and one final involvement with police was the time I was beaten up by about 15 teenagers, just round the corner from my house, at the time (in Darcy - when the chippy used to be still there before the corner shop extended into it). Luckily not much damage, only a few bruises and a couple of lumps on my head - although the did try, a few times, to get me on the ground to start kicking me in. Worst thing was I gave a statement and the CPS actually said they would not take them to court as the ring-leader and a few others were from thw youth hostel, just off Long Lane, and the CPS did not want to jeopardise their futures by taking them to court - f'in pathetic (and yes that is the main reason as to why i left the UK - the country is too f'in soft on these kids nowadays - as seen in the riots this week!)
I started a thread about being arrested and you talked about being a witness. I start this thread about witnessing crime and you talk about being a victim. I'm not sure you're getting this forum business.
