Your son totally ****** deserves it OP. That's such shit, I'm glad the professor was an MMA fighter.

The dumbass son is also lucky the dorky quiet professor doesn't keep a loaded 12 gauge with buckshot in the bedroom closet. He could be in the morgue rather than the hospital. Now he's got a chance to learn from his mistake.

No reason to be so optimistic, it's more likely that he'll try to get "revenge" as soon as he gets out

Oh my god yes ?

And get his ass kicked again?

Highly unlikely he learned his lesson if he's having housing issues and breaking into people's houses likely he will never grow up and adult.

I'm guessing to try to steal money since he had to move back with his parent(s).

Because he's an asshole. I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for anyone who steals or breaks into a house, no matter your situation. I have been poor and I never once stole or even thought of stealing. It's a shitty thing to do. If you are desperate, there are places that will help you. And clearly OP's son had parents who helped him and yet he chose to be a dick and steal.

I agree with you there on never having stole and being a pathetic thing to do, but you can't lie, everyone at some point thinks about stealing something. Now the difference is actually doing it.

I'm really hoping people aren't thinking a I'm trying to sympathize or some shit, it isn't okay at all. Someone asked his reasoning, I gave the probably answer. Just because he chose the terrible way of doing it doesn't mean that wasn't the reasoning

#40 when I say "Never thought about it" I meant "Never thought about actually doing it" haha, I have thought "I could easily just slip this in my pocket and take it" but I'd never do it; I'm too much of a pussy.

Or they deserved it, not all assholes are dudes

Chill; op said their son

35 isn't wrong, if they did a "he deserved it" they'd have to do a "she deserved it" as well for the FML's not involving a male. A "They deserved it" button would work in general, unless of course the autho was given the choice to pick an 'HDI' or 'SDI' button.

And think what you want about the gender spectrum but there are plenty of people that use they/them pronouns so a TDI option would be the best way to go

Too bad they changed it to This Could've Happened To Me

Exactly. It could have been worse too. I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where you learn how to break peoples arms, legs, choke them unconscious, and control their movement in a fight. I don't look like I'm particularly well built, but I will take an opponent apart in seconds. BJJ was designed to benefit more lean practitioners. Plus there is the added danger of breaking into and armed citizens home and getting shot...

34, that sounded awfully self-aggrandizing (coming from a fellow practitioner of BJJ).
