Violence

My neighbor, who is a single mom with two kids, who is taking classes at Hamilton College, who will graduate in July, whose telephone is getting cut off tomorrow because she cannot afford to pay right now...well, there was this creepy guy who kept on driving in front of our apartment and in the alley, especially when her kids were outside playing. She was frightened, scared that he would do something to her children...she was upset, she said "I don't want anything to happen to my children!" You could see the fear in her eyes. I've seen nothing of this sort before.

She called the police and reported him.

Two weeks later, a 12 and 13 year old were standing alone outside of Hy-Vee and were persuaded by the creepy guy to go back to his apartment, where he took nude photos of them and molested them.

The police visited my neighbor and asked them to identify the man...she correctly identified him and he was arrested.

Well now...I think of what I would have done if I had seen the man trying to do something to the children. And you want to know the truth? I would probably do something violent, maybe take a large rock and smash it against his head, maybe take a crowbar and bash him into the ground. When it comes to something like this, I would use violence. I would not hesitate to defend the children.

If I were put in prison, I would feel that I had done the right thing.

These kinds of things happen everyday. You must be ready to react.

So, you who are fucked up in the head, stay the fuck away!

That's a sick story, man. I don't like violence myself, not in the real world (some of the computer games I used to play, though I thought were fun), but in terms of self-defense I think it has to be used. We don't live in a perfect world.
