Nice.  I'm glad everyone in the fake story came to an agreement.

UPDATE 1:

I called the police station today to see if the charges got dropped. I thought it would be a simple check-in.

The officer I spoke to just said that the report is still under review and wouldn’t really give me any details about the progress. When I pressed him a bit, he mentioned that the situation was still being looked into but didn’t confirm whether or not the neighbors had come in. So, I’m still in the dark about that. When I asked if the charges were dropped, he just repeated essentialy the same thing.

I’m not really sure what’s going on now. The way my neighbors acted, I thought this was over, but I guess there’s still something going on behind the scenes at the police statiion

A few of you have mentioned the possibility that my neighbors were being wise and generous in giving me a second chance, and I think that’s a good point. I do feel like I’ve learned something here. I definitely don’t want to repeat a situation like this, and I’ll be more mindful of my reactions in the future. 

And yeah, I get what some of you are saying about the apology. I don’t want it to seem like I was just trying to avoid consequences, but honestly, I was sorry for what happened, even if it wasn’t exactly how I wanted things to go down. I reacted the way I did because, at the time i felt like I had no choice. it wasn’t an outburst for no reason. Maybe I could’ve handled it better,, but given everything that was going on, it wasn’t as simple as just being "wrong" like some of you are making it sound. I’ve had time to think and I know I should probably be more thoughtful in the future, but it’s not like I’m the only one who made mistakes here.

@Shodburrito You’re looking at this all wrong. Imagine a rapist saying, “Yeah, I forced myself on her, but has she dropped the charges yet? I wanna get back to gaming.” Or a murderer asking, “Is the victim’s family still pressing charges, or are we cool?” A bank robber: “Look, I waved the gun around, but have they moved on yet?”. You crashed into someone’s house, “Has their insurance covered it yet?” You botched a surgery, “Is the hospital still mad?” You cheated on your wife, “Is she over it now?”.  You stole from work, “Is my boss still upset, or can I just show up Monday?”. You screamed at your kid in public, “Is my wife done being mad?”

See the pattern? It’s not about whether the police or your neighbors move on. It’s about whether you do. Right now, you’re a guy who panicked and lost control. If you don’t fix that, this will happen again.

So stop worrying about the consequences and start worrying about why you were the kind of person who created them in the first place.
