I met a 99%er this morning AND I'M PI$$ED!!!

15 years in law enforcement and you convict based on assumption. Maybe a bird had diarrhea! Oh...not only 'SMOKERS' shoot hawkers....ever watch a marathon race...all those healthy non smokers hawk for 26.2 miles.

And yes, I did make many assumptions in my rant, but you know what...I probably was spot on. Why would someone go out of their way to toss a hawker on a car? And not just "on a car" but right on the driver's side window. And yes, had I caught him I'd have beaten the crap out of him. I didn't forget all the stuff I learned in hand-to-hand tactics I learned in 15 years in law enforcement.

But no, I don't take this out on my family. I haven't mentioned it to GW and I won't. No need wrapping her up in my being pi$$ed off, which, by the way, I'm now over.

PackDaddy, no, I didn't assume it was a poor person because it was WalMart, I assumed it was a poor person because of his piece of crap, beat to sh1t Ranger pickup. It just happened to be at WM.


So, who is making assumptions now when you say my conjecture is totally off base? It's 5:30 in the morning, there aren't but a dozen or so cars in the parking lot, and the only one parked anywhere close to me is that piece of crap Ranger pickup, and it happend to be gone when I came out of the store. I wasn't trying to PROVE anything. I lined up several bits of circumstantial evidence and deduced that it likely was the driver of the Ranger.

And a further assumption on my part was that the driver of that piece of crap Ranger probably wasn't in the 1% that the OWS arseholes are protesting against.

Soapm, yes, I have seen the drug deals and for the record, I HATE WALMART with a passion; they're not cheap, there's zero customer service and I could go on and on with the reasons. But at 5:30 in the morning there ain't too damn many places open.

rcknecht, you're right about this being a socialist state. Geographically, about 80% of the state is conservative and votes that way. Unfortunately the 20% that isn't holds over half the population of the state and votes socialist, errrr, I mean liberal.

So you were in law inforcement....that explains a lot of this anger. So the hated has become the hater...hmmmmm roll reversal.

I am not condoning what anyone did to your window and VIOLENCE is not the answer, but surely you know that from your EXPREIENCE!! Lets assume your right....now beating the guy to death is a good way to handle it?

If you hate Walmart so much they why in God's name would you stop there? Take responsiblity for your actions....stopping at Walmart, parking next to a reck of a car.

I consider myself 99% of the population, live a modest 1400 sq ft condo, a modest pension, SS and sell Lionel trains on Ebay to suppliment my income so I can own a small boat. And yet I do not hate you for having so much, you probably worked hard for it....Good for you. I suppose I could have had the same, but my lifes path is the one I chose and there are no regrets.
I don't hate you for what you have, but I do feel sorry for you and all the anger you have for people who are less fortunate than yourself. Over what? Someone spit on your window....and to go on and on about it......Really?

I am sure you think I am nobody because I don't drive a fancy car or a big boat.....that is on you my friend. I have no problem with people like you....I will pray this Sunday for you and the others that are so quick to judge and hate over such a small incident.

Whether or not politically correct, your hunches are probably good bets. People have been convicted of far worse crimes on much flimsier evidence...probably sufficient for a search warrant.

It is reasonable to attribute the action to the folks in the OWS crowd as that is how they they demonstrably behaved. The sad part is it doesn't need to be a Rolls to garner the disrespect and associated damage. A friend has a 10 year old car he has kept nice since it was new, it has a "Blue Book" value of $6,000 or so, he witnessed an individual in a quite similar situation deliberately ram a cart into his car then speed away before he could get to them.

It is taught to them by the liberals, who run our public schools, that they are aggrieved by society, instead of, how I was raised; that with a little hard work you can have anything you aspire to, including a Sea Ray.

Washington state politics is much like the rest of the country densely populated urban areas dictating to the rest of the country how it will be. See the map in the link, it shows that even blue states are often more red than blue except in the dark blue little section that has the most people. I see it differently than some have suggested about political thinking and geography; people that live in dense urban environments want a more socialistic approach as compared to more independent folks who live or left crowded cities for the suburbs or rural areas through hard work.

Spitting on a person is assault, Spitting on property deliberately is vandalism in some jurisdictions. GFC has every right to be upset, I've seen nothing indicating "Hate" from him. MM
 
Geeesh SeaRay215, are you feeling a bit of "guilt by association"? I'm so taken aback by your post that I'm not quite sure where to start. But, being in the good mood that I now am, please don't take too much offense if I take a few shots at what you wrote. Oh, and before I get to that, I'll take all the prayers I can get. Never hurts to build good Karma with God.

Now, just to set the record straight, I'm not a hater by nature. I'm a very happy and optimistic person who generally views the glass as half full....and I'm waiting for the rest because I know good things happen to good people. I've been very blessed in my life and I'm very appreciative of that and thank God frequently for the many blessings he's bestowed on me.

Lets assume your right....now beating the guy to death is a good way to handle it? Beating him to death? Geeeesh, I don't recall saying that. Unless by beating the crap out of him there wouldn't be enough left in his meager little body to sustain life. I guess you're implying that he was so full of crap that after a beating removed the crap there wouldn't be much left. OK, I'll go along with you on that one.

If you hate Walmart so much they why in God's name would you stop there? I think I already addressed that, but I'll type it again r-e-a-l s-l-o--o-o-o-w so you get it....it was 5:30 in the morning and there weren't any other stores open. Take responsiblity for your actions....stopping at Walmart, parking next to a reck of a car. You got part of that right. I did stop at WalMart, but I did not park next to him. There were a couple of spaces between our vehicles.

I consider myself 99% of the population, live a modest 1400 sq ft condo, a modest pension, SS and sell Lionel trains on Ebay to suppliment my income so I can own a small boat.I'm not sure what your boundaries are for being in or out of the 99%, but I'm probably in there also...except that I don't believe anyone owes me a damn thing. I'm not protesting, don't hate Wall Street or big banks or anything like that. I'm just a simple kind of guy who goes happily through my life. It wasn't until this dickhead injected himself into my life that I became unhappy. And yet I do not hate you for having so much, you probably worked hard for it....Good for you. Thank you. I did work hard. Put myself through college, through 7+ years in the military, and worked two jobs much of my life because I knew someday I would retire and want some things to show for it. I suppose I could have had the same, but my lifes path is the one I chose and there are no regrets.
I don't hate you for what you have, but I do feel sorry for you and all the anger you have for people who are less fortunate than yourself. Here's where you really went in the wrong direction. I'm not an angry person. If you asked a dozen (or a hundred) people who know me they'd say I was a very happy person. They'd also say that I give of my time to those who are less fortunate than I am. Over what? Someone spit on your window....and to go on and on about it......Really?

I am sure you think I am nobody. I have no problem with people like you because I don't drive a fancy car or a big boat.....that is on you my friend. Oops, wrong again. I don't think of ANYBODY as a nobody. I'm not rich and don't hang around with a rich crowd. Only in the past several years has my life turned in the direction it has. After working two jobs for much of my adult life and saving like crazy am I able to enjoy some of the fruits of my labor. If you were to meet me on the street you'd never guess that I have the lifestyle I do. Middle class, yes. Upper middle class, not so much. I will pray this Sunday for you and the others that are so quick to judge and hate over such a small incident.

Keep in mind Sea Ray 215 how this whole incident started. I was on my way to have coffee with a friend I've had for many years and have met for coffee every week for many years. I was minding my own business, in a good mood, and looking forward to meeting my friend. He, by the way, is many years younger than I, leads a simpler lifestyle than I, and we're both OK with that. We didn't chose to be friends because of our lifestyle, we chose to be friends because we both lead good, healthy lifestyles, believe in God, and believe in doing the right thing for the right reason.

So, Mr. SeaRay215, I hope I cleared the air a bit. Have a wonderful Christmas and may 2012 bring you all you could wish for.
 
searay 215 your comment is so correct. :smt038:smt038. there is one thing that i would change,no prayers from me for him, he needs more than prayers.:smt100:smt100
 
I hope it wasn't Warren Buffet? He drives an old car, shops at walmart, his house is old and does not own a boat! kidding.......i own a parrot and the deposit/evidence in question would not indicate a bird committing this crime!!!

Well OK then, we're getting some where now. Maybe it was the homeless guy that sleeps in the dumpster. Firstclass woke him up when he slammed the car door and it pissed him off.
 
Karma is a *****....In the weird twists and turns life offers us, I'm thinking someone is gonna end up driving a Piece of Crap Ranger Pickup!

Fifties our hundreds would be nice. I mean, it is the Christmas season. Hey, maybe that's why that guy threw the hawker on my car. He was giving me a present, fine person that he is.

Dang, didn't I make that clear. He ALREADY IS driving that Piece of Crap Ranger.

Ya know, maybe I should turn this around a bit for all of you who think I'm going off on someone when I shouldn't be. What if the situation were reversed and it was YOUR boat and trailer in the parking lot of WM because you were picking up some stuff on the way to the launch ramp. (or, if your boat is too big to trailer maybe it was tied to a dock while you were in a restaurant or something). And when you came out someone had taken a dump on the carpet in your boat. Same situation...you can clean it up and there's no permanent damage done.

Would you feel so warm hearted toward the person who left his "gesture of contempt" in your boat? Would you pray for his lost soul? How would you handle it if you came out and he was in the process of leaving his "gesture of contempt"? Just wondering here.......

WOW....if this isn't anger I don't know what is....I mean you have gone ON and ON and On about how someone spit on your window and you want to kick the crap out of them.....For God's sake I'll buy you some Windex and paper towels....

You let one small insignifcant thing blow up your entire day and go on a rant of epic purportions. You allowed him to take you to a place that men should not be over such a stupid incident. I would love to hear what you'd do if he would have done you actuall damage.....

Since you are now into what I am feeling as being attacked by some of the things you have said.....and I have no guilt by any assocciation...not sure where your getting that????? I will pray very hard that you will control your violent temper. Have a Merry Christmas.....no need to reply, unless you feel the need to have the last word.....I am sorry you let the person screw with your head. I will pray for both of you!!!
 
Thank you brother for the prayers. As I said earlier, I'll take all I can get.

This really hasn't blown up my day. I'm kinda having fun jerking your chain whilst I'm wrapping Christmas presents for my wife, my children and grandchildren and friends.

Oh, and before I forget, would you please answer the questions I asked in the last paragraph of my post right above yours? Just curious....Fa La La La Laaaa La La La La!
 
GFC,

Glad you don't live in my neighborhood. I happen to drive a rusted out 11 year old chevy Silverado much of the time and get up regulalry at 4:30 in the morning. So in your eyes I'm a 99% scumbag?

Here's the thing, I have a small sports car I don't like to drive in the winter, two 95 pound labs the wife won't allow in her leather upholstered sedan, and boating and wood working hobbies. I also get up at 4:30 to be able to talk with my clients in the Far East. Not quite the 99% profile.

As for the louie on the windshield, ever think it might have been a jealous Lexus owner?

Henry
 
Henry, I didn't "judge" the person by what he drove, I judged him by his actions. I identified him by what he drove because I felt that might have been what led him to toss the wad on my windshield. In the FWIW category, I drive a 14 year old Exploder in addition to my BMW, so I tend not to judge people by their wheels.

Class warfare is coming. It's one of the fundamental keystone blocks of the Socialist movement.

Here is your answer per your request...First of all I don't own a big enough boat or expensive enough of a car for anyone to have contempt for me. I'm just a little guy with nothing but good karma coming my way. Positive thoughts and deeds bring more of the same to you. And if someone did....I would not let him ruin my whole day like you let him do to you. And I certainly wouldn't blame the Occupy people, Obama and all the other people you blamed in your first post.

Now every time you go meet your friend now and pass that Walmat you will get pissed all over again becaus you just can't let it go and yes I would pray for him.
 
This is why I don't park next to...or near POS's in parking lots, though I know it is hard to do in a Walmart parking lot...LMAO!
