To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2009-03-23, 3:43 A M EST

I was the guy with the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to apologize. I didn't expect you to crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 A CP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening.

Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it? I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again.

I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation...I also bought myself and four other people in the gas station this morning a tank full of gas on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet. I threw the wallet in a fancy pink "pimpmobile" parked at the curb after I broke the windshield and side window out and keyed the driver’s side.

I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cellphone. They'll be on your
bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Ma Bell just shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service. I could only get in two threatening phone calls to the D A 's office and one to the FBI with it. The FBI guy was really pissed and we had a long chat (I guess while he traced the number).

I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky...

PS. Remember this motto...an armed society is a polite society!

Love it. Hope it's true.

Sounds an awful lot like a gun proponent fantasy.

I wish it was true!!

How cool would it be to surprise a mugger with a hand-held howitzer? Just the look on the asshole's face would be worth it. I'd be pretty tempted to shoot, though. "He was coming right for us!"

no doubt, cause the poster is now admitting to committing several crimes.......

Alas, as much as I love my shiny pistol, it is indeed, as Willravel called it.. a "gun proponent fantasy."

I've seen it in about 15 different iterations:

Here's the "South Central" one.. you'll note it was a Gold Cadillac instead of a pink, etc., etc.

It would be cool if it really happened.

Everything happens on CL or in Florida now.
