So I have a good memory, what can I say?!
It's hard not to relive something when reminded of it, in vivid detail. I don't obsess about it on a daily basis and it isn't eating me up inside. That's not to say that there aren't feelings of anger but they're more because of the frustration that others will likely suffer the same or worse hassle for the foreseeable future as the individual is still free to do his thing unless something or someone decisively intervenes. The issue is still ongoing financially as well, as my windscreen had to be replaced and whilst I received compensation to approximately it's value at the time of the repair, the rear view mirror kept falling off as a crappy foam pad was used to stick the bracket back on and then the mirror got broken falling onto the gear knob below which has also cost me time to fiddle with, and is now in need of repair or replacement at my expense.
When I think of the time I have spent clearing out the glass and not getting more important jobs done instead and the ongoing repercussions with the car's condition, what with a chip in the new screen right after it was fitted, that cannot be repaired and will need a new one at my expense to make right again, it gets a little aggravating, all because some little prick thought he could interfere with my life. Like I say, forgiveness is an intellectual exercise and achieves nothing except the illusion of closure. You can do it one day but every day the memory and ongoing issues are still there. Forgetting is something I find hard to do. Sure, I can forgive and forget if that's the end of it but for all I know he's got his eye on my house next, since the courts forced me to explain in his presence the precise location of my house relative to the garage block nearby.
Again, I wasn't even that angered at the time; more fascinated at how dumb he was thinking he could get away with it. My conclusion is that he is clearly mentally defective and needs permanent removal from opportunity to commit more crime, which he will. I don't see why we should all pay for it though through taxation. Same with car insurance. My car wasn't insured and I wouldn't have claimed anyway as it will only serve to raise everyone's premiums in the area. All of this expense is because wilfully antisocial morons like him decide that there are no consequences for their actions as they've been allowed to run amok since birth with teachers and parents not allowed to discipline them. They're laughing at us. Criminals have more rights than 'victims' these days and if things don't change, it's anarchy. Antifa are a perfect example. Same with Muslim immigrants in Sweden. The police just let them rape, injure and vandalize with impunity as they've been ordered to stand down for fear of being called racist by liberals who can't see that the whole situation was engineered to destroy national identity by diluting populations. If the second world war happened again, Britain would turn on itself before unifying against Germany. You guys need to crack down on these idiots or you'll lose your country like we have in The U.K.
Vandalism and theft are direct symptoms of forgiveness. Criminals simply and very deliberately exploit this weakness. Socialism or more correctly Communism is behind most of these issues as The State removes power from the very people it claims to protect.
Your Constitution and Bill of Rights preserves your power to do whatever it takes to maintain law and order. All I hear is "Let them get on with it; we'll just take the easy way out and forgive them their trespasses". It doesn't solve the problem. Education can but if that doesn't work, force will. There must be consequences for our actions. So you see, my frustration isn't just with this youth, it's with the kind of people who consistently forgive and thereby encourage them.
