Oldest granddaughter just had her 8 th grade formal. I’ll be in prison if some young punk breaks her heart!!

That's a very pretty young lady, Jbyrd. I'm going to guess that she will be the one breaking hearts!

That was about the first time ,,,,,,, I am so glad Vinkes only through Males.
I could not imagine raising a young lady in there times.
Very petty and you got you hands full

Agree. She's definitely a keeper! You can be proud of that one!

Usually it's the girls that crush a man's heart. Not the other way around. Lol

Agreed

Looks like one of our Beautiful Bama girls..

Take time in prison to catch up on your reading. Just remember that if you do time, who's going to manicure that lawn of yours??
She's a pretty girl alright Jbyrd. Probably break a few young boys hearts

When my little sister started dating, my brother Kevin and I used to loudly discuss how far I could throw her boyfriends in front of them. I would say something like "I bet I could throw Brian 20'. My brother would answer back "You could do a lot farther than that. At least 25', even more with a good bounce." I would say "If he skids on the pavement a good ways, I bet I could get him 30'." Kevin would answer back He'll lose a lot of skin, but the blood will make him slide better. If you knock him out first, he won't flail around as much, which will make him go farther". We would talk like this a lot. We enjoyed it. Her boyfriends got the message, none of them ever mistreated her.

Her husband helped hide the last guy I knocked out, who was the starting linebacker from my alma mater's football team, in an alley, so the police wouldn't see him laying there. My brother in law always treats my sister well. I may have helped with that some.

… good luck with it Jbyrd


. … Kieth … why’d you knock the linebacker out ?

With a grand daughter like that good luck

She’s precious!

That's our job! Good man

We were at a college party, standing under an awning, drinking during a light rain. I had just started law school there, after graduating from there about 8 years before. My youngest brother Nick was an undergraduate there. A bunch of us were talking, when a woman named Valerie, who was the younger sister of my brother Nick's good friend Jessica, said something that the linebacker, who she was dating, didn't like. He backhanded her hard across the mouth. Valerie fell to the ground and started screaming. My brother Nick instantly started fighting the linebacker.

The campus police drive by every few minutes and we didn't need any trouble. I got the linebacker in a half Nelson with a choke, which was pretty hard, because he was around 6' 3". I cut off his air enough, that he stopped struggling. I did him dirty and let my brother get in a few extra punches. I held him until he calmed down.

Nick's roommate stupidly insisted they shake hands. Neither wanted to shake hands. When Nick stepped forward, the linebacker shoved him backwards hard. Nick slipped on the wet ground and fell hard on his back, with his head hitting the sidewalk.

The linebacker fell down on him and tried to pin him with his knees, so he could beat Nick's face. I had had enough and hit him with a hard rabbit punch, right where his neck and head join, knocking him senseless. He fell on Nick and Nick got stuck under his unconscious body. He was a big dude, probably 265 to 270 pounds, but not massive.

We rolled him off of Nick and he just laid there. My now brother in law said "We can't leave him here, the police will see him." He and 4 other guys put him in the alley and blocked him from sight with the trash cans.

Nick's roommate wanted to call him an ambulance. My brother responded "F him, he hit Valerie." Pretty much in unison, almost all of us repeated that. Nick's roommate stayed with the linebacker and came out and gave us frequent reports, wanting to call him an ambulance still, to which we answered the same in even better unison.

He woke up over an hour later. He remembered almost nothing from the whole day except going to class in the morning. One of the other guys told him that a guy in another team's jacket walked down the street and hit him when he got in his face. He said "That sounds like me." dropped it and walked home.

We should probably have called him an ambulance. Usually when I have knocked someone out, they wake up in less than a minute to a few minutes. I got lucky I didn't kill him. I should have hit him there with less force. I knew better, but was drunk and tired.

It was an eventful night. I started liking the guy, who became my brother in law, who didn't start dating my sister until a few years later. My cousin Matt, who also lived with my brother, had just met a woman, Cassie, the weekend before. She came over and introduced herself and told me "I'm going to marry your cousin.", which she did a few years later.

… sounds like a rough law school

… I went to a church camp similar to that in Huntsville once

We were ranked number 2 in the US for party schools by Playboy, when I was an undergraduate there. We had some huge riots, with over 60,000 people in the late eighties and early nineties. I worked the riots as a police cadet. They would drop a code 100 and every department in the county and adjoining counties would send all available officers. We had the National Guard there a few times too.

When I was 19, I had to guard one of police commanders, who was filming the riots, from the top of an 8 story apartment building. I had a ton of adrenaline going, because he had me convinced we were going to be thrown off the roof. I was very hard on the few people that entered the stairwell.

Fighting used to be one of my favorite things and I was very good at it. I taught unarmed self defense, straight stick fighting, Asp baton, knife fighting and pepper spray use. I also fenced and fought heavy weapons.

…. I ain’t got nothing on you Kieth … just knuckle cut a few commies and thugs in my day

…ended up on the losing end a couple times too

Hard to believe it is the same young lady in your soccer thread. G.
