    I would hope so.

    I don’t think silver dollar was trying to imply you didn’t. Most people call a pick-up truck a truck so I thing he was just asking for clarification as he must be stupid for putting dyed fuel in his semi trucks tank.

    bah my temper would've gotten the better of me, and a crowbar would've played an integral role in my homicide trial.

    That could have been dangerous, they could have had guns & used them.

    You handled it right. Beating up someone your going to get arrested for assault. Much worse crime then theft. I watched a guy at Jubitz pull into a fuel island before some other guy who was actually going the wrong way. He got out and wanted the guy to move. Then he hit him. The other guy did not fight back and covered up and other drivers told him to leave him alone. The cops showed up and I gave a statement. He was arrested and his truck/trailer towed to the impound lot.

    Bottom line, you can't attack ANYONE other then to defend yourself with....REASONABLE force.

    the world might frown on vigalante justice today
    but there were less punks and thieves when a good whipping solved the problem
    in case you havnt noticed our kinder gentler world is a mess
