Someone stole my credit card number recently, but it was caught before they could do any damage. Who would find a sweet boy like you intimidating?

I've been "accused" of that myself.\n:)

Does seem a bit out of whack...now the one committing the crime is considered the victim of an uncaring society.\n\nMy favorite is that folks will be sent to jail for longer sentance for tax evasion than for a robbery & assualt or even rape.

Yes.\n\nI witnessed an altercation between people in two cars.  One car had a 20-something guy and his mother, and the other had this muscle-head/roid-ragey dude.  The first people pulled to the median after this guy was tailgating them and honking and stuff, and the other guy pulled into a parking lot nearby.  He got out of his car in a rage, ripped off his shirt (he was very muscular and apparently really proud of it), and he went running over to the other car and slammed his hand into the side of it so hard that it put a dent in the metal of the door.  He also reached in and tried to punch the guy inside the car.\nI called the police and reported the incident.  They took a statement from me at the scene.\nMonths later, someone served a subpoena on me (I was going to have to testify about the incident) but then I called back and they said it had been resolved.\n\nI also witnessed a hit-and-run accident involving minimal damage.  I turned around and followed the car that had broken the right-of-way (he ran a red light and got clipped by someone who had the green, but he kept going).  I got his license number, went home and called the local police for that area.  They thanked me and told me that someone had indeed reported being hit there.  I told them what I'd seen and offered to be a witness but they did not end up needing me, apparently.\n\nI'm no snitch, but I don't like it when people do harm to other people, or get all aggro on them, and don't get in trouble for it.  People need to be responsible for their actions, and I have no qualms about telling what I saw when someone does a dickish thing to someone else.\n\n\n-Jeffrey

I have been arrested 3 times. I was a bad teenager. 2 of the arrests were for shoplifting. The first shoplifting I tried to steal a can of formula for my baby. I had no money and had just moved to that state and knew no one. When I was sitting in the back of Wal-Mart waiting for the cop to come and get me the Wal-Mart people gave me a bunch of baby clothes, diapers, wipes and formula for my son. Then they sent me off to jail. I spent 18 hours there. Right when I got out of there I was about to call someone to give me a ride, when some cops walked up to me and arrested me. They realized I had a speeding ticket that I had never paid from 3 years earlier. They took me to a different jail, which was worse than the first one. I was there for 6 days because I had an out of state drivers license and they didn't want to let me get out on bond for fear of me going back to that state and not paying. So I had to stay in jail til the court date. My third time was shoplifting once again, but that time it was just for the thrill of it. It was hair dye.LOL The cop handcuffed me and took me to jail. Got my statement and info and fingerprints and pic. He asked me if I had ever shoplifted before and I said no. He believed me and obviously couldn't find my previous record of it, so he just let me go home without doin time. I learned my lesson anyway though. That was the last time I ever stole anything.

I was convicted for possesing drugs, I was sent to prison for 14 months, while I was in there, there was a guy who  assaulted his girlfriend, then drove around drunk with his 8 month old baby in the car. He was only sentenced to 6 months. It was so sad cause I got there 2 months before he did, and he was set free before I got out. Keep in mind that this was my first offense of any kind, (except traffic tickets). This is just one case, I could tell you a whole bunch of other cases that were Obviously worse than mine, and they got less time than I did....there is no such thing as justice in America!

Sure, you could file a civil suit.  If they've been convicted of the crime, you stand a better chance of winning the civil suit.

Have I ever! I was shopping for maternity clothes at nine am on a Saturday in a small shopping strip store when these teenage guys came running in with guns to rob the store! AT NINE AM! A MATERNITY STORE!  There was no cash in the register, there were no other customers, just me, and the clerk.  The one robber sat on the poor clerk and kept waving the gun in her face and saying "I should shoot you cuz you so damn ugly" and she was crying. I was inching toward the door and trying to get away while the other thief was talking to me as nice as could be," So-- when are you due? You want a girl or a boy? Is this your first?" It was just nuts!!!  Then my robber got the other one to agree to leave without hurting us and they ran out the door and got on a bus!!! It was just bizarre.  I swear every word I wrote is the truth.

By american law, you can not be charged with the same crime for the same incident. On a seperate occasion, yes. Also, there are other charges they can charge you with later for the same crime.

No, you are one of the suspects.  \nIt happened to me years ago.  My daughter was raped, he was arrested but the D.A. told us we had no case because she went into his apartment.  He spent the day in jail and was released.  I was prepared to beat the living day lights out of him or maybe kill him, but the D.A. told me I would be the first person picked up.  This happened over 15 years now and I still think about it.  I know who it is but lost his whereabouts.  \nOne of my plans, however, was to call him up and ask him if he new who it was.  Of course he would not recognize me, so I was going to tell him I knew what he did to my friend and the next time he has a party, he better throw out all the food he has because it might be poisoned.  I worked on that plan for years but never tried it.  I would probably have the D.A. checking my daughter for her trying to get back at him, so I forgot about it.\nMy only resolve is that I believe in God and He will repay and I would not want to be in that man's shoes.\nNo, there is not much you can do.  If he rapes again, he will be caught hopefully.

Well, let me tell you.  On March 27, 2006, I was robbed at gunpoint at my front door.( I am a female)   It was about 10:15pm, I approached my front door, had my keys out, looked over my right shoulder, and saw someone dressed in black, crouched down near my neighbors van.  I couldn't get in my door fast enough.  He came up to me, and I noticed he had a ski mask on and had a gun.  He demanded my purse.  I had a tote bag in my hand, which had my work clothes in it, and he thought that was my purse. He took it. He demanded I empty my pockets, he said it was all about the money and he was looking for cash, and that he wasn't going to hurt me. He noticed my diamond engagement ring, and wedding band, and demanded I give them to him. So, of course, I did. He then ran.  He was never caught.  THIS, is the scariest situation I have EVER been in.  I will NEVER be the same after that incident.   ( I live in Northeastern Ohio)
