Did the perpetrator get caught and punished for it?

I've been mugged 3 times, my car was broken into/radio stolen, and a crazy homeless guy jumped on the hood of my car and started banging on the windshield threatening to murder me. In all of those instances, to my knowledge, the people were never caught or arrested. In the last case, there was actually a police man about 20 feet away, but I guess he knew the homeless guy from previous experiences and didn't really do anything at all to help, he just told me he was harmless. Made me lose faith in the officers around here lol.

I was mugged once - fortunately he was drunk and only managed to throw me to the ground after I refused to give him my wallet. I was able to get up and run before anything else happened, and I had no idea I could run that fast.
It was reported to the local police station more for statistical purposes than expecting any worthwhile result, like an arrest. They took a statement but there was nothing more could be done.

Another time my car was broken into and the radio stolen. I was more annoyed because there was a new tape in it I'd only just started listening to than the broken side window and missing radio! :lol:
I just shrugged this one off: my insurance costs would have gone up if I claimed for the (cheap) radio and damage, so I paid for the repair myself. A replacement second-hand radio was obtained easily enough too although since then, every car radio I've had is the type with a removable front.

armed robbery

The idiots were still hanging around near where they attacked me when the police drove me around the area just in case they might still be there. Two of them went to jail, but the third one got away.

This is one thing I really don't like about this country where I live now. My country is so much safer.

It's a toss-up between domestic violence, which went unreported, and animal cruelty. The animal cruelty one was when the cokehead shot my dog. I reported it but it wasn't a serious enough crime at the time, and although I knew who did it, it was his word against mine and he was a judge's son.

Also, my car was stolen and vandalized and I'm pretty sure an ex-boyfriend who was a locksmith did it,

AND my best friend's little brother was murdered in 1992. He was shot to death in a gang initiation killing (he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time--the killer was the gang-banger). The guy got caught and is still in prison He has been denied parole many times now. I count myself as one of the vicitms of this crime because of the effect it had on my oldest, and pretty much only friend, which in turn affected me deeply.

Why is it horrible people are so often stupid?

The worst thing that's happened to me is I was pushed to the ground by someone and knocked my head on the pavement. I bled heavily and became unconscious.

Assault with a deadly weapon (cricket bat; attempted murder isn't pushing it if it connected--lucky I was twice the size of said person and with years of martial arts training). Didn't get to the battery stage (disarmed him and threw the bat away).

Had plenty of fist sized rocks thrown at me too around the same time, by the same people from above (there's a potentially lethal wound if one connects to a head).

High school years, and being autistic, I couldn't bring it up. So, no, I suffered in silence. Hopefully they grew up and lost their anti-social ways.

Naturally, I did nothing to provoke these (I'm a big, slow and soft type).

As an adult, assault. Dude was shouting at his ex, grabbing her arm while she tried to get away. I tried to stop him, he swung his skateboard at me a couple times. Not the only time I've been attacked but the broken ribs were the worst injuries I've ever gotten from another person.

Have had guns pulled on me. Or, to be more exact, only one actually pointed at me. The other time the guy just flashed it to scare me. Been beaten. Been robbed. Had my identity stolen once, they were using my account numbers in freakin' Israel.

As a kid... well, let's not get into that.

I was sexually assaulted by a man in a wheelchair around this time of the month, 6 years ago. He told me he needed help with his zipper and than he tried to french kiss me. I gained a bunch of weight after it happened and I've managed to lose 25 lbs of that weight doing my Wii Fit+.

It's a toss up between all the rapes, sexual assaults and the attempted murder. All were pretty awful for different reasons. Only one got 'punished' - 12 months probation and no criminal record for a sexual assault.

I girl I was just barely beginning to court in high school thought head games and playing hard-to-get were fun things to do. I didn't and dropped her like a hot potato. (We'd shared a few hugs, ONE kiss - nothing else.)
She didn't like me not "playing the game" so she spread vile rumours about me for months until I finally had to flee the school for my life because the whole football team was waiting to beat me to death (no exaggeration.)

Not long after that I was called to come in to the police station because she tearfully accused me of grabbing her privates, etc. Being an aspie, my strange presence just said "guilty" to them, so they sent me to court. In court, my oddness (and the fact my case was on the anniversary of a massacre of many women) my case was made a political statement to "all men everywhere" and was sentenced to far more than the law dictated for a boob/crotch-grabbing offense should be. 9 months in prison.

The only good news in all of this was that I was placed in solitary confinement so I wouldn't be raped, and that the crown prosecutor (her defender) was the one to think it was a grave injustice and find me a new lawyer! I still stayed in that prison for ~2 terrifying weeks with human animals before getting let out pending a retrial (and hefty bond!) The case would eventually be thrown out, thankfully on the panel of 3 judges, the woman was the one who saw the girl's actions for exactly what they were, and that tears alone are not proof of any crime!

The travesty and financial loss would affect me for many, many years.

Small wonder I have such an extreme distaste for false accusation! :?


Where is SHE now after all this? A political science master and CEO of two different (tiny but slightly profitable) businesses. Living high on life, burning through two husbands and working on #3, and trying to be center-stage whenever she can. For her, manipulating people is both fun and profitable.

*sigh*

Sorry to say this, but these things are typical to happen to aspies like us.
