Bad Maggot. Down boy!!!

[Maggot]

Got off work early and stopped by the PO to pick up the mail. In front of our post office we have a 'Liberty Wall' (made out of slate so chalk works well) where anyone can write anything. There were a bunch of high school kids having an anti gun rally. I walked around it just to have a look...I really didnt intend to speak but when one of them looked at me aand screamed 'No more guns" I just instinctively started shouting "Protect the Second Ammendment" really loud...and I can get really loud from learning to shout over heavy equipment working. A bunch of them had a fit so I walked up to the wall, grabbed a pice of chalk and wrote "Protect the 2nd Ammendment. Some little smart ass came up in my face and started to erase it and I smacked his hand out of the way. A couple others stepped up like they were going to start something so I just turned and faced them and all of a sudden they seemed to realize I wasnt just a kid and that continueing toward me could get really painfull, and stopped.

I realized that technically, slapping him could be assault, so I split, but you gotta do something.

 

[Nodakplowboy]

Yeah, that was probably assault, yeah you could have gotten in trouble.

On the other hand, he was violating your 1st A right to fee speech.

Regardless, I'll bet it felt good to swat him.

You better hope that there was no video going on.

Although I would have probably done worse.

Palantir knows...

Admit nothing and deny everything!

You did not “smack his hand” rather You instinctively defended your chalk.

 

[Supersubes]

Its amazing how ignorant they are. The irony is just thick! They want everything their way, no matter what it costs everyone around them. They’re gonna grow up to be good little progressives.

Until they get their ass handed to them

Huh, I would’ve figured a smack upside the head would have been more your style, jethro Gibbs style.

They are standing on others' tolerance, and they are pushing it. When they run a demo, they are standing up and trolling for trouble. Don't be that guy.

Well said, thats my story and Im sticking to it.

"Huh, I would’ve figured a smack upside the head would have been more your style, jethro Gibbs style." Jethro has immunity, I dont.

"They are standing on others' tolerance, and they are pushing it. When they run a demo, they are standing up and trolling for trouble. Don't be that guy. You are of course, right, what was needed was a bit more restraint, though I think reasoning with them was out of the question.

 

[Dewey7271]

I think you did fine. Better than I would have. My bs tolerance has dropped immensely.

I go to my local Library and weed out the "VietNam" veterans hanging out there. Homeless Assholes begging. Do they have any PRIDE? NO and some need a little help getting their funky ASSES out of the door.
I am a RVN Vet at 70 years old so when some ASSHOLE starts telling me he is a VN Vet and is only 40-50 years old hanging out at the Library waiting for the next FREE thing, I do things that are Politically Incorrect.
Nobody hassles me about it either. FM

Just doing what they have been taught.......actions without accountability. My dad would say that if you step up to a man and act like one you better expect to be treated like one. Tried something like that when I was a kid and I would have been knocked the F’ out. Then a good tanning from the old man when he found out? Never happen at that time because I was taught to be respectful to my elders and the kids aren’t taught that anymore.

The sad thing is that these morons should be getting the Gibbs from their parents. They are nothing more than an extension of idiot parents whom have taught their kids not to be responsible for themselves or their actions.
