Club 30's "Kill The Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 37th Edition

I think I am really sick.
Am kinda slow to remember that Sat, while at the movies.
I've been shopping and going back to the cinema theatre again for the 2nd show. I had walked along this driveway and the carpark next to me.
A fat young kid had run away from the cars and hiding behind a car near to where I walked.
Then I saw a teenager, about 16-18, carrying a gun, pointing 45 degrees downwards and some of his friends was shouting at him to put that thing away.
I figured its a airweapon, and sure enough, when I walked to teh fat kid and asked good naturedly, 'Is it a Airgun?'
The kid replied: "yes, but it sure hurts where the thing hits."
I good naturedly tells him: Well, you are w/o glasses, just make sure he dont get the pellets in your eyes.
Then I see that teenager finally stuffed that airgun into his waist and walking to his friends with his hands happily waving in the air and laughing at his friends. I think his friends arent that amuse though.
I walked away still in good spirits and thinking it was child's play.
Somehow, only just now, then I feel outraged, that the teenager was properly using that airgun to torment/bully the other younger kids and I had a surge of feelings inside me, wishing that I actually has a real gun and had actually ordered that Bully to drop the weapon.
Then I think about the Virginia Univisity shooting, and I really regretted that I didnt react back then! I could have at least called the police, have the police stopped these teenagers and make sure the parents are pulled up for questioning on letting their son get away with pointing a airgun at ANYBODY!
Something else flashed thru me and I really felt angry at myself, that I dont have a weapon on me. If I did, that kid would have been brought down way before the police officers does, and it could serve a lesson on handling weapons.
Cos I KNEW. That airweapons can be deadly TOO! AND I DIDNT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! -
it's the parents, not the system lah .... I'm sure if you give small kids a few lashes in the house the police is not going to come knocking ...Originally posted by Rhonda:Little children need, no, they WANT to be taught boundaries.
I'm not going to raise brats in Australia, where caning constitutes 'physical abuse' and scolding becomes 'verbal abuse'.
As a result, look at the selfish, spoilt brats around!

Yeah that time I felt like I was fallin gsick and I took 1 course of flu meds and it didn't come

Sigh... life's like that. What to do?Originally posted by Fatum:so very often in life, those that doesn't deserve to be parents often are .... but those who want kids dearly, may not be able to have them, eh ....
It's sad to see druggies become parents in Australia. Most of the time, women become pregnant to take advantage of the one-off cash amount given by the state govt for babies born there. It's only what... A$2000+ nia, but some of these folks are very short-sighted and never bother to think long-term.
I've seen a druggie couple with a baby in a dirty, run-down pram and the poor bub was wearing clothes that are stained and looked like they haven't been changed for days!!
It was a really sad sight and an eyesore! I wish I could do something for the poor, dirty baby! 
I betcha the druggie couple probably took the baby allowance from the govt, and promptly spent it on drugs!

Sigh....body must have lost the fight.Originally posted by Rhonda:YOu caught the virus / bacteria, and it was incubating inside you. Your body's immune system was alerted to their presence and was trying to fend off the attacks but failed only like 24 hours later. Something like that.
Cos last night and earlier today, i was applying wet towels on my forehead, watching dvd from the bed.
Only around 4pm, then I was better and even made dinner for the family that was out at Disneyland.
They came home to porridge, boiled Jewish sausages slices, boiled green veggies, fried omellette with diced long beans, steamed portabellow mushroom with mince meat.
And I just now, went to finish up the portabello mushroom and thw washing up, throat giving me craps.
Finally made myself a avacado milkshake. its so much easier on the throat. -
fell asleep.. not faceplant dramatic but i fell asleep
argh!! 4 1/4 hours more to knocking off -
viciouskitty, sometimes, it's on hindsight that we realise what we should have done. Don't be too harsh on yourself. At least the next time you encounter a similar situation, you'll know what to do.
It could be because it's an unprecedented experience to us so we haven't yet formulated an action plan in our minds and we never really thought about the impact and consequences yet. We can't be lightning fast in our responses and reactions all the time but hey, your intentions were good! -

That goes back to the story on how come morons are ‘licensed’ to have kids
They should have given the baby up for adoption or something
Sheez -

CNB has been watching this man living in a flat for some time. He is selling drugs.
So one time, they broke thru the doors of that guy and they planted themselves in the flat waiting for buyers.
One by one, the buyers showed up and was promptly ushered in to the bedroom waiting for the next buyer to show up.
One woman, showed up with a baby, about 6 months old. She was also put into the bedroom to wait like the others.
Now, a few times after that, whenever there is buyers about to enter the place, the baby cries.
And most times, these new buyers, hearing the baby cries, aborted the idea to enter the flat and buy their drugs.
Much later, a officer noticed, that the woman pinches her baby and make the baby cry whenever potiential buyers are near the flat entrance. -
A mom causing her baby unnecessary pain for the sake of protecting fellow drug addicts?!
Betcha she probably fell pregnant cause of some drug-induced haze!

The only good thing i did was warn that fat kid that since he is not wearing glasses, to make sure that teenager isint aiming at the eyes.Originally posted by Rhonda:viciouskitty, sometimes, it's on hindsight that we realise what we should have done.

I didnt even shout at that teenager to tell him to back off.
Though, me talking to that fat kid, might have been helpful for that teenager to know that others are looking and he finally keep his weapon.
I still am angry. Cos my body was suppose to be responsive to weapons, including airweapons. To shoot back or to take down the shooter.
What Happened to my TRAINING I DID! -
What sort of training have you done?
-
But the problem is: Singapore does not have a welfare system, a foster family system to take away the baby legally from that 'mother' into better care!Originally posted by Rhonda:

We dont have a system that can handle child under 3 years old either. -
at least IPSC & some defence tactics, on disarming someone.Originally posted by Rhonda:What sort of training have you done?
Though I usually does a better job at screaming obscenities at someone. -
Ok. I am whining too much.
Think its just a sudden flash of anger. Which is long overdue for the event.
I am freaking slow to react sometimes, that may account for the virus thingy.
Where technically, I am suppose to be the most weak body of this family. -

i do have some kind of training.. but i would have just told the punk kid that if he plans to run around with that, that he be ready to die in a hail of bullets if there are cops around...
then i'll tell him not to shoot anyone with that coz it constitutes assault and he'll be going into a PMITA prison.. -
Well, on the much much too late (36 hours toooo late) hindsight.Originally posted by the Bear:i do have some kind of training.. but i would have just told the punk kid that if he plans to run around with that, that he be ready to die in a hail of bullets if there are cops around...

The pellets could also have dented a few cars......
Then we should be able to more beautiful lawsuits against that teenager.
And that fat kid could also sue that teenager for millions of dollars. This kind of lawsuits very favourable in USA. -
