So.. there's been a series of problems with these kids damaging homes, it takes two hours for the police to respond to a call, and they arrest the homeowner for defending his property, but don't touch the kids who are damaging the property in the first place?

Shall we just hand them all lollipops and tell them they're good kids, too?

Yep. That's exactly what they want you to do.

Good job homeowner

Gotta say, I probably do the same thing. (the chasing, not cowering lol) I have a hand made wooden mallet/gavel a friends grandfather made about 40 or 50 yrs ago in high school. It's oak too. I call it Chief Justice, just looks like it would destroy some shiznit.

i man cannot even protect his own family/property... what has the world come to?

Not if we don't allow it. Blame the parents first and foremost - I can't begin to imagine the punishment if I had been caught doing that... geez!

I'm just disappointed that I never get called for jury duty. Voting for 21 years now... no jury duty.

This reminds me of the "Death of Common Sense" obituary from the London Times that was posted a few days ago.

This is definitely the death of common sense.
