i posted this over at another site also and got pretty good responses. a couple of people ate me up a bit but what ever no biggie. lets see what the consensus is over heresphss

we will start like this.....
the other day i was under arrest. not arrested but under arrest for about 45 min. cuffs, back seat of the car, cops being jerks and everything. it kind of sucked azz. anyhow i was walking into one of my local am/pm's and i was meet with a homeless person/bum/drug addict/alcoholic what ever you want to call it. anyhow, he is out front to the side of the door unavoidable and is asking for money. it finally got to my turn to be asked for money as i got closer and i said "no" and that i don't have any cash or change on me. (i drive a big rig tow truck and when im working i only carry my ID med card and atm). so he tells me "fock you azzhole" quite stearnly. i fuggen lost it. i had just pulled an all niter round trip to flagstaff. illegally, as far as hours go. its 5 am and im so tired i didnt even know my name. so as im losing it im telling this guy why the **** should i give you money i work to fuggen hard for the money i make just to piss it away on your drug addict alcoholic ass. (this was my rebuttel to being called an azzhole at 5am) ive got friends with families who have been laid off and on the verge of loosing there homes and those guys don't even ask me for money so fock you i told him. by this time i had a nice little audience going and that focker had the nerve to swing. he swings he misses i let that one go he continues with his verbal assault on me cause im the biggest azzhole on the planet cause i don't have money to give this guy and he swings again and brushes my shoulder. im really really really trying to keep it together at this time and i warned him if he swung again i was going to stop a mud hole in his chest. of course he said "fock you u aint gonna do shit) and swung again. some how i caught his wrist pulled him into me and kicked him in the gut punched him in the side of the head where he then ended up in the ground. a witness pulled me off him apparently right after i kicked him in the mouth. while all this is happening i hear sirens in the distance and im like shit im gonna go to jail. they got there talked to everyone else but me first while one of 5 officers approached me and very forcefully slammed me on the hood cuffed me and put me in the back seat. all the while not asking me a thing. what feels like 45 min goes by and the cops come back and say you can go know there is nothing here but we will be taking the home less guy in to sober up. i almost lost it on the cops cause i felt wrong fully detained but i didn't not want to get billy clubed

im usually a great judge of people and 80 % of the time im right. i knew this guy was not down and out cause of no job but because he was an alcoholic meth addict looking for his next fix. i gave this guy plenty of opportunities to back pedel and stop with the verbal and attemted phys assult so what little conscience i have is clear in my eyes. fock that guy why should i give him any of my money that i sweat in the summer for and freeze in the winter for all the while dodging traffic on the freeway. am i the azzhole for dealing with this the way i did?? is karma gonna eat my azz for not helping a destitute person? i will not help a bum that is a bum cause of drugs and alcohol or someone not willing to help themselves but i will help some one that is legit. funny part about that is legit destitute persons you will not find them panhandling in front of an am/pm. im sure someone will mention how do you tell them apart? i cant tell you how. you just know. im just saying. so am i the azzhole??

well there it is my story from early tuesday morning. let me have it folkssphsssphss

i think you handled it just fine. a few years ago a buddy and i were in san diego and were going into a fast food joint. a bum approached us asking for some money as he was out of a job and hungry. we both told him we "no" and went inside. after we were done eating my friend went to the counter and ordered a burger for the guy. when we walked out he handed the burger to the guy and an application to work there.

 

[dschifan]

you definitely did nothing wrong, i would have stomped his face in too, there is no excuse for that behavior. shit if i were you i would have liked to stomp the cops out to for throwing you around like that. some cops sure do act tought when your in hand cuffs don't they on the contrary there are lots of cool ass cops out there that i run into all the time. there is always those few that think they can do what they want.

 

[shreve"T"]

Why is this eating at you ?? Do you feel guilty ??? If not LEAVE it alone

 

[thumbs]

You could have been the bigger person and just ignored him like most people would do. If you knew you were going to jail when you heard the sirens you knew you made a poor choice. Did you think your speach to the guys was going to show him the light and change his ways?

This story pretty much got beat up over on RiverDaves...The manley thing to do would have been walk away..Its like fighting with a post..

 

[pvhca]

Like I said at RDP's, I'll be buying you a drink Wednesday night.devil

 

[Tahiti Boss21]

so who are you mad at? the cops doing their job or the transient doing his?

 

[DILLIGAF]

You tried to ignore his assualt twice. More patience than I would have had. F him. I would not blame the police. They are just doing their job and did it. No harm no foul.

Do you think someone filmed it for bum fights? lol

 

[Cheetah06]

I would have done the same thing...only it would have only taken him one swing for me to start kickin a hole in his chest!

People like this make me sick while we "hard working Americans" are out busting our humps these guys are takening a nap on a side walk somewhere wondering how there going to get there next fix.

It's no wonder this country is going to the crapper quick. Especially with todays youth the work force is not what it used to be. I'm only 29 years old, but I have busted my ass to get where I am. Most people in my position are in there late 40's to early 50's, but I was raised with very strong work ethics and strive to be the best.

Most of todays youth are heading straight towards being the guy in front of the gas station just trying to get by from day to day without a care in the world what will happen next week!

 

[slowride]

This all begs the question.... can you spare a dollar?

 

[INKDNRUDE]

I think you gave him his chances... F him! We were in laughlin about 2 weeks ago my old man and i get approached by a bum asking for money saying how its so hot and she needs to buy a water this that and the other... my dad (whom i mind you doesnt speak english) understood her as wanting a water, Gave the girl 2 bottles of cold water that we had in the chest, (being the nice guy that he is) she now says you dont have any money cash change?? I said no and we started walking as she walked away the freaking beeeeeyotch tosses the waters in the trash! I never give them shit! my dad was like wow guess she couldnt snort it... **** it theirs some work out there to put them in a better position... I say charity starts at home first! lol as far as the PD goes they are supposed take control of the situation first for their safety and others... including you... guys couldve pulled a blade or something... never know...

 

[Cobra1]

Just keep a couple of peso's in your pocket, toss them at him. I used to carry Canadian money and do that, but now it's worth mor than the american dollar so I stopped.


I saw a pan handler getting out of a brand new Old's, and zipping up his cast?? And then the wife drives off.

 

[yhammack]

Dude f#$k that guy, you gave him more chances than I would. For the most part I try to ignore them, or just say no and keep walking. But every once and a while you get that one a$$hole that mouths off and won't leave you alone. Or calls you cheap for not giving them money. In my eyes you did me a favor by kicking the sh!t out of one for once. lol.

The cop thing, eh, they were unaware of the entire situation. You were kicking his a$$ so they detained you and separated you two to figure things out. Once they did they let you go. If you ask me, it would be worth the cops throwing me on the hood for beating the crap out of some a$$hole loser with a big mouth. At least YOU didn't go to jail.

 

[RiverDave]

I didn't read the whole thread over on my site.. I just kinda figured you did what you had to do..

[AdamTwo4]

As others have said, don't blame you a bit.

Don't you dare get angry when I won't give your lazy/druggy/drunk arse MY money that I WORKED for.

Also don't blame you for bringing the Hammer down after the 3rd swing. You gave him his opportunity to wise up after not retaliating on the first 2.

 

[Chipster27]

"Will work for food"

My response: Here's an apple, build me a pool.

 

[DELTA~HOLIC]

I get hit up from homeless people all the time. If they want to talk shit because I didn't give them a quarter so be it. They are not worth my time to argue or fight with. The guy got arrested, you did him a favor. Free food, and somewhere for him to sleep.

Why is this eating at you ?? Do you feel guilty ??? If not LEAVE it alone

def not eating me and i do not feel guilty. i was just wondering how others may have handled it. as my wife tells me quite freq. "damn you have a black heart". as stated i was tired out of my mind and was not in the mood for shizz. to answer Tahiti boss no im not mad the cops ive got plenty of cop friends. just a little perturbed that no explanation of there actions to me were given. i told this to my el monte pd buddies and they were kind of suprised themselves. when they showed up everything was over and i was just standing there taking in everything i was already coming down off my adrenaline by the time i was slammed on the hood of one of those guys cars.

to sherve T i agree that the civil thing to do would have been to walk away but im not beeoch azz pushover either. this guy was given plenty of chances and i did not say or do anything to him till he proceeded to verbaly assult me and then took 2 swings at me. this type of person you dont turn your back on and walk away how you get sucker punched from the back and thats def not gonna happen to me how much shit does one have to take from some one who pushes and pushes before you put an exclamation point on itpunch

slowride= do you accept paypalsphss

i did not get as beat up here as i thought i would but then again a lot of folks are still at work ill check back again later

 

[IMPATIENT 1]

you're a better man than me. i would've started swinging the second he missed with his the 1st time, from then on it's your right to defend yourself.don't make a flyin phuck if its a priest, a bum, you don't let people hit you.
