Shark!
Last Sunday afternoon, I was headed to my cousin Hipsha’s place for a party.
At 87th Street just east of Loomis, a Chicago Police cruiser quickly swerved from the right lane to the gutter, sending a wave of mucky, oily water from a clogged sewer onto a group of men sitting on milk crates outside a shuttered car wash.
The guys jumped from their crates, enraged. The cops sped off and turned down a side street. I made a U-turn.
“Did that really just happen?” I asked the men, noticing one of them had settled back on his milk crate, sipping on a 40 oz. of malt liquor.
You really need to read the entire article. It seems these fine citizens were just sitting on milk crates minding their own business when they got "sharked." Given the excessive number of potholes and standing water on the south side, you'd be hard pressed to call this anything but an accident. If it's nearly as prevalent as the writer alleges, we're pretty certain people would stop hanging out near puddles.
Frankly, the entire article seems like a justification for the writer to give the recent soakee a dollar, which he did, giving lie to the entire portion where he attempts to describe the soakee as anything but a bust-out. People with jobs and such don't hang on street corners, sitting on milk crates, sharing a bottle or watching people share a bottle.

Google "Scumbag Eradication Team" + "Daytona Beach".
To raise funds, their Police Explorer program printed up an amusing t-shirt featuring a caricature Sheriff Mike Chitwood standing next to a trash can with legs sticking out of it.
Naturally, whenever a BS brutality case arises, the lawyers are quick to flog the "Scumbag T Shirt", but juries just don't seem to care... It encapsulates a sentiment that the good people of Daytona are very much on board with; get rid of the fucking scumbags.
As you can imagine, in a "Spring Break Town" like Daytona Beach, there's a lot of action as far as quality of life offenses. The people there understand that if you're going to live in Daytona, there's certain stuff you just have to accept, but that doesn't include belligerent drunkards vomiting on the sidewalk, loitering vagrants, violent bullies patrolling the streets, street whores in hoochie pants walking around family areas with their vagina in plain view...
Ask me if I fucking care if a bunch of ghetto assholes sitting on milk-crates on the side of the road got splashed, intentionally or unintentionally. Fuck them. Scumbag Eradication Team to the rescue... That sort of behavior is hardly a step up from the old days when shitbums would warm themselves over a steel 55 gallon drum full of burning garbage in the south loop missionary district.
Fuck. Them.
Yeah, the guys are bust-outs and shouldn't be sitting on crates sucking down bad booze, but an accident? Come on, SCC, I guess that's possible, but we've all seen our guys do this juvenile shit dozens of times and we know it's not accidental. Just because some schmuck of a reporter makes a big deal out of it doesn't mean it wasn't deliberate.
Bullshit SCC. I'm as pro cop/ conservative as it comes. I have seen manchild cops pull this pussy move for the last 14 years. Just remember, when you ate riding 99 and getting your face kicked in... that citizen you sharked may turn their back on you. Don't we have the chips stacked against us enough already? No excuse for this clownish behavior.

REP. Shelia Jackson Lee ( D - Texas ) " strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of, ( you guessed it ) his race. "
Let's see, after 2 1/2 years in office Barry has turned a $ 450 billion annual deficit into a $ 1.6 TRILLION deficit.
Federal spending has historically been between 18% to 20% of GDP.
Obama has bloated it to a staggering 24%, with spending levels climbing to 25%
Unemployment 9.5 %
Yep, it's only ' cuz he's black.
The old tried & trusted race card.
MARK KONKOL
should be ashamed of himself for putting his name on this thrash. How does this get put in the paper. What is wrong with reporters today. This is not news, this is simply propaganda for the haters and the race baters. Until our media begins reporting about the real problems in this city the city will only get worse. This gets put in the paper, but some girl walking down the street gets shot in the face doesnt even make the paper. What is wrong with the media today, what a joke they have become.
Who's fault is it when they get bit by a rat (four legged) while standing around a smoldering trash can in some vacant lot while swilling 40's & Night Train ????
These lawyers are litterally reaching into the gutter for clients & a big share of settlements received from The Chicago Ghetto Lottery !!
Ducks never complain about getting wet, they're water fowl, they accept it.
"Damn, man. I took a shower today"
Too damn funny. I Can't believe this story was in print.
Even the picture shows the guy's a thug. And the part about him having trouble with the law was a nice touch. So the guy gets locked up, hangs with the dope boys on the corner drinking on the public way and impeding pedestrians while selling narcotics and he gives him a dollar to go buy beer so that he can continue to break the law.
Makes sense for a scum times reporter.

Please. You really believe that those scumbags would come to your aid? They would come to rob and disarm you if you were getting your ass kicked. Let's just keep it real here. Does Densey Cole ring a bell? Fourteen years must not have taught you much about the nature of these savages, but I think the public is getting the picture lately.

This is the same idiot who plays the race card CONSTANTLY:
"The congressional newspaper the Hill reported this week that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, feels that the current names [of hurricanes] are too "lily white," and is seeking to have better representation for names reflecting African-Americans and other ethnic groups ...

Also: February 9, 2011
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) took to the House floor Tuesday night to criticize what she called a “demeaning” Pepsi ad that aired during the Super Bowl.
In the ad for Pepsi Max, a black woman sitting on a park bench gets angry with her husband after an attractive, white female jogger sits down next to the couple and smiles and waves at the man.

If this goof didn't have the race card to play, she would just be a ordinary stupid member of Congress. WITH her use of the race card, she has become a stupid, racist and embarrassing member of Congress.
Reminds me of a former Alderman who chose to endorse Daley instead of a black mayoral candidate. The Alderman got voted out by his constituants and stated afterwards that he would never be OUTBLACKED again... Hmmm, no racism there!
re: MARK KONKOL
cry me a fucking river, why don't ya?

or has it?
RE:

Yeah right, more likely scenario is sharkee is offender trying to pummel you. If you're trusting citizens to back you up, you're a fool. God Bless the 006th District.
Gee, I wonder what would have happened had this all taken place within site of the cousin's place?
Can you say anonymous caller?
Let the public know about the nationwide "wildings, flash mob ,sh-t thats happening.Some 40 oz. corner hanger that gets his jersey wet is no comparison.
Shark hunting is a lost art form that could be looked at by Research & Development. Sharking should only be used for male gang members actively involved in gang and narcotic loitering. In fact the department could get rid of the current dispersal orders on rainy days and replace it with a shark event number. Order gang members off of a spot and if they refuse to leave, then they get a good sharking. All other people, such as women, children, and those going to work and school are off limits. If those groups are intermingled, then restraint will be in order and a shark will have to wait until later. A shark should at least be worth a bus check on a humper.
Has anyone ever sharked a fellow officer?
They should have been arrested for drinking on the public way
Please. I know this goes on. I know coppers who are proud of doing it.
To me, anyone who would do this is a bully.
Yes, accidents happen. But it's also done on purpose too, and I don't understand how it could possibly be fun.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Calling these bust out, crack head, rap sheet having parasites citizens is ridiculous. Do you really believe that one of these "CITIZENS" as you refer to them would lift a finger to help a police officer that was getting his face kicked in? You sir, are fucking delusional. I'm finding it difficult to believe that you have 14 years on the job. You must have spent it all working behind the desk. Those scumbags sitting on the crates, drinking their 40's and smoking their crack, wish us nothing but harm. Fuck them. I think it's funny as hell that they were made to take a bath. Maybe they won't stink up the stations as bad tomorrow when they get locked up again for their usual crimes against society.
I'm not a cop but would like to chime in here. How stupid could this writer be? I hate to say it, but from the look of the picture, him not showing his face. He know that he is probably wanted or he knows he's trouble and the cops would have a field day if his face was showing because the cops in 6 & 22 both know him by name. Also the reason he wasn't sitting with the party is because he had nothing to bring, no alcohol, smokes or illegal substance. You can't go empty handed. So he was trying to make some by washing a few car. Now not only did he make a few dollars buthe hit the jagbag writer for a dollar which he got to by the alcohol. Now he will be joining the party.
Besides the cops might of had a call. Leave them be. Everything they do isn't just out to get pookie.
Not a cop
Veteran milk crate sitters and wine drinkers don't set up near a puddle. That's just common street sense. These guys screwed up and they know it. If it wasn't the squad car it would have been a bus or someone else. Unfortunately, it gives bottom feeder Mark Konkol and the scum Sun Times another oppurtunity to trash the police.
Moral of the story: Don't plop your sorry ass down next to a curb filled with water.
This is actually helping da peoples...all they need is a free bar of soap and bingo SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN...maybe Obama can add that to the free ghetto list...along with a tooshbrush for da teethesis...
I did it by accident twice, going around people trying to get somewhere fast, but not fast enough for lights. So it could happen, just sayin.
you can bet that iad is going over the gps for that district looking for whoever swamped the rhodes scholars---- more funny is gmac putting debra kirby in charge of the planning for the g8 summit next year---- ppo gmac is smoking the bubble pipe and drinking the fort fellatio kool aid---
Of course the comments are enabled on the SunTimes site. There's a likelihood for police bashing.
You should see the email the commander from 022 sent out in regards to this incident! You woulda thought this equalled the Hearst kidnapping. Now he wants missions run up and down 87th St because of the loiterers, drinkers in this area. In his words, this incident brought "such discredit" to this department. Good thing there's no REAL crime issues in 022 tomwory about!

Get your head outta your ass already.
I remember years ago as a recruit working the midnight shift at 6:00am when my partner drove up to a bus stop and sprayed the group of 12 people with water and drove off laughing. What a complete Dick I thought. But I was just a glorified ride along at that time, but I still remember the incident. Cops can be such arceholes at times.
"Hipsha" ?
Sharking is pro-active policing, they were shooing the flies and fleas off of those dirt-bags! Great job boys!
Maybe the police should arrest all the good citizens who spit on the sidewalk everytime a police car drives up.
It's the cops and bustout "Ghetto Game" they "spit" and we "shark"
sweet home Chicago!
Alot worse was the races through the alleys in 25 about 10 years ago.
I agree with b.f. 007.... seen this happen plenty of times. Total pussy move by PO's.
The officer who did it has a reputation of being a big stroke to everyone he meets, police included. 006th Dist guy
So as I imagine it, the law will now be: ok to use it, but not ok to carry it. If the police stop you BEFORE you use the gun in self-defence it will still be a crime.
The 003rd district is called Grand Crossing because of the multiple RR tracks that cross at 75th and So. Chicago. Most of the underpass in enclosed and pedestrians walk in a tunnel to get to their destination.
Best land sharking in the city.
Ahh...good memories.
I read it in last Sunday's paper.I was going to send it on but why make someone else puke?
Sharked!!!! Where the hell did that saying come from. I just thought it was plan n simiple SURF'S UP DUDE
Dana Starks got the old surf up treatment in 011 years ago
Great.....now we can't SHARK 'em anymore. The fun has left the job.
I agree with 7/16/2011 02:07:00 AM
who said this story was just propaganda for the haters and race baiters.
Also, foor Konkol to say this only fuels the continuation of "no snitching" in the streets is asinine. It's the gangs that promote the no stitching mantra. no snitching keeps gangbangers and criminals out of jail. getting splashed has nothing to do with it.
In a community where 60 to 80 percent of the inhabitants have a hand in, or benefit from, the underground criminal economy, "no snitching" is just a way for those inhabitants to maintain their way of life.
It may be juvenile for those cops to have splashed those folks, but how juvenile is it for those "grown men" to be outside drinking beer on milk crates in front of a closed car wash? what example are they setting for the younger generation? how is this village raising its children?
This was nothing more than the village idiots getting a washdown.

Agreed. Most of the guys who do this (and I've worked in numerous places) are pussies. In their haste to get away like little bitches, I've seen them splash an old lady who just got off the bus with her groceries. I could give other examples of their frat boy stupidity but you get the point. It's a real pussy bitch move.
Hey, Sun Times 'reporter' Mark Konkol: suck on this.
And when you do get a beatdown because you're made for the clueless idiot you are by the locals and robbed, don't call 911, because we're too busy 'sharking' the corners.
Idiot.
Where's the thanks to officers going above and beyond? The officers saw a need for a bath and provided same, all while continuing aggressive patrol.
It's a thankless job.

Now that was funny! i printed off a copy to keep.
I sharked a enclosed bus stop on the west side and the bangers turned around and hugged the glass trying to escape the tidal wave. I sip a cocktail and wonder if they regret opening the hydrant that ruined the $100 outfits that my check bought them. - Marquette ranger.
All sharking does is give fuel to the liberal media fire. They try at every opportunity to make the police look like a$$holes. Don't give them opportunities like this to make them think they are right.... cause in this instance, they are right... totally unprofessional.
it's the best way to clear a corner, been doing it for 10 years. Had one bust-out hype try and file a beef about two years ago. One thing about working in the ghetto is that there's always an in progress call

keep doing stupid shit guys..... one day when you or somebody you know on this job is sitting in federal court with your house and bank account on the line you will hope that one of the jury members was never sharked by some arrogant a**hole.
That was me. I swerved to miss a little kid that ran out into the street.
If the guy had the 40 in a paper bag, as instructed by Bunny Colvin, none of this would have happened.
sharking is cowardly. having said that, konkol is soft as a twinkie from reading his article. of all the savage shit that goes on in this city he writes about that.
Um, "people with jobs...?" On a Sunday afternoon?

I can see your point of being negative and thinking every person in the ghetto is an asshole criminal but working in the ghetto for over 2 decades I have to say there are some good people in the ghetto. I was in a fight for my life years back and guess who came to my aide before the troops arrived (probably saving my life)? You guessed it citizens from Englewood. Also, was in a multimillion dollar lawsuit which I'm sure would have made someone rich for something I didn't do. Guess again who came forward as witnesses stating that this allegation was false and that I didn't do it. You guessed it again, citizens from Englewood. So thank you good citizens from the ghetto who all get labelled as criminals. Signed a white officer from Englewood.

*****************************************************
You are an asshole !! get back in the alley by the burning trash can where you belong !!
Anyone who sits on milk crates adjacent to puddles of water at the curb is asking for a drenching. You just cannot fix stupid people.
Hey Mark, do your parents realize what an asshole they brought into the world ?
Where's the outrage over the robberies & thuggery committed by these 2 legged rats ??
I sincerely hope that when you get mugged you have some milk crate sitting wineheads near by to help you out.
Yes I do know a fellow officer that got sharked. Him and the sharkees worked in same unit. As he was walking home down homan they sharked him realizing only after he worked in the unit. The names are not mentioned but those involved will remember. Funny shit but pure accident
For the record I think this is a dumb practice but have to say I've only seen it done once.It is not a common practice by any means. Having said that I have been seriously hurt on this job once, requiring a week of hospitalization and surgery and I'll never forget watching the drug dealers rejoice as I was on the ground suffering. What I am getting at is sometimes some coppers feel the need to punish a little. It might be petty and immature but it is totally understandable given the people we deal with. lets face it, guys spending their days on corner crates are usually pieces of shit who commit multiple crimes daily. If the Sun Times wants me to feel bad for them getting a little wet, sorry but I just can't. Most of these assholes have hurt society much much more than they were hurt that day in getting wet.
After reading what some of the liberal weenies, who are PO's, posted, I'm glad I'm a short timer. You guys deserve this city and what it will do to you. Shame on you, siding with the mutts...is this the type of department we have become? You dumbshits wouldn't have survived out there 25 years ago.
I got landsharked in the 014 parking lot. Like usual the parking lot lights were off at night and it just got done raining. A car came in with an arrestee and didn't see me standing between two Tahoes. Where was my moment in the limelight? Where was my hero reporter? Where was my $$ for beer?
The only person who can get into trouble for sharking is the mayor for not properly maintaining the streets. If you drive through the ghetto and hit water because it pooled, it's the mayor's fault, not the cops'.
Splashing gang banger dope dealers is just a nice bonus to an otherwise terrible driving experience.
God bless the 006th District and all the hard working cops all over the city.
Hilarious, that should be a course at the police academy. How to splash a bunch of welfare recipients and bleeding heart liberals with puddle water. They deserve what they get, they don't like the police and the police sure don't like them, keep the homicides and agg batteries coming. Obama will solve all their problems.
Moral of the story: Don't plop your sorry ass down next to a curb filled with water.
7/16/2011 08:12:00 AM
common sense ain't so common anymore.
If I had to give a dollar to everyone I "sharked" in the '80's and '90's, I would have had to delay my retirement by a decade.
Yes, accidents happen. But it's also done on purpose too, and ...........I don't understand how it could possibly be fun.
Are you shitting me??
I grew up in the city. Learned a young age one does not stand near the bus stop if there is standing water.
Obviously, working people are off-limits.
But street-corner rats?? Fair game.
Hey, there wouldn't be any water water to splash if the sewer drains were cleaned out like they should be and all those Billions we spent on Deep Tunnel did something..

So, let me get this straight.... A group of piss bums are hanging out on the public way sipping alcoholic beverages on a hot day and a couple of Chicago's finest assist them with a cooling mist of gutter goo and this is a problem somehow?
I fail to see the problem here.
BTW any group of young hoodlums or piss bums standing anywhere near a giant puddle by the curb is fair game in my humble opinion.
Just sayin...

I don't trust or expect anything from a citizen. The fact of the matter is that there have been numerous occasions where a citizen has grabbed a radio, made a call or even made a physical intervention to save or assist a police officer. A fool is someone who was raised so poorly that they think it's funny to splash a citizen, in view of the public while representing the police department. That's not just a fool, but a coward and a punk as well.

Yes, some people DO make it out. But imagine if you had a crack whore for a parent, never got regular meals, and on and on.
But for the grace of God, I could have been one of them. Never forget how lucky you are.
And a little kindness never killed anyone. Splashing people to be a jagoff isn't something to be proud of---would you want to teach your kid to do something like that?

Shut up already you loser and go fetch the officer's radios. Then get back to the CAPS office so you can prepare for your big beat meeting and suck some more "citizen" ass.
Didn't Pat Daley get a contract, while his father was still mayor, for inspecting sewers in the city of Chicago? It's his fault that there is water pooled up and that ghetto rats get splashed.
Sharking a group of shit heads sitting on milk crates is a more efficient use of time and manpower than getting out and interacting with them while wasting valuable ANOVs on thugs drinking on the public way. Most don't have an ID anyway, so no ANOV, waste of time. A good dose of water is what these animals need to move on.
Sharking old lady waiting for the bus: bad. Sharking the bottle gang: OK.
hey everyone, come look at how cool i am. I just splashed a bunch of standing sewer water on a couple dudes standing on the corner while i was sitting in my car flying by them at 30mph.... if that didn't show them that i mean business and am really tough then i don't know what will. well, gotta go, i got a domestic to go avoid making an arrest at.
Seriously it's just mean spirited.
LMFAO. Probablt the first good bath these mutts had in a while.
Even if these were disreputable citizens of some sort, deliberately splashing them is not the best way to win friends and influence people.
Sometimes people are their own worst enemy. And the people who ought to be the maddest at them for it, defend their stupidity. I must admit that don't get it.
Yeah, the old "Unavoidable Giant Pothole" Story. More likely it was some too immature to be police officers, especially in Chicago.

I don't know and really don't care if they were or weren't.I wasn't watching where they came from as I was fighting and waiting for assists. The point is these "criminals" as you label everyone in the ghetto as did help. And as for B.F. in 007 it has been a pleasure working with you and for you. I would say you are one of the few bosses out there who I would want to have my back when the shit hits the fan.
Hahaha...i have been sharked, and I laughed. I guess they soaked the clothes they work in. too funny
6:46am..... yes we are fortunate that we had parents that gave a shit about us and we have peers that became losers anyway. However, life in the big city does not have to be impossible. There are millions of people in third world cities like Mumbai that would trade places with these folks in a New York minute. An opportunity to drink and bathe in free clean water? Eat government cheese and have free rent? Ride on the inside of the train rather than on top of it? The poorest of the poor in Chicago ain't the poorest in the world, probably not even the country. Look at Appalacia or an Indian Reservation and tell me that they have more given to them. The problem with the ghetto is there is very little trust, honor or committment. Not many people give a rats ass about each other. If they did, life would improve 1000%. They might still be "poor", but they would be safe and have hope. Those are things you can't buy. As for sharking, grow up guys, there is plenty of fun you can have on this job without pulling that coward move.
I think that there are a lot of you out there that just don't get it. it doesn't matter if the dudes that got sharked were gangsters, bums, or regular citizens. This is about the sharkers, not the sharkees.
We as police should be better than this, especially on duty. There are plenty of opportunities on this job to have some laughs. Anyone who thinks this is really cool and funny should have never gotten passed the psychological exam when they were hired. This is high school shit.
Shut up already you loser and go fetch the officer's radios. Then get back to the CAPS office so you can prepare for your big beat meeting and suck some more "citizen" ass.

Nice try lowly P.O. but I will stick up for him. He's far from a radio officer or CAPS officer, but is one of the coolest young watch commanders around. He will back his troops as he backed officers while working patrol in 007. No I don't work for him or am I kissing any ass since I have more time on the job than him and can leave this job anytime I choose at this point. JN
Sharking is a sign of total disrespect toward the individual getting the soaking. It is very similar to the way the savage spits when they see a police car. A sign of total disrespect.
They have their ways, we have ours.

Anything to avoid getting your lazy ass out of the car.
◦In the consciousness of the truth he has perceived, man now sees everywhere only the awfulness or the absurdity of existence . . . and loathing seizes him.

So you emulate savages? What do you think the "non savage" driving behind you thinks? Do you think they are likely to give a fuck when try to command respect at a latter date or cry when Rahm tries to take our pension. I'm sorry you got bullied in high school but it's time to grow up and move on.

I may be a LOWLY P.O. but at least I actually spent time on the street and know the difference between a CITIZEN and a SCUMBAG CRIMINAL. It seems to me that most of these hard charging white shirts lately have a ton of war stories but don't seem to know shit about being the police. Hell they don't even know the difference between a decent tax paying citizen and a crack head. Anyway, I'll go back to being a LOWLY P.O. now and the next time I see some fine CITIZENS sitting on milk crates, sipping their 40's, I'll get out and give them some toilet paper in the form of ANOV's instead of giving them a bath. This way the young W/C's can tell the new SUP that they generated some activity in a "MISSION AREA". I'll make sure I get that EVENT NUMBER too! Can't forget those.

Listen, you sorry, petty little child you aren't paid to be a bully. Just because someone is a bust out doesn't mean you have to prove that you are their equal by being a complete jackass. Give them an ANOV? At least you would be getting out of your car and looking them in the eye. Most of the best coppers I know treat people with respect until the situation calls for them to take it to another level. It's called "working smart". If you think the guys sitting on the milk crates are the real criminals then you are clueless one. If this in fact the truth, why don't you use all that street experience and lock them up for something. Do I answer to my commander? Yes, it's called chain of command. If he wants event numbers then I'll ask the coppers for event numbers because that's my job. If they feel like doing their job, they just may get some. Not a big deal to me. I can't force someone to have a work ethic nor can I force someone to be a mature, respectable police officer. Life and the job itself seem to have a way with catching up with a$$holes in the long run.
I thought it was recently changed from "sharking" to a "'bird' bath". At any rate...
"I think we're gonna need a bigger boat."

You better check some of their rap sheets if you think they're not real criminals. Most of them would cut your sorry throat for a quarter if they thought they could get away with it. They are sitting on milk crates now because they can't commit the crimes of their younger days and get away with them anymore. The crack and booze has caught up with them so now they commit petty thefts and sit on milk crates panhandling. You say lock them up? For what? Pissing, DOPW, the drug paraphernalia in their pockets, the one rock they just stuck in their pipe, DC, CTTL, panhandling? You want us to bring these smelly shit bums in to stink up the whole station and maybe have them get a bullshit C.R # on us? You want us to go through all the bullshit and paperwork so that the ASA's and judges can throw the shit out of court before we even sit down. No thanks, I'd rather "SHARK" them. It's easier and more punishment than they'll get through the legal system. They're all a waste of space and if they all disappeared tomorrow the world would be a much better place. I can tell you've had a sheltered career. You'll make a fine exempt member someday. I've gotten out of my car and looked these scumbags in the eyes more than I care to remember. I know what evil is lurking behind their eyes and I'm not giving them any respect. You have to earn respect and you don't do that by sitting on milk crates while getting drunk, high and committing crimes. They've been committing crimes their entire lives and costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars while victimizing the same people that make their worthless existences possible. Save your little holier than thou lectures for the young guys because I don't need them.

1. I'm not "holier" than anyone.
2. I have never had a sheltered spot in my career. I have no clout and I kiss no ass.
3. I have no desire to be exempt.
I realize that these people are leeches etc. but that doesn't mean I need to act like an unprofessional, cowardly scumbag. Your "punishment" nonsense is just an excuse to keep acting like a teenage punk. Its sad that you let these guys get in your head still. It's a job. Don't let the anger eat you alive.
