Craigslist: To the Guy Who Mugged Me Downtown

Sounds like it could be a few people on here do you have a black Burberry jacket Daniel?

To the Guy Who Mugged Me Downtown

I was the guy with the black Burrberry jacket that you demanded I handed over shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to apologize.

I didn't expect you to crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it?

I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse, since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again. I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself some gas on your card. I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet, then I threw your wallet in a dumpster.

I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Alltel recently shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service. I was about to make some threatening phone calls to the DA's office with it. Oh well.

So, about your pants; I know that I was a little rough on you when you did this whole attempted mugging thing, so I'd like to make it up to you. I'm sure you've already washed your pants, so I'd like to help you out. I'd like to reimburse you for the detergent you used on the pants. What brand did you use, and was it liquid or powder? I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky. If you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch and laundry. Peace!

O.k. so he's getting mugged and decides to mug the guy. What a douche. Big bad bad *** with a gun.

If he's such a bad *** he should have put his *** on the ground and waited for the cops to come... but wait he probably doesn't have a concealed permit.

The mugger should friggin file a police report against the guy as he just admitted guilt to carrying a concealed weapon and committing and armed robbery with it.

Good for you for standing up for yourself but still.......

Douche.

Well played Unit 91, and that is brilliant. Definately goes to show that you never know who you are messing with these days, so better just to keep to yourself.

Yeah, this is why I don't think MORE guns are the solution to violence. This could have ended horribly! The poster can also be charged with credit card fraud

I think you guys need to consider how you might act if you were with your girl, and some degenerate came at you with a knife. It sounds like the guy kept his cool, and was just trying to scare some sense into this dude.

Actually it seems more like he was trying to act like a tough guy. A sensible guy would have given up the material possessions and dealt with the police.

If he was a real man - a knife would not have intimidated enough to pull a firearm.

Disarming an assailant is one of the first things martial arts teaches you in your first year - its like buttah.

[sarcasm]
but learning to one-up your attacker is so much easier than a year of martial arts!
[/sarcasm]

I don't think MORE guns are the answer to violence as this situation could have ended horribly! What if the attacker was on something and therefore didn't give a **** about the gun? I'd rather walk away cold with my girlfriend than not walk away.

well, if he doesn't care about the gun and is on something, he gets popped. end of story. self defense, the dude walks.

From experience... its not as easy with a real knife in a real situation. I took a knife right through the hand.

I think people misunderstand "self defense"

"He had a knife and wanted my material possessions, so I shot and killed him." doesn't work quite as well as you'd think.

With a concealed firearm? I doubt that - the only time you really get away with 'self defense' is when an intruder breaks into your house with force and has a weapon.

On the street it is easy enough to run away and yell out to people for help or just hand over your **** than cap him in public.
