Is this not a judgement on your part? Unless there is something I'm missing from your narrative, the english translation of what happened is your friend got offended at being man-handled and did an obscene amount of damaged in revenge.
It would seem to me even though you call yourself followerofchrist, you still give some approval to the action because you are choosing to rename the act in terms that blame the victim of your vandalism.

I mentioned I was an atheist (and 18 years old) and revenge was very much on the table then.
"Unless there is something I'm missing from your narrative, the english translation of what happened is your friend got offended at being man-handled and did an obscene amount of damaged in revenge."
Man-handled? That's the word for physical violence. Shoving a 6 foot tall woman so hard she falls to the ground?

If you read my posts, you would have caught the part about my not being a Christian then. I became a Christian a little over a year ago. Yes, we vandalized his van, but I really don't regret it, though I should. I certainly would never do it again. Today I would have urged my friend to file battery charges.
I take exception to your sympathizing with a violent drug dealer and calling him a "victim." I'll answer to God for throwing poop in his van, but ye reap what ye sow. At 18 years old, what were we supposed to do? File charges and fear retaliation from a violent drug dealer? We did what seemed fitting at the time.
