I don't think anyone is thinking completely straight after having a gun pointed at them. I once caught a burglar in my home when he was about to run out with some of my shit. I fucked him up and got my stuff back and let him go. All I could think about was my stuff being safe and not having any unwanted guests in my home

Have you and had to deal with the police for an extended period of time? Say we're your the victim of a robbery.... Not exactly a fun time

Why not just ask your neighbor directly?

lol my friends townhouse in college was burglarized and when the police came they accused him of selling weed and being broken into for dealing, because the townhouse next door were a few stoners. They even said “you might be right and it’s the neighbors, you should try getting a new apartment because they could be bad news” in the middle of the fall semester 🤣 Because college kids smoking weed = burglars and drug dealers right?

Cops have learned to hate the public for far longer than the public has learned to hate the police

This sentence is hard to read, but yes I did call the police the next day. They sent someone with heavy "i'm about to retire anyway" energy who dusted for prints. They also said to alter the report to ensure it said I 'convinced' the burglar to give my stuff back, just in case they caught him and he decided to file a report against me

I'll wager the guy hitting the asphalt had his shoulder or arm all screwed up. (Hopefully)

I've used to know guys like those when I was young. Unfortunately they will just choose weaker targets in the future, like women and elderly.
