AN ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD​

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.​

Date: 2011-11-27, 1:43 am . 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 was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber
Custom 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 crap 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 153 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.​

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, Semper Fi,​

Alex​

Not sure if anyone saw this but I thought if was postable.

That's been floating around for a while. Even longer than the date on there, I believe. A member on a concealed carry forum I used to frequent posted this and a "Snopes"-style follow up on it which proved it all but false. For one thing, the "Marine" broke several federal and state laws and would be going to jail, himself. If I recall, the Secret Service and FBI both denied having received any threats or phone calls that matched this incident description and weren't cleared up. Several other discrepancies and inconsistencies with it, as well.

Somehow I had a feeling it was this one again when I saw "Craigslist"...

Funny, and something we'd all love to do... but not true.

Here's your Monday AM 411: Not everything you read on the internet is true:

"...This piece began its life as a 6 January 2009 post to Craiglist, a forum for local classified ads and discussions in more than 550 cities. It was quickly removed by that entity, lasting no more than a day or two on that site, but nevertheless was picked up and sent around in e-mail by those it resonated with.

There was no mugging: the whole tale was a work of fiction meant to help its author work off some steam from having had his home broken into. Of its creation, he says "I mean, all it took was a couple of beers, some aggravation towards the local criminal population, and five to ten minutes at the keyboard."

I figured, I get all these "cute" little stories from other people that I usually discard without reading but this one provided a small amount of entertainment.

Posted for entertainment only. Thanks for the update.
