***I usually steer clear of the 'GoFundMe' stuff personally, but it didn't take a membership in any of the total BS 'organized' Abrahamic religions for me to learn that most times when you help other people the universe somehow sends the favor back many times over...   |

For many years I worked a job with a mandatory rotating 24/7 'on-call' all throughout NYC, and back in the days before cell phones were invented we had no choice when we got 'beeped' in between jobs other than to use the pay phones that left you standing vulnerable out in the streets in the middle of the night. Most places in NYC weren't too bad, but the Bronx was always an exception no matter what part you happened to find yourself in. It was a place that I used to use extreme extra caution. Luckily I had only two instances of 'near' trouble. Once while using a pay phone I had a few eggs thrown at me from out either one of the windows or the roof of the building I was standing next to (they missed all 5 or 6 attempts), and once I stopped at about 2 am to use a pay phone down the block from where a few pieces of shit were hanging out in front of a 'bodega'. These assholes were a bit older, and appeared to be just a few neighborhood guys hanging out having a beer and quietly shooting the shit. This caused me to wrongly assume they wouldn't be bothered by my presence. I mean jeez, I'm just a fucking working man trying to earn a living and causing no harm to nor disrespecting anyone. I just needed to use the phone for a minute ! About 30 seconds into the phone call the first of a few empty bottles were thrown at me while they cursed in their guttural ghetto version of 'Spanish'... OK FUCKO's it's on now ! Amongst a few other 'things' I always used to carry a 'Wrist Rocket' hunting sling shot and a bunch of .50 caliber steel bearing balls. I quickly ended the phone call and sped away in the truck. I went up a few blocks and waited for a little bit, then circled back around, winding my way around back to their location but this time from the other direction. I ended up about a half a block away, up on a slight hill, with my lights off and a beautiful clear shot right down at the scumbags. I loaded up and proceeded to fire off about 10 or so shots at them that they never saw coming... Oh man, there were a few direct hits and the screaming like little bitches was pure comedy !  Here's a tour of that shit hole borough: |

Pro wrestler turned manager 'Classie' Freddie Blassie wrote in his book that he was such a heel that once out of the arena a guy in a parking garage over him with a hard-boiled egg in the shell called his name and at the same time tossed the egg. Blassie looked up and just as he did the egg hit him in the eye and blinded him in that eye. Eggs can be dangerous weapons, maybe they should be outlawed.

Magnus, I am glad that you did not end up hurt; as for them, they will blame others but not themselves for their behavior!
