Lesson learnt. Anyone witnessing a crime... look away, call the cops, do anything else other than getting involved. As sick as this may sound in some cases, take my advice
OMG Fred is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Sorry to hear of your trouble my friend. I'm glad you are safe back home!

Very glad and relieved to hear that you are alive and kicking, if not yet back to your fighting weight. Sorry you had to go through that. Some would say that you just purchased a piece of your character, and that is a worthwhile investment at any price.
As for Thailand, ****************et.
Welcome back!

WOW I thought you weren't around anymore because you had gotten bored with us. Glad to see that's not the case but the real reason is much worse.

Sorry to hear Fred, I'm just glad you made it back home. Take some time to decompress and get yourself back mentally and physically. I can't even imagine what you must have gone through. Great to hear from you again

Fred; Some people have have Honor, High morals and character that do not allow them to walk away from this type of human garbage. You probably have seen we have 2 marines that are fighting for their careers for doing the same thing in Iraq. It is amazing that people who do the right thing are then punished in this F'd up world we currently are living in. Take pride in knowing you did the right thing and for that I salute you.
