Watching him subsequently cry and clutch his face in agony made me realise that they're only acting tough or whatever; you just have to keep your cool and get them to go away using non-violent means.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted July 22, 2003 Author Share Posted July 22, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by bra [/i] [B]Do you belive that what you did was honourable? [/B][/QUOTE] Yes. When skateboard kids come into my neighborhood and throw glass all over an 80 year old couples driveway for no reason other than pissing them off, I lose any sympathy for them. Also these kids do this stuff all the time, egging cars and hitting crap with baseball bats. These kids deserved a lot more than what I gave them.

James Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 [color=#707875]It doesn't matter. An adult singlehadedly loses a lot of dignity by hitting a child. And no matter how nasty they were, they were kids. A 15 year old is definitely not an adult rival. As I said earlier, there are better ways of fixing the situation. In particular, if you'd put a little thought into it, you probably could have humiliated them quite well without resorting to a punch in the face. lol While I'm here, I'll remind you of two things. Firstly, your avatar is pretty inappropriate for OtakuBoards. I'd like you to remove it. Secondly, your original post was pretty crude in a few respects. [spoiler]Jerking furiously while on a forum? I don't think many parents want their kids seeing that, but hey, you've already demonstrated that you aren't responsible with kids lol[/spoiler] Basically, I think I've been pretty leniant with you, Harry. I've let a lot slip. But you're starting to push the limit a little. I urge you to take my recommendations into consideration.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get caught egging somebody's house/car/any personal property, you're busted. Personally I wouldn't of bashed their faces in. I would've grabbed both by the collar, slapped on the handcuffs I borrowed from my girlfriend, and held them down by my feet while I cooly dialed 911 in their faces. I just like taunting like that.....and if they're at least 15, in my county anyways...they can get seriously jacked, and tried as adults. *evil grin* I would've probably killed them if they tried to swing at me....I keep PVC pipes in my garage for situations like that....

pbfrontmanvdp Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 LoL good they deserve it. And to say to use word as an ultimatum, he already tried that they first time he talked to them. People need to understand that doing such useless, senseless things have a consquence in them every once in a while. What he did was right, hopefully they will think twice when throwing glass bottles at elderly homes. Plus i dont consider a 15 year old as a child/kid. I no legally they are children, but in strength they might not be. Jeez at 14 i was able to beat my dad at arm wrestling and he ways 225 and has a 16" bicep still.

I'm not even going to bother getting into that one. Your second comment...once again, I fail to see how there's any logic there. A 14/15 year old is a child. Sure, they did the wrong thing -- and I fully agree that they should be harshly punished. But it's not up to some adult to come in and [b]punch[/b] them in the face. That's child abuse, any way you look at it. If you advocate child abuse, that's fine by me. But that's what it boils down to. lol[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlgaTheDwarf Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Okay, I've read this thread and still have one question. I still want to know, from Harry, if he lied to the police about the kids trying to hit him with their skateboards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 [color=#707875]Yes -- he made it clear that he made that part up. The kids only swore at him. He was the first to use violence.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbfrontmanvdp Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 This could all be solved very easily...Either lock them all up in a room together for a month or they all have to get counseling. I say lock them up in a room for a month lol nah j/k. Really what should happen is they should both see each other with the childs parents and explain the whole situation at hand and come to an understanding.

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=b60039]If it was so pointless then you wouldn't have had to hit the kids in the face. I agree, what they did was wrong, but you really shouldn't have hit them. Calling the police would have been the logical thing to do - what they did was vandalism. And vandalism needs to be punished - it's a serious offense. Harry, think about it..what if you were that kid (and i'm not saying that you would do anthing like that..just hear me out) and you just trashed some random house, not knowing what was in it, and then some adult came out and hit you in the face. That's just..wrong. I can't say it any other way. But you really should have called the police.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
