Do not read if you don't like rants: Ok, got back from my g/fs place last night to find that some scut had tried to break into my car by crowbarring the passanger door. The previous night we had drunken and abusive students ringing doorbells and urinating on the doorstep. In the past I've also had my motorbike stolen and joy-ridden costing me in excess of $500 to repair. Recently I saw what could only be described as an assault on a young woman by her boyfriend. It only lasted a few seconds but I couldn't believe that people just looked and stood around. It's like what's good for society has become whatevers good for your own well being. Now in each of the above cases the law has been called in and only in the case of my motorbike did they manage to retrieve it, the damage done to it was horrendous and they failed to catch the thugs involved. In the rest of the cases they showed up too late for anything to be done.
I just feel that the law favors the criminal. Its only time I feel that people start resorting to their own tactics to get justice. Even if the cops do catch the people involved, these 'petty' criminals do damage, do a small bit of time and are out again before you can even blink. what happens to the victim? they're out of pocket, their premiums go up, they spend time tidying up the damage caused.
Just looking to get others opinions and storys of the bad guys getting away with 'murder'(and no OJ jokes please)
