Need Some Get Back

When someone does you wrong, you get mad and want revenge. All thoughts of "Turn the other cheek" vanish as you plot how you will deliver The Big Payback to your adversary.

Depending on how look at it, the "Godfather Of Soul" practices what he preaches on this topic.

James Brown was arrested in 1998 after leading police on a two-state car chase between Georgia and South Carolina. When he was finally apprehended in Georgia, he was charged with simple assault, carrying a pistol without a license, carrying a deadly weapon at a public gathering, two counts of assault with intent to kill and seven misdemeanor charges.

Additional charges filed by the South Carolina police, who had blown out Brown's two front tires during the chase, included assaulting a police officer and several other traffic violations.

What did they expect? You shoot out a man's tires while he's driving, of course he's going to get a little perturbed.

One can only guess the nature of the injurious acts committed against Brown which we might assume led to the charged assaults.
