The year before last one of my coworkers was riding in a pack of bikes with his buddies and some jackasses threw a recliner or something out the back of a truck, in front of them(racially motivated?). Everyone in the front of the pack saw it but he was in the back. By the time he saw it, it was too late to dodge it. He hit it, lost control and ended up in the side of a tree in the woods(RIP bro). On heck of a nice guy too, had a wife and a young child. He was probably 22 yrs at the time.
This **** has got to stop. As far at fistfighting.. I have absolutely no problem with that(I prefer it actually), I'll go at it with someone bigger than I(have many times) and not think twice. Only problem is, not everyone thinks this way and someone will surely pull a weapon in the face of ultimate demise. If everyone was carrying a gun then even the little guy would get the respect he deserves. Isn't that what we are shooting for?? Equality for all. Isn't that civilazation?
Stanger8172, I appreciate your view. I was once 21 as well .. I turn 34 next weekend and can tell you this.. I don't back down
