"Well, I just slammed my foot on the gas and ran him down - big gun, big smile, big ass and all."

Reminds me of an old short story "The Deadlier Weapon" by Larry Niven.

Long before 'carjacking' was in our language he wrote a story about a carjacker who brought a knife to a brain-fight.

The car-jacker lost, and was humiliated in the process.

For a moment I was speechless. I kept seeing the brutal running down of a human being in my mind's eye. I didn't want to believe it.

"Where did you get the guts to run him down?" I finally asked. "I couldn't have done it."

These are the kind of lines that make my eyes cross. I simply cannot fathom having compassion for a worthless thug who has just threatened my life with a gun in the face. In fact, it is incomprehensible to me that anybody wouldn't do exactly what this Marine did - - run the SOB over. And I'm sure that I would go get my money back from the body and then drive away laughing.

Semper fidelis,
LH

And sleep the sleep of an innocent baby that night as well.

Sounds like urban legend, but a big Semper Fi bump anyway.

Thanks, SandRat.

Tomorrow I head out to confront the Commie Hug-a-Osama puke sucking Leftwing slime. I'll will be a two of their protests. I'll bring my two flags and my two lungs. I'll be outnumbered and surrounded. Unpopular and unforgiven.

At least thats the way it will appear to the enemy. But the reality is that I will have thousands of Marines who have died and fought for Good against Evil, for over two centuries, shoulder to shoulder with me.

May our God Bless and Give us Power to Smite the Evil ones tomorrow....

Poor bastards they don't know the trouble they're in.

Who says "Beedknobs-N-Broomsticks" was JUST a movie.
