    Letter from Craigslist

    I was the white guy with the black Burrberry jacket that
    you demanded I hand over shortly after you pulled the knife
    on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my
    girlfriend’s purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come
    across this message. I’d like to apologize. I didn’t
    expect you to [censored] your pants when I drew my pistol after
    you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a
    reason that evening, and it wasn’t that cold outside.
    You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber 1911
    .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a
    shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh?
    It’s a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your
    head, isn’t it? I know it probably wasn’t a great
    deal of fun walking back to wherever you’d come from
    with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I’m
    sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your
    shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn’t have
    you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to
    mug us again. I took the liberty of calling your mother, or
    “Momma” as you had her listed in your cell, and
    explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself some
    gas on your card. I gave your shoes to one of the homeless
    guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all of the
    cash in your wallet, then I threw the wallet itself in a
    dumpster. I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your
    cell. They’ll be on your bill in case you’d like to
    know which ones. Alltel recently shut down the line, and
    I’ve only had the phone for a little over a day now, so
    I don’t know what’s going on with that. I hope they
    haven’t permanently cut off your service. I was about to
    make some threatening phone calls to the DA’s office
    with it. Oh well. So, about your pants. I know that I was a
    little rough on you when you did this whole attempted
    mugging thing, so I’d like to make it up to you. I’m
    sure you’ve already washed your pants, so I’d like
    to help you out. I’d like to reimburse you for the
    detergent you used on the pants. What brand did you use, and
    was it liquid or powder? I’d also like to apologize for
    not killing you and instead making you walk back home
    humiliated. I’m hoping that you’ll reconsider your
    choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky.
    If you read this message, email me and we’ll do lunch
    and laundry. Peace!

    That is great has to be the best thing on craigs list. I would say this would be a better post on every the side of every atm to maybe give these low lifes who can read at least some thinking material before they rob a person at the ATM.

    I guess I have a different take on the subject. If this story is true, which I doubt, then what this fellow did after defending himself with his handgun, puts him in the same class as the mugger.

    I doubt that the story is factual, adds a twist ending and maybe just maybe what the would be Bad Guy deserved. Maybe, he just should have let the robber have his way. Oh heaven forbid to resist an armed assailant :dunno: I take it you never enjoyed Charles Bronson in all of those Death Wish movies.

    :+1:for the post and repped for the story :patriot:

    True but I see a lot of videos of you chained and being dragged though doors:D

    Also I tired of paying 2.50 to get my own money and exactly how did you get my money anyways.

    The 2.50 (3.00 for non-INGO members) covers my monthly therapy bills due to the emotional trauma caused by frequently being CHAINED AND DRAGGED THROUGH DOORS.:):

    You gave me the money to hang onto. It's for your own good...
    You'd just blow it all on guns and ammo.:laugh:

    I always thought it stood for "ass to mouth"....:dunno:

    I see videos of that sometimes, and there are also chains....but no dragging through the doors. haha

    If I was the guy, I'd done it all the same, save for using his stuff and spending his money and what not. I'd probably just gave it to the homeless guy and been on my way. But since it couldn't have been factual, RIGHT THE *** ON!!!!!!! BWHAHAHAHA

    Very nice!

    Oh and btw, ATM, if you are having so much trouble with the chains and being draggededed, they do make 2" concrete bolt anchors... If that doesn't work, imbed yourself into the wall! :D

    This is NOT the tactics forum. It's NOT a good idea. It's just funny:laugh:

    My guess: probably not true.

    Hypothetically, though...

    Gun at mugger's head: good for him
    Mugger :poop: himself? :lmfao:
    Taking the shoes, phone and wallet: :thumbsup:
    Personally, I'd have given the shoes to a homeless guy as described, given the wallet (with ID, hopefully) to the cops, and maybe used the phone to call his mother. :thumbsup:

    In all seriousness, IF it really happened, the call to the police should have been his first action after the mugger was gone and he and his girlfriend were safe. Hell, if the guy had time to get the failed mugger's shoes, wallet, and phone, I'd think he should have proned the mugger out and had him call the cops on himself.

    But yeah.. making him :poop: himself... that's classic. :lmfao:

    Blessings,
    B

    Nah, I never said that the guy shouldn't have defended himself:scratch:. But, taking the wallet and using the credit card and racking up charges would just put him in the same class as the mugger. Two wrongs don't make a right. BTW, I own the complete series of Death Wish movies, and really enjoy them:):.
