Your brother should have told them he was gay. They would be in prison for 400 years.

[TN Outlaw]

the cops said they cant prove what happened its his story versus the 2 40 year old men my brother had 2 friends and his GF with him

[mikegideon]

At least he got in a couple of good licks.

First off you brother going anywhere to confront anyone is a bad thing. Might be a por choice of words on your part but going looking for a confrontation is never going to end well. Perhaps the two gentlemen knew there was about to be a confrontation and they intervened to protect the girl your brother was going to confront. Your brother must have exited his vehicle if the adults were able to assault him. Exiting a vehicle when you have two obviously unstable men is not good judgement. Best to stay in the vehicle unless firearms are involved then a car is a death zone and you need to get out.

Now with that being said no person has the right to place their hands on someone else, especially an adult on a child. I am sure the alcohol affected their judgement. Sounds like the two older guys decided to open a can of "woop ass" but unfortunately they probably spilled it on themselves when they did.

As far as the officers go they should have at least filed a report. Then your brother could use that report to go sign a warrant himself. The officers making a recommendation to not file charges does not mean that your brother cannot. But realize it will be a "he said", "she said" court case and with no impartial witnesses the court will likely toss it out.

Not really sure how I would handle it but it sounds like you brother was not hurt physically so that is a non issue and the guys got what they deserved. As far as the vehicle damage, file with your car insurance and get it repaired by the other guy's insurance.

My advice is to let it go and forget about it, and I suggest you take that advice. Leave it alone.

Revenge is a meal best served cold.

hahaha I tried that on a job application once. Didn't work.

There is always 3 sides to the story. You are only getting one side I wouldn't get to wrapped up him telling you they said not to prosecute. If he has their information he can go down to appropriate court and swear out warrants then he will have to appear in court for the hearings.

[Jonnin]

pressing charges against known dope dealing drunk and violent people in a case where you have a low chance of them being put away for any real time? You want these guys mad at you/him, mad enough to do something even more stupid?? If you can't kill em then & there at least don't create an enemy that will kill you later.

Let it go, but be alert & wary --- as you would be anyway.

[DaveTN]

Well…. We weren’t there and you weren’t there. We have no idea what happened; but the cops do. As a cop would I have told someone that got slapped around it would be best not to push making a complaint? Yes, I have told groups that if I start arresting people everyone is going.

Drugs, girlfriends and little brothers were involved…. Be glad you weren’t there with a gun.

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Yeah I dunno nothin but was kinda surprised the policeman didn't haul everybody in for drunk & disorderly? The other two guys were real drunk and had been driving? And didn't go to jail for DUI?

[bubbiesdad]

i worded that wrong sorry guys my brother wasnt going to confront anyone it was his Girlfriend and he had no idea

Did he think she was going there for a game of jacks?

[TMF]

Run with the herd and you're bound to step in some cow patties.

[TN Outlaw]

im just glad he is ok it could have went way worse... he wouldn't lie to me so i believe when he said how it went down and his friend was so scared he was in the car screaming and called the cops apparently the guy they were looking for was in the car with his GF and he stayed in the car he needs to find new friends!!!

[mikegideon]

Sh#t my dad would say

[TrickyNicky]

Tn, glad it went as well as it could. I think your right from the sound of it your bro needs new friends, ones that won't get him in a crazy mess like that to begin with or at least get out of the car and have his back.

I'd probably leave this alone and just remember the who, what, where. Glad your bro is safe and unharmed.

[MacGyver]

Sounds like he could use new friends and a new girlfriend.

[TN Outlaw]

thanks guys i agree we keep telling him he needs to find a new GF but he s whipped! and he definitely needs new friends! if they wont help you when your in trouble then there is no need to be friends

[QuietDan]

Generally speaking, young women make young men crazy. Might apply here also, doing things they wouldn't normally do.

Words of wisdom.

[AU_88]

Your brother needs to find a new girlfriend.

That is scary stuff...

I never used to think about situational awareness..

I came home one day and for some reason I did not lock my door or took my wallet out of the car. I wasnt inside my door yet and a car pulled up behind my car with 2 hispanic males inside. I turned around to go back and see what they wanted and passenger gets out.. opens my passenger door and takes my wallet and leaves.. this happend so fast. I ran after them and yelled a few choice words and called the cops.. of course they where long gone.

I thought no one would come up my driveway and KNOW I had left my wallet in my car.

It costs me over 500 bucks to get my green card replaced .. Now it stays at home. I just wondered if they knew I had one and I was targeted for it.. just odd..

It wont happen again..
