Last night I was coming back from my office in SE Washington DC,when a kid, probably 16-17 years old, comes up to me and tries hit me with a wrench. Now the kid is breathing through a tube at the hospital, AND he's gonna go to jail. DC residents, check it out, i think i made the news!

so what? take the wrench off him give him a punitive beating, that's fine, But sending the kid to hospital is beyond harsh, especially if he's breathing through a tube.

no its not....the kid new exactly wtf he was doing, stop defending thugs.
I'm not defending thugs, but a marine vs. a kid with a wrench is hardly an even match up. I'm not saying the mugger didn't deserve a beating, just that if he's on a breathing tube in hospital he must be pretty ****ed up, not exactly exemplary behavior.

Its perfect beaviour .... its a warning to other muggers ...

And they deserve everything they get. If that kid didn't want to get beaten up he shouldn't have attacked a large man ... its common sense really

People have tried to rob me or my house a few times and usually they ended up getting a severe beating but to leave some 16 year old breathing through a tube is really quite extreme. You say your a Marine, in that case you could easily just given the thug a few hard punchs and knocked him to the ground and waited for the cops to arrive without needing to resort to leaving him fighting for his life. I`m not condoning him but you shouldn`t lower yourself to his level.

clearly, I doubt the kid had much common sense then, all the more reason for not sending him to intensive care.

If a normal sized man, 25 years of age tries to hit person A with a wrench and person A sends said 25-year old to hospital to breath out of a tube, would that be right?
Remember, just because a person is 16 years old doesn't necceserily mean that the person is small.
What if the kid had succeded in hitting Felix with the wrench? What has Felix done to deserve death?
Assault with a deadly weapon is a pretty serious thing.
And seriously people: do you really think you can control how injured a person gets when you hit him? You only punch him with half-strength?
When it comes to self-defence you hit hard or you don't hit at all.
You learn from your mistakes. The kid made a mistake and will probably not try to hit people with wrenches in the future.
Felix, you did the right thing.

He's actually hospitalized under guard right now at Howard University Hospital.
Is it a possibility that the kid was living in poverty and had to steal to get something?
Fine, granted, thats possibly true. He was possibly looking for drugs. But oddly, I didn't consider all those possibilities when wrenches were being swung at me. I grew up on the streets too, some people may remember me mentioning i was quite the little gang member back home in California, and did time in the California Youth Authority. I know were this kid comes from, and I also know that he probably knows that he got what was coming to him.
You say your a Marine, in that case you could easily just given the thug a few hard punchs and knocked him to the ground and waited for the cops to arrive without needing to resort to leaving him fighting for his life. I`m not condoning him but you shouldn`t lower yourself to his level.
Fine, I see your point. But let me clarify: Ex-Marine, I got out of the service in mid 2002, and this wasn't just any old kid, he was actually decent sized, i'd say about 6"2, 215 maybe, pretty tall, pretty hefty, fat wise.
Its perfect beaviour .... its a warning to other muggers ...
Exactly. I walk down that street every day, and every day I see the same people. Now all the kids freinds are gonna know that unless they want to get beaten to within an inch of their life, they should stay away. Thats how the inner-city works.

Well, I do partially agree with you. Felix definatly did well in defending himself which was his right. However, breathing from a tube insinuates (correct me if I'm wrong) thorough and near-deadly techniques being used and the man who defended himself was a marine, which are trained fighters.
to be fair, felix has cleared things up a bit, though it still seems a tad harsh it's not as bad as it first was made out to be.

Let me tell you that if someone jumped me with a wrench, I would have tried to kill him too. After I killed him, I'd would have givenfirst aid and brought him back to life just so I could have beaten him to death a second time.

10-23-2004, 02:46 PM
Personally, I would have tried quite hard not to put him in hospital breathing through a tube (broken elbows or kneecaps issue the same lesson without the life-threatening part), but I can't really criticize the actions taken. If someone threatens you, you neutralize the threat. Again, not sure I would have taken the same approach, but ... I wasn't there so...
For the record: if you were a white guy in South Africa, and the "victim" was black you would be in jail right now, I kid you not. There was an article in my local newspaper 2 days ago: 2 criminals tried to rob another guy of his firearm. The guy responded by using his weapon to shoot the 2 would-be robbers (makes sense, doesn't it?) The end-result is that the two would-be robbers are in hopsital, treatment paid for by the government, and the "victim" is in jail, being charged with attempted murder. This is the weird and wonderful world of "law and order" in South Africa.
It's very strange... but if a guy breaks into my house and I wake up to see the guy standing over me in my bedroom... my natural response would be to shoot him. This, however, would land me in jail - unless I can PROVE that he was trying to kill me or my wife (and having a weapon in his hand does not constitute proof in the eyes of South African law). And you guys are bitching about the right to own an assault rifle? You should try a bit of "law and order" in "democratic Africa" :P

I'm sorry, but you need help. "Making it their duty"????? sorry, but this is crap. If I met a guy on my block with this attitude, I'd probably beat the living **** out of him.
On a side note: it would make an interesting battle: 2 airborne dudes from different continents battling over ethical issues :) On that note, I've read a number of stories which indicate a "drop and give me 10" attitude on the part of the airborne crowd (including "The Finishing School" about SEALs) this cannot be true... surely?

It seems incredible to me that the US airborne units ask for 10 - our Catering Corps have to do more than that?

I think that who ever write that crap was merely stating that they do press ups and chose 10 as a random number. Whatever you may read in Official locations about what kind of exercise the Airbourne (or any other unit does) you can bet that they do alot more when they are there and actually doing it.

I feel I need to respond with more details now, as some people seem to be feeling sorry for him, and are thinking that i'm "harsh"
Let's hear some details of the fight. Where you hit him, how he approached you in the first place, etc
Ok, here we go:
I left my office, near P street, Southeast Washington DC, which is a very crime-ridden area. Any DC residents here may remember the "P-street gang" back in the late 80's, early 90's, with the crack epidemic.
Anyway, I leave the office at about 10-11, after playing some basketball with some of the kids I work with(I work at a rehab type center for former gang-members, youth offenders etc etc)
I'm walking down the street, and out of an alley to my left comes this kid, with one hand in his shirt. As he gets closer to me, he pulls out the wrench, and says something like "Im gonna **** u up spic" or some similair ****, and takes a swing at me with the wrench, in a downward motion.
Thats when things went bad for him. I caught his hand as it came down, and twised his arm behind his back, and got the wrench, and tossed it. He wrangled free, so I gave him a right to the throat. He grabs his throat, so I go for his stomach. For all I knew, he had a knife or something. He takes a step back, then tries swing at me again. I parry that, and then give him one to the nose, and then another one to the jaw. He starts bleeding, falls down. I kick him a couple times, get him in the stomach, the throat, and the mouth, the face, and for good measure, the groin. Soon after the cops come.
And to those of you who question whether the kid "needed to commit a crime in order to survive the night":
What the **** do I care? I dont care about this kids night. I care that wrenches are being swung at me.
And why even ask what he was wearing? What kind of pointless comment is that? He was wearing jeans and the same t-shirt at hundreds of thousands of african-american youths in DC. Should I have let him off easier cuz he wasn't wearing "nice" clothes?
To those of you who think I did the right thing, thank you.
To those of you who don't, lets hope you meet a kid like this on the street one day, see how much they appreciate you.

Yeas, this might be possible... but here is a thought for you - do you think that because of what happened in the past, some black south africans may "go out of their way" to commit crimes "against" white people? And, do you think that the current law encourages this?
In my opinion, crime is crime - irrespective of race. Isn't that what a non-racial country is about? I cannot condone crime, or the use of the law to favour the criminal. No matter what happened in the past. How exactly am I supposed to "go out of my way to defend myself" if I wake up to find a guy standing over my bed?? Or rather, what is the appropriate response? Should I invite him to have a cup of tea, in an effort to negate past racist government laws? What would YOU do under the same circumstances?

good on you.
Im so sick of people whinging about their "rights" in a society.
They should learn there are responsibilies and consquences for their actions, such as getting the snot kicked out of you if you try and attack someone.
I bet the kid will think twice before doing anything like that again. And yes, a wrench is a deadly weapon, it could have cracked your skull clean open !.
And some here are complaining hes in hospitial :cantbeli:

People have too many rights these days ... its seen as a ticket away from responsibility.

Last night I was coming back from my office in SE Washington DC,when a kid, probably 16-17 years old, comes up to me and tries hit me with a wrench. Now the kid is breathing through a tube at the hospital, AND he's gonna go to jail. DC residents, check it out, i think i made the news!
One very happy Marine

Well, then it sounds like you did the right thing. Good job.

Wow, its amazing how morally-bankrupt some people are to blame the damn victim for getting assaulted. Holy ****. I bet if felix ended up in a hospital because he decideded to go soft on the kid, and the kid stabbed him, all you thug-defenders would shru git off and say too bad, or something.

Downtown D.C. sucks...
My uncle (former USMC) owned the largest sheet metal contractor in D.C. for the longest time (Clinton came down for a photo op once) till his brother in-law got shot in the gut once on one of the truck docks.... needless to say they moved the company out of the area...
Funny how it's the central part of our states government yet one of the most crime ridden areas of our country!!!

I forgot to mention something by the way:
This attack happened beacause of Halflife: opposing forces
You use a wrench in that game and the kid wanted to do it in real life.
See, in the game you use and survive, which is a good thing, so obviously children will think it's a good thing to hit people with wrenchs.
I move for a ban on that game before more people gets hurt.
Just wanted to say it before that Thompson guy.

Jesus what an overtalked load of BS.
Felix, I was attacked by a kid also. He had a knife, and he cut me before I even knew he was trying to rob me.
End result: He had $12 on him. He got lucky.
When someone is swinging a weapon at you, you do what you have to do.
Thats it. Exactly what happens to the meatsack you are hitting at the moment is irrelevant. You get out the other side.
