So, I may be in trouble...

[UFO]

Great job. 

I agree.

[71green go]

As a Fellow Canuk I salute you!....you did the right thing my friend.......

[69rtse4spd]

Great job. 

[bakerhillpins]

 

Kudos to you, Very happy to hear you acted as you did. Good man.     There are a shortage of folks like you out there.  I am glad that the Police seem supportive of your position.

[TUFCAT]

You did a great thing and that takes courage my man!!!  

I wonder what I would have done?  These days you have to be smart whether you get involved or not?  Like I said that takes guts and conviction. I hope I would have reacted the exact same way faced with the same situation. I truly hope the police and witnesses understand this!!  

keep us posted!

[2Gunz]

You rock!!!

Wish more people where like you.


Fuck that guy.

An update to the dog incident...

The guy agreed to go no further than for me to pay his cost of the dog being taken from him...It's usually $200 when a dog is put in the humane society, so I agreed. (it was in writing, the two cops actually did follow up on things!) However, he was not charged with anything either...maybe they threatened him, I don't know, But it was Sargent Buddy from High school, that came to my door the second time...

Went there to pay up, pooch is in a new home, was charged $50, well, not really charged...they just asked for a donation for all the upkeep and care for all the animals. Fine by me...chapter closed..

Annnd the guy has a sore nose, and his eye was back...sooo, yeah....worth it...


Thanks for the support!

Good on you for standing up and doing the right thing.

[cavemanno1]

A happy end then  That $250 was worth saving that poor dog and bought the a$$hole a sore nose and black eye!   

[2Gunz]

Didnt he hit your first?

Not sure why you have to pay because your a better fighter..   


Regardless thats $250 to be proud of.

[mrsskip68]

I'm soooooooo happy and proud of you!     I rescue and rehome furry kids. What you did demonstrates that there is still people out there with a heart, conceince, and compassion! Lets let it spread like the flu! You rock!!!


And to all:  PLEASE HAVE YOUR PETS SPAYED OR NEUTERED! (micro-chipped, is an even better addition!) Also, as you do spring cleaning, your old towels, blankets, half bags of kitty litter from an oil spill will truely be welcomed as a donation to your local shelter! Volunteers can  usually sign up through your county office.

Lisa, that button part "PLEASE HAVE YOUR PETS SPAYED OR NEUTERED!" I am very offended by  . Lord put us on earth to keep it going, the guy down stairs doesn't want no one on earth. By you saying what you just did, supports the guy down stairs. I'm all for the guy (Lord) upstairs  that wants things on earth to keep it going . The micro-chipped part I don't mind at all, I support that idea alot  . 

[MoparManJim]

Ram07, I am very proud of how you handled the issue and help the dog out  .

The way I look at it is and was always told was this, if he hit you first, then that's assault on his part, not yours. Then he would get charge. You was only defending yourself with your strike back at him. Now if you would have hit him first then that would be assault on your part and not his.   

Again, good job man. Job well handled!   

[Ram07]

Thanks again, the way he was saying it to the police was I pushed him first, so he hit me....no matter now, it's over.

And I may have explained things wrong....The usual charge is $200, they waived that charge (the humane society) because the dog was taken right away...and asked for a "donation"
of $50....

So, it only cost me 50 bucks...

[472 R/T SE]

Those Golden Retrievers could be vicious i know!
Could have taken his arm off of that guy and imagine all the trouble cleaning the blood up,hospital bills paperwork and etc.

Whenever someone comes to the door our Golden goes beserk barking & carrying on so the person at the door is all worried until I open the door & they see it's a Golden. 


Good job taking care of that puppy dog.  I think I might have told the humane society that guy's name in case he shows up wanting to adopt out another victim to abuse.

musta felt good (at our age) putting this guy on his ass.

part about the cops sucks but it makes you feel young again.

[Ram07]

Yeah, little ego boost for sure, but that being said...not to difficult to drop a younger dude that's probably 50 lbs lighter, much shorter, and his hobbies involve video games,(no doubt in his mothers basement) and hitting dogs..., and he was alone....sooo

haha, may be old, but still 6'3, 240 (man boobs may, or may not be happening...had height and weight on my side)

Still, the fact remains...I broke he nose....Who da man, me...that's right...

[Hard Charger]

combat is about surviving.

Having the odds in your favor physically is the only time you want the fight. otherwise run and live to fight another day.

I find the size is a important intimidation factor. thankfully no one has called me on it.

[Ram07]

yes, happy to report, I have never been in a fight, ever, seems silly to me....never got that pissed off at anyone that much before..maybe cuz I'm bigger...they decide not to...who knows...I'm far from a big guy.

But, in this case. i tossed a punch....and hit landed, and it went no further...

If it was two idiots, beating a guy, I would have ignored it...because you just never know what happened, know what i mean?

I'll stick up for furry friends, that's about it...well, unless there is a female involved...

[69rtse4spd]

 . well done.

[TUFCAT]

I've said this before...

"there's a special place in Hell for people who abuse animals"! 

[Ram07]

There was just a "shared" thing on my facebook....a teenage girl tossing puppies in a river...whats wrong with people?

Hope she gets caught...

[charger1972]

I have seen that video on facebook, couldn't watch the whole thing. Really hope they catch her .

[ws23rt]

I too feel an outrage when I see something like this.  And also think I would step in to help the animal in distress.

However food for thought is what would we do when we see someone hitting a child? Do we tend to step back a bit and are less likely to step up?

I was in a check out line the other day and in front of me was a woman with a small child in the cart.  I saw a cell phone fall from the basket to the floor and the child caught hell from the woman. I could see that the child had nothing to do with the cell phone but she took a good smack from the woman and a lecture that she could not understand. (too young).

That little girl was happy and bright until the smack and it was clear to me that she had know idea why she was hit.  The rest of the child crying episode was the woman explaining to me and the checker that the child was a problem.

So my bringing this up is to say I think I could have decked the woman if it was her dog that she hit but felt a resistance because it was a child.

I don't like this.  Why did I resist-- It is rhetorical of course--
