Have you ever witnessed a crime?

Back in late 1996 or early 1997, I was walking home from the bus one night and I saw two guys breaking into a car. I starting walking really fast before they saw me 😆.

Been mugged 3 times. #1 no weapon, #2 gunpoint #3 Knife point. Some weenies call that redistribution of wealth....I still call them crimes.
@latinbutterfly #1 was Comisky Park, #2 was outside the Aragon Ballroom, #2 was Rush Street.
@CruiserCruiserCruiser It's a good idea to have someone with you, or carry some pepper spray for the possibility of that.
@latinbutterfly I agree. I was not alone for all of them. I prevailed in #1, #2&3 just gave them what they wanted.

Yes, a group of teens gathering behind a storage trailer and then throwing a concrete block through a rural convenience store window...they made off with a lot of cartons of cigarettes....police got there too late.
Last month while walking to the station from work, I witness this guy stealing a bike, he had this huge pin cutter, cut the lock put the cutter back in his bag and rode off 😮

nice one mama bear, the things insured no need risk life and limb,😛
@english Yeah, I didn't call the police out of concern for my life. Snitching in the hood can be deadly 😆.

@latinbutterfly cant be too careful ,mama 😂 cheers for sharing .🙃
You didn’t call the police once you were safe?
@SinlessOnslaught Not that I recall, because I assumed if they saw me then they would probably figure who called the police, and they would end up looking for me eventually.
@latinbutterfly Good point.

Sure, nothing traumatic but crimes are pretty common.

Nothing as crazy as finding a dead body in the grass as a kid 😳
@MellyMel22 I need to find out who that man was lol. Can I ask what year it was, what location, etc?

@SinlessOnslaught It was Pelham Pkwy and I don’t remember but I’m assuming late 80’s because I moved to another area there in I believe 88.
@MellyMel22 Thank you

I've seen quite a few. Lived in a real rough part of town. Drove up in my boyfriend's car while someone was breaking into my car. Witnessed multiple drug deals on the street. Seen prostitutes get in cars. Witness fights, hit and run accidents, and etc. My Dad one day woke up to the cops in his front yard someone was shot in the head and left in his yard. The house behind his was a known meth house.
@SW-User I grew up in violent gang territory in Chicago, and maybe 3 blocks from a major intersection which at the time happened to be a major gang hangout spot at night. When I started college, my parents told me do not take the bus at night that stopped at that intersection, lol.

@latinbutterfly Yes I forgot I was mugged on public transit one night. Punch in the head they took my bag and ran off the bus
@SW-User Wow...I actually carried a blade with me in my purse for the possibility of something like that going down.

When I was really young, I saw a man stabbing the heck out of another and can still see and remember that vividly, to this day.

In 2017 I watched two Iraqis beat to death an alleged isis fighter.

Then they shot him like 30 times.

Then they beat his corpse with their shoes.
@User41 Oh my! 😮
