Pipe Hitter = Crack Smoker
Pipe Hitters Union = Crack House In any case, the discussion of OP's use of the phrase is a tangent. I would personally find it challenging to believe complete strangers broke into someone's house and then proceeded to shoot him while sleeping. That sounds like the home invasion happened for a reason. However, I've never been in Memphis so from some of the responses, maybe that's what goes on in Memphis. In any case I hope the fellow either resolves whatever issues prompted this surprise visit, or moves the hell out of Memphis. |

pipe hitters is a term used for bad asses that would take the fight to the enemy while armed with only a pipe, but I learned that in NJ in the 70's so what do I know

Ops friend should get a dog.
Also lucky he didn't keep a .45 at his bedside. |

Does the wife frequently leave town with the kid?
I'd be asking her some questions... |

Wow, hope he recovers fully. Makes me glad I have close to #200 pounds of angry teeth and fur that sleep in our bedroom of hall. Plus the the other 2 outside dogs that have free range in back yard. Cameras that alert, motion lights, deadbolts, jam armor, motions and glass breaks and more layers is what helps me sleep good at night.

You sure your friend isn't fucking with you? 2 shots to the head then wakes up fully functioning seems a bit....unlikely

My bosses dad shot him mom in the head point blank with 9mm. She lived thru it with no disbility. He spent 8 yrs in the pen. Now they vacation together.

I travel a lot and Memphis is my least favorite destination. Absolute SHIT HOLE. I believe the OP. Going to a damn gas station is like risking your life. SHIT HOLE! Fuck Memphis.

That is one heavy sleeper. To sleep thru not only the indoor down and close range shot blast concussions, and the intense pain from being shot. I'm thinking one of the shots knocked him out, and he came to after a bit and noticed the fire alarm.
Be it whatever happened, Hopes and Prayers to him. And May a swift and unpleasant karma be upon the Intruders... |

Quoted: Sure, but that's not what happened here. Ohio has it right. Marcellus Wallace was going to provide crack to some crackheads, to motivate them to use a blowtorch, and some vice grips to torture a "man rapist". People who were (luckily) unfamiliar with crack, and crackpipes , heard the term "Pipehittin' niggaz" , and thought, "oh boy , they sound like badasses" . No. They are fucking crackheads. |

Hope he heals up well, both physically and mentally. Also hope they find a trail of blood that isn't his. Will his mom get mad when he changes his middle name to BadAss?
Glad to hear that he should be ok. |

I worked with a woman that was shot five times by her own mom. I think it was a .38spc. She was in the hospital for only two weeks with some head wounds. I believe it. Pistols generally are not the best choice for punching holes in skulls unless you go fast. My brother has a .357mag that was used in a suicide.

Well, hasn't been anything on the local news about it that I can tell. But, I've been off work with the flu and watching more Netflix than local Memphis liberal lies. I usually watch wmctv5 or wreg3. Memphis Fox13 might have something on their website if anyone wants to check. The local paper "The Commercial Appeal" makes you have a subscription to read anything online, so no go there. Tell him good job for me. And no I don't want to attend any Memphis area ARFCom meet ups and watch Spartacus together. |

Was the Walrus involved?

Quoted: No. In this video, you will see a "pipehitter" in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KORqDb1ikk View Quote Could have been crackheads, I guess, but unlikely given the context. Some people have taken the term to mean "hardasses that you send to go fuck your enemies up." Then fat guys started wearing it on their tshirts, and that was pretty much the end of anything cool it could have possibly been. I'm sure somewhere out there someone has a tattoo of it that they regret. |
