Leg it

By BobbyHutchinson - 20/10/2009 15:57 - Australia

Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML

Lack of your fingerprints on the knife should show that you're innocent. I mean, it sucks. But at least they won't be lasting charges. :)

Did the thug call the cops? Why would a thug call the cops?

I wonder if the thug will sue for damages. If you didn't run, he wouldn't have run tripped and fell onto the knife. It's your fault, so your liable.

that is such a ridiculous slippery slope, its like saying 'if you didnt have unprotected sex i wouldnt have gotten pregnant so its your fault i'm suing you for emotional distress and also the cost of raising the baby until its 18'

oh really? that is the biggest bunch of bullshit i have ever read. so, if a robber is holding up a convenience store and i try to escape, resulting in the robber shooting himself in the foot in his haste to shoot me, i'm liable?

Of course he isn't worried about being convicted. It's still pretty ****** up to be detained for questioning just after having successfully escaped a mugger, and it wastes a lot of his time. FYL.

YDI for not having a concealed handgun license and carrying a firearm to protect yourself from the scum of the earth.

Not too sure, but I think Australia is the same as the UK with gun laws. I don't think guns are legal in the city's. Anyone know for sure?

Guns are illegal in Australia, unless you need it for your work (like farming or something).

Guns are unfortunately illegal to posses/carry for self defense purposes... You can thank NCGC, Martin Bryant, John Howard, GCA and other anti-gun propagandists. Alternatives such as Pepper spray, tazers and stun gun's are illegal too. As a matter of fact, if you use/carry anything for self defense in public, you can get charged for possession of an "offensive weapon". I really don't see how our Gun/Weapon control laws make us less like of the USA. There are other countries who take pride in guns (e.g. Switzerland).
