Have you ever witnessed a crime?

Have you ever witnessed a crime or an assault on someone? I did witness a incident today. A youth was being beaten by some other youth with bats. He was crying for help and no one helped him. Everyone just stood there watching and no one tried to help the boy. I only hope that God spared his life and that the police came in time. I was driving by in my car when I witness the incident. Has you ever witness a violent crime?

yup. was terrible. the thing that always seems to puzzle me is why nobody helps.

Yup. Don't know if you would call it a crime, but assaults happened frequently in high school. Boys beating each other with metal piping and throwing stones at each other until it got bloody. Fighting with male teachers. Stabbing each other with knives. Was a regular war ground.

The whole school, would surround the boys and watch them fight. I hated it. But both boys were usually filled with hate that if you try to stop them, they would turn on you too.

Yep, myself. I have been held up at knive point and gun point. At home gunmen trailed a relative of mine early 1 morning jump the fence and held him at gun point. They order us to open up the house but my grandmother basically told them to go to hell and that she wasnt opening the house and they can't shoot him either. She told them if they shoot him she would ensure that they would be hunted down for the rest of their lives. Apparently they took her seriously, they robbed him and left.

I got held up by a man with a knive. He wanted a chain I had on. Of course he eventually got, but not the pendant.

I also saw a thief got shot, he held up the wrong man and paid for it with his life.

I was chilling on my way to the bus stop in Ja when a man rod eup in black suit and darkas walked up to a man and shot him. The man died on the spot and he ran to his car.

I was at my old school fete when all of a sudden, gun shots start to fire and every one got flat and started running.

At my old house, family feuds happened every Sunday. I witnessed my sis throwing hot pepper sauce in each other's eyes and tempting to throw acid at each other.
-I saw my sis's friend throw a big rock stone at my mother right in front of my face.
- Saw my other sis's friend take a figurine in his eyes almost blinding him while other figurines were thrown.
- Saw my other sis, grab a broom and beat the crap out of our neighbor.

hmmm I can Identify with Arch hmmm I frequently have participated in so called school wars when in High school. You see my high school is near a certain innercity ghetto area. that is how the area is classified and hmmm they frequently try to rob us and we have to fight and buss up two bwoy head and chop two to.

I was robbed once and people have attempted to rob me after much to their dissatisfaction since they more than likely end up with a knife in the gut or a broken bone or something like that. Hmmm I've witnessed drive beatings people being robbed.

I have seen a teacher beaten out of his clothes. :icon_mrgr

You know something that i have learnt in my highschool dayz and has stuck with me for a longtime. It's never you see someone in a war or being beaten and intervene. Why you are not the police nor family nor friend leave it alone. Chances are you will be turned on and may lose limb and maybe life.

Next thing you don't know what he did and that could be his payment. I witnessed citizens in the market beating a guy almost to death and then cutting up yellow yam and rub the stain him his cuts. You know what him his. Him was a tief. Him did rob a 80 year old woman. I have learnt also the hard way to leave people alone. Let the police take care of it. They are paid to do so.

Every month I witness robbery of a significant portion of my pay under the fraudulent pretence of "tax". :icon_cry:

Well, let's see....
1. My mom and I walked into our home one night after work and the burglers were still in the house.
2. I was mugged at knifepoint in Indianapolis, Indiana on night.
3. My car was broken into one night in Los Angles, Calif.
4. I was mugged at gunpoint one night in Los Angeles, Calif.

How many of those count? Is Jamaica any safer?
