Should he be reported

[Aequitas58]

WHAT THE FUCK. I just typed a monster post... was proofreading... pressed backspace, and IE went crazy on me. Post draft deleted. LOL.

Ok, here's the deal - I have two main reasons for not pursuing legal action, as well as a few miscellaneous comments to follow:

Reasons*

1. My hectic life. (a) I'm buying a house and close on the 31st of this month, (b) My mom had a stroke last month, the family is recooperating, and we're helping her along the slow road of recovery, and (c) I don't work a normal job... it's not the normal 8 hr. days. It's not like I couldn't pursue action around all of these things, but if I just let it go, it's just one more thing off my plate.

2. Second chance? Maybe this is my opportunity to give someone a second chance. Let's consider for a second... the consequenses could be severe. Possible jail time? Yea, it's possible, esp. considering he tried to divert funds from my bank account. Do I really want to pull the trigger and do that to someone? He's 18. He's young, immature, and at that age, people (esp. males) do really stupid things. Maybe he's laughing that I'm giving him a second chance, maybe he doesn't understand yet, but I know that one day, he will. One day, he will realize the severity of this, and maybe be grateful that I gave him this pardon. Maybe that day will be before he starts spawning children. Maybe then, he'll be a good father and give them a good childhood, so that his kids won't do something (to this extent) when they turn 18.** (Yes, they'll still smoke weed... I really can't help that. ) I could be going on a tangent, but the point is this: his life might turn out better if I do this, so that's why I'm doing it. I'm giving him a second chance.

Miscellaneous.

1. He's lucky he made payment. It somewhat shows honesty, and to an extent, it shows remorse. (Yes, I understand it also shows that he's worried about the consequenses.) Granted, I don't have the money yet, but he did provide a tracking number, so things look good.

2. Jimmy, I think your actions are out of line. I ultimately think that the decision is mine, and it pisses me off that you're talking to Police and emailing Pokerstars about MY situation. You're talking about my information, and it's too personal, IMO. You're an asshole for getting so personal w/out my consent. And your song sucks. What do you really think you're going to accomplish without my cooperation? NONE of this is admissible at trial. If I don't testify to this, it's called hearsay. GG Rules of Evidence.

That's all I have for now. The original post was better.

*If you don't agree, I don't care.
**My legal experience tells me that all of this would amount to numerous felonies. It's hard to get a good job with that on your record, so it's entirely possible that he spends his life being a criminal to "make it."

Lou I + repped you for this last post because it explains your point of view very good. I think people (Jimmy) should of waited to read this before doing anything. I think all your reason are good ones and I agree with them, I know it dosent matter if I agree or not but I do none the less.

Jimmy I thought you were very wrong to inform the police on Lou's behalf, even though nothing you do will mean anything without Lou pressing charges. Anyway let me get off my soapbox because im not really involved in this either and its not my place to say.

[Aequitas58]

No no...

Ok: Talking about it.
Not Ok: Acting on it.

[jimmym]

Lets get this right, I havnt informed the police on Lous behalf or to help Lou, after Lou reached his decision I personnally didnt care much of Lou.

I informed the police for myself, I informed the police that no charges would be brought by the person concerned but I wanted the police and Pokerstars to have some sort of record about what happen and by the way addmitted to a member from this forum.

Lous reaction is expected and I am not getting at him at all and feel sorry to what happened to him but he had the capability and the education and the means to get his money back,,,many many many of us wouldnt and would be in real shit with the possibility of more online attacks from this guy.

Am not frightened to say publically 'LOU I AM SORRY IF I HAVE UPSET YOU' but we have to be protected and allthough your desicion looks like it has ended this bad experience you honestly knew it was going to upset a few mwmbers.

I think this thread has said it all, and the case should be put to bed unless someone else has something to say.



PS- I know the song is shit, I asked my Mother and she didnt know it was me and said exactley the same, now theres one person I never argue with.

Pilate
And so the king
Is once again my guest
And why is this?
Was Herod unimpressed?

Caiaphas
We turned to Rome
To sentence Nazareth
We have no law
To put a man to death
We need him crucified
It's all you have to do

Pilate
Talk to me, Jesus Christ
You have been brought here
Manacled, beaten by your own people
Do you have the first idea
Why you deserve it?
Listen, king of the Jews,
Where is your kingdom?
Look at me
Am I a Jew?

Jesus
I have got no kingdom
In this world
I'm through, through, through
There may be a kingdom for me
Somewhere if I only knew

Pilate
You're a king

Jesus
Yes you can see I am
I look for truth
And find that I get damned

Pilate
What is truth?
Is truth unchanging law?
We both have truths
Are mine the same as yours?

Crowd
Crucify him, crucify him!

Pilate
What do you mean
You'd crucify your king?

Crowd
We have no king but Caesar

Pilate
He's done no wrong
No, not the slightest thing

Crowd
We have no king but Caesar
Crucify him!

Pilate
I see no reason
I find no evil
This man is harmless
So why does he upset you?
He's just misguided
Thinks he's important
But to keep you vultures happy
I shall flog him

Crowd
Crucify! Crucify!

Pilate (Counting off the 39 Lashes)
One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven!
Twelve! Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen! Sixteen! Seventeen! Eighteen!
Nineteen! Twenty! Twenty one! Twenty two! Twenty three! Twenty four!
Twenty five! Twenty six! Twenty seven! Twenty eight! Twenty nine!
Thirty! Thirty one! Thirty two! Thirty three! Thirty four! Thirty
five! Thirty six! Thirty seven! Thirty eight! Thirty nine!

Pilate
Where are you from Jesus?
What do you want Jesus?
Tell me!
You've got to be careful
You could be dead soon
Could well be
Why do you not speak
When I have your life in my hands?
How can you stay quiet?
I don't believe you understand!

Jesus
You have nothing in your hands
Any power you have
Comes to you from far beyond
Everything is fixed
And you can't change it

Pilate
You're a fool, Jesus Christ
How can I help you?

Crowd
Crucify him! Crucify him!
Remember Caesar
You have a duty
To keep the peace
So crucify him!
You'll be demoted
You'll be deported
So crucify him!

Pilate
Don't let me stop
Your great self-desctruction
Die if you want to
You misguided martyr!
I wash my hands
Of your demolition
Die if you want to
You innocent puppet!
