So, Saturday night, a brick shattered the front window of my apartment. I noticed it, went outside and flagged down a cop car that was passing by. They came in, filed a police report and left, not really looking for the brick (it's still on the front porch). Well, I'm writing this blog because there's more to the story and I don't know what to do. The person who is responsible for the brick is named Porky. Yeah, that's his name. He is an SD. He's 20 years old and lives two houses away from me. I'm pretty sure he got someone else to throw the brick but he is the one who wanted it done. Let me tell you about Porky.
This kid was sent to jail for something he supposedly didn't do. He took the blame for someone else because he's in a gang. So, when I moved into my neighborhood, he was locked up. Well, he got released and is on parole. You would figure that if you are on parole, you have to follow a strict schedule and your activities are monitored. Well, not Porky. He checks in whenever he feels like it and is always out and about. You would also figure that he would be required to find a job, finish school, do something else but he keeps his lazy butt on the street. He had a job for a while, selling drugs from his house but I don't see them doing that anymore. The cops know who he is and they had him in cuffs a couple of times since he's been released.
The whole time, his family has defended him, out of love, and have said that he's not that bad. Really, he doesn't fit the mold, if there is one, of someone in a gang. Both of his parents are together, they both love and care for him. His family, is by far, not a bad family. But, he became an SD and that's all he lives for now. Well, now he has hit his girlfriend, twice that I know of. He has yelled at his mom, who protects him regardless of he situation, and has hit his dad. This brings us to Saturday night.
I am dating Porky's sister. She is a great girl and even though we had some rough times, we are at the point where I feel the rough times are behind us… well, outside of this glaring problem. Porky, my girlfriend and her children all live in the same house. I was over with my girlfriend, trying to decide what to do. Porky enters and uses the house phone to call his mom to ask for the car. His mom says no. Well, he proceeds to call her a bitch. My girlfriend told him that he shouldn't call him that and he got pissed. He started saying how he's an SD and doesn't have to listen to anybody. He started dropping f-bombs everywhere, saying that he could do anything he wanted and she nor I was going to stop him. I kept my mouth shut since he's a punk and I really didn't want any trouble. I finally get my girlfriend to come into the room and close the door. She keeps talking and he hears her, tells her to fuck herself and to shut up. Well, my girlfriend doesn't like it and now we have round 2.
Porky next says that he's going to hit her. He says "fuck you and your kids too", at which point, my girlfriend gets really upset (you don't talk about anybody's kids). She is yelling at the top of her lungs at this point. Now, I'm not sure what was said but it is at this point that he gets closer to her and says that he's going to hit her. Now, as much as I keep my mouth shut, it's not out of fear but because Porky is pretty puny, barely 150 pounds and so I would stomp on him. It wouldn't even be a fair fight. But, when he approached my girlfriend, I told him that he wasn't going to do anything. He looked at me and said that he is going to shoot me once I come outside and "we'll see what's up". Ever since then, I've seen him once more, Sunday afternoon, talking to his dad. He saw me glaring at him and he just smiled. That's when I knew he was responsible for throwing the brick.
Now, what's the point of my blog? It's that our justice system is flawed. I can go to the police and say all of this but they won't do anything because I don't have hard evidence. Nobody saw him throw the brick and just because he said what he said, he did not act upon his threat. It'll be my word against his and his mom because she will protect and lie for him. She has done so in the past. As a matter of fact, the moms said that it's my fault for opening my mouth. My girlfriend is worried now because he is liable to shoot me or jump me on my way home. And it won't be me fighting just him, he'll bring his whole crew with him.
The system must change. Everybody knows who is doing what in the neighborhood, even the cops but they won't do anything until something happens.
