The thing to do is go back, but in 2 vehicles.Park the truck, get in the 2nd one, then watch and wait. And be ready to ponce. Jerk tried to get you killed.

 

"Rabid hatred" I like that one. In fact I need to go tell my friend that I hate him 'cause he is a cop. All this time I thought it was because he was a Cards fan. Thanks for straightening me out.

Ok, if his race didn't matter why did he bring it up?

If this isn't physical violence,
What is?


Really,
That is not being nice. I have used the phrase, "This is not my first rodeo" a time or three and every single time it was used to talk down to someone. I have literately spent years living out of a suitcase, I know what it is like dealing with hotel staff, most of which did not speak English as a first language. Getting short with someone never works out. I still think the situation could have been diffused in the parking lot if only it had been handled differently.

Now, since the story keeps growing which tires were cut? Do they face away from the camera or in view of it? I ask this because more that likely the maintenance guy was the one who installed it. Who else would better know the views it would give? This in itself might be the most revealing clue about who did it.

 

That's just screwed up and done by someone that has serious problems!!!

 

Dude read the effing thread!!!! Ri never assaulted the guy, called him a racial slur or anything. He didn't even mention the fact of his race until he posted about it here, and the assault was an afterthought as well (if he had caught the guy). All of a sudden, a guy comes to a forum to converse about his weekend and how it could have been terrible due to possible actions of a maintenance guy who happened to be of "middle eastern discent" tried to throw his weight around and to share some of his emotion that came from the situation. Now it seems that ri is being treated like Mark Fuhrman!!!! (google it) taking tiny excerpts from his post and villianizing him for his emotions over it. I personally applauded Ri actions. He stood is ground, he wasn't about to be pushed around by a mealy mouthed haji with some sort of complex. It makes me feel better that his attitude is where it is, especially concerning his job. In fact the striking difference between the attitudes here remind me of this.

Having respect and being nice are not always the same thing. We're in a time when everyone thinks we have to be polite, give in to demands of others to get along. That's bs! There was a time when a man would be rewarded for holding is ground for what he thought was right. If he was wrong he was a better man for admitting so. All ri was doing was protecting his property by leaving the trailer hooked up to the truck, the maintenance guy wasn't willing to see that. Ri stood his ground! Anything less would have been weak.

 

Wookie until you learn how to read there really isn't any point in anyone discussing this with you. You still haven't showed where he yelled racial slurs at the worker or threatened him with violence.

 

I never even yelled at him! My voice remained calm the whole time! I only mentioned his race here because of the fact that he was Middle Eastern. I had to order two new tires from Firestone as the tires on the truck are the Firestone Destination ST's 275x45X22's! Not you everyday tire! The two new tires will be here Wednesday for installation! I will keep everybody posted how the "Investigation" turns out. I am not holding my breath on this one! My girlfriend did write up a review on the Hotel on trip advisor! It was not favorable! Thanks for everybody's support here & listening to my angry emotion! I am trying to move on from this encounter!

 

A crime was committed but you have NO IDEA who did it..

If he was a prior customer or not doesn't give him the right to just park anywhere.. If the maintenance guy is the head of the building and grounds he might very well be allowed to say to people " You have to put that in two different parking spots" If it were me I would have checked with the manager and not ASSUMED that I could just park like that...


I'm not sticking up for any one but in the one sentence you said POSSIBLE ACTIONS of a maintenance guy.. WHo says he even did it.. But everyone is out to think it's him right away.. Cops jumping to conclusions BEFORE they even know all the facts.. What if it was just some random guy that was jealous of his truck? Could happen you know. You can find those video's on youtube....

And the last part of your statement, if we stand our ground to LE what happens to us..? We end up arrested.. All he had to do is clear it with management and i don't think there would have been a problem...


To the OP, that really sucks that your tires got slashed.. You possibly could have gotten killed or seriously hurt.. Glad you didn't have anything terrible happen on your drive.. Nice truck by the way...

Ri being a cop doesnt have anything to do with this incident no matter how much you guys keep trying to throw it in his face.

 

Exactly. On the job and in his jurisdiction, being a cop gives him positional authority. Off duty and out of his jurisdiction, he's just another person and doesn't deserve any kind of special treatment, good OR bad.

 

Me being in Law Enforcement for the past 24 years has nothing to do with anything other than my skills of observation & being able to read people pretty well! Like I stated " I have no proof that he did the deed only the trained little LE voice in my head that says he`s a person of interest! Other than that I was the victim of a crime & deserve to be treated as such.

 

Wow! I never thought about it like that. I can see your point, spray paint is exactaly like partialy cutting TWO tires on some one's truck! Who knows how many people have been damaged by all the CFC's from those spray cans.

I guess you are right, ALL cops are pigs and risupercrew really did have it comming to him. Maybe next time he will let some slimeball use him for a door mat, that would probably be the best thing to do!


NOT!

 

Ok first off, NOOOO he didn't have it coming to him. Second, I NEVER said all cops. Please re-read my post. And the video was just an example of vandalism. Just to show it could have been a random thing, and not this maintenance guy getting back at him? Sometimes you have to look at the big picture. What did this maintenance guy have to gain by doing this? He could lose his job and possibly do time, for working somewhere that it's not his property.

Pics?

 

X2 I know you didn't get rid of the evidence.

 

Bump. Glad y'all made it home safe after all that! Any updates RI?

The older I get the more I realize it's not worth arguing with people over the little stuff. Just like I'm trying to stop my old habit of brake checking tailgaters, it never makes the situation any better. If the guy asked me to use 2 spaces, I probably would have until I got approval from the Manager, then again, I'm used to driving company equipment and if I did something dumb and got the truck and/or trailer towed, I'd be screwed!

Not trying to put any blame on RI, but it seems to me the attitude he took with the maintenance guy is at the heart of the issue. I don't think it has anything with him being a police officer either, I know plenty of people who would react the same way RI did and they aren't cops. 99% of the time you get away with it, but there are enough crazy people out there I'd rather not take the chance. What if the guy who cut his tires had a gun or went after his g/f while staying in the hotel?
