Some "yoots" were terrorizing a retired bloke over here a couple of years ago, not far from where I live. He'd had enough of them, so he walks out with a rifle, they leg it, and he pops one of them in the back half-way down his drive.
Lad died.
DA refused to prosecute as he knew nailed-on no fecking jury in the county would find him guilty of anything. Love it.
You take your life in your hands here doing shit like that, ESPECIALLY at night. You go onto someone's property after dark, you must have a death wish.
We have a few "yoots" in my neighbourhood, and they started acting-up about six months ago. Three of my neighbours (a retired Marine, a retired 82nd Airborne Trooper, and a retired 101st Airborne Trooper) grabbed them one night as they were on the corner opposite my house, and took them at gunpoint (lol) into the woods that border my house and had a quiet word. The final straw you see, was when these brave lads gave a woman serious grief one night, right at her front door (she wouldn't open the door), just after her husband left for work (he works nights at the SAS Institute in Cary, they def. knew he'd just left) at 11pm. The retired Marine drove up at just the right moment to his house (he was on-call, he works for AT & T as a tech, which is why he was out late, coming home), and chased them off. It was game-on then, and so he and a couple of other blokes (above) decided action was required.
No further problems. Haven't even seen them around. I love it. Love my neighbours.
