Was attacked outside my home, Ask me anything!
Edited on Mon Jul-11-05 02:47 AM by booley
I just need to rant becuase I am pissed off.

Was carrying groceries homes with my room mate when on my porch, some sh*t head punk ass B%^ch hit me over the shoulder with a 2 by 4. He and his friends then ran off, laughing all the way.

Filed a police report and i think they got the guy who hit me. But I only saw him from behind as he was running away and at a trial that will probably let him walk. But I am certain this is the guy becuase when he saw me he sure acted as if he knew me.

So is it wrong to hate people, even if they show a certain level of ass hole-ish-ness? I mean this guy and his friend weren't even doing it for money. They just thought it was funny to hit somebody with a board and run away.

I know this isn't all that bad. It's not like a terrorist attack or anything. But I am jujst so sick of seeing the collosal ignorance and ickyness that too many human beings seem capable of..they even seem to enjoy it.

2.  So sorry this happened to you. Hate may be something most democrats
are incapable of, so I see your dilemma. Anger is normal for all of us. I'd be pissed as hell. I've had property stolen and the perp knew I knew, therefore I couldn't retaliate with police because I knew he would retaliate with violence against me. I have an idea: Direct your anger to wards the causes of inequity in our society. That is the root of this horrible thing you experienced. People will take power where they can get it. Such a shame. I hope you feel better soon.:hug:

6. I know what you are going through
I got fag bashed and in court one of them stood up and threatened to kill me while I was testifying (it didn't help his defense very much). I wasn't even scared, I was just so angry I was practically spitting blood.

I was just angry and then confused. You know, "how could you do this?", "why would you do something like that?", "what the fuck is wrong with you?". That sort of thing. And I got more angry.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear you are OK. It's wrong to hate people, but it's perfectly OK to be major fucking pissed off at them :)

Khash.

7. yes, i'm ok, just angry
While it stung a bit, the andrenaline rush dulled any real pain.

Was more angry then hurt.

And I'm glad they got the guy. was afraid i would have to chalk this up to another "life experience" In other words, they would get away with it with no consequences as so many others have done.

Thanks for all you asking. i feel better now. My faith in humanity is restored;-) it was the idea that these assholes were represenative of the species that was upseting me.

8. God, honey. I am so sorry. Go lie down and have revenge fantasies
until you get it out of your system. I used to send my grandma over a cliff in a pink convertible when she pissed me off and it works.

10. It may not be recognized as a "terrorist" attack
but it had the same effect, it has made you leary and instilled fear where it may not have existed before.

The other day when I was riding my beloved scooter down the street going home from work a couple of teenage boys in a huge truck come up on my side and one of them sticks his head out of the window and says something I cannot understand, because he uses that teen heavy metal type screaming voice. Was I afraid that they would try to run me off the road, yes I was. You just never know what people, especially teen boys are capable of. I know it's a generalization but this has been my experience. I don't often have middle aged men screaming things out of the windows of their large trucks.
