Aside from his irreverence with the Almighty's name, it was well-written and revealed what happens to people that are simply living life and minding their own business.
I don't have a problem with him quoting the bad guy, and I don't have a problem with run-of-the-mill wordy-derds. I do have a problem with a believer using the Lord's name without reverence. There are many ways to convey strong emotion without giving God an unflattering last name.KC5AV wrote:Whether quoting the bad guy, or not. It wasn't necessary. It would have been just as effective to state that the guy was cursing... at least IMHO.

It amazes me how many people do this as a way of life.
On the way to church that morning & talk like this.
I will never understand it.
They would never go to a friends house & use that friend's name that way.
I suspect the world has always been this way, it's just that we're more aware now--we have access to information more than we did in the past.stevie_d_64 wrote: It does kinda stink when most of the time you have to keep your head on a swivle...But that is the world we live in...
at pre-teen, what defensive things she could do. but that's another topic for another thread.
I, too, walk with a limp from past auto accidents, and I've had a close call at our local Wal-Mart that is just off the freeway. I think the proximity to the freeway is a frustration, because the BG's can harm you and be gone before the LEO's arrive. Had it not been for an alert security guard at that same Wal-Mart, my neighbor's Granddaughter would have been snatched and taken to Mexico by coyotes to work the cocaine fields and plants. Her Mom is now getting her CHL, at my suggestion. We talked for over an hour on my front porch, and she wept and got it off her chest.dukalmighty wrote:I gotta give him credit for his situational awareness,even tho he's a big strong man he observed something that seemd out of line and continued to observe until it became apparent he was being targeted,then he formulated a quick defense and ruined their plans.I being handicapped feel like i have a big red target on my back daily,I'm always in condition orange,My balance stinks,and I cannot run or move quick,all somebody has to do is get behind me grab my wallet and push me and i'm eating concrete,but as soon as i can get in position to draw game over.People have been killed over tennis shoes,I have to be of a mindset ,not if but when and keep scanning the lot and people lurking or closing in close enough proximity to be a threat,oh yeah if it's 95 degrees out and somebodys got their hoodie hiding their head i'm at condition red
Our Zip Code was issued over 400 CHL's last year ... the highest for any Zip Code in Texas. In addition, Statewide, the highest number of CHL's went to those in their 60's, next highest to those in their mid to late 50's. That ought to be telling us something about how the silent, greying, majority is really thinking.
