Big T hears this and comes back out and slaps dude real fuckin' hard across the back of the head to where his hat flew off and the dude stumbled forward.

Good of your mate to stick up for you like that.

Man that must've felt so good to see some uniformed fat-ass who has been terrorizing your neighbourhood for five years flee the scene on a stolen bike, bullets flying by his ears.

I almost wish I'd have been there to witness it.

If a dude breaks into my house in the night and I wake up and catch him, I will kill him. Kill the fuck out of him. This is just the times we live in.

We will evolve past violence. There will be a time in the future where it's a thing of the past.
Think about it, we are still bands of different countries at this point on the Earth. Tribes fighting one another.
We have a long, long way to go but we'll get there. The world will unite once technology really starts taking off, not just stupid shit like CD players and whatnot but teleportation, nanotechnology and genetic engineering, Deep space exploration.

We are in the fucking caveman days right now, we are a fucking PRIMITIVE species. Of course we are still attacking one another, and we should be.

In short, a firestorm, to purify.

If a situation has evolved to the point where peoples lives or health are in real danger, and no other option is available, then it is time to use violence. At this point you bring as much overwhelming force as can be mustered and end the situation as quickly as possible. In this situation violence is not crap. The situation is clearly crap, but violence is the unfortunate answer.

If we are talking about a sporting event in which things are at least under some kind of control, and this is understood by everyone involved, also not crap. Boxing, UFC, hockey, that sort of thing. I'm not even sure this is violence in the same sense. No one is really trying to kill anyone else.

In pretty much any other situation I can think of violence is crap. Not that I am above doing something stupid once in a while myself.

Nope, was pretty awesome. I would give anything to hear them tell the story to someone in broken English.

and yes there is a 'Little T' out there as well. Big T and little T. There's also a dude who looks exactly like Charles Manson named 'Curd' No clue what 'Curd' is short for or why they call him that but it even says 'Curd' on his work shirt. Our warehouse is a weird place to spend any amount of time.
Oh yeah, best Curd story...we were talking about music and he pulls out a CD, it's Montrose. That was Sammy Hagar's pre Van Halen band, right? Anyway, he holds it up and says 'this shit right here is fuckin' POWERFUL, man. Fuckin' POWERFUL'
I heard him out in his car listening to Frank Zappa real fuckin' loud this morning when I was coming in. Curd's alright.

For anyone who really wants to seriously delve into this topic, the justifiably acclaimed author William T. Vollmann has written a 7 volume opus about when violence may or may not be justified:

There's an abridged version as well, which I can vouch for.

The amount of output Vollmann generates is astounding. I can't imagine he has much time to get mothered by San Francisco prostitutes any more.

Oh, and I own the first ed. of Infinite Jest with "Vollman's" name misspelled on the back. Yeah....it's signed.

It completely depends on the situation.

Driving in LA has definitely gotten the better of me on a few occasions. I have never resorted to getting out of my vehicle for a roadside throw down, but I have fucked with people who have 1) caused an accident and tried to flee when injuries to the other party were evident, and 2) cut me off so badly that I had no other choice but to go off the road completely, which I was able to recover from only to have them continue to swerve all over the road so I was unable to pass as they repeatedly slammed on the brakes almost coming to a dead stop at times.
The second incident pissed me the fuck off because it was clear that they were doing it for no reason other than to fuck with someone.
Old piece of shit Crown Vic with four of five guys, shaved heads, hanging out the windows being dicks. The fact that I was a white chick, unarmed and driving alone never even entered my mind. Fuck 'em, I was pissed. Seeing as I was driving a big giant truck, (raised Chevy 2500) and I was sober, I had the advantage. I really wanted to do some damage, but I just followed them over the hill until it opened up to 4 lanes, pulled up along side of them and paced them for about 5 miles as they tried to get away from me. I finally dropped back and let them over so they could get on the freeway and they drove away.

I felt badass....for about two seconds, then I realized what an idiotic thing I had just done. I was fully in control the entire time, but all it would have taken was a kid running out in the street chasing his ball for the whole thing to have turned tragic. Just isn't worth it.

I'll tell ya what though, I have absolutely no qualms whatsoever about ejecting belligerent junkie scum fuckheads from our place of business after being punched in the back of the head by the fat cunt. Times like that are what big ass motorcycle boots, heavy wooden double doors, baseball bats and a bar full of 100 of your closest friends, are made for.

You just keep your fingers crossed that the CCTV camera is pointed in the other direction when they are tossed onto the sidewalk.

There are definitely times when resorting to violence is a must. Problem is a lot of people can't differentiate that line because they are fucking idiots. Those are the ones you gotta watch out for.
