    Actual Craig's List Posting

    I HAD TO SHARE THIS ONE!!! Subject: Fw: ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST POSTING MORNING SMILE! AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

    To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
    Date: 2009-05-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T.

    I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message. First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?! I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again]. After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful! I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!] I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car. Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.). In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.Have a good day!

    Thoughtfully yours,
    Alex

    P.S. Remember this motto .... An armed society makes for a more civil society!


    My wife forwarded this to me today and I thought the rest of you would like it as much as I did.

    In 2006 it was President Bush and a Colt Python (which hasn't been available new since 1992?). Either way, still funny.

            As I recall in the mid 90s you could get custom Pythons, but they were almost 50% more than a standard model with even minor customization because they needed to be upgraded with the parts that eliminated the "double-action issue" that caused them to be discontinued in the first place.

            I had one from the late 70s that I picked up unfired, but after about 500 rounds the trigger got even mushier than it already was, and at 1,500 rounds it was only really reliable when fired single action. I figured I'd get it repaired/upgraded but when I was quoted $500 I sold it for parts on GunBroker.

              I have a similar copy of that story to, it gives me a warm squishy feeling inside (different that our friend in this tale though). S&W K Frame from 1957 handed down with a partial box of real .44 mag, Crack an engine block at 50 yards .

                Does anyone not see that the guy writing the story committed far more crimes than the guy who tried to rob him? If this story was true, this is such a shame. And a more armed society does not make a more civil society. A more educated one does.

                    Educated + Armed = Better than both. Macht und Geist, not just one or the other man.

                      That's what i was thinking. I mean yeah the guy deserved to be punished, but to punish a crime by committing many more yourself doesn't entirely make sense. It would have been enough to pull the gun on the guy, and demand he leave his wallet and cell phone with you, then send them to his mom or something after having called her. Reversing a robbery, while funny, is not right.

                      I'm all for the right to bear arms and concealed carry, but my reasons are quite a bit different than what he said. An educated society does certainly make for a more civil society, a well armed one just makes it so anyone can shoot anyone else (criminals are included in society, so them being well armed won't make things civil).

                      Luckily i doubt this story is true.

                      I'd also like to say what warbeak said has a lot of merit, both make for a better society, because there area a lot who will reject education, but in an ideal society to have a civil society you would only need for it to be well educated.

                        Really? Wasn't the Roman society the most educated of the day?

                          Do you really think we're any more civilized than they are? We're actually more like the romans than any other society. Then again, that's another topic entirely, and as far as being civilized they were the most civilized at the time. If you want to argue about that, however, we shouldn't jack this thread to do it.

                            No, I question if education = civilzation. I think it was a bad assertion.

                              Does it guarantee it? No, but it certainly does help.
