)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!
Damn right BP!
It's not worth getting involved any more! We, as a society, are being disengaged from social interaction with those we our fellow man. People are no longer able to defend themselves. We are no longer allowed to defend each other, our homes, our property, out friends, our families.
In America they have The Bill of Rights. Even though their bill is being broken appart, it is still an outline of what we should look at for our own lives. One of the items is the right to protect/defend yourself.
We are no longer allowed to do that, legally!
The worst thing is, the person you protected yourself from, or protected someone else from, will be the only one in the situation that will press charges. They know you won't get locked up, but that also know it will cost you LOADS in legal fees. If you protect yourself, one of 2 things will happen. Either you'll get your arse kicked, but hey, at least you tried to help yourself. Or, you'll do well, win the fight, successfully defend yourself, then get nicked by plod. Once you're nicked, you'll be faced with either a fine, community service, cell time, prison time, or something like that. The rest of the time, the original criminal is out and about free as a bird!
This situation sucks!!!
