360 awareness while pumping gas

[wvincent]

Sometimes you just gotta know your limitations...

I arrested a huge, (like defensive end huge), guy one time down in Miami, and threw him the cuffs to put on himself. He asked me what he was supposed to do with them and I told him to put them on, he was too big for me to fight and I didn't want to have to shoot him.

He laughed and we got along fine...after he put the cuffs on and I got him in the vehicle.

I'm going to score you an 9.5 for style,
and and 11 for honesty. At least you didn't have some bullshit story about how you rolled him up with a cig hanging out of your mouth and a cup of coffee in your left hand.

Back to the point, I ain't going out to the dumpster in the dark for auto repair with anyone. Nope, I ain't AAA.

Maybe he wanted to show you what he was willing to do for a Klondike Bar?
If this was going to be a robbery, his victim selection skills suck.
Bunch of folks rolling around trying to fold each other into different shapes? Dude, I'm not even a robber and that trips my "oh, fuck no!!" switch.

I know, right? But the head instructor only comes on Thursdays, so he'll have the chance to make a truly life altering decision tomorrow night.

Last year when we were able to fight indoors, an 'unhomed' individual came into the dojo and tried to steal some logo sweatshirts. This did not end with him leaving with the sweatshirts. Who steals from a dojo where you can see people beating the shit out of each other? Evidently people do...

...caused me to realize how useful a small snubby in the pocket is.

I actually thought about that last night, and found myself wishing I had my LCR 9 instead of a G26 AIWB. Light in left hand and snubby in pocket, held in right hand would have been my choice.

dificil no duro

(duro is the other kind of hard, like a rock, as I recall, and I think "llevar" instead of poner)

The second-closest I've come to physically needing to defend myself was at gas stations, and as is typical, it was seeing from a long ways away that gave me the advantage.

In general, if someone wants to try a sob story, I make sure that: a) yeah, wow, I'm realllly sorrry to hear about how much your life sucks in these particular ways; and b) this is exactly the sort of thing that cops want to help out when they happen, can I make that call for you?. No takers, in 20 years...

That second-closest event though, I was so damn angry watching this shambolic sample of humanity try to make my way that I gave him the ol' knife hands and yelling as soon as he was close enough for my yelling to feel unpleasant. Fuck that guy, though, trouble has look, and I've never had the time...
