That reminds me of
I witnessed my friend getting hit by a car. We were so scared. The cops came and we had to answer a bunch of questions. It was terrifying and i never want to experience something like that again. We also had to go to talk to a lawyer about what happened.
ReplyDeleteOh snap. Thats crazy... Did they live?
Deletei agree i would never want to experience something like that
DeleteThat reminds me of when i was 6 , I used to live in a bad neighborhood. Gangs would always be coming to my neighbors house and throwing rocks and stuff at his window until one of them brought out a gun. My mom called the cops , we were asked a ton of questions about our neighbor. Later on he got arrested.
DeleteI agree.....it's very scary, i was in the store when my mom got hit by a car right in front of the store i was in.
DeleteMy friend was driving a motor cycle and her aunt was on the back. All i herd was the motor running since it was so loud. Suddenly it stopped. I see her running towards me screaming "Call 9-1-1." She has blood all over her. I start running toward the accident and she runs back with me. I see her aunt laying there with blood and the motor cycle on top of her. She turned to quickly and they both fell going 60 mph. As i called 9-1-1 i explained to them what happened and they rushed over there. She couldn't move and her leg was deeply wounded, She eventually got to the hospital and her leg had to heel for 9 months. My friend was okay with just a few cuts and bruises, but she has the image she can never forget.
DeleteI was once a witness of a car crash. It was pretty scary, and it also happened on my birthday. I was in the car on the way to get my sister for DSC, when we heard sirens. We didn't know where They were coming from, so we slowed down. When we were approaching a turn, the fire truck made a sharp turn. It forced my mom to slam the breaks, and the truck behind us didn't. He rammed into the back of us, and smashed our car to bits. It looked like someone blew it up with a tank. Luckily, we were all fine and the cops appeared and asked us some question. I have never skipped school on my birthday again.
ReplyDeletethats crazy, did the other people in the car that crashed die?
Deletewhen i was about 12 years old i was at my grandparents, and they live in a very rural area. me and my friend had overheard my grandparents and his parents talking about a guy that lives in the neighborhood that has a criminal record of releasing exotic animals and they wanted to make sure he wasn't doing it in there neighborhood. so me and my friend decided that we would do there job for them and we had ended up seeing him feed this huge python so we told are parents and they called the cops on him and we had to tell them what we saw, and eventually he was arrested again.
ReplyDeleteoh gosh . why did you guys do the job for them? it could've been dangerous
DeleteThis reminds me of a movie. With a little less action.
DeleteI would of told on him to because i don't like snakes in general.
DeleteYou could of got hurt. Why would you do such a thing?
DeleteI've witnessed a few bad things happen but i haven't told anyone. I've seen a girl get into a fight but she didn't even want to fight.she tried walking away but the other girl just started punching her.The girl didn't want to fight and she didn't fight back. I didn't say anything because i assumed someone else would tell and i was walking home. I didn't want to be part of all the drama.
ReplyDeleteI disagree you should have told and tell everyone your perspective
DeletePeople in movies seen people kill someone and they want to tell the police. They ended up getting kidnapped and forced not to say anything. By threatening their family or holding a loved one against them . They usually do tell people after they have gotten away and they try to find a way to get the person in jail if they aren't already.
ReplyDeleteIve seen my friends cheating off each other. even though cheating is wrong i didn't say anything. Because they're my friends and if they wanna fail they can. But cheating is like the only bad thing i've witnessed. i didn't say anything because it was really petty.
ReplyDeleteI agree, its there choice if they wanna fail or not.
DeleteAgreed. I think. but i also disagree because i would have said something. Since there my friends i would have told them there doing something wrong and if they don't listen that there problem. At least you tried.
DeleteI have been asked by police before. I got into a fight with this girl Ashlee, all over her boyfriend. It was this past summer, I had summer school and I was walking with my friend Tiffany and Katelyn to Tiffany's house. Ashlee seen me walking on the side of the streets and she was with her brother Nathan, her boyfriend RJ and my friend Neal. She ended up asking me is "wanted the head up" and I told her no. Me and my friends stopped to talk to our friends and Ashlee followed and asked me again, and again I told her no. She asked me why and I gave my reason and then she just hit me. I didn't fight back because I had no reason to. One of my friends that witnessed that hole thing ended up calling the police. My mom had to take me to the Police station to file a report. I had to tell the cop everything that happened, why it happened, who was with her, who was with me, what happened during the fight and after the fight. He ended up taking pictures of the marks she left me. There are many other things I have witnessed due to school fights, school bully's etc. and my parents. There was also a time were my bestfriend Ovalles scooped me and my friend Sabrina and we snuck out with some other friends and someone called the police because my boy Justin was being really loud and the cops that showed up ended up being a behavioral cop or something for all the kids that have a curfew, and Justin had one. So the cop took him the second they rolled up into the parking lot, now he is in Trainy. Over all, that was a fun night ahaa.
ReplyDeleteI witnessed my best friend getting jumped outside of the mall. It sucked because I was the only girl there and there was a bunch of dudes. I couldn't really do anything. He got the crap beat out of him but when he got up he defended himself and I helped him..... He had to go to the hospital because they broke his arm. Cops came while he was in the emergency room and we both had to explain what happened, in detail.
ReplyDeleteI would never want to experience that.
DeleteI witnessed one of my friends get into a fight out of school. It was too funny. The police showed up and were asking a series of questions. Nobody said anything so we all sorta got in trouble. My friend was put in hand cuffs and so was the other person.
ReplyDeleteI once witnessed some get bullied and it escalated to a fight breaking out. It got to the point where i had to step in and break it up before one of the kids would of had brain damage from being hit in the face so many times. When administration came and got both the kids i was being questioned by the correctional officer for being the one that broke it up. I told him what had all happened and said that it was caused by bullying, i told him that Ive seen this bullying go on for awhile, but had never spoke up. After that day i realized that i should've reported it a long time ago than to just let go on and have some kid seriously hurt.
ReplyDeleteI agree because thats a god thing to witness and its good you ended up telling. But all you "I" should be capitalized :-)
DeleteI have witnessed many bad and wrong things happen. One thing that I have witnessed is one of my family member's had a warrant out for them. They hid from the police so they wouldn't get arrested and go to jail. My family and I knew where they were so we told the police where they were and they got arrested and went to jail.

ReplyDeleteYou make good points.
DeleteA few weeks ago, I witnessed a few kids at my bus stop had lighters and weed. One kid said “No I can’t do it, I can’t go to school smelling like weed and get in trouble” and the other kids kept telling him to do it, he won’t get caught. So he lit the end of it, and they all started smoking. When they saw the bus coming, they hurried and hid everything in their bags, an one kid pulled out cologne and sprayed everyone that smoked with him. I didn’t say anything at first and I don’t know why but I waited after school till I got home to tell my mom what happened and she called and told the school what happened because she didn’t want other peoples kids to suffer with that smell on them because when I got home I had the smell on my clothes and she questioned me about the smell.
ReplyDeleteI agree, that was the right thing of you to do :)
DeleteI agree and to tell someone that your close too and comfortable with telling, but you also should of solved the solution sooner by telling the bus driver or something when you got off the bus
DeleteYes I have witnessed something bad before and majority of the time I'm at my moms work so there is really no need to report it because she knows. I get to help a lot at her work because I have more knowledge about internet and stuff. There was a guy who posted something on Instagram and they couldn't get on there so I got them hooked up with a false Instagram and taught them how to use it. I'm ver fortunate to have a loving mother who will let me sick by her side, especially since I love what she does and I hope I can do exactly what she does.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was about 7 years old and I was at my friends house and it was starting to get late so I was going to exit, but there was a knock. I stood there confused and looked through the window carefully and saw a guy in his mid-twenties standing at the front door. I called my friend over and he also looked out the window, and apparently the guy had a gun. We awoke his parents and they called the police, and after the police arrived we were question about the guy at the door and what he was doing while he was at the door. The guy was arrested in the end when we told the cops on how the guy tried to enter the house but couldn't since the door was locked.
ReplyDeleteI've witnessed my parents getting into a really huge argument for no apparent reason. I wanted to do something, but not at the same time. I was literally in tears when my mom pulled out a kitchen knife and my dad was throwing stuff. It was just a bad experience. I kept yelling at my brother to call the police because I wasn't doing it, as much as I wanted them to just end the fighting. It was still pretty funny though like when my mom stepped outside to continue her complaining, and my dad wet her with the hose.
ReplyDeleteI feel you when i was little my biological mom and dad would always fight. You don't want to put one of them in jail but at the same time you know they were in the wrong.
DeleteAnother example is when I was in Arizona, we rented our first house to a man. He seemed very trustworthy, but we later on found out that he was a former gang member, who hadn't payed a debt. So one day, we come over to the house because the cops called us. When we arrived at the scene, the house was torn up. Bullet holes riddled the walls, and the tree out front was gone! I liked that tree. The cops then asked us a few questions, and arrested the guy living in the house(He was also a drug dealer).
ReplyDeleteI agree some people might seem trustworthy but in the end they are a different person.
DeleteWhen I was I lived in a not so good . When you walked around you could pint out the "druggies" and the non druggies. I remember one night i heard people screaming at one another. A few hours later we heard a knock on our door. I guess the people that were arguing got into a fist fight and one guy knocked out our neighbor. We were asked if we new him, if so how well. We soon found out they got in a fight over drugs.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my story. With less guns.
DeleteThis reminds me of where I used to live. I grew up in a bad area as well with druggies and alcoholics walking up and down the street, and the cops would always question us on certain people that they're finding.
Deletethis reminds me of when i lived in pine grove when there was this really big gang fight and the fight lasted for like 15 minutes and the cop weren't called and me being ten years old i just watched from on top of somebodies car.
