The amazing adventures of Dr Evil, Bad boys, bad boys whatch gonna do? Options

[Dr Evil]

So there I was, minding my own business fooling with the front calipers on my Benz in my fenced in lot behind the auto parts store in the ghetto when all of the sudden I hear someone climbing the back fence. I look up to see a guy about 18-21 climbing the fence and I yell at him to get down and not to come into my yard. All of the sudden, I noticed the deputy chasing him and the deputy yels to me, "stop him!" I am thinking, "ya fucken right, what if he is armed?" Well, the guy gets over the first fence as the cop starts up it and preoceeds to run through my yard putting my 4-Runner between him and I. The thug makes it to the other fence which is only about 50 yds away, with the locked gate (I lock the gate becasue people like to sneak up on my when I am working) and begins to scale it. The deputy is almost summitting the first fence and still screaming for me to stop him at this time. I figured that the thug was half way up the fence and thus his hands were busy and decide that now was my best time to strike. I jumped up, ran to the fence, grabbed the thug by the leg as his hands were reaching over the top of the fence, and yanked the sob off of the fence and down to the ground. He gets to his feet and i am standing there now thinking, "Fuck, what the hell is taking the cop so damn long!?" Mean while, I have my hands balled up in fists and am looking at this guy like if he trys anything I am gonna beat his ass. I told him, "Don't fuck with me!" and he said, "alright, fine, ya'll got me. Sheeit." Finally the cop gets to him gasping and none to pleased. Now the thug decides that he is gonna start resisting the cop. The cop has his ASP out and tells the thug, "you better cooperate or you are gonna get beat!" Finally he gets him on the ground and starts to cuff him as his back up arrives. After taking my info they do a search of the path that he took through the yard and find a big bag of pot, and a vial of hash oil. The sarge, a white guy and stereotypical cracker dick was like, "You were probably gonna hide that and save it for later." He then said to his multinational deputies, "see, us white guys are good for some things even though there are not manny of us around 'here'." Ass (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I asked what the guy was suspected of doing and the sarge said, "Oh, he did it. We don't chase innocent people." Prick.

Anyway, that was about the time I decided to go home and work there. I hope to have my car out of there tomarrow as I am sort of afraid of retaliation as I am about 1 mile down the road from gang central for San Diego. I don't want to work there any more. The local fauna are all a bunch a degenerates and people with nothing to lose and everything to prove.

Oh ya, after all was said and done the first deputy comes up to me to thank me and says, "ya, I was worried that he was going for a knife or a gun when you yanked him off of the fence." Brilliant! Remind me then why you requested that I stop him? In hind sight, I think that I woudl have let him go. It wasn't worth the risk.

true. I'm not arguing that if someone steps foot on your property to shoot first ask questions later... but I'm saying that here, if someone breaks into your property, you can defend property here... even if someone is breaking into your car, outside, you have the right to defend that property... should you? that's up to the individual... but there would be no *criminal* act if you DID beat them with a baseball bat... would I? I chased someone off who tried to break into my car a few years ago, and was dumb for doing it... I had a gun, but could have been capped before even seeing them... I wouldn't do it again unless my life or my wife's was threatened... I was young, dumb and full of... whatever...

now, coming into the house is a different game, someone steps foot in, I will not let them get far enough to determine their intentions...

in other states, I know you do not have that same right... a car is not seen as the same as your house and thus not 'protectable' under law.

suing is a different story... if someone wanted to they could sue me at anytime, for almost any reason. and you are right, the fees to get it dismissed would cost me as much as paying him off...
