Andrew says something that Bill and his...Example:<br /> Andrew says something that Bill and his friend found offensive,<br />Bill's friend confronts Andrew and Andrew says "I'm sorry" to Bill's friend. Bill's friend refuses to accept the apology and forgive Andrew so Andrew tells Bill's friend to be patient with him as he has Asperger's Syndrome. Bill's friend yells the insult "Asperger's syndrome doesn't excuse you!" he then goes to Bill who defends his friend without question. Bill yells at Andrew the same remark only 5-6 times this time Andrew, then goes to the Pastor who doesn't like what happened and promises to do something about it, but never does. Andrew is then told to forgive Bill after Bill lies to the Pastor and everyone tolerates the situation. Then out of anger, Andrew damages Bill's property by spray painting his house, smashing his car window 4-5 times. Andrew then leaves Bill a letter without signing his name but has his handwriting and fingerprints on it. Bill terrified; then goes to the police with his roommates and accuses Andrew of property damage, then Andrew tells the Police what Bill and his friend did to him, Bill admits to lying, harassment and bullying along with his friend. However, the police tell Andrew "you did it!" when they show up to give him a ticket, Andrew then goes to court and enters a "not guilty" plea due to both being provoked and police making a mistake charging Andrew. Mediation happens and Bill lies by denying saying anything offensive to Andrew when however the report says Bill confessed to provoking Andrew. Andrew's lawyer admits that there was harassment prior to the crimes happening. Bill explains what he meant by those remarks and Andrew sees things clearer now but the Mediator tells Bill that words do matter. Case dismissed.<br /><br />So here, what we get from this story is that the victim and his friend admits that he did wrong and still lies about it in mediation. So Bill's behavior provoked a reasonable man like Andrew to commit property damage against Bill because Bill yelled remarks about Andrew's disability and gloated about not needing to apologize to Andrew.Artillery Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09809197636719515400noreply@blogger.com
