That is just it, the guy was well known by that PD dept., and by some of towns people, it's sad when something like that happens, I'm like, I did not instigate this, so I told him to eff off, he jumped out and escalated it to something that was a crime, and I get charged, and I have to pay an could have that on my record. No way out of it either, who is to say how far someone like that would go, especially on hard drugs, you had best be capable of reacting to it without hesitation, something I never had a problem with, he was just looking for a fight with someone, problem was he found the wrong guy that night. You wonder or speculate, what if the guy attacked a saavy elder or someone who just can't fight, but was armed, who feared for his well being and shot him, you know because that person was armed and the assailant was not, it could work against the guy defending himself, that's why the best policy is try to avoid the problem if possible, if not you have to do what you must to protect yourself from harm, going to court at least won't cause you bodily harm, just hurt your bank account LOL !
One thing worth learning in this world is to always be aware of your surroundings and be able to block a punch, stay calm and defend yourself, if you cannot escape and evade first, I mean thinking back, you really don't want to put yourself in a position like that so the smarter thing to do would have been to ignore the guy, he was focused on us though, it might not have made a difference, harrassed us as we were crossing the street from a moving vehicle, we had the right of way, so I told him to eff off, is that a crime ?
Some stories are better left untold, probably should not have mentioned this here, but the post reminded me of that incident. Well maybe I learned, come out of my favorite place with the girlfriend one night, 2 years ago, there's a drunk urinating on her car just as we are approaching and going to open the door, she was a bit p_ssed, I really wanted to do something, but just held back, told em to move on, remembering how these things can turn out, thought it the mature thing to do but you just never know. At first glance you don't want her to think you are a push over, but then again showing some restraint portrays you as someone who has a little poise and stays in control, reacting only when absolutely necessary, the guy was lucky, she'd have clobbered him good too, from the country and takes no crap. Probably best we both kinda just figured, like most things it'll just wash off, drunks will be drunks...

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
