Some kid just sucker punched me right in my left jaw. And by kid I mean 17 years old, six feet tall, and 200 something pounds. Here is the deal, I was at work, and this scrawny pimply faced little fuck comes in, looks at our pint selection at Ben & Jerry’s, grabs a handful of about 4 pints and runs out the door. Even if I can’t catch him I can’t

Police report would have been a bitch, but it would have upped the violent assault stats in the city. Which might eventually have lead them to realize that hey, maybe they should do something about the violent teenage boys who try to start shit. At the very least it might make the parents realize that Davis teenagers aren't immune from becoming criminals.

And if their parents ever come down on you for vigilante justice you at least can say it was vigilante justice, or claim you were afraid they were going to attack you again, and not what their parents would claim, that you assaulted some innocent kids for no reason.

Police reports are really easy to file. At the very least it gives you leverage later on if something related happens.

Wow, I always felt so safe wandering around Davis.

I wonder if they're the same people that put up some of the bad graffiti I've seen. There's some good stuff here and there but some people are just scrawling their names or tagging for gangs they don't belong to.

I wouldn't feel sorry for anyone who got a public beating for being an asshole. I think it would be great if everyone showed up in costume and had uninvolved parties think it was just a street show though.

Reading that really pissed me off. I'd advise you to go through the proper avenues in getting this solved, but Davis police are so worthless when they have an actual crime on their hands.

Get well in the face, man.

That sucks, sorry...

I agree with Philip - with as civically involved as you've been lately, Rob, I'm really surprised you haven't reported this incident. That's what the cops are there for (other than giving out tickets), to me this would be the equivalent of not voting because you feel like your vote doesn't count, furthering the cynicism and learned helplessness.

Also, just imagine if the guy's parents notice that's something's amiss with the ammount of icecream he stole, and then read in the police blotter about this? ...Or what if this ass-pimple shows up for Free Cone day - you can make a big deal about it and redicule him in front of everyone.

and finally, don't you have cameras at the store?
