Indolikaa Khan: The Peacekeeper

[indolikaa]

No, seriously!


Last week, I was driving home from work when I got blown off the road by some ******* with a, shall we say, poorly maintained vehicle. Normally I don't get too upset by people who pass me at high speeds, but this wad had three things going against him:

1) He was coming from the opposite direction,
2) He was in my lane,
3) He had crossed a double-yellow line.

Not knowing if the reason he was weaving was because the duct tape was failing on his suspension, or he was drunk, I radio'd ahead to dispatch that there was Quantity One, Certified Whacko, on the back road. Lo and behold, there was a marked vehicle within reach! Indolikaa happy.

So, being the instigator that I am, I turn around and head back to watch the fireworks. I get around a sharp turn to find the vehicle parked in the middle of the road. Judging by the debris field, I'd say he blew an engine. I parked to block traffic so others coming upon this blind turn wouldn't run into either of us, and then I threw some flares out on the road. The guy told me to get behind his vehicle and start pushing so we could get the car off the road. He didn't ask, he instructed. Right...

Rather than push the car, I pushed Certified Whacko to the ground and, for lack of a better word, hogtied him. My profanity knowledge was exponentially increased during our brief wait for assistance, as Mr. Whacko wasn't happy about his current situation. And he was very unhappy when the police officer found about 22 cans of empty beer in his car. But he really got pissed when he handcuffed him properly and Mirandize him. I guess getting caught with a few felony warrants isn't a good thing?

Of course, Mr. Whacko informs everybody on-scene that we're all going to be sued until we're bled dry. And yes, if he could just get out of the car, he'd bury us all and leave no evidence of our misdeeds. And of course, I'm the illegitimate son of a whore, etc., etc., etc. Finally, after about five minutes of this, Mr. Whacko spits on the officer. And then he spits on me.



I carry four weapons in my vehicle: a gun, a breaker bar, and two fists. They are for protection. I have only had to draw that gun in fear for my life once, but I've taken the breaker bar out of the trunk on a few occasions. Now I've been known to partake in a good barfight from time to time, and it's not like I'm afraid to engage anybody in front of a police officer, I don't care how much trouble I might get into. But this time, I chose none of the above weapons.

I walked away.


When the story got out about this incident, my friends were stunned. In fact, they thought there might be something wrong with me. Indolikaa Khan would allow someone to spit on him and not face the consequences? Are we in Wonderland? Is the world coming to and end?

Yes, I did walk away.

Why ruin a perfectly good civil lawsuit by punching the guy in the face? It would make that dashboard camcorder's work for naught, don't you think?

[gitreel]

yep

[DVD_Ripper]

Yes, an excellent decision on your part... especially in front of police and video.

[Capmaster]

If I were that guy, I would be more concerned about you walking away than if you had clocked the guy. He's probably wondering "what's he going to do ...."

What you did shows maturity, restraint and intelligence. Good show Indo

[VCDHunter]

Good call on your part. I wouldn't have been able to restrain myself though - he spat in your face whilst cuffed ? I'd have battered the ****** there and then, coppers or not. I'm fuming sat here thinking about it now

[indolikaa]

Restraint is not one of my stronger qualities.


However, I held back not because I feared civil or criminal retribution, but because I felt like the officer deserved better. The rest of his day was shot to hell because of this guy, why should I add to his misery?

Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age...

Cops have a good ability to beat the hell out of u w/o leaving a mark. I'm sure that guy got it later on with a pillowcase full of oranges or the like

I could be mistaken, but Indo knows what's on my mind, and I doubt he'll get involved. But then again, he may be itching for a "listen up, dumbasses!"

Sorry, you'll have to take a number.

I've got a couple of wads from last night I'm keeping my eye on. :P

It's good to hear you weren't smashed apart or killed in a front-end highway collision.
