Before I even begin, please refrain from the patent pending "what do you expect if you live in California" crap. I expect to live as an American just like you.
Two things have happened over the last year that have really spoken to me. I live at the foot of the Reagan Library. It's a conservative area. Votes GOP in nearly every election. Average income in the low $80K.
The first thing was at a Vons store. A gigantic black green beret was behind me in line. I mention his race and size only because in Simi Valley there are very few Gigantic (and I'm talking huge) black green berets buying oatmeal in Vons. In fact, Simi is pretty white bread. I said, "you go ahead, I have a lot." He kindly refused. I insisted. So he went ahead. The person in front of him insisted he go ahead as well. Then the person in front of that person insisted until the soldier was at the front of the line. He put down his purchases (oatmeal and fruit) and the checker rang him up. Two people raced across the store to scan their own debit cards to pay for his purchases. Hand shakes and thank yous all around. Makes me cry to think of it.
Friday morning I pull into a gas station. I'm in my pj's because I have minor surgery that day and am taking my 16 year old daughter to school. I put the pump into the tank and start the machine. A man comes up behind me and says, "so, how's that vote working for you". I respond, "I beg your pardon?" He says, "your vote, your bumper sticker (Bush Cheney 2004). How's that working for you?" "It's working just fine, thank you," I said and turned away. "You Bushbots are all the same. You don't want to hear the truth. Now people are dying over there," he YELLED. "People died under Clinton, too, pal, in fact had he finished the job instead of getting a "job" in the oval office, we wouldn't have had to go back," I retorted. I turned back to my car and he grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. "Take your hands off me," I said. "There were no weapons of mass destruction and Bush lied....." he started until I shook his hand off my shoulder. "You attack a 50 year old woman in her pajamas at a gas station over a bumpersticker. That's pretty damn low even for a liberal," I said. "What?" he said, "I was only asking you a question."
At this point my daughter starts out of the car going "mooommmm???" (She's a red belt) "Get back in the car," I told her. Then I got in the car, too and we started to leave. As I was leaving he was standing in the gas station yelling "Sieg Heil" and giving me the Nazi salute.
I got a picture of his license plate and filed a complaint at the gas station and at the police station.
Seems the Constitution only applies if you're a liberal. My blood pressure was so high when I got to the hospital they wouldn't even operate. But if the police find this man, he's getting a lesson in civil and criminal court.
Both. She and her husband, also Ex-Army, keep one in each vehicle in easy reach with working batteries. She can use it like a riot baton or to add extra "oomph" in various holds. If you are really interested, I can get some of their tips from them and send them to you.
What a jerk. Completely unable to control himself.
Good. He is likely to pull the same stunt unless someone stops him, and, next time, he might not give-up so easily.
All I have in hand-to-hand defense is three years of boxing lessons from youth. Firearm weaponry is inelegant, and will likely land me in front of a jury, what with politics and all.
You should post a thread! Everyone knows that military folks can defend themselves to their leg hairs.
I'd love just some small h2h tips.
Sure, I'll get some tips from them and send them to you.
This same woman and bring big guys down with some fairly simple moves.
You shouldn't. I've met them before. They never attacked me, but I did have the patrons and waitress keep an eye on the door once after my response to one during dinner in a truck stop. The response was good, so they all figured he'd come back with a shotgun. LOL!
Smart move on the photo. I purchased a extra camera to carry in my pickup for situations like you went through at the station or any other crime I witness...
Handier than a Leatherman.
Yeah, you've been AWOL.
You should have backed over the son of a bitch.
Ciao, I gotta get some sack time.
Thanks, FRiend. Really grateful. Sleep well.
Concealed Carry. It's what's for dinner.
Why didn't she call the cops? I give this story a half star....the other half for BS.
Is this real and not from a Blog?
Next time, he might get the sh-t beat out of him.
Oh a vanity...didn't see that...sorry.
Fortunately, I have not encountered anyone like that, yet. Im pleased to hear this hump is due in court..
Hey, Jeff. Good luck with that cyberstalking-the left has really gone off the rails. You should find a way to spam him with the Limbaugh Letter 3478 times a day...

Thanks, Father.
It's all okay. I got a few shots in at him before I blocked all g-mail addresses. G-mail is Google's web-mail.
[I like being able to call you "Fr", even though I know you're not...]
