[sudo-discuss] Robbed at gunpoint.

[GtwoG PublicOhOne]

Hmm, a civil lawsuit against the perp... hmm...!   Very interesting,
I'll ask around...  but we have to catch the guy first.  The idea of
going for civil damages for the "oh shit I'm about to get shot and die"
factor, is worth pursuing. 

Methinks the building owners next door are already friendly about
providing videos, because they have the same interests as we do, in not
having their tenants robbed at gunpoint.  This also from previous
experience when Sam got his car broken into.  It's all of us together,
against the predators. 

OK, to sleep now, finally...

-G.
