#46-18: night, under a minute, first-person aggressor
“I wanted that punk-muthufuca bad—real bad. My partner found out where he live. No cause for the law. This was personal. We took a drive one night. He live in a nice enough area—nice houses, driveways. His car in the drive way en we pull up behine as ‘is punk-ass is commin’ down the driveway.
"Caught the punk-bitch right by the side of ‘is car, en got the bat on ‘im. I had brought the bat. No betta weapon for settlin’ scores. I worked ‘is punk-ass good: cryin,’ crawlin,’ beggin’ like a bitch—all the way up the driveway. Busted ‘im in the legs, arms, elbows, knee-caps—any joint. I wen' fo a head shot en ma partner pull me off, told me I didn’ wanna do that.
"Left ‘is punk-ass lay. Wouldn’t be bustin’ folks with beer glasses no more.”
-Duke
Effective uses of the bat have tended toward vengeance and punishment by larger and more numerous aggressors, who, in most cases, seem to have possessed the physicality to overcome the target of the attack easily without recourse to a weapon.
