Okay, now I'm just PISSED.

The police never filed any of the reports they'd taken the 4th and 5th at my parent's house!  They wrote crap down but never turned anything in, so there's absolutely nothing on what happened over there.

But they filed a report on my sister's idiot boyfriend, the idiot boyfriend that got slashed with a knife, and he's sitting in a jail cell right now for felonious assault!

What the **** hell is wrong with these **** police?  Surely now there has to be something more we can do besides cause a stir.  Some person tried to shoot them all.  They stuck a gun to the window, aimed right at my mom as she came out of her bedroom, and fired.  Had that damned microwave not been sitting there, she very well could've gotten shot.  The rest of the damned bullets that weren't in appliaces were in the walls and ceiling by her bedroom door.

I'm so pissed off right now. 

I'd be pissed too.

I'd definitely continue to make as big a stink as you can. Contact the Chief of Police, City Hall, whatever...

And maybe suggest to dear old mom that if there's a Drug House nearby that, really, this ISN'T a nice, safe area afterall.

I second what HK said about perhaps it's not a safe area for your mum to live!

But I'm just going to chuck this out. Have they asked the police to explain to them why they have not filed reports about the shooting? They can and should give a clear explanation as to why they have only charged your sisters boyfriend. Once you have that explanation then you will have a clearer picture of what has gone on and therefore in a better position to know what to do about it.

I am not saying what has happened is right, but maybe just maybe there is a reason, something you are not aware of, or something which has been over looked.

 

Contact local news, around my neck of the woods they crawl all over a story like this.

I would raise hell about this.   This is wrong.

My ex used to say to me '****' falls hardest and spreads furthest when dropped from a great height.

Keep going with it and don't give up until you have the result that you were looking for.

Take care.

CD, you could file a civil lawsuit if you have the time/patience.

I'm sorry this is so frustrating!  Take care and good luck.

 

 

 

 

From now on keep copies of all of your reports. They should have given you a copy of each. If you go in person, they have to.

Moly dear, what did I tell you? :)

"They can and should give a clear explanation as to why they have only charged your sisters boyfriend."

 

:Anyway, the first mistake my sister's dumb boyfriend made was going across the street to confront the guy.  The two got into a physical fight and the dude who said he was going to kill everyone pulled out a knife and slashed the dumb boyfriend's knee open. :

 

He went on the other guys property, the law calls that self defense I thinks.

 

i have to wonder what pieces of this story we haven't heard.  i'm no great fan of police, but they usually have a "reason" for what they do.

not saying the police are right.  just saying there's probably some history/back story.

I guess if you don't want someone's opinion...maybe this belongs in your journal posted for your friends only. Telling someone to simply "shove it" doesn't seem constructive...it was only her opinion..and pretty logical.  (Okay, waiting for my turn to be told to "shove it"...go on...)

don't worry, monarch.  i think CD and i understand each other.  she reserves the worst of her insults for me, and i'm pretty clear about where her opinion of me stands in the grand scheme of things, so it's all good.

 I don't always agree with you either. But you are far more logical than emotional than many females, which is cool yet maddening at times. ... I love a good debate. (Ask my husband)  But good debates are lost when someone has no answer and just screams "SHaddup !!" I know this might be an emotional post from CD...but that is most of the problem here in the apparant situation she and her family are dealing with...people getting angry and reacting emotionally instead of logically and therefore "shooting themselves in the foot".  Some people are button pushers...and they rely on the crazy, emotional reactions they get from others. They don't usually have to do or say too much before the other party is insanely angry and confrontational. Then they stand back and watch while they look pretty good to the police..even though they in fact drew "first blood" (Rambo) This may be the situation here.

My ex bf had a neighbor who hated him. Really hated him. She called code enforcement on him endlessly. After yet another call..he went and knocked on her door and wanted to talk to her about why she did this so much. (Calmly mind you.) She was immediately a red-faced, sputtering, spitting ball of anger...screaming various things and finally telling him to get off her property. He did so, smiling, and told her to have a nice day...(okay, he shouldn't have added "sweetheart") Before he crossed the street she hurled a rock at him and hit him. He called the police. They had to go to court.

I witnessed the whole thing, I guess what I learned from it was NOT to feed in to someone elses anger...and you will probably irk someone more if you do not react and remain calm. Then they will do something punitive and probably be the ones going to the police station for a little visit. Not you.

CD-Call the Chief of Police right now.  Leave a message if he won't talk to you.  Then contact the media.  I am dead serious.  If your local officers won't handle this for you, the public pressure will probably force them to deal with it.  Then work on convincing your mom to move.
