RE: " I don't believe this guy"

your cynicism sucks. but here goes...

The police needed witnesses to the attack, I stood by as they arrested him, one car took the bad guy to Midtown North -- another car took me and another witness to the station. Police asked us to wait for ~ 1 hour and then came and took ciontact info, statements etc. -- they had already inspected the weapon, talked to the suspect, etc and they told us what they knew - e.g gun was loaded no saftey , long rap sheet, crazy ramblings etc.

early this morning the arresting officer arrived at my home to serve me a SUBPEONA to appear b4 the Grand Jury so they can lock this guy up. I guess at part of an effort to convince me taht it is really iomportant that I show up - he mentioned that the guy has a previous murder convicting.

Can't believe you'd accuse someone of making something like this up -- for what purpose?

Welcome to FR. Don't pay them no mind. They are just jealous. ;)

Sounds like you had quite an adventure. Glad to see a group of people responding to incidents such as this. If this had been the norm over the past few decades, we would be in a lot better shape as a nation! God bless and thanks for the first-hand post.

If you lived in the right Council district (Spanish Harlem), you could have voted for a convicted murderer in the primary. Now you can vote for Bernie Goetz today in NYC. What is it Cindy Adams always says?

Beats me. Just doesn't ring true to this skeptic.

But nice to see that last night's arresting officer had a subpeona ready for you early this morning. Quick.

People do come here and post lies. I happens a lot. It's usually people who have joined very recently. I think all newbees are suspected of being a disrupter. Don't take it personaly. Welcome newbee and glad you stood up.
