I'm facing a legal / emotional dilemma, need some perspective - General

[QUOTE=Crossed;17946548]You guys seem to think that his brother is some kind of psychotic maniac that run around beating people up. [b]Oh, he tried strangling his little brother when he was like what 11? You do not see the consequences as a child and I bet you've done some kind of felony in your youth, I know I have.[/b] Let him run, he's family and his bond to you goes deeper than to be cut by a couple of things like him using your identity. Let him run, he has a son but tell him to leave you alone in the future or else you will report him. Would you actually send your brother to jail for giving you a minor nuisance with the law that probably could be easily solved? I know I would not :v:[/QUOTE] I haven't and I knew at age 11 not to strangle somebody. Being under 13 doesn't mean you are completely oblivious to consequences. Anyone who doesn't know by age 11 that strangling somebody is a bad thing to do has some serious issues.

C. He has caused you so much trouble and seems to be mentally unstable. He has committed a felony and other crimes. If you lie to the police, you may face charges yourself. The quicker this is over the sooner he will stop being a threat to you and the public. So please, Paul, do the right thing in my opinion. If you think he may of done something bad for a good reason, or you think he should have on last chance, it's your choice. A concerned FPer.

If I was in your situation, I'd turn him in, there is no reason to have to deal with the fine or other possible punishment. Discuss the entire situation with the police, that you discussed with us.

[QUOTE=luck_or_loss;17946708]@Conn92 @Crossed [b]His brother has committed Felonies[/b]. [b]His brother has committed assaults against Children[/b]. His brother has the mindset that he can get away with these things by shitting on others. Do you think he's above the law? Of course he should get his ass beat because he's a shit person who doesn't deserve the freedoms that the law abiding citizens have.[/QUOTE] You say that like he runs around beating up kids. He fought with his brother when he was a child, it's hardly the same for Christ's sake. Also, you don't know what felonies he committed or his motives. People go to their families and friends when they're in trouble, it's what people do. He had a kid to look after and nowhere to go so he went to his fucking father for some shelter. Sometimes you need to lay your shitty problems on other people to survive, it's instinctive.

A, he doesn't care about you, show him that you feel the same.

[b]You're all telling the OP to send his own fucking brother to jail for at least seven fucking years for something that no longer affects him, doesn't anyone here feel that it's the wrong thing to do?[/b]

You'll get fucked in the long run. Turn him in but not his location, let the police find him. Just get yourself cleared and let him deal with his fuck up of a life, you can't change the way he is and he doesn't seem to want to either.

[QUOTE=Conn92;17948611]Doesn't mean he hasn't corrected his issues. [b]You're all telling the OP to send his own fucking brother to jail for at least seven fucking years for something that no longer affects him, doesn't anyone here feel that it's the wrong thing to do?[/b][/QUOTE] It STILL AFFECTS HIM. He JUST SAID that his brother is hiding out at his house. You get a Dumb.

Option D: Pop a cap in your bro's ass. He tried to kill you, return the favor.

please, OP, for the love of god, choose C or A. choosing B is practically throwing your own life away for a stranger who's never done you good.

He used your name to avoid getting into shit. [b]Your[/b] name. He tried to screw you, so he could get out of his own shit. Even if he is your brother, he'd be better of in prison. It would be better for himself, society, and his son. Besides, if the police find out you knew all this (lord knows how) you could get in trouble for lying about the situation. (I could be wrong though, law was never my strong point) Don't let him pull you into his fucked up life!

Family values are bullshit. I treat my family exactly the way I treat friends: if they fuck me over, there's no reason to keep them. There's no "magical bond" in family, it's just the most important social relationships you have, but if it's that fucked there's no reason to keep it. Option C, because you're not exactly doing your nephew a favor by leaving him with such a shitty father. Again, family values are bullshit, he's not better off with an asshole for a father. He deserves better.

^ On a side note, this guy probably has a crappy home life. ..and is a bit of a douche.

[QUOTE=faceflavouredpunch;17948660]It STILL AFFECTS HIM. He JUST SAID that his brother is hiding out at his house. You get a Dumb.[/QUOTE] He's not here anymore. I think I mentioned that he disappeared, he is now staying somewhere else. Thanks for all of the replies. I haven't replied because I've been asleep for a while because I'm pretty sick. The kicker: I'm pretty sure it was my brother who got me sick, both him and his kid were coughing and sneezing the entire time they were here. My throat feels like I've been eating glass, my face is leaking tons of fluid, and I have a full-body fever. I'll just have to do something about this tomorrow. Oh yeah, and when I was asleep, a couple sheriffs came by looking for my brother. And he keeps calling me asking me to look up random telephone numbers. And he currently has my sneak-a-toke, at this point, I'm not sure whether or not I'm ever going to see it again.

So I'm guessing you're just going to let what he did to you blow on by..

I am disappointed in OP; he let his chance slide(for now)

[QUOTE=lum1naire;17949633]So I'm guessing you're just going to let what he did to you blow on by..[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=aznz888;17949657]I am disappointed in OP; he let his chance slide(for now)[/QUOTE] I'm really, really sick. It sucks to even get up and use the computer, I don't think I'm up for going anywhere tonight. It's not like I'm going to do nothing about it, but it can just wait for now. Besides, I couldn't get in contact with the arresting officer anyway, so I don't have a choice but to wait.

C'mon, drag your ass out of bed and get that fucker arrested.

C. If he tries to kill you... arrange an unfortunate accident involving him repeatedly headbutting a sledgehammer at 90mph.

Sounds a lot like my mother. FUCKING A!!!

If you snitch him out and he receives prison time, prepare to be fucked. You dwell on things like that in incarceration, he won't forget it.

He deserves to go to prison. Even if what he did was for the right intentions. Lets take a look at his crimes based on what you have told us. Attempted Murder Assault Possibly Grievous Bodily Harm from the attempted murder Obstruction of Justice Identity Theft Resisting arrest If convicted he's probably already facing 15+ years to Life, if they find out about his attempted murder. I don't know what his sentence will be as I don't know the American? legal system too well. And probably much more. That, and he's using you and your family to save his own ass. He hasn't given you anything in the past, don't expect it now. Call the cops and book his ass.

He's hardly a professional criminal, he's pretty much just delaying the inevitable. It's in your best interest, like everyone else has stated to go with option A. Your brother needs help.

Pick A. Not so much for yourself, but so that he learns he can't always get what he wants and maybe stops behaving that way after being in jail for some time. Really hope its works out for all of you, but he can't just go ahead and keep fucking you all over and over.

[QUOTE=Swebonny;17943139] [b]Fuck that bastard over, how the fuck can you call him your brother.[/b][/QUOTE] This man right here.

Damn that IS a dilemma. I'll have to agree with the rest and pick A. That's probably what I would do if I where you. But I'm not you so I don't have any right to say that. He's [I]your[/I] brother.

Just do the right thing dude, can't be held responsible for letting you get killed just because a bunch strangers told you over the internet.

[QUOTE=J Paul;17943228]I've been thinking about it, and now I have the idea that he might possibly try to kill me again if I turn him in. I'm already well aware that he is most definitely not willing to cooperate with the authorities. When they raided his house to try to arrest him, they rolled in deep on him. Multiple squad cars, and probably some dogs. He escaped capture by jumping out of a second story window and hiding in the woods, in a creek, for four hours in nothing but pajama pants. In this incredibly cold weather, I consider a feat like that to be almost super-human. Also, considering the things he has done in the past, which are of a much grander scale than even that, I'm convinced that he probably is super-human. He's never lost a fight as far as I'm aware, and I don't think he ever will. He could probably kill anyone he meets with his bare hands. In addition to his physical prowess, he is also incredibly intelligent. He also happens to be a sociopath. Given that he has already attempted murder against me once for no reason at all, there is a chance that he would do it again in retaliation for my snitching, and most likely succeed this time. I'm not completely convinced that this is the case, but the possibility can't be ignored.[/QUOTE] The Police will never put you at risk by telling him that you snitched.

by your description, this guy is a fucking sociopath. He doesn't give a shit whether he's your brother or not, he sees you as an opportunity for a free pass, a tool. Lie to the police, your going to go to jail with him. Tell them the truth and [B]EVERYTHING[/b], you'll be under protective custody. Sure, he might beat people's ass up with his fist. But the police knows his weakness. [img]http://www.atlantictactical.com/mmCATALOG/Images/m&p-40-police-pistol.jpg[/img]

Fuck him. He is putting your entire family at risk by hiding out with you. He's already been trouble in the past. Fuck him. A
