What ever happened to the tradition of rock salt in a 12-gauge shotgun?? :confused:

still deadly, but thats why i Love living in Texas, I can shoot anyone that is a threat to both my family and property. If someone is breaking in to my car even I can kill them with no questions asked (ok maybe a few lol.) We havent had too many issues in my town, police force is strong, and strict. At least the guy in this article didnt use artificial skunk scent, or buteric acid (think thats what its called)
 
My house has been targeted with eggings recently, if i or my father catches them, they're going to get the beating of a lifetime. When it's -45 outside you don't do that.
 
The most cohesive societies in history have always been those that have allowed unrestricted assaulting of kids with fox urine.


HA! Granted it could of been handled in a better way. I can only imagine the frustration of the poor guy but I dont know the whole story.
 
An assault/manslaughter charge seems like a completely intelligent and reasonable way to deal with someone throwing eggs at your house.

Of course it's reasonable. Either that or you could just sit back and watch your house fall apart. The police won't do anything. It's not like they're going to have cops sit at your house until some kids show up.

Physically injuring someone for damaging your material possessions is in no way reasonable. It's sociopathic.

If your house falls apart after being hit by eggs you've got some serious structural integrity problems.

The police won't do anything.
They will if you assault someone. You attain yourself a criminal record and possibly a gaol term. Sound like a win-win situation to you?

To each his own.

If someone breaks into my house, I would take the safest option and kill them. I would not wait for them to make the first move. Why chance it?

But it may start with eggs, but what is their next escalation? Rocks? Spray-painting the house? We called the cops, they said there was nothing they could do.
 
If he gets hit by an egg, he could get injured. They jumped behind him and choked him, which could cause him to die.

They were lucky he didn't defend himself with more lethal force, as opposed to just spraying them with a foul odor.

I agree. If someone's messing with my house or the things on my property, I'm going to take action. Now, I'm not going to shoot them, but I'm going to at least make sure they stop and don't come back again.

That's reading a little too far into the subject. The kids weren't breaking into anyone's house.
