PS:

These posers are going to grow their confidence in what they get away with one act at a time. I believe that morality is learned. It is our job to teach.

Ever see that picture of the Chinese student in front of that tank in Tianemen Square? I bet this paintball poser was not as big as that tank.

It was right to help out a victim.

It is wrong to permit future victims. Even if it creates a "scene". Who cares if a jerk like that gets embarassed? You think you'll be embarassed by standing up to an idiot like that one?

Or maybe it was just a matter of his size... I weigh 140lbs. I am a small business owner. I serve food in a college town pub crawl. I don't let anyone, drunk or not, tell me the rules at my place of business just because they are bigger than me. MOST of my customers are bigger than me. I have been hit exactly once in seven years of this business. The crowd put that guy in the hospital, because my cause was just. I don't have bouncers, I don't need bouncers, because I always seek to do the right thing.
 

OhhhNooo

I understand...but...

I understand that concept of steal a penny today , next week a quarter, and so on and so forth till the guy knocks over a bank.

But if i had a sandwich and was eating it and some dick came over and took a slice of pickle off the sandwich I'd be pissed off. But than a nice guy comes over and brings me a brand new one. Everything is cool in my book. Plus I was brought up that way. Not to make a big deal over the little things. It would be great if we had Millions of Captain Americas running around and helping people out. Helping little old ladys cross the street and the whole paint situation. But we dont. And the majority of the time people just want to move on with their lives. Their are bigger problems out there to concentrate on. Plus today we live in a world where a lot of people are sue happy. So if I belt a guy in the face for stealing the paint...chances are im getting sued. Sure I could go to the courts and battle my end of it but Im loseing time and money. Neither I have. But thats not the reason I didnt go super hero on the guy. I all ready stated in a previous post why I did what I did.

A lot of people would have reacted different in this situation I know. But maybe my mom and dad didnt hug me enough when I was a kid or something(lol). I did what I did. And I cant go back in time. You may agree with me or not. But like someone posted before. None of you where there. Non of you saw the people I saw or anything.

Ohhhnoo:

I don't think you are a coward.

I don't advocate you hitting anyone, ever.

I don't think you should sue them, either; or they, you.

You say you'd rather worry about bigger things... I say there is no bigger thing. Making that jackass get a little closer to flying straight would be a win for the good guys. And that's all Captain America and you and I are, good guys.

I don't want you to go to hell for not yelling at some guy... I want you to be a teacher to the next one. It is important.
