Cruisers attacked Three stories...
****in weird eh? wow a ****in yank is harrassed and he is allowed to
kill . Well here we go 9/11 Maybe you ****in arseholes should start respecting other peoples lives. I know you yanks think you're above the law but maybe if you didn't go round the world thinking that its ok to kill the ****ing natives 'cos, like they are not civilised because like, they're not american then maybe the natives will start actually liking you but for a country founded upon genocide I know that that's a concept a step too far........ oh yeah, I know there a few grammatical errors...... thats if any of you understand the word grammatical On Fri, 01 Aug 2003 20:39:28 GMT, "Larry Starr" wrote: For no rhyme or reason here are three quick true stories (true id's obscured). 1. A couple made their first long hard cruise. Arrive Haiti late afternoon (day one) . Illiterate , brand X officials (3) visit insist on cigarettes and some cash, issue verbal approval for stay. That night same individuals visit again, out of uniform, gotta have gasoline! Next day other boats begin to move in closer and closer. Second night more visits more presents given and the cruiser's shotguns are loaded and kept close. No sleep again. Third day promised more of same and the need to sleep requires they sail away and they're not going back. 2. A frequent visitor to a tropical island was boarded by a knife wielding person intent on robbery or whatever. The sailor shot and killed attacker. Remains went overboard and sailor left immediately. No regrets, no problems. 3. In a Mediteranean port an American was harrassed and assaulted by two hooligans. From fear and inexperience sailor killed the attackers w/ a shotgun. Sailor went to jail. After about 6 months ( in jail ) the full police report revealed that the deceased were bad boys with long records and had been very dangerous. The legal system allowed the sailor to return to his boat to await his murder trial. Sailor rightly presumed that the police/judge were giving him an option to flee, with his boat. He left, no problemo... It seems that, like lightening, an attack anywhere should be avoided, above all, because it is a loser for sure. The only variable is lose how much? In most places guns won't help cuz ; A. They are contraband, legit guy goes to jail. B. Legit guy will be out gunned. Belize is said to be gun-integrated. LS |
