Punched a car this evening....

[thegrumpybiker]

No one should expect any damage done to their property full stop.

Not saying it's right or wrong, but you should expect it if you behave like a complete c*nt and casually endanger someone's life for no good reason whatsoever. That's just what happens.

My step daughter came up to visit with her two young sons (one in a pushchair.)
They only live just over a mile away so we walked them home (Wife, myself and my Nine year old.)

Were nearly all the way across when an approaching driver decides to express his displeasure at a mere bunch of peds on his road by leaning on his horn and swerving at me.

No one should expect any damage done to their property full stop.

So its ok to nearly wipe out 3 generations of a family but its not ok to punch the car ? what colour is the sky in your world

Panter ... you should've dragged the tosser out of his car and given him a beating he'l never forget

Not in defense of Anarchism

No one should expect any damage done to their property full stop. If you are so keen in dispensing justice, become a constable, prosecuting solicitor or a judge. If you want to dispense with justice join an anarchist group.

I think the issue is that when the framework for dispensing justice is sketchy then people normally find an alternative means. Nonetheless, self-control is a rare and yet precious trait for it allows one to think clearer.

Finally, I must say that I disagree with your examples. Whilst it is fundamentally a flawed ideology, it is hard to argue that most advocates of anarchy (even those odious little fashonistas that smoke spliffs and smash up McDonalds at the nearest given opportunity of a GX conference) join the cause or follow the ideology out of a disregard for justice. Most self-defined 'anarchists', and proponents of it, normally do so because they perceive the current frameworks for dispensing justice to be ultimately in-just.

I am not defending them, so this is not an advocation for recklessness, nor some grand recruiting scheme for 'hatred'. It is merely an observation - proof ask your average 'anarchist' why they believe in the cause.

Hi Panter,

In situations like this you're always gonna get moxed opinion. People shouting about the law etc etc.

Personally, I absolutely disagree with many laws in this country, so I couldnt give a toss.

As for your actions, good on you. Wish I could have been there to see the drivers face / reaction.

I certainly wouldnt feel bad about your actions!

But the sad fact is, for bizarre reasons it could easily get you in the shoot.

Not that I am particularly bothered - nor do I think you are referring to me , but is punching a car really that bad or effective. I imagine you punched the bonnet Panter, did you leave a dent, were you wearing your trusty pair of knuckle dusters, or have a key held between the fingers to cause more impact and a scratch.

It would seem that he got rather frustrated, 'lost control', and punched the car. To which I imagine the driver muttered something and drove off.

The self aggrandising and 'the tosser deserved it' nature of some of these posts reduce you people. Get a grip - advocating punching anyone or anything is hardly something to be encouraged. Ah, but we must put the other person in their place and show them what's what.

Calm down, control yourself and move on...please!

When "Said Tosser" wipes out your family ... come back here and tell us "your calm and controlled and you've moved on"

But they did not wipe out anyone's family...a man swerved in a car for whatever stupid reason and in your world he must therefore 'pay'. I hope you never serve on a jury....

The stupid reason was because Panter and his family dared to cross the road and hold the driver up for a few seconds, and yes in my world and many others on here the driver should be taught a lesson, as for me serving on a jury ? it'l never happen ... i've taught to many people a lesson

If you are driving a car along a country lane, throwing it into the corners & loose the back end brielfy, you scare the crap out of yourself you tend to take it easy & think twice about driving that way for a while


If you drive like a tnuc & someone heavily repremands you (physically or verbally) you tend to take it easy & think twice about driving that way for a while.

I'm not condoning damaging people or property but be honest, what would happen if Panter reported it to the police?

If the driver had lost control & hit someone, how many people would be happy to forgive & forget?

I think punching a car is better than punching a person. I've seen the red mist occasionally and, like Panter, I've regretted it later.

Anyway, more to the point, where were you when I was slagging of Sarfend last week?

 

[StHuck]

Ah now - gone back to check out the tourist guides posted last week...

All true I'm afraid but in defense..the first building is an art deco classic and my parents in law live in the first floor flat overlooking the sea/estuary and it is fabulous inside.

Also, like Argyle House, The Kursaal is a classic listed building based on the famous belle eqpoque style Hotel Negro on Rue D'Anglais in Nice....(not that I am making any comparisons on any level...although the chips are better in Southend!) But main point is that the Kursaal's ballroom had a fantastic sprung dancefloor and was a superb venue for gigs. The most legendary being when The Sensational Alex Harvey Band were supported by Canvey legends Dr Feelgood and known by all who attended as the greatest gig of all time.

Wilco is still a god round our way...

St Huck,

Please.. get a grip. The tw@t in the beemer needs to be told. Maybe the fact that Panter acted in such a way, made him realise the potential consequences if he was to try it again.

If people choose to ignore behaviour like that, it will continue to happen. Simples.

 

[StHuck]

Are we all to be judge, jury and executioner!! My point very simply is that the attitude of the guy in the car thinking that his manner/behaviour is right and how things should be is replicated by some of the views on this post. It makes us all as bad as each other and reduces the quality of our society rather than add to it.

Sorry if that contradicts the evidently required swagger and ego but that is how I feel...

 

[Panter]

As I say, it most certainly wasn't the right thing to do and, in fact, I wish I hadn't posted it but I felt the need to vent and posted from my phone when we reached our destination, which I now regret.

I wish I was as good a person as some on here but I'm not. I guess chap is correct, I am a product of my upbringing and social class and I'm sorry to have soiled your World with my drivel (although I was at least taught to read correctly, it was the boot I hit and not the bonnet .)

Anyway, I lost my temper in the heat of the moment and I now regret my actions but, faced with a direct threat to my family (and please remember that the car, which was accelerating, passed within a few inches of us) it's what I did and I honestly can't say I wouldn't do it again if in the same situation.

I'll try harder in future....
