Is it true?

This is an e-mail I received, and I don't know if its true or not. I have my doubts about it, but it's a comical read non-the-less.

AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2009-05-27, 1:43 a.m. E.S.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason. My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, - on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ...after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what 's going on with that? Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target.

The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).

In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you, but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

yep, this. it has been passed around here and there on the internet for a while. always good for a quick laugh.

[theGinsue]

Yes, this is absolutely hilarious to read but the story was de-bunked years ago as being false (yes, even by snopes).

[Byte Stryke]

funny read all the same

[BigBear]

Shouldn't give me ideas.... hmmmm...... lol, fun read.

[Troublco]

The thing that sucks is that if this (or something like it) ever really happened, the libs would go for it like a magnet and the poor SOB would get hit so hard he'd never see the light of day again.

[bobbyfairbanks]

I dont understand why you get so much flak for protecting your self and executing your 2nd amd rights. I hope the guy in the springs that executed a very effective make my day law comes out clean.

[theGinsue]

I think he will. There has been enough news coverage over the incident and the public opinion is strongly in his favor. Couple that with the fact that he was with a new girl and the "ex" could logically have been expected to continue her shotting to kill both of them.

I think he's safe.
