I Kicked A Right-Winger's Ass...And I'm Not Sorry.

[mellowfellowO]

A few weeks ago, I was headed home after a goodbye party in California. It was then that I was verbally accosted by a man who claimed to be a "McCain Supporter." He uttered some racial epithets, then threatened to "kick my monkey ass all the way back to Africa" because he was tired of "niggers like me and Obama."

Needless to say, we came to blows. That gentleman won't be eating solid foods for a while, nor will he be breathing through his nose with any ease.

I am not proud of what I did, but I'm not sorry I did it.

There is an old saying amongst Sicilians that translates roughly into this: If you fuck with the bull, you get the horns...

1. Sounds like...

he got what he deserved.

2. You did what you had to do

You should feel no shame in that. I love it when right wingers think that everyone around them is weak, only to get quite a surprise.

And by the way, that almost seems like a hate crime to me. The fight seemed to be more racially motivated rather than a difference of political opinion.

3. I hope you're not posting from the jail library!

16. Qutie The Opposite...

I started a new job as the creative director of a digital media firm...although some time off to read would be nice...:crazy:

4. I usually don't condone violence.

But I would probably do the same thing. These racist idiots are such low life scummy people. I am sorry that someone would resort to name calling and try to make you feel inferior. There is no excuse for it. I am glad that you stood your ground with this dumbass. Take care.

5. I think you explained your position to him...

...in a language even he could understand.

Some people are slow to "get it"

[Balbus]

6. Do Sicilians get all their sayings from the "Breakfast Club"?

[mellowfellowO]

17. Glad you noticed...

:toast:

[TahitiNut]

27. Never mind that ... he's got toilet paper trailing from his belt line.

:silly: :dunce:

[patrice]

7. Really, at certain times, "Let's talk about it" is the worst response . . .

As long as the degree of violence is not dis-proportionate to the action that elicited it.

[Gman]

8. There comes a point when these assholes cross the line

you have the right to kick someone's ass when they physically assault you and/or they insult your personal honor and integrity or that of someone you're with such as your wife, girlfriend or your mother. This guy came at you in a threatening way and he insulted you. You did the right thing and high five!

[Dogmudgeon]

9. Actually, you kicked a potential criminal's ass

He threatened you harm, did he?

IMHO, he got off easy.

--p!

[zbdent]

10. He probably forgot that not all libs are pacifists ...

of course, he probably would have felt safe taking on a small child in a wheelchair ... that would have been "fair" in their eyes ...

[iamahaingttta]

11. I do believe that everyone needs a good ass-kicking...

...once in a while.
Some people need an ass-kicking more than others.

Unfortunately, the lesson that guy learned is that he is right about "people like you." He's just less likely to say it out loud from now on.

[wellst0nev0ter]

21. Racist Fucks Like Him Have Already Made Up Their Minds

There are just some people you can't teach, so when they literally ask for an asskicking, they'll get it.

[jpak]

12. Bait

Yum

:puke:

[Eryemil]

13. Awesome

[Kahuna]

14. ...

:applause:

[jpak]

15. I don't believe any of this at all

nice try though

[Phoonzang]

18. If this is actually real....

I'd say good job.

[cali]

19. if it smells like troll shit

it probably is troll shit.

Having fun, are you?

[jpak]

20. It's troll shit

n/t

[Terran]

22. I'm getting a whiff of something too...

Possibly it's the clumsy attempt to quote the alleged jerk.

[msanthrope]

23. I was smelling pizza--Tombstone brand.....n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

24. I Read The Article About That! You Hit Him Good, But He Was An 89 Year Old In A Wheelchair!

I remember reading the article a few weeks ago and it told the story just like you did, quotes and all! But you left out how it was an 89 year old dude in a wheelchair. How convenient.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

26. LOL ...

[SaveOurDemocracy]

25. hmmmm ... where did i leave my troll-spray?

This doesn't pass the smell-test.

[mellowfellowO]

28. I know some of you think this is BS...

but I'm not trying to bait anyone. I'm a little surprised at the reaction, because I've been posting on here for a touch, and I'm not about playing mind games. If you don't believe me, fine. But why would I got through the trouble of posting something like this to bait people? Do you think I want assholes like that guy harassing and threatening me? I'd rather lead a quiet and peaceful life. I'm not a troll, I'm just a ex-pat Brit trying to live peacefully and head back to the UK with some cash and my girlfriend, and I'm getting jumped in the street by psycho racist conservatives. Sorry if it sounds like BS to some of you, but I told the story out of solidarity, not attention. I'm even sorry I brought it up at this point...

37. If it's true, then don't worry about it

Like I said before, if it went down as you said it did, then you did what you had to do and I commend you for it. Ultimately you know what's true, and that's what really counts. It doesn't really matter what the rest of us think. From my perspective, your story could very well be true or it isn't. I have no way of knowing and neither does anybody else here. Either way, it's really no skin off my back, so I'll take you at your word. No reason not to from where I sit. Some people here are just naturally skeptical, as they've been witness to every time of ploy imaginable from trolls.

Welcome to DU mellowfellowO! It's a great place, but you do have to develop a very thick skin, because it's only a matter of time before people jump on you. It happens to all of us at some point or another. Learn to let it not bother you, like I said, it happens to everyone.

:hi:

[rvablue]

29. I call BS on this post

because anywhere in CA that you would be headed home on foot is most likely urban and in CA cities you aren't going to find a lot of avowed McCain supporters roaming the streets looking for Obama supporters to beat up..........big fail.........

I have seen so many posters putting stories up like this in the past couple of weeks and I sincerely think you do it simply b/c you get some sick pleasure of posting the n-word on DU.

[dems_rightnow]

30. Uh... yeah.

[Lex]

31. Now pull the other one, mate.

[underseasurveyor]

32. Hey.. Know What?

:toast: Cheers

:thumbsup:

[Marr]

33. What is this? You want to a pat on the back or something?

You got into a fight. Fine-- great. Wonderful. You're a big man.

[StreetKnowledge]

34. Racist Pigs

Don't ya just love them? :mad:

[mellowfellowO]

35. sorry I even brought it up...

Some of you lot are worse than the right wingers. So long...

[Forkboy]

36. LOL

Says the one who resorts to violence like the right wingers.

[scheming daemons]

38. You forgot the part where he tried to carve a backwards "J" on your face.....

...contrary to popular belief, not all DUers are gullible.
