A strange and crazy thing happened to me on Friday night. I was watching TV pretty late and there was a frantic knock at the front door. After checking since it was 2am I opened the door and there was a hysterical lassie trying to find her dad. She thought he was at the house across from us and went to the door to see if he was there, when she checked, the door was slightly ajar and noticed there was blood everywhere. I went to the door and pushed it open, it really was like a horror movie, blood everywhere and behind the door was a man dressed in pants and covered from head to toe in blood. his throat was cut and he had wounds all over. He was still alive but in a really bad way, I called an ambulance and the police and then tried to speak to him to see if he was able to talk. There were about 12 blue bags from the shop in the living room and each one had 3 empty Grants vodka bottles so there had been an alkie sesh of some sort going on for days and days by the look of it. There was no-one else in the house but there obviously had been as stuff was knocked over and smashed. Looks like a drunken rammy got totally out of control and the guy who's house it was got hurt really bad. The Police turned up and took over and asked me for a basic summary of what happened and how I ended up finding this guy. Eventually the Police came to our house about 4am and took a statement from me which I signed. Police were there most of the night and there is crime scene tape across the front of the house. The house is literally yards from our front door and we heard nothing. Scary scary stuff. Since heard that the guy is going to live and have been told by a few people that I probably saved his life, which is kind of messing my head up. Hero is not something I have ever seen myself as and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with it either. It has made me think about life in general though, religion? do me a favour. Fate? perhaps but if there is such a thing as fate then luck has to be part of it, if I hadn't been up late to watch fitba I had Sky+ earlier, would he have made it? Is Sky+ the reason he made it? It's crazy how you start thinking these things and it's obvious there are more factors involved. Circumstance is one, I have found out the guy has been practically trying to drink himself to death because his wife died . Was he trying to go for one big session that no matter what he was going to end up dead by hook or by crook because he can't handle life any more and I've stopped his plans? A sort of strange death wish/suicide attempt? The other thing that's eating away at me is who did this to the guy, I thought maybe he had done it to himself by falling or something but his injuries were too severe. It truly was like something out of a horror movie, the good thing I suppose was that he survived. The other thing once you detach yourself from the goings on is can this happen anywhere? or is it because of where we live? We were meant to have the kids over this weekend and didn't because of circumstances/luck? (That luck factor again) So they didn't have to see any of this but it is a worry, they usually play fitba right outside the guys house on the patch of grass. Then there is the newborn, is she going to have to grow up in this type of environment because you can be sure that nothing will be done about this sort of situation affecting the decent people around here. We are like the forgotten society, we rent council houses or housing association houses, there are loads of reasons we cannot buy our way out of this situation by buying a home. My circumstances are bankruptcy due to debts run up by my ex-wife but left in my name as part of the divorce settlement. Others here have other circumstances, not always their fault but caught up as part of that forgotten society just as much as us. Surely we are entitled to live in a safe and harm free environment and bring our kids up without worrying about shit they shouldn't have to as kids? Surely the Police should be helping us rather than being suspicious of us because of where we live? Fuck the System? Nah!!! System's Fucked more like.......- Posted by Ali's iPhone
