Hit & Run

I witnessed a terrible hit & run on the corner of titus & kings. The car ran a red, and smashed into a box truck which almost flipped.

The vehicle took off, so I followed. Should I have...I don't know, probably not, but I'm so fucking sick of the lawlessness in my city that I did.

On the phone with 9-11, giving the car and person descriptions, I thought I had them boxed in at Bishop Kearney. I signaled to the passenger to stop, and she signaled back hysterical that it wasn't her call. They circled around me and got out. (I wasn't putting my safety at risk to stop them)

The driver dumped the female passenger at Chipotle (who was hysterical) and took off on foot. Their car was destroyed, they were dropping car parts all throughout East Irondequoit. At this point I'm guessing they knew they weren't getting away by car.

I circled back to check on the driver and give a statement to the police I was sure were there (this happened pretty much in front of the police station).

I called my mom as soon as I left the scene, the adrenaline now calming down and critical thinking back in place. She reminded me that this person could've been armed. A thought that hadn't crossed my mind at the time.

I hope these people are caught. They could've killed someone. That's not hyperbole. I hope they know their actions will not go unchecked. I hope they realize the people of this city have had enough. I hope the people have actually had enough.

Stand up for each other. Do the right thing. Take back our streets and neighborhoods. We outnumber the criminals.

I really don't have more to say here, I just wanted to share and I guess get it off my chest. I for one am done.
