of who I'd talk to like what. I'm not afraid of, nor intimidated by anyone. Basically, what you're doing is building up a straw man and knocking it down when you keep tossing the word "African American" around. Nowhere does any of my posts mention an African American. But feel free to keep building your strawmen and knocking them down.

Try sticking to the issues of what we're discussing. A drunken, pilled up punk beating on my door and looking for trouble, all while scaring my son, my daughter & her friend. Put yourself in my shoes for once, knowing that the cops would be 30 minutes or longer in responding... anything could happen in that amount of time.

As it was, it took less than two minutes to rectify the situation and the boy KNOWS that if he ever comes back here again he's going to leave in an ambulance, if not body bag.

As it stands, I've seen him in town twice since this incident. What do you know, I didn't try to kill him, hurt him or anything else! When he sees me, he hangs his head and walks off in the opposite direction because he KNOWS he fucked up, and as far as I'm concerned the problem is over with. I've had more than a few tell me "this ain't over with" when they've gotten their asses kicked. My response? "Well, let's finish it right now, boy". I don't hold grudges and don't chase after people with the intent on harming them. I *do*, however, protect myself, my children and my property when the need arises. If you can't wrap your mind around that and understand it, there's nothing more I can say to you to help you understand it. You don't seem to realize that when you live in the 3rd smallest county in the state, with a police force of FOUR officers, sometimes you just have to rely on yourself and take care of yourself.
