[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had heard there were online apologists for DC street crime, like the issue with overmoderated dc subreddits, but this thread is the first time I’ve seen them live! Wow, just wow.

Someone hit you, unprovoked, in a public place, and you didn’t call the police,  and you’re proud of it? My goodness. You’re crazier than your assailant.

So you wanted me to stay downtown, call police, wait for them to show up, and give a report where the only information I could give about the suspect was his gender and race and which direction he had been going however long before the cops got there, instead of just going about my business and going home? I wasn’t injured at all and there was no way they were going to make an arrest. Calling the police would have just been punishing myself for having it happen by wasting my time. [/quote]

NP. Not sure I would have called the police either but I certainly wouldn’t be touting that this as acceptable or ok and anyone who says otherwise is a “racist” who “should just move if they don’t like it.” Such a pathetic and immature response. And it does sound like something is wrong with you. I think you need to find a therapist stat. [/quote]

I never said anyone who said otherwise was a racist or that people should move. (I didn’t even say what race the guy was.) I didn’t say it wad acceptable or okay, I just said sometimes things can be upsetting or scary and that doesn’t mean you have to call the police about it.

I do see that other people in this thread are saying the things you’re quoting, but I can’t be responsible for their comments.  [/quote]

FWIW I also didn’t call police after a garbage truck swung its door open as it passed me while I rode my bike to work once years ago and the employees laughed — because it didn’t hit me (though it scared me pretty badly) and I didn’t get its license plate number. I don’t see the point in calling police if there’s no chance they’ll make an arrest. [/quote]

You don't seem to be able to tell the difference between assault and every day events. [/quote]

This was not assault, they tried to hit me but didn’t. [/quote]
