One of my bikes had a flat tire, so I bought an innertube, and went out onto the back porch to change it. You know how when you replace the back tire, and when you try to retighten the bolts on the rim, the chain stubbernly refuses to be taut? It just sits slack, like a limp noodle, almost mocking like. I was so frustrated about the chain, that when one of my friends, Chad came over and asked why was I acting like a lunatic, growling over the chain; as it was, in my present mood, I flipped. I cursed at him, and as I was berating him, I was gesturing with this four foot long cresent wrench... Sadly, he took my waving of the wrench as a threat, and popped me upside the head. I woke up to a horrible pain over my right eye, and found out that I had stitches on my right eye brow... When tempers flare, things happen, as many know. Even best friends turn into jerks at the worst of times. What is even more unsettling, is that no matter what I say or do, Chad is going back to jail. He was recently released because of a Jury ruling in his favour. But because he hit me, it viloated his parol, and there isn't a thing I can do. So this is yet another example of why I think friendship is yet just another form of rivalry, abet; a more subdued form, but still we compete against the best of our friends just to proove a point. No matter how silly it may seem, when someone disagrees with you, and you have it in your mind, that for all the world you are correct, everyone else just seems wrong. You get defencive, start trying to defend your point (No matter how pointless...), and anger is aroused if the other continualy refuses to walk in your shoes for but one second, to just maybe see that for once, you may infact be correct. One persons point of veiw, against anothers can quite litrally be like polar opistites of a magnet. Once the defencive is brought up, no one gives. Untill of course, an incident such as abouve occurs, and out of your remourse for your actions you forgive one another. It maddens me that the "Law" seems to think a matter of friendship is trivial. And that no matter what I say, or do; even though it was ME that got hit, the "Law" refuses to beleive that I have a choice in the matter. They refuse to aknowledge that the incident of their scruntiny is in all reality completly worthless to condem another, simply because a persons temper got the best of him. Do the "Big-wigs" sitting on wall street get upset? Do Grand Jury's get upset, and maybe, just one time let emotion cloud their judgment? They are not God! So of course they do. Yet no one but me seems to realize this "Act of Injustice" is the thing that is trivial, not my friendship. "Justice" and our "Freedom of speech" has been taken away. The very government our fore fathers invented, and created is now shambles. The body of powers meant to serve us in a time of need has turned the other cheek. It is now US that serves the Government. How sad is it that the american dream is lost, and our freedom is continualy revoked. Now all along the coast line, and the borders of any other country, there is a one hundred mile "wall" around us, that if we happen to be near, "Law Inforcement" has the right to take away our constitutional rights, and our freedom of speech. This "Law" was placed around the country with almost no notice to the public. Though news archieves do exist to give proof to this horrible prospect. Simply go to google and type in: "Contitution Free Zones" or "Free speech zones" you will be shocked at the discovery. We are not a free people, we are slaves in our own abodes.
Paragraphs would have been helpful, but I was able to follow the OP just fine. In a nutshell, Chad was on probation, got violent and landed in jail. I don't see the problem. People like that belong in jail. If he were released because you vouched for him out of friendship, Q, he wouldn't learn that actions have consequences, and he'd have no incentive to restrain himself in the future. Maybe he'll learn from this.
I know about rage. I get enraged when trying to read something that might be interesting and it's hard work to sort it out for lack of paragraphs and punctuation. So, who do I punch?
Well I dont know why everyone was so cut about no spaces. Yeah they could have helped but I could read it fine. Anyway, I can see you are angry, and the deal with your friend seems a little dodgy, but I'm not quite sure what exactly happened or what you point was. Do you mind summarizing or giving a dot pointed contention, if that's at all possible?
