The NIGH****CHMAN - 6/30 - Wednesday

Good afternoon.  Last day of the month.  Half the year gone by.  I always thought the older you got, the slower it would be for time to go by.  I don't know why I thought that, maybe I hoped it. 

Some excitement with the family early this morning.

I received a call from my son at 2AM.  That is never a good thing.   

He was woken up by his neighbor pounding on his door. His neighbor had come outside to smoke a cigar.  He heard a loud noise.  It was a motorcycle falling over.  At this point the neighbor noticed my son's motorcycle was not in the driveway. The neighbor looked down the block and the guy had picked up the motorcycle and was walking it away.  The neighbor pounded on Brad's door.  When Brad came to the door, he told Brad what he saw.  Brad ran in to get his gun (he has a CHL).  Meanwhile, the neighbor and Oleta had run down the block to the guy with the motorcyle.  Why the guy did not just leave the bike and run is beyond me. 

Brad held the gun on him until the police got there.  After getting all the statements, they tried to put cuffs on the guy.  He resisted.  Tasers come out and he gets zapped.  Pees his pants.

At this point they have to call the Sargent and medics because they had used the taser.  The Sargent arrived and asked my son why he did not just shoot the guy.  

Bottom line, the guy was arrested.  My son got his bike back.  And I had to call him to make sure he got up this morning (that is why he called me). 


Just a reminder, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS  AND SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.

If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested).  Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Wow, what an exciting night at your son's house.  I would be so proud of the restraint he showed in not shooting the guy!! He would have had to live with himself if he had killed him and could have been sue by his family. Maybe not successfully but it still would have made it a bigger nightmare! He did the right thing!

That is exactly what my son said on FB.  Several people said he should have shot him.  My son said if he tried to run, or if he came at me, I would have.  But he just sat down on the curb waiting.  My son said he could have easily shot him, but then he would have to live with it.  He is a good Christian boy.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
