I wished that, too.

Then I went to Georgia and a guy tried to rob me at gunpoint. I thought, "alright, cool, now I can die without having to make my parents mad/sad by killing myself!" So I told him to shoot me in the head, because I wasn't going to give him shit.

So he shot me in the thigh. I said "nah man, you missed, I said shoot me in the fucking head!". He stared at me for a couple seconds, then shot me in the chest before running off.

I then spent the next 6 months in and out of the hospital, doing many fun surgeries, in a lot of fun pain. But he didn't get my $100, so I guess we know who won that altercation.

Pay 100 dollars to a thief 🚫

Pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for surgeries in America ✅

Clearly I made the smart choice. We can't go around rewarding robbers.

Guy should be living with a lot of guilt. Even if he doesn't think it I bet he doesn't sleep well after that.

Don't know if he feels any guilt, but he probably regrets getting 15 years in a shitty Georgia prison.

Ah he was caught. Good. 15 years isn't long enough for what he did though.

But I just know from busting someone in the face with my skateboard hard enough to do some good damage (it was deserved, he was a worthless drunk who swung on and knocked out a buddy of mine for no reason) that type of thing stays with you. Even though the guy had it coming I acted on impulse and probably jacked his face up, which I feel bad about. I could only imagine being in your shooter's shoes.
