 
Pretty sure if it WAS true, after the phone calls to several alphabet agencies, they would have tracked him down in 24 hours. And not be happy. Yeah, I remember reading this before. And the one where the doberman had fingers lodged in his throat.
 
I don't take Snopes as any kind of authority on anything; but if one simply reads the story, they'll figure out it's a tall tale, with or without the validation by the TWO people that consist of Snopes.com.
 
I think some miss the point of the "story". Yes this is a very old story but the message is the same. YOU JUST DONT KNOW. Lets look at a story from 2 days ago. I wont do word for word here but it should be obvious. An attempted car jacking... except the cars owner was a CCW holder. No one got hurt.... no shots fired... perp in jail.... Did this punk think he was gong to get way with the "jack"... damn straight he did. Oh look... SURPRISE!! Now your badazz aint so bad. There is a story from here (MILWAUKEE) within the last 2 years... A guy right out on a busy street beatin' the crap out of his girlfriend.... guess what ... a guy driving by.... (CCW holder) stops... you know already where it goes from here. No shots fired.... perp jail... Little by little some of these punks a getting a BIG surprise. Now what would BIGS do??? try to jack me and find out........
 
If no shots were fired the attempted car jacker got lucky and the CWP/CCW holder was probably 90% violating the law. Training with CCW or CWP details the fact that if your gun has to leave your holster its going to have bullets fired at somebody 100% of the time. Its to save your life or the life of another. Otherwise, you are breaking the law. Atleast here in Florida. You do not fire into the air, thats illegal. You do not threaten someone telling them you have a fire arm, thats illegal. Also not to mention makes having a CWP pointless. You also do not display it without reasonable attempt to conceal.

I wonder how the CCW and car jacking incident went down exactly when the official report was filed.
