Ah, I thought this thread was about a social disease.  My bad. 

The gift that keeps on giving... And giving... And giving....

 
The FSF of course.

or just do the classic hood "I didn't see $h!+ officer"

Well, it is about a social disease the way I see it. ;)
 
The odd part is that, with every subpoena I receive, the charges get worst. What was a small time robbery when I was first summoned now involves home invasion, firearms and lots of nasty things.
 
Maybe I should take a tip from the cab driver of Asian descent who drove me back home the last time and told me to do like him and tell them - me so soleee, no speak uh engurish...

Doesn't work, they'll find an interpreter - staring blankly and ask "What?" in French a lot may be a better approach.

I've contacted the DA's office via e-mail and told them what had happened the last time in court and that I could not identify any of the suspect nor could I testify that any of them was actually involved in a criminal activity other than trespassing on our property. Everything else is purely circumstantial.
 
For once, I got the notice ahead of time - the court date is in August. I'm crossing fingers that they'll get my name off that frickin' list, once and for all if at all possible.

Rain , that sucks.  Did they at least reimburse you for the cab?

They will just say they have too many people to do that kind of thing, and you are the one that has to find out.
I would say further but I will just leave it at that.
And any emotion you had about it, will be put off also by them.
It is perhaps like talking to a log - a tree stump!
I can't get into how I think what should happen to them.
And then they will talk back but answer a question??
It goes round and round with them until they decide they have no more time to spend with you which is quickly.
Too busy, too this, too that, and...............!
And probably if you rile them up which will take nothing, they will think that perhaps you should be in jail.
Might as well talk to someone on the street and see if they want to talk about anything, you may get somewhere with that conversation faster.
