The Ultimate Punk'd was in 1984

Punks were Punk'd

  Hero Bernhard Goetz

    First off, the NYC subway of 1984 was a lot different the NYC subway system of 2004.  From the 60's to mid 80's rider ship was dropping at an unbelievable rate.  The cost for a fare was 90 cents.  And for that price you got a ride that would be scarier than any rollercoaster you've ever been on.  15,000 felonies a year, roughly a little over forty a day compared to 2,760 or  8 a day from last year.  My point is this, unless you had to take a train in 1984 to get where you were going, you stayed away from the subway.

    So along comes the peoples hero Bernhard Goetz.  He's approached by four punks on the subway.  Carrying a concealed gun in New York will get you many days in jail, so the four criminals with rap sheets sharpen down a few screwdrivers for weapons.  Their mission that day, to play their version of the game Punk'd.  "Punk'd by Punks" is the official title of the game, coined by thagierk.  In other parts of the country people call it Robbery and/or Mugging.  But make no mistake it's a game.  And like all games, there are rules.  For this game, rule number one is "Anything Goes"  The winner is the one who walks away with cash and or with full use of his/her motor skills.  There are no fouls, or flags during the game it self.  Those issues are taken up later after the game is played in the court of law.  There the judge and attorneys get to make the calls as Monday Morning Quarterbacks to the game.  But ultimately the fans decide who the hero really is despite any outcome from the fouls.

    Back to our hero Bernhard.  When he's approached and punk number 1 says "Give me $5.00" (let the games begin) Bernie counters their offer by reaching into his jacket and pulling out his weapon of choice, a handgun.   Now in case you don't what this means, like in the game paper, rock, scissors. Paper covers rock, rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper. Gun trumps stabbing shanks.  So the game takes a sudden and interesting turn.  The punks take their medicine while Bernie lays down the winning play of the game.  A bullet for each one of them.   Punk number one is now crying foul while lying on the floor of the subway car.  Bernhard decides to trash talk this player while putting a second bullet into his body.  "You don't look so bad, here's another" putting this punk into a wheelchair for the rest of his life not to mention putting him into a perpetual state of being an 8 year old.  Final on Field Score: Bernie 4 Punks 0.  Excellent score considering that the punks had more players.  When was the last time you saw a 4 on 1 basketball game and the 1 won?

Aftermath

     Bernie was found not guilty in the way he played the game.  His plays were found in self defense.  However a flag was thrown, for carrying a concealed hand gun.  His served 8 months in prison.  In 1996, the punk took on Bernie a second time on a different playing field.  This time the punk won.  Crying in the court of law that Bernie had fouled him. Taking away his right to walk and to talk in complete sentences. The foul cost Bernie 43 million dollars.  It has yet to be paid, because Bernie doesn't have that kind of cash.  If he did, he sure wouldn't have been riding that train on game day back in 1984.

         As for the other 3 punks.  What became of them?  Well, a few years down the line two of them went to prison for Robbery, and the third went to prison for a brutal rape, sodomy and you guessed it robbery of an pregnant 19 year old female.

ThaGierks Thoughts

    In the animal kingdom, only the strong survive.  When a tiger takes down his prey, there's no court telling the tiger what he did was wrong.  And that if he looked down the field he would have found some nice long grass to chew on.  Response to the animal kingdom analogy has been "True, but human beings aren't animals, we're thinking creatures who know right from wrong, that's what makes us different."  I say bullshizer.  I not dying for no one, and no rational thought like that EVER.  Don't you ever talk to me about how humans aren't animals.  We're smart ones, yes, but animals never the less.  If not, explain Hitler?  Explain dropping atomic bombs on Japanese cities killing thousands of innocent civilians, flying planes into the World Trade Centers, or here's the most recent one, not telling the people of Thailand that a mother fucking Tsunami is coming. (reason being that who ever was in charge didn't want such a thing to affect tourism)  Last count 150,000 dead.  Good job bud.  I could bring up more dictators, oppressors, and horrific natural events.  But it's almost pointless.  My critics are fast to point out "There are exception to the rules, it's not all black and white."  Yet in every case the strong (the exceptions) take it out on the majority. Explain that to a group of people walking in gas chambers, or that guy looking up from his desk and seeing a plane flying into his window?  Or sitting on a beach seeing a big ass wave coming at you? So your saying to me, it's ok to die because I know right from wrong and I'm not an animal.  Fuck you, Make a difference where you can!!  If animals attack you, think like an animal, and self preservation comes first.  They are attacking you, you are not attacking them.

    The only mistake Bernhard Goetz made that day was not finishing these punks off.  Like killing Hitler, millions of lives could have been saved.  Killing that one punk would have prevented a 19 year old girl from being raped and robbed.
