well, my 'best friend' next door neighbor went to another neighbors house down the block with an 'older kid' (a known trouble-maker.. family was losers, drunks, alcoholics, sluts, ect..) and we get inside this garage and the trouble maker kid is showing us some kittens and him and my 'best friend' decide to make nooses out of shoestrings and start to hang these kittens.. I grew up with cats (and other animals), so I wanted no part in it, and watched them hang a few of these kittens... I was about 7yrs old.. older kid was about 13 or so.
so, when we were walking down the sidewalk, I stopped and looked at my 'best friend' and threw a right hook at his face and broke his nose.. perfect punch, I didnt' even feel it. that was the first nose I'd ever broken. lol... and he starts BALLING like a little girl and I just walked home.
well, his parents call the cops.. cops come to my house and ask why I did it and I said because he hanged some kittens with the older kid. cop says 'oh... ok then' and leaves to investigate the kitten hanging. I guess the older kid had tossed the kittens I the trash or something so he never go in trouble.
later that night the 'best friends' uncle comes over.. big huge cowboy fella, probably 320lbs, pounding on the door.. I though I was in trouble and he just wanted to say 'thank you for teaching that boy a lesson... he just doesn't learn... if it were my boy, I'd pay you to do that every day till he straightened up'. lol...
needless to say, both those kids ended up in prison for drugs/theft.... (I ended up in prison as well, (long after their first number) but for a more 'respectable' crime. lol... with a much longer sentence)
