On the weekend of the 15th, check out this post for more information- http://justmylife-mygripespot.blogspot.com/2007/12/wrapping-biting-fighting-and-sex.html - we had a small fight break out in the shop, The Boy wasn’t even out there when it broke out. This past weekend, there was another fight , this time The Boy was front and center.
On Saturday night, we (hubby, Little Miss, and me) had some last minute Christmas shopping to do. The Boy wouldn’t be joining us. A friend of the family was coming over and they were going to run into town for a few, for food and over to Rerun’s to ride 4 wheelers, maybe back to the house to shoot pool later. We left feeling pretty good about leaving the house. Most likely they wouldn’t be here and if they were, there would only be a couple of boys and the family friend (BJ, who is older than the kids who hang out here, but still young enough to be COOL enough to sit out there and play bouncer, if needed) would be here to play security. We came home a few hours later and was very surprised to find about 10 cars in the yard. After Hubby went out to snoopcheck in on them, they were all getting along, some were drinking, but there was ample designated drivers, and BJ was out there to keep everything under control, we felt better and went on in the house and relaxed. That was our first mistake.
A little about our driveway, this will be helpful in a few minutes…. When you turn in off the road (a small back road) the drive is about 100- 150 feet across ( wide enough to park an 18 wheeler sideways and have room at the front and back to fit a car passed with no worries) and about 250- 300 feet long, it then bottlenecks down to a space wide enough to fit 2 cars through easily. It forks off in a few directions from there. Sharp right turn, carries you over to the circle drive next door where our oldest son used to live, veer to the right slightly, and it takes you around the concrete slab that the basketball goal is on, go straight, it carries you onto the slab. Veer slightly to the left and you have two choices (either side of the square flower garden) to go to our home ( you can park 4 cars comfortably in front of our home), a sharp left turn carries you to the shop. In front of the shop, you can park 2 18 wheelers side by side and fit in between them and to the side there is a dirt area that could park several cars.
This is why that description was important… As one car would leave, 2-3 cars would come up. At 1:30, when hubby heard yelling and banging and went out to snatch a knot in someones ass kill whoever was making the noise check on the group, he found about 30 cars in the driveway ( now see why you needed to know how huge our driveway is?) Anyway, he was met half way across the yard by a rat great young man, “I didn’t do it and the boy who started it is in the white shirt!!!” A white shirt came toward my husband, he was in no mood for the foolishness, and he slung this kid into a car with a wave of his hand. Wrong kid, OOPS!
The rest of the story is what I put together from what I heard from rats cowards witnesses to the whole episode.
( Quick explanation…there are 2 JRs, one is black JR and one is white JR, I kid you not this is what they call them. The family friend is BJ, Rerun is the boys best friend, MM is a friend involved, JG another one, RC is the ratyoung man who would tell us anything we want to know and sometimes more than we want to know, and AC is RC’s girlfriend and a really sweet girl, the rest are just kids (17-22) who happened to show up.)
After we left, it was decided that they (Rerun, The Boy, JG and BJ) would run and get something to eat and then come back to the shop to shoot pool. A call was made to 2 others. Those 2 others apparently called a few more and as I said there was 10 cars in the yard when we got home. The Boy swears he did not plan on having that many here. OK. Black JR called and said that white JR was with him, could he bring him? ( small back story, white JR sucker punched Rerun a few weekends ago and NO ONE is very happy with him) The Boy said “NO”. Black JR brought him anyway, of course he came up in another car and he told him not to come, but he couldn’t stop him. YEAH RIGHT! The Boy said he could stay if he would not cause trouble. (Trouble follows this boy) Well, JG could not keep his mouth shut about the sucker punch and a lot of kids were getting rowdy towards white JR, so Rerun told him that he thought he should leave. White JR said he didn’t think so. The Boy, having had a few beers and feeling pretty good, told white JR he needed to get his ass out of there and White JR said he didn’t HAVE to go anywhere…. not a good thing to say to the boy who happens to live at the residence you are at. So The Boy “Crow-hopped” (someone tell me what the hell this means, please!) across the shop with the intention of beating the hell out of white JR. White JR ducked and grabbed his legs out from under him, taking my 200+ pound boy to the ground, where he left a good chunk of skin on the door frame. At this point, the boy was on the ground and couldn’t get up and somehow was on his stomach and couldn’t defend himself. In an effort to help him out, Rerun football kicked white JR in the ass and knocked him into the wall head first, about the same time, MM football kicked white JR in the ribs several times to get him off The Boy. It worked, The Boy got up. White JR got up, he had lost his hat and wanted it back, The Boy was going to “give” it back to him, BJ grabbed The Boy and white JR headed out the door shouting profanity and harassing The Boy. BJ let go of The Boy, The Boy ran for the door, BJ caught him and after a heated exchange and a threat to whoop his ass instead, BJ let him go, tried to grab him again and missed. The Boy made it out the door and went after white JR, I am not sure what happened then, some accounts have The Boy catching him, other accounts have white JR in the car yelling. I do know that as white JR came out the door RC broke a broom handle over his back.
This is the point that Hubby came out. RC met him in the yard to let him know that he was not involved (yes, he was in the end. But his big thing was to let my 6′2, 220 lb. husband know he was there and to keep from getting hit). The young man in the white T shirt, came forward to let him know that the fight was over and that he needed to calm down, wrong move, never come at an angry man with your hands up to pat him on the chest, to calm him, UH NO. Upon entering the shop, he was told that white JR had sucker punched Rerun ( a couple of weeks ago, he didn’t wait to hear that tid bit of information) and then he went out to find the little bastard kidyoung man who had done it. A huge boy yelled to him and told him that white JR was in the car and they would be leaving to take his old ass in the house and leave it to the young ones, he wouldn’t want him to get hurt. Are kids just stupid now? Of course the huge boy was in the car when he said it and despite my husbands attempts to get him to stop, he kept driving off. AC ran out to ask hubby if they were in trouble, he said no, she hugged his neck. (She said he was so mad that she was afraid he would kill them all and wanted to make sure that he knew she was there so she wouldn’t get hit.) He asked if there was any injuries ( nothing major The Boy was bleeding a little and had some red spots on his face and a knot the size of a baseball on his forehead, no one else was injured), he asked if everyone had a ride home ( yes, they were all taken care of), he asked who started it ( white JR, because he wouldn’t leave when asked), he told them they needed to be wrapping up this party ( it took a couple of hours for all to calm down enough to leave). One boy told him that this was the best night he had ever had, he saw a fight and he saw boobies! (apparently earlier in the night, girls were flashing their boobs when someone made a pocket, not what I wanted to hear.)
Everything was fine the rest of the night. We were told this fight was not over, white JR had said it was 12 on 1 and he would get each of them 1 on 1. White JR is not known for fair-play, it is usually him that has the other one outnumbered, he just made the mistake of coming to a place where my boy had more friends than him.
Sunday, The Boy, Rerun, and JG were out in the yard putting a stereo in Rerun’s car and The Boy’s phone rings, it is white JR and he wants him to come meet him at a field of a friends. They needed to finish what was started. Well, Rerun leaves, to go get some friends, it was an ambush and white JR would not be alone ( Rerun called later that night and said he couldn’t gather any friends and had figured if he stayed away The Boy wouldn’t go on his own). The Boy, thinking ahead, (paint me surprised) said he would not walk into an ambush, but white JR could come to the house. Just what I want, an all out Brawl in my front yard. He came in to tell me what was going on and wanted me to get the 12 gauge, just in case it turned out to be 20 or more, there was only 2 of them plus me. I would not be of any help! I got it, I would not give it to him, I told him to load it and show me how to get it off safety and how to fire it in the air, in case I needed to regain order in the yard, IE, my son was getting whooped by several boys! The Boy’s phone was ringing off the hook, everyone knew about this thing. White JR would not come to the house, he feared the OLD MAN getting involved and he didn’t want to hurt him. After many calls from many people and the arrival of RC ( who assured me that they “had The Boys back” if they needed to get involved, I reluctantly gave him the keys to his truck. He had many calls wanting to know why he had not showed up, he kept telling him he had to get his keys. I could not be the one who caused my boy to get into fights defending himself against a tirade of Mamma’s Boy remarks. RC also assured me that if he got hurt to bad, he would bring him home to me, with a call ahead to let me know if we were ER bound.
They were back in 20 minutes, he said he took his ass whooping quick. White JR tackled him, got him on his back and anytime The Boy twisted to get out from under him, somehow white JR got on his back and he finally told him, he had had enough. White JR said he wasn’t done and NS and MM hopped of the tail gate of the truck and told white JR that he had said he had enough and they could make sure it ended and white JR scrambled off The Boy. The Boy took a couple of kicks to the ribs and a kick to the mouth and nose and it was a Brier patch so he has a lot of scratches. We were told that white JR really wanted Rerun, not The Boy and that The Boy was laughing and cutting up all the way to the field. He never got mad and that was why he got his ass whooped.
My husband wants the huge boy that smarted off to him Saturday night. The kid is 21, of legal age according to my husband. I keep trying to get these kids to tell him that at almost 40 he is too old to be scrapping with these kids. They just shake their heads and say, “No, he isn’t. He scared the hell out of most of the boys out there. All they could talk about was the BIG man who came out to whoop ass!” That is not helping me to calm him down! His chest is puffed up so big, he is having troubles putting on his shirts! HAHAHA!!!
I am told that there will be no more parties at the house, I don’t believe it! BJ told hubby that the fight could have really gotten out of hand if he had not been there, white JR might have had to leave in an ambulance or a body bag, I can’t see where he helped any. He wanted to know if this went on all the time. Hubby said usually everything went smooth, unless someone comes up that is not liked by “The Redneck Mafia” (the boys friends). Or if any of the “Bama Boys” ( the “rival” gang of the rednecks) show up. There is still talk of more fighting amongst this group of kids. Apparently white JR is looking for MM and this boy has never been whooped, he took a billy club to the head and kept fighting. And of course Rerun has to defend his good name, he is not a coward, he will whoop his ass when he catches him. Of course, the fact that white JR is still after my boy and after Rerun has put him in the cross hairs of many little rednecks!
My question is, when did kids get stupid? Why can’t they just get together and hang out? We used to do it and we drank butt loads of beer too. I understand that there was in excess of 5 cases of beer brought to this “party”. There is still 1 1/2 – 2 cases left in the shop. So they couldn’t have had that much to drink when you take in to account that each car had at least 2 people in it, and some had 4. I still can’t figure out how they got that many people in the shop, it is 40′ x 80′. Not big enough for that many people. And it has a total of 6 chairs. Plus it contains all of hubby and The Boys tools, my boxes of stored stuff and several sets of shelves. I know that some were outside, but my gawd, where did they all fit. We are sitting on 4 acres on this side of the ditch (another 2+ across the ditch) but please.
Any way….. How was your weekend? Not as eventful as mine I hope! I am waiting to see what happens this weekend. Wish me luck! I threatened to call the law if it happens again, but The Boy is already in enough trouble with the law, he is due in court the 10th of next month for his DUI. He doesn’t need to get busted for underage drinking, public intoxication and we do not need to get busted for allowing it all to happen. It would only happen elsewhere if not here and we make sure they all get home safely! We don’t drink with them as other parents do. There is some adult supervision here, not at some of the other places they go. We try to stay out of the way but still police it. Shit just happens so fast. Well I guess I should go, I said I was cleaning the shop up and putting away anything that could be a weapon and getting rid of the garbage CANS FULL of beer bottles and sweeping up some of the cigarette butts, no wait, I don’t have a broom out there anymore. I don’t know if I will clean or not, I may leave it to the thugs to clean up behind themselves. I see that happening! As Always…..
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!
