I recently made a post offering $20 and a laptop to whoever slashed my bike tires without taking any action against them. So far, nobody has come forward , but the offer still stands. Perhaps i'll put a sign up where it happened or ask the school to make an announcement on my behalf. Why would i do this? To put it in the form of a corny quote, "Those who are the hardest to love are the ones who need it most". I've honestly always believed in that and wanted to do things like this. Just like anything else i believe in, there's just as much pragmatism as idealism in the idea. What good would it do to get the person in trouble? I'd rather know who did it, and, if they let me, talk to them about why they did it so i can hopefully convince them to not do it to anybody else.
I don't know if it will work. Let me know what happens.
ReplyDelete$20 and a laptop? I think I may have slashed your tires. Where do you live again?

ReplyDeleteWay to go, man. You did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more people like you who try to make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI love that NPR story! such a good one
ReplyDeleteI love that you're trying to do the same thing!
I'm a fairly liberal, open-minded guy but sorry that's just a bit too soft for me. Simply *not* trying to track them down and kick 7 shades of shit out of them is being kind enough.
ReplyDeleteI support you!!
