Yesterday evening my gf and I decided to take a drive to glass a few fields for deer. I'm leaving the house and approaching a house on my right where the family is straight up white trash. I've had problems with these people before, thats a story for another day. Anyway..... As I'm nearing their house, I see this "kid" (probably 16-18 years old) with his arm cocked back and a brick in his hand. I watched him as I drove past their drive, and he throws the brick at my car. At that point, I saw red. I slammed on the brakes, backed up and pulled in his drive. Got out of the car and asked him what he threw at my car. He denied it and told me he didn't throw anything and to get in my car before HE called the police. I blew up, went into a cursing, yelling spree that would have made Andrew Dice Clay blush. He actually started to to tear up and he apologized. I didn't say another word, just got in the car and left. As we drove off in silence, my GF eventually spoke. She said I was too hard on the kid and he probably didn't know better?? WTF...the "kid" has a vehicle, he's not 8! I thought I went easy on the punk, I'd like to have pimp slapped him. Oh, and as we were driving back by to go home, he saw my car and ran towards his house like he was being chased lol. I guess I'm now officially the crazy guy in the neighborhood.
I don't think you went overboard at all. I would've done the same thing. There's a big difference between that age and 7-8 like you said. Hopefully you scared him enough that he won't do that again and end up hurting someone.
I'm 15 and I honestly don't think you went overboard at all. I hate kids like that- they disgrace my generation. What did he accomplish by throwing a brick at your car?- Nothing. Nothing at all. And on top of that, hes got to understand the consequences of his actions, in this case getting screamed at by the neighbor If he started crying and can't handle the consequence then he should have never thrown the brick at your car. Like Remy said, I hope you scared him enough so he not going to do that again and potentially hurt someone.
He got exactly what he deserved!! You didn't go overboard one bit! I HATE dumba$$ people that think its funny to destroy other peoples property!! I never feel bad for them when they get what they deserve. Kudos to you sir!
We have a kid here on a certain stretch of road that has been shooting windshields on passing cars with a pellet gun. Sure hope he doesn't decide to shoot at my truck, because I'm pretty sure he will **** himself when he sees a tattooed, pissed off guy come running from his F250 with .40 in hand chasing his *** down.
I would guess one of 2 things will happen after last night. A) He never messes with me again B) He takes his punk actions to a higher level
Kids need more of this! There's no accountability today. A kid does something stupid or dangerous and mom and dad apologizes for their actions, but doesn't parent the child. Sure they might scold them for a moment, but next thing you know their not engaged any more. People either are too lazy or to afraid to punish their own children. I see it all the time, parents looking the other way when their kids are acting out. It drives me nuts. I just want to walk over to them and tell them to start being their kids parent or I will. I'm not just talking about strangers, my friends are the same way. Their kids get away with murder, and almost never get punished.
When or if it does happen make sure your screaming "ohhhh so you wanna play with guns, huh!!!" As you give chase. :D
I'd say good move and im just glad it didn't get our of hand. So the brick didn't hit your car? It good to let's people know your not a pacifist and you will confront them and take action. Some kids are just babies and have never felt the consequences of their actions. I had a similar situation with a neighbor kid trying to brake into my van one night. He quickly realized and was caught and wanted the cops to arrive soon before I unleashed hell on him. I was pissed. Little rich punk.
Good for you. I would have made him get his dad out and smacked him. I don't deal well with ignorance. It's nice to know there are other people out there that aren't afraid to stand up for themselves Sent from my SGH-T999L using Tapatalk 2
Very true statement! I have a feeling that this behavior stems from the fact that, a majority, of our society has become so spoiled and become so oversensitive. A lot of parents rights to discipline are being taken away because they're scared their child will run and tell someone they got whooped. Then the next thing you know some agency is beating on their door asking about child abuse. This is just a part of the problem. I also feel a lot has to do with technology and the way it allows those lazy, uninterested, no good type parents just pawn their kids off on tv or video games or anything of the sort. The kids WILL find mental stimulation and emotional nourishment from somewhere, that's just a part of growing, whether its from strict, loving, involved, attentive parents or violent, crazy, psychotic video games and television. The sad thing is I notice that more and more parents are too lazy and or uninterested to create a healthy balance. They'd rather let them play video games all day than teach them right from wrong just to keep them outta their hair. Which is sad because it all circles back to being responsible for your actions. Meaning parents aren't held responsible for being the proper role models and positive influences for their kids.
Shoulda picked the brick up and drew him a diagram explaining which body orifice that brick was going in if he ever looked at you crossways again.
