Get yourself a (real looking) gun, and if you see them again, confront them with the gun CLEARLY visible. They'll scatter like the rats they are.

You, sir, are a moron.

That's exactly why my friend's brother-in-law got a laser sight for his glock. If someone comes into his house at night looking to rob the place, they'll hear the hammer being pulled back on the glock and see a red dot on their chest.

As screwy a solution as this is, it's probably the best one. I hate to advocate lying or filing a false police report, but this is war and at the end of the day, you need to take care of #1 (and #2).

I wouldnt do that BS so you guys can STFU right now....


Wow... way to talk to the people who are just trying to help you.

Have fun living in terror.

You're advocating committing a crime, which is a very stupid idea.

Before you (and the OP) just chalk it up to "stupid", let me ask you this: how far would you go to protect your family? I don't know how immediate of a threat these kids are to the OP, but I have a wife and two children. If people - who are running around with SHOTGUNS - were pissed off enough to retaliate against me, I'd certainly be considering every option available to me. And when the lives of my wife and children are at stake, I can't say I wouldn't at least consider "tweaking" the facts. I'm not saying I'd definitely do it, but if I felt cornered, it would be on the table.

Not to sound overdramatic, but it's only "stupid" until these punks ransack the guy's home, or worse. All of a sudden those "stupid" options, in hindsight, begin to look quite attractive.

Frontier Justice is always in order. Until I see a cop who weighs under 250lbs and can run from his desk to his squad car without having a heart attack, I'm not relying on them for squat.

Well, except catching speeders. Of course, as soon as the general public wises up and realizes that the best way to beat a speed chase is to go on foot, the cops will be useless at that, too.

:laugh:

Filing a false police report is not something that is taken likely. Not only does his family have to deal with the legal ramifications of doing so, their credibility in any future incidents will be sent straight to the sh!tter. On top of that, it's going to deter these kids for a few weeks at best. Finally, it's only going to get these punks even more pissed and whatever they would've done will be amplified many times because you're further pissing them off with futile actions.

I'm sure your family would love to be put in that position. :roll:

I stick by what I said. It is a stupid suggestion to file a false police report.

cops might be able to test the kids hands for paint residue and match it to the paint on your car. of course, i saw this on forensic files and it was done for a murder. i doubt they would go to that kind of expense for vandalism.

Well, again, you may not like the suggestions, but these are just people trying to help you.

"If I throw a dog a bone, I don't want to hear if it tastes like sh1t"

Imagine if I filed a false police report and I was wrong about who did it.... that kid gets in big trouble, and his family gets mad and decides to exact revenge... how does that make my family safer?

What happened to you being "sure" it was them? Naturally, I would think that the whole false report bit would be hinged on the fact that you KNEW, for a FACT, that it was them, which IIRC you said you did.

Good luck, etc etc. I think your attitude sucks toward the people who are trying to help, but no one should have to put up with punks like this in their neighborhood.

Look at the Glock 19. It's Glock's mid-sized 9mm pistol that will hold 15 rounds in the magazine. You can also use 17 and 33 round magazines in it if you don't mind them sticking out the bottom of the grip. 9mm ammo is cheap. Practicing with a 9mm cost half as much as everything but a .22 pistol.

I have a few pistols and one shotgun at home. The only reason I would choose to defend myself with one of my pistols is if I couldn't get to the shotgun.

Well it was... the kids were just friends of one kid in the neighborhood and now apparently Im a target.... thanks to the police for being discrete on that....


Is


Viva la resistance
Fvck-W

A common phrase to write on peoples vehicles?

"Viva La Resistance" was used in a Southpark episode. Not sure where else tho.

This vandalism sounds like the work of the punks in question. Hopefully they'll have an accident with the gun or overdose or die in a single car accident.

This is my house, and my property, I will be damned if I let anyone try to scare me into leaving.... If I had kids it might be one thing, but its just me and my wife.... and there have been no physical threats yet.

Idiots liek this typically talk in schools. My bosses van got cvandaled a logn time ago, but the idiot kids told everyone in sight.
