As per the article, they definitely did call the police beforehand. Clearly the police had taken little, if any, action. It's hidden, but it's there: "my sister had already had a couple of police visits about the previous incidents".
- Eisenstein 4y agoWhat did they do besides doxing him and confronting him online that helped? None of their 'let's catch him' antics were helpful and were actually stupid.
- ceejayoz 4y agoThey got a vehicle identified and a confession leading to an arrest. Did we read the same article?
- Eisenstein 4y agoThe confession was online, and they already had the vehicle ID (written down initially and then confirmed on camera). Don't be patronizing please. Hiding out in the car did nothing that they couldn't have done with cameras, without risking violent confrontation and a high speed chase.
- ceejayoz 4y agoYou asked "What did they do besides doxing him and confronting him online that helped?" > The confession was online The confession was made possible via their "antics", because he knew he'd been caught. Without the experience of being cornered and having to escape, he'd have likely ignored the message as a fishing expedition. > they already had the vehicle ID Getting that was part of their "antics", yes.
- Eisenstein 4y agoYou are right, I should have phrased the question better. What I meant by antics was the desire to confront him physically.
- tptacek 4y agoIdentifying people who are committing crimes against your family isn't "doxing". Or: it is, and a good illustration of the uselessness of that term.
