I am SOOO lucky.
|
I am SOOO lucky.  Yep, I guess I'm the luckiest guy around. I'm lucky I survived my 20's and 30's that's for sure. By rights I should be either in jail or dead from natural or un-natural causes. Case in point: The night I hit a Tampa<b> police officer </font></b>and got away with it. Me and my buddies had been drinking at a bar in north Tampa. We closed the place down and I headed home. It was around 3-3:30am as I pulled out on to the street. I was a bit 'buzzed' but no where near 'drunk' if you will. (I've always had a very HIGH tolerance for booze but that's a WHOLE 'nother story) Anyway, I'm tooling down the road, minding my own business when all of the sudden this car pulls up next to me and starts 'fucking' with me. There are two guy in the car and it seems like they're hell bent on either racing or just causing me grief in general. I TRY to ignore them and keep driving along, safe and sound so to speak when we both get stopped by a light. They start gunning their engine, making noises and faces at me, flipping me the bird and trying their best to get my 'goat'. The light turns, they take off like a dragster and I move out, slowly, laughing at em.. This whole thing continues for a while down the road when finally I get tired of it and totally light up MY car and leave them in the dust. Good riddance. Or so I thought. I finally turned south and was about two streets from my house in Temple Terrace when I get stopped at another light. (Damn lights) As I'm sitting there waiting, I looked in my rear-view mirror and sure enough, there's the two guys pulling up behind me. The next thing I see is these two assholes getting out of their car and coming up to mine, one on either side. The guy on my side reaches the back corner of my car, wheels around and KNEES the rear panel of my car, HARD! Ok, that's it. I take off my glasses, put them on the seat next to me (That's MY Billy Jack moment btw) and come out of my car hell bent on teaching this fool a lesson. In on swift move, my knee is buried in his crotch, my forearm is across his neck and we're on the ground with me exerting every ounce of weight and strength I have on his throat. Note: ol Tazzerman is normally VERY slow to anger but when I do get pissed, watch out! So I'm laying there with my forearm still across this guys throat, kind of enjoying the gurgling sounds he's making when out of the corner of my eye I see something move. Thinking it's his buddy, I spring up and at the same time let fly with just the most gorgeous left hook you ever saw. Just as my fist hit his chin I realized that it was in fact a Tampa cop and NOT the other guy... Oh SHIT! The cop goes down and I immediately try to help him up, apologizing profusely as I pull him to his feet and dust him off. It turns out that the cops were sitting in their car, parked off to the side of the intersection with their lights off and they had watched the WHOLE thing go down. Meanwhile, they had the two guys handcuffed and were running their IDs through the ol' computer. The cop I hit and I were sitting down on the curb and I was giving him my statement. He handed me a handkerchief and told me to wipe the blood off my ear. Huh? What blood? I reached up and sure enough, my right ear was bleeding. It turned out that as I jacked his jaw, he had nailed me with his Maglight flashlight right on the side of the head. I NEVER felt it.. Amazing what adrenaline can do isn't it? We both laughed a bit and he complimented me on the left hook. LOL Anyway, to make a long story short, the two guys both had ' sheets' a mile long and were wanted in connection to a series of.... you guess it, carjackings in the Temple Terrace area! There was a trial, both assholes where convicted of not only attempted carjacking (My case) but also for three other cases of car-jacking, one of which they had used a gun.. They both received 10-15 years in the state lockup. My car was ok, I was able to pop the dent out and really, unless you knew it had happened, you couldn't tell or see it.. I was not charged with assaulting an officer however I was lectured on the stupidity of getting out of my car late at night, alone at an intersection.. I asked the copd what I should have done? They both said, run the red-light and drive away! I had to laugh because then I asked if they would have stopped me for running the red-light and they both said, probably! LOL So there you have it, one of MANY times ol Tazzerman should have either been dead or in jail. But I'm a lucky guy..! -tm |
