You hear him telling a friend in the getaway car to be ready cause as soon as he steals your tv he will be out the door and they will have to make some tracks. You have a 44 mag, loaded and ready, but decide that instead of using the make my day law and and putting a 24 cent bullet in his head you will allow him to hang himself and just call the cops as soon as he is gone. As he slinks out your front door he drunkenly drops his wallet. As he drives away with his haul that he thinks is a 42 inch plasma to sell at the pawn show to feed his crack habit, little does he know that it was left on a freeze frame for 24 hours and now has the permanent ghost of dora the explorer burned into the screen. So no big loss to you. You look into the wallet and lo and behold there is $623 in cash and an unemployment check.
Do you feel the need to call him up and let him know that he left his wallet at your house?. Hell no you go buy a new TV. The only thing that would be wrong is if you tried to cash his unemployment check. For those of you that feel sorry for him, just remember that there was a justification to shoot him in the skull.He was in your house. He tried to rob you. He insulted your kid. etc etc. He was lucky that you showed restraint, and is able to go on with a chance to change his life in the future.
If you are a bleeding heart for this poor college kid come play me plo so when you suck out on me I can ask for my money back, because I really shouldn't have been playing a game with such high variance.
BUt regarding the mooley comment, it was a parallel to calling Eminem a wigger. It is not reflective on all whites just the kind that are wiggers. The justification just is not shown in the chat log, it came from the phone conversation. Apologies to all mooleys or wiggers that are offended.
First, your analogy doesn't really fit. He didn't steal anything from you, did he? I don't understand why you constructed the scenario involving a stolen tv having an image of Dora the explorer burned in it, but whatev. You think its cool to scam someone out of 500 bucks from someone you strongly suspect was out to scam you (but didn't, and you cant be certain of his intent without proof) but not to cash an unemployment check belonging to someone who actually stole from you? Really?
Second, I'm not defending what he tried to do. From the sounds of it he was almost definitely out to take your money. And my PLO game is terrible, can I suck out on you in stud/8?
Third, assuming that you were 100% certain that this guy was out to scam you, the way you ****ed with him was funny and I enjoyed reading the entire chat log. All I'm saying is you scammed him, whether it's right or wrong.
Fourth, I wasn't making a big deal of the mooley comment, but that last sentence will probably get a worse reception than the first time you said it.
At any rate, i hope the purported scammer **** his pants and learned his lesson. Sounds like a real prick IMO.
