I think I have calmed down enough now to write.
I stopped by a store to pick up a couple of things. I was in the store about 10 minutes and come out to fing some kid going through the saddlebags on my bike!
I walked up behind him, smacked him on the back of the head and grabbed his collar before he could take off running. Next to my bike was car with two people in it and they jumped out yelling at me for hitting their kid. I just calmly pulled out the phone and called 911.
When the police arrived (fairly quickly for a change) I was still holding the kid by the collar and the parents were still yelling at me. It seems to me they were there to keep a lookout for the kid when he went through the bike. (didn't do a very good job)
Anyways, the policeman listened to the stories from both sides and got us all together and told us there was two ways it could go.
1. He dags the kid in and books him, and he drags me in and books me too. (For assaulting a minor!. I just swatted him once!)
2. we all just walk away and forget it happened.
Seeing as I have better things to do with my life that sit in court with a lawyer. I decided to just walk away.
But, to make it even worse the cop came over to me and said " I know who you are and there will be no retaliation against the family! Got it?"
What is wrong with this picture????
