After stopping a mugger and protecting his girlfriend, a Marine reflected on his actions and decided the criminal deserved an apology.
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2010-09-27, 1:43 am. E.S.T.
I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend’s purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.
I know it probably wasn’t fun walking back to wherever you’d come from. I’m sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].
I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go’s, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]
Have a good day!
Thoughtfully yours, Semper Fi,
Alex
It probably isn’t true, but it’s still a great story!
