Excellent points.
The parking lot selection aspect of this whole story was
interesting.
Didn't make much sense at all. I don't think it was reasonable. And lying to the cop was maybe not reasonable either.
If you have to lie to a cop about a self-defense event caused by parking in a 100% deserted, dark parking lot because you want to fool your soon to be ex-wife because of a nearing divorcebecause she knows the babe you're going to a movie with...that is...well,... not a
good thing.
Life doesn't have to beso
complicated.
So Hank...whacha tryin to say??? Don't hold back man...tell me how you really feel!!!
So what?...the parking lot thingmay not have seemed reasonable to you, but like I said, I had grown up in the area, and it wasn'tso bad around there at the time, that you had to watch your back or worry about getting car-jacked. I've already explained why I did it.
So now I'm the bad guy because I was going out ona date with someone before my divorce was final, and I parked in an open, but deserted,parking lot with no cars???
Whatever...
Read this again, slowly, and try to understand it this time...I chose not to park in the upper lot simply because I didn't want my X to drive through and see my Jeep there...parking somewhere else in the upper lot would not have accomplished that purpose. We "could have" met elsewhere and driven there together, but I didn't want to do that either, as we might have been seen riding together.
What the...???
"If you have to lie to a cop about a self-defense event caused by parking in a 100% deserted, dark parking lot because you want to fool your soon to be ex-wife....etc......etc......etc....snip"
What in the hell are you talking about?
This "event" wasn't caused because of a run-on sentence describing my personal life at the time. It was caused because some P.O.S. thug thought he had found an easy target. Why don't you just take sides with the thug, you'd make better sense that way. You really should be an anti...you'd be good at it, because that's like saying it's the gun's fault that people get shot.
If I had not parked there, then yeah, it probably wouldn't have happened.
Butif that's the case, I guess that I should live in fear and never come out of the house??? But, with all of your infinite wisdom, I guess that you have NEVER parked in a lot that didn't have good lighting, andwithout people walking all around you, so someone could come running to your rescue if needed, right? Yeah...Riiiiiiiiight!!!
Telling the cop that I didn't point the gun at the scumbag was not right???
Ok...yeah, I guess that I should have just "fessed up" and told the Officer that Ihad commited the crime of "assault with a deadly weapon", and that he should lock me up ASAP.I didn't do anything wrong man, so why should I have admitted to something that would have sent me straight to jail??? WTF? But I guess that if you had been in that situation, you would havedone just that, right? Yeah....Riiiiiiiiiight!!!
Next time something like that happens to me...I'll be sure tojump on here to ask your advice first, before I do anything that may notseem reasonable to you! :quirky
