I Hope You Die A Painful Death And Rot In Hell!

I read about countless people who've been victims of snatch thefts, some of whom don't even survive the ordeal. Most of the time, well all the time, these snatch thieves get away scott free because of our 'superb' not to mention 'efficient' capabilities of the Police whom I think have their agenda all mixed up!

But yesterday, my own mom was the victim of a snatch theft incident that left her falling and hitting her head on the gravel of the road, going unconscious and had to be rushed to the hospital to be treated for a head wound trauma. And the bastard got away scot-free with the main Police station being just 500-600 metres away. These guys are getting bolder by the day!

I wasn't there when it happened. My mom was out with my aunt and cousins for dinner in USJ 9, opposite Taipan. Most people who live here in USJ would know how busy and packed the place is most of the time, and yesterday wasn't any different. Like I said, these guys are getting bolder by the day.

After dinner, as she was leaving the restaurant with my cousins, this two guys on a motor bike came by and tried to grabbed her handbag from behind. Naturally, she resisted and ended up falling over backwards and smashing her hard on the gravel road. Of course, the two culprits got away even though two of my cousins tried to give chase.

By that time, according to my auntie, my mom lost consciousness and was bleeding badly from the head and also apparently stopped breathing or close to it. As fate would have it, a doctor happened to be passing by, saw the entire incident, got out from his car and proceeded to do whatever it was that needed to be done and got her breathing and semi-conscious again and my cousins rushed her off to a nearby clinic who instructed them to take her straight the hospital cos it was a head wound trauma case.

I couldn't be reached as I didn't really hear my cell phone ring and one of my cousins came over to my place hysterically screaming that my mom was robbed and was in a very bad shape and was showing me the blood on her hands which got me all panicky. I thought the entire episode could have been handled a little more calmly but that's a story for another day.

So I rushed off to the hospital and was just in time to see my mom being checked in by another cousin for treatment. To cut a long story short, she had to have her an X-ray of her scalp and chest which she said was actually hurting very badly (thankfully she was already conscious and able to talk by the time I got there).

After going through the entire procedure and getting her head wound stitched, she was given the all clear with no visibly serious injuries but was told that she needed to stay back for a couple of hours observations and was released on the same day.

I was thankful that it wasn't more serious than that. By the time I took her home and the entire episode settled down around 2.00am, I was visibly stressed out so much so that wifey could see the stress oozing out of my system. What a day it was for me. Never in my entire life did I think something like this would happen to a member of my family.

My questions is, are the Police seriously doing anything about trying to curb this snatch theft menace or are they busy with other duties nabbing all the innocent people in this country? Crime has escalated to a level so high and it gets worse every day but all I hear is that they're having this operation and that operation but with no results in sight?

Just what the heck do the Police really do these days? I don't see them patrolling the streets as much as they should. Communities have to hire personal security guards and fence up their neighborhoods just to keep themselves safe which boggles the mind seeing as how we do have a Police force.

Take the area I live in for instance, practically every section now has their own security guards and fenced up areas cos they're so afraid of crime that is still happening in their areas. Shouldn't this protection business be the job of the Police?

I'm pissed, really pissed. If the Police were doing their jobs properly, what my mom had to go through would not have happened. I don't care if they don't have enough personnel (which I'm sure they do judging by the amount of personnel they can mobilize in an instant during the curbing of peaceful protesters) but I expect my family members and me to be able to live in a safe environment without having to look over our shoulders all the time. After all that is why I pay taxes for in the first place.

I'm sure my mom is going to be traumatized for months or maybe even years to come and she's not going to feel safe when she goes out anymore. My mom is an outgoing person who is out all the time and now I'm not going to feel comfortable if she goes out again. In fact, judging by her reaction last night, she probably won't be going out on her own for quite a while.

Right now I'm also really not going to be at ease even when the boys are walking home from school or if wifey goes out on her own. Even this morning when we were out sending the boys for Sunday school and then doing our shopping I was constantly telling her to keep a tight reign on her purse (she didn't want to carry a handbag after last nights episode). See how one little incident can put so much fear into a person.

Anyway, I pray and hope that those two snatch theft bastards get what's due to them. If I ever see a snatch theft incident happening in front of me and if I have the chance to do something about it, trust me, I'll run over the lowly bastards, you can count on that! Then again, I just might burn them in an Amish fireplace!
