At 6am this morning my brother, Jim, noticed a strange man slink by his window at our sister's home & he decided to investigate. After going into her kitchen, he could see the dude messin' with her bedroom window! He flung open the back door & hollared at the guy, who then took off runnin'. Not one to let someone get away, my brother grabbed his 9mm automatic & chased after the dude... in nothing BUT his underpants! After a few blocks, he yelled that he was going to shoot & the guy dropped to his knees. When Jim caught up to him, he looked around & noticed nearly all the neighbors were outside looking at him, in his boxers, with a gun to a white guy's head who's wearing a Public Works uniform! He decided it would be best to take this back to his house & wait for the police. He talked with the guy for awhile until the cops showed up & said the conversation went pretty much like 'To Catch a Predator'. The guy was all, "I'm sick! I don't know why I did it!" When the cops did show up, they had a good laugh. Not one of them, in all their years on the force, had ever encountered a Citizen's Arrest before this morning! Hear the story from his own mouth at KCTV5.com:"Woman Accuses Man Of Peeping". James (or Jim, as I call him) & Rachel are my younger brother & sister. I'm actually the lightest in skin color in the 3 of us, but I have the more dominant features of a black person. You can see my mom holding 2 of my sister's kids. She's angry that they took a shot of her. She wasn't wearing any make-up & had been reorganizing her garage before she got the call something happened. I actually look alot like my mom, only with a goatee & an afro. It's really freaky because our grade school pictures actually look alike! You know, in the face.
Me? I saved a kid from drowning when I was around 10. It's no prowler, but I did save a life. And that of a kid who bullied me! That saved me @ss whoopings for abooooouuut... a week. Anybody else have any exciting stories of saving someone or stopping a crime 'round here?
EDIT: I replaced the previous link with a more direct one. I knew that the story wouldn't stay at the top of the video list, but I've never been to that site before. So it took a little while to figure it out.

I musta saved somebody, but I'm too into your family's story to remember right now. Too bad the news didn't mention some of your more personal details. That would have made it even better! The weird thing to think about is how many times has this guy done this before? He might have been scoping your family or others before. I doubt this was the first time of a one-time occurrence. Thank God your family is OK. I just wonder if Jim should become an underwear model.

I must agree. It ain't good if you end up becoming a victim while trying to save one! It's always best to go after the cowards, the ones who prey on women can't handle taking on a man. That's why they prey on women.

GOOD GRAVY!!! Please tell me that ain't true! I don't know what I'd do if that happened to the love of my life. I know I'd go insane, at the very least! It nearly happened to my brother when we were really young, but my mother heard his whimpering (they were in the hallway in our apartment building) & surprised the guy with a butcher knife (she was cutting up a chicken)! I was across the street, but I saw a strange guy burst out of the front of the apartment, then, within seconds, my mother came running out after him with that friggin' knife high in the air! Thinking about it now, she looked like a pretty Moe when Bart told him where he lived in "New Kid on the Block"! She didn't catch him, but the police did!

We agree with ya 100%. There hadn't been any reports of rape in her area, but the guy was messin' with her window. I doubt he was trying to clean it off to get a better look! Just imagine if Jim woulda let him just get away! It also makes ya wonder just how often he was actually doing his job when he was hanging around people's houses when he didn't look suspicious in his uniform.

What d'ya know? He thinks the same thing!

Ooooh! Don't think moving to Lee's Summit is gonna leave that mess behind! There was a meth lab just a block up the street from where I lived... AND ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY SCHOOL BUS STOP!
