"I would kill to get a killionaire... 10 times... digitally."

I was returning from a two week stay at a military summer camp on a base. The Camp was 500 or so miles south of where I live. So we get off the highway that goes through my town and head down town to subway. (We wanted to get a bite to eat before going home.) As we stop at the light by the highway intersection (Coming back from town.) a Gold colored Honda Civic flies off the exit ramp, makes a quick turn onto the main road and then turns down a residential road. 5 seconds later, about 20-ish state trooper card follow him from the highway going about 90-100 miles an hour. They turn right like he did, but then miss the turn off to the residential area. We called 911 and told them they missed the turn. They caught the bad guy cause of us.

tl;dr Witness highspeed chase just before returning home after long road trip. 20 cop cars take wrong turn. We call 911 and ruin crooks day.

I don't think I've witnessed a violent crime, but did get to watch grand theft and attempted arson in action.

One night my dog started growling at the window. Something he does often when a animal or something passes by, but this one sounded a lot meaner. It was ~1 AM and I was at the computer playing some Rome:Total War. I got up and walked over to the window just in time to see two guys break the window out of the neighbor's Javelin across the road. At the time, I had a '98 Dodge Avenger that was still fairly new parked across the street. I was worried that would be hit next. So I grabbed the phone and snuck out to the porch to watch. I called 911 and was giving them a play by play while the guys ripped the stereo out of the neighbors car.

Just when it seemed like they were done, I heard one of them say "lets burn it". The other then walked around the car with some sort of metal flask, pouring it on the car. I told the police they better hurry up because they were about to light it on fire. As the two guys tried and tried to light whatever they had poured on the car, I saw the police coming coming down the street from both sides with their lights off. The pair of burglars saw it about the same time. They hopped in their car and floored it, only to find another police car blocking the street already. They tried to turn around but couldn't, and smashed head on into a retaining wall.

So their epic get away got them a block down the road before they totaled their ride. Then, the police came to get a statement from me. As I walked over to the scene with them pointing out where they were and what they were doing, we saw the metal flask they were using to douse the car with. Turns out it was brake fluid. Not particularly flammable. Was out there long enough to hear that the car the guys were in was stolen from an ex-girlfriend of one of the guys, and they were both legally drunk.

So, those guys had a hell of a night. Grand theft auto, breaking and entering, property damage, DUI, fleeing, and attempted arson. Not bad for 30 minutes.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

What Bungie and 343i have done to Halo should be a crime.

I've seen a druglord get shot up in front of his own store, across the street where I used to work, and had to give eyewitness testimony to the police officer. My testimony wasn't very helpful. Guy in a hoodie and jeans running down the block.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

A few times.

The first (and scariest) is when I was with my mom when she was working at a gas station at night. I couldn't have been more than 4 at the time. The place got robbed, and my mom was the cashier. I had no clue then, but now I think the guy was scum, as he was pointing a gun at a mom with kids.

Anyways, when I was 14 I was playing with my brothers in a park when a gang fight broke out around us. Our friends' dad had to lay down over his kids, and we hid under one of those stone park benches. I saw one of them, a Crip by the color of his rag, get shot in the ass.

Those were the highlights.

I'm guessing it was drugs.

You should have walked over and loudly said "Hey guys, I'm looking to score some illegal drugs. You guys have any illegal drugs I can purchase off of you? No? No, illegal drugs for sale today? Well, ok then, thank you. I guess I'll try to purchase illegal drugs off of you tomorrow morning?"

I witnessed two men being shot to death ins scuffle last year.

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

I saw someone break into a house to get their wallet back but as far as actual crimes go no. A crack head did try to rob me before but I easily saw that one and prevented it from happening.

I'm a college dropout.

Two guys tried to pull me out of my car once in my own -blam!- driveway. I don't even live in a bad town and I didn't see them coming when I was starting my car. They didn't manage to get me out though. Embarrassing for them.

Yes, I was in a gas station when it was robbed at gun point. I was 8.

Who needs a gun to rob an 8 year old?


Are you serious? I was just in the gas station (you know, witnessing), the clerk got robbed.

Derp, I misread.

I witnessed a gas station get robbed at around midnight. I ran to a cop that was 10 seconds away.
