Now someone will probably go ahead and Snopes this and post that it isn't real...

But why take all the fun out of a great story?!?!?!

"To the Guy Who Mugged Me in Downtown Savannah"

"I was the white 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 stuff 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 1911 .45 ACP 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 some gas on your card. 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, then I threw the wallet itself in a dumpster. I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Alltel recently 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 was about to make some threatening phone calls to the DA's office with it.

Oh well. So, about your pants...

I know that I was a little rough on you when you did this whole attempted mugging thing, so I'd like to make it up to you. I'm sure you've already washed your pants, so I'd like to help you out. I'd like to reimburse you for the detergent you used on the pants. 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...

So if you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch -- and laundry!

Peace bro! Alex"

Well, I first got this in email from someone who claimed it was from the Jan 6 Craigslist in Savannah GA. In the Rants and Raves section, so I hauled over there to check out the validity. Apparently Craigslist had taken the original post off of there, but there were enough responses to it which followed over the next couple of days to validate it IMO. So I think it was probably a real post...now whether it really happened is another story....and BTW, I'm not surprised that it was pulled off of Craigs list, as the poster admits to several crimes on the post (stealing the muggers wallet, stealing his phone etc)...no matter how justified it actually was.

Maybe it did, or didn't happen. Makes a good story though.

The intended victim was a lot nicer than some folks would have been, and the whole robbery at knife point thing is serious and a felony anyway. Thug started it; sometimes the good people come out on top in real life.

My reading doesn't have the intended victim doing crime; maybe I missed something.

Do not lose sight of just who the bad guy is in this incident. If thug lost his stuff, oh well.

If I was to worry about something besides the attempted armed robbery, it would be who is the next intended victim of that thug? The next victim might be a member of your family or of mine. Thug pulled a knife and threatened to use it? The answer to thugs offering violence to us is plain and simple.

Us good people have rights too, and thugs have responsibilities as well. Thugs do a lot to avoid that word "responsibility". Sometimes real life forces consequences upon thugs, even though they & some others don't like it.
