there is no black and white. i am in this situation now. lawyers
can twisted anything.
on 6 june mon 7pm blk314 yishun, i caught red handed a mix indian
malay 18 yr old unrepentant and disrespectful thief stealing
funeral wake items and he was let off with stern warnings by a
police coporal.
On 19 sun 10pm, he threatened, wanted to hit me and assault me ,
hurl vulgarities . His mother and sister even have to restrain him.
it happened because he saw me looking at him and his sister near
blk 310 and i did not realise he is my next blk 310 neighbour and i
stay at adjacent 314. His shouting and insults brought his mother
down to outside provison shop at 310 and i told her i caught his
son stealing and reported to police and now he wants to wack me. i
restrain my self while he hurl threats and insults for more than 30
mins.
i told his mother , if her son touches me i will call police. she
assure me she will restrain her son. even as i left, the thief was
still hurling insults and intent to assault me.
Imagine grown man have to swallow all the vulgarities and insults
because of cannot strike back self defence law when still can call
police. i can take him down anytime, law prohibits.
i regret not calling the police because it sends wrong signal that
this thief and his friends can anyhow go threatening, hurl
vulgailties, intent assault at citizens and me. If he threatens me
again , i will definitely call police. but on what charge? not
stupid warning again?
His shouting and threatening acts caught attention with passerbys
and neighbours and probably shame the mother and sister as now most
neighbours knew he is a thief. they will definitely be on their
guard against him. No neighbour will feel secure if a neighbour has
a son as a thief. some has develop habit of stealing or
shoplifting.
when to call police, during hurling of insults and nearly hit me or
wait until he hits a few times and run away and then call police.
if let him hit a few times can get him jail , then worth it. but
others will think i coward.
if he hit me and i kick him in self defence, i will be serious
trouble.
thinking to go NPC or write in to NPC CO. How to find which unit he
stay without getting assaulted? The family will surely notice me if
i hang around.
Not to divert TS topic,i will post a new thread on a full account
of my situation for discussion.
