Can you imagine this one...***Update*** | erics's Blog

It was about 5-6 AM-ish. I heard a loud bang, followed by screaming. I mean screaming for ones life kind of screaming. I ran outside. What did I see? I see 5 guys beating on 2 guys. I know the 2 guys that were getting beat down. So, what did I do you ask? Come on now.  A free (so I thought) chance to do some good and kick ass. What more can you ask for?

First things first: I made an elderly man get back in his house. You know how stubborn the old folks can be. Second: I had to get a a teenager to safety, as he was being a little too curious. The teen lives in my apartment building as well, and he is mentally retarded. After I play an on the fly rescue operation, it was time to fight. I was not nervous, nor afraid. Fighting is one of the things I do well naturally, so I am comfy doing it.

I did, however, notice the odds and that there was blood everywhere. All this before I even jumped in the melee. As I approach the situation, one of the "home invaders" starts to run away. Eric sees a grand opportunity. I grab his shirt (bad move as he was covered in blood) and drag him to the floor. Where, I hit him in the back of the head, and kicked his ribs about 5 times. I let him be after I noticed he was severely fucked up. Can't kick him while he is down...uh...too many times anyway. >=) 

Then I proceed over to the apartment where all the action is taking place. I see my neighbor "Scott" getting his skull kicked in. So, me and one other guy semi-tackle the man who was doing the beating of "Scott" I only hit him once. He fell to the floor. He screamed for his ass, and the guy with me (who I don't know) is stomping the shit out of the dumb shit. The man I knocked down is now screaming; "I can't feel my legs, stop beating me!!!!" He said this about 10 times. I had no sympathy for his punk ass what-so-ever. In my world if you break into someones house, disturb a whole neighborhood, endanger kids and elderly...you deserve to die. I am glad I had my sense about me. Meaning: the cops were on their way and I was not about to be caught fucking this asshole up any more than needed.

Well, the cops get here. Aaaannnddd guess what? I get detained. I tell what happened...sort of. I fudged some details to protect my neighbor(s) and myself. But the over-view was accurate.

Assholes kick in my neighbors door. The same assholes who threatened me about 3 weeks prior. I make sure my other neighbors are okay. Then, I aid my neighbor in need. I (probably) severely hurt a couple of guys. And I lied about it when the cops asked me what happened. Where I am from, we don't tell cops shit. It gets you no place, and makes you a rat. Fuck that.

So, after being detained for about 1.5 hours. I asked if I could smoke, or just arrest me. They let me go, and Arrested "Scott"!!! You know, the guy who had his door kicked in and the guy who was almost killed. You tell me folks, is our criminal justice system fucked or what?

Of the 5 guys who attacked us; 4 got away. The only one the arrested was Mr. Can't feel his legs. Un-fucking-real.

And that was my morning.

***Update*** 11-10-09: So, the above story happened a week ago as I type this. Well, I spent the entire subsequent days away from it all, and am now far away from the whole ordeal. In that time, I have received some news on the fight/melee....whatever you call it. Number one: the 'can't feel his legs' guy is...uh...never going to feel his legs. He is paralyzed and won't walk again. He is also in hospital lock up. Which is basically jail for sick/injured people. 

Number two: One of the guys I knocked out, turned out to be my cousin David! Un-fucking-real. We didn't recognize each other. And only found out who the other was because I told his aunt about the incident, and he told her as well. She deduced that it was the same fucking story. She informed each of us that she had heard some sort of variation and had us talk about the incident. I told him "No hard feelings, right?" "I didn't know it was you, but that is what you get for kicking in someone's door."

WOW! Of all the shit that could have come from this. It was dark out, and my cousin and I had not seen each other in years. So, I guess that means we look a lot different than we once did. Daaaaammmnnn....
