There's a guy who frequents the same gym as me all the time and who I have a longstanding beef with because he stole something from me and refused to give it back.
He's got 6 inches and 80 lbs on me and is always on the juice. He would basically kill me. He's dumb as rocks and a really hateful man pissed off at the world and no one likes him they respect (fear?) him a bit because he's so brutish.
I've confronted him a few times in the past trying to get my stuff back and he starts shouting and threatening to beat me up, to knock all my teeth out, etc...the few times it's been broken up by the owner of the place.
I eventually said, "fuck it, this guy doesn't matter, I'm not going to get my shit back, whatever." I let it go for 6 months. Apparently he has not and has recently been going around spreading lies that I'm a thief - and even worse - he's said other members of my family are thieves, cheats and rotten people. It's one thing to talk trash about me, but about my family who he's never met is on another level.
I don't give a shit about getting confrontational with him but I know he'll probably resort to blows this time.
What would you do? In my mind there are a couple options: Let him hit you then file assault charges or shoot him.
Obviously I'm not going to shoot him. And I really really hate involving police. Any suggestions?
