I was goin to crack him on the back of a head with a tire iron i happened to have in the back of my truck when i recognized him. I didnt care who saw me or what the repercussions would be. The only reason i didnt is because he had his little girl with him, and our history goes back well over 10 years.
I wouldnt be the kind of monster or animal to do that in front of a child.
Since then ive sought help.
Unless your life is in danger, never retaliate using deadly force. You would have killed him or given him permanent brain damage. Thank god his daughter was there! Besides Gunner, that a**hole isn't worth you going to jail for!
Your absolutely right. It was very unlike me and very out of line. I wouldn't do it if given a second chance today. But at that very second I wanted him dead, after somthing extremely traumatic he did to me at that moment I felt he could never hurt enough or be dead enough.
It was the aftermath of analyzing those feelings I realized I needed professional help to deal with that event instead of bottling it. Which has helped me become who I am now.
I've never "seen red" before until that very moment in time. But at that split second I literally saw red and felt disconnected. At that second I didn't care about anything else.
Things could be very different today and I might not be sitting here typing this. So I have to say it turned out for the better. Hearing his little girl snapped me back to reality, I hadn't even realized I'd grabbed the tore iron from my truck. I had a good emotional breakdown afterwards.
I feel that incident made me a better person after the fact.
