No good deed…

Anonymous - - Netherlands

Today, someone was getting beat up by 6 guys. When I tried to help, they had a swing at me as well. The cops came when I was enthusiastically defending myself. They got away, I got arrested. FML

I'm sure the guy you were trying to help will speak for you.

haha.. I bet you were dressed in a green leotard and announced "I'm kickass" before jumping in to help.

In the Netherlands, you can be arrested and found liable for the damage a group of hooligans causes just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time like if they run when the cops arrive and you’re just standing there innocently as an eye witness. You may be forced to pay for the damages and you can technically claim the costs back from the hooligans… if you can find them. If not; then it’s not your lucky day and you gotta pay… and It’s all completely legal.
