Particularly because his situation could have been similar if someone hadn't stopped those fucks.

The other day, when I was biking to work, I saw an old man fall doen at a corner, his pseudowalker sliding 3 feet away. There were other people 10 ft away...

I was on a bike approaching and at first I felt uncertain, stopping in front of someone in clear distress. Then I extended my gloved hand and helped him up, letting him use my bike as a "walker" to brace while I leaned over and retrieved his walker.

He limped away, horrifically embarassed at his accidental weakness. I continued on my way to work.

I felt proud that when no one else wanted to, I took charge.

A measure of character.

I want to be man enough to stand up for people like Creed if I witnessed an attack. I think I can. I will know it when I see it

I know it. Back in the day, when I used to stroll through some less reputable neighbourhoods, I helped a guy that was getting mugged by 2 jerks, despite there were alot of other people walking the street. I guess seeing a big guy like me yelling and going for them was enough to drive them away, and then I stayed with him till the cops arrived. Phew, luckily at the time the cops didn't thought of searching me, because I was carrying a decent amount of drugs Tongue

Update: One of the fuckers was arrested and they've identified the other two.

Moros: I think you'd do just fine there. The problem is we're told as a society to not get involved, but getting involved is exactly what people need to do. It's not mob justice if the mob is stopping a crime from happening to begin with, after all.

That's awesome! \o/
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Excellent.

Just a thought -- discuss with an attorney and file a civil suit as well. Maybe find a lawyer who will work on a percentage. You may be able to get a judgment and attach their property -- bank accounts, cars, house. Of course, low-life shitbags may not have much in the way of assets, but who knows?

Even if they don't have assets, you can destroy their credit for years and make them think very carefully before ever doing such a thing again. Make their lives hell.

Document everything. Record everything.

No it isn't, provided that the mob doesn't declare guilt and carry out the sentence on the spot. Stopping a violent assault will do nicely.

That's wonderful news! I was hoping you'd be bringing this news.

There's a fine line isn't there? I hate violence - I mean, I love violence in movies, and books, but I detest it in life. Violent people do not have a place in society.

Facepalm you're excused
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

I am glad they have been identified, and you ok. Just do us all a favor and bring the hammer of law if not, time for some vigilante justice lol, just kidding. Seriously though, get well soon.
