I used to go to a hardcore bodybuilding gym when I lived up North and I learned something interesting, if you're going to commit a crime, make it a big one, then quit while you're ahead. The simple reasoning was that you're very unlikely to get caught. I was also taught to have friends that would vouch for me under any circumstances. Then I have an alibi as well as enough people to hold up in court. Further to that, if you commit a crime as a group and everyone stays silent, then you're not going to get caught if nobody else sees/records the crime. Crazy hu?!?!?
I've not gone and taken that advice/information. But if you're every going to do anything, now is a good time.
Last time I stopped a crime (a mugging) I got cautioned by the officer to never do it again, because I'll be prosecuted for kicking the poop out of another person, even if they're in the process of breaking the law (yes you heard that right, screw a citizens arrest! If they fight back and you knock them down and give them a kicking, you get locked up!!!) Nowerdays, you're best off just ignoring it.
It's times like this that vigillante style law enforcers (yes, like Batman-style) are needed!
your right Scythe, in the "old" days(back in the mists of time
)i would have stepped in and done something if i saw a crime being committed, but these days i'm more inclined to mind my own business and not get involved, its not worth the hassle, especially if i had to defend myself and then get arrested for assault!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
