Why do you feel terrible?
What the fuck were you supposed to have done?

Get rid of the witnesses

I wish I'd have took a photo of them on my phone

I'm not convinced
that taking photos of murderers is a particularly sensible idea.

Do you normally take pictures
of random people when you see them hanging around?

also
your mobile phone probably wouldn't have taken a much clearer picture than your bus's CCTV, not in the dark

it wasn't dark
it was still pretty light even at 9.50pm. I may be on a crimewatch reconstruction coming to your screens soon...

Oh.
It's not your fault y'know, don't blame yourself. You can't take photos of every miscreant, you'll get yourself duffed up.

That's because it is summer and it doesn't get dark for aaaaages
It rocks. Now, you should stop worrying as there is fuck all you could have done.

Yeah, but you can't have known they were murderers, for fuck's sake.
Get over it.

Then how would you explain having photos of them?

( Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Mon 1 Jun 2009, 18:46, archived)

There's nothing illegal in taking photos of people.

I think there has to be some sort of warning posted
for it to count as evidence in a court, though.

Do you normally go around taking photos of strangers looking suspicious?
You couldn't have known. Stop beating yourself up about it.

Knowing that if you weren't a retard, people who are dangerous to all the public are on the streets
when there is a chance for them to be locked away.

I don't think that makes sense actually

No, it doesn't.
