    When I lived in the city and had guys get in my face, I'd tell them I'm gay and find them attractive. Ask them if their single.....if there's anything I can do to make their day go better. When this just infuriates them more I tell them they better win the fight cause if they don't I'm gonna rape'em Pulp Fiction style ! :bootyshake:

    Two guys got into it over the cb today...in the middle of traffic while information was being giving out about location and all that...

    "Break 19, if you two can't get along there's a hotel with truck parking off the next exit. Get a #### room and fight it out there. This isn't the place or the time. Now shut the hell up so we can hear!"

    Guess I would get into the middle of it...but to be fair, never heard another peep out of either of them.

    i used to be pretty quick to jump in and break up a fight or get involved. i will still occasionally try to diffuse a situation. but after one late night at a carnival near closing time was walking near the outside edge most people were cleared out by this time and back behind one of the carnival booths i see a guy beating the #### out of a woman i went back there cold clocked the guy and dropped him to the ground she got up and hit me right in the nose and then started yelling at me. now days i try to just mind my own business most the time.

    Some people just aren't appreciative...at least not in the right way.

    That case you might have been better off grabbing an officer. Domestic stuff gets hairier than a Sasquatch. She might have hit you back thinking when he woke up she was gonna get it even worse.

    You still did the right thing for what it's worth.

    Morally ya did good, Brother. Personally, I can't ditch my old school ways either. It'll pro'lly get me killed before I retire.

    At the risk of overwhelming 'the system', next time call 9-11 and state a fight in progress. It also might help clear out the pump island too.

    There's too many guns out there owned by to many nut bars ...... keep that in mind ...... last night at a Church in SC ...... last year at a school in CT ..........

    Go safe boys and girls ..... git home, that's what matters.

    That is an irresponsible representation/comparison of two tragic events that were preplanned and executed by at least one known certified nut job, and the latest, a hateful racist A - hole at the very least(more to come I am sure).

    I just heard about the South Carolina shooting today at my last receiver.

    I asked if they caught the guy... I'm glad they did.

    Did you all know that a traditional hangman's noose has 13 knots in it? ...you know. Just...fun trivia. :D

    An irresponsible comparison ??? What is the criteria, then, to compare nut jobs and nut bars ? Please feel free to educate us on the various levels of violent insanity !

    I think you did what you could. Shame on Love's for not busting some jokers for blocking up the pumps.
