Re: Used Pepper Spray This Evening

I certainly agree with the point of not writing the letter if there were to be a true fear of retaliation from the DA. However, IMHO, I don't think you shouldn't write a letter because you won't think it will do any good. Had I not voted in the last presidential election, I don't think it would have changed the outcome of said election...but I was able to voice my opinion on the matter.

Assault. Whether it would stick or not is another story, but a young overzealous DA might just try to push the envelope and make a case. Trust me, I have seen trumped up charges from LEO's and DA's before and while they end up getting dropped, it can sure cause a major hassle for the individual.
There is a member on the Forum, I'm sorry I don't remember who, with a sig line that states something to the effect of "For evil to succeed, a good man is to do nothing". While I know this situation is not quite that drastic, and I wouldn't encourage the OP to set himself up for future problems, I personally think it just stinks that he may have to fear repercussions for doing something he feels is right and just, even if it is something as simple as a letter.

Just one man's opinion... :tiphat:

Re: Used Pepper Spray This Evening

Wow. Just wow. You deal with peeping toms and aggressive homeless guys in the matter of a few weeks. The worst thing that has happened to me lately was whether or not the LEO doing radar was turning around for me or the other guy...(it was the other guy).

Glad to hear everything turned out well for y'all. Bet you are just about ready to get back to the great state of Texas!
