Brother? Yourself from a different dimension?!?

(Assume you approached the culprit, and he denies and won't turn himself in, though you can tell 100% it's him)

I want to call the police - but would I? I'd do it anonymously - Epiphany Aug 10, 11:13
what if it was *you* like you were just jogging along with your music, didn't realize that lady you jostled fell over like that -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 10, 10:45

    - Not only does it not need to cause injury, it doesn't even require *intent* to cause injury. -- (link) - mara Aug 10, 11:35
    - There doesn't need to be an injury for there to be a crime. - znufrii Aug 10, 11:35
    - The only way it's not a crime is if it's an accident or with consent. -- nm - mara Aug 10, 11:33
    - It's assault. -- nm - Roger More Aug 10, 11:10 1
      - (well, battery in the UK) -- nm - Roger More Aug 10, 11:13
- I think the lady in the video was not seriously injured, but she was almost hit by a bus due to the guy's action -- nm - Guigue Aug 10, 10:47 2
  - Yeah, even if she wasn't hurt, he put her life at risk. -- nm - Roger More Aug 10, 11:00 1
    - the bus driver deserves a metal -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 10, 11:44
Yes, i would for all except myself from another dimension. That would be too mind-blowing and i'd have bigger issues to work on. -- nm - Andie Aug 10, 10:44 1
- For one thing, it could be like that Jet Li movie and they're here to kill you. - thewrongelement, bad guy Aug 10, 11:39
