Property damage
I got a nice awakening around 3 am this morning. My dogs were barking like crazy and sure as shit, there were two people damaging our above ground swimming pool. It's completely ruined. I woke up and immediately grabbed my Ruger 9mm, walked outside and cocked it. Sure enough, they heard it and took off running dead sprint (yelled "Oh shit"). I wasn't planning on firing it (I'm not stupid). They decided to talk loads of shit and throw beer bottles and firecrackers in our yard. We called the cops and they showed up, took a report and then waited to see if they'd come back. They showed back up and threw another bottle, broke it in the neighbors yard.
A couple minutes later, they were handcuffed and apologizing. We have the option of pressing charges, make them pay for the pool replacement and not press charges, or do both. This backfiring in their face was pretty funny and the worthless punks are 23,24 years old. What should we do?...And bringing the gun out was a massive adrenaline rush. |

I would press charges and make them pay. Not like they made an honest mistake, they were asses who got caught, the only thing they are sorry for is getting caught.

Did he use a condom or bareback? This is important information to factor in.

Being that old, and doing shit like that.. they obviously missed a well needed lesson along the way. Bring the hammer down. Death in the Iron Maiden...

Drop the charges and fix the pool yourself...because...
First, the adrenaline rush ya got was more than worth the price of admission. Besides, if it hadn't been for them, ya probably wouldn't have touched the gun for a few more years. Second, they'll be on and won't stray from the straight and narrow path for sure when they see you've dropped the charges. Besides, you'll be better off putting this whole incident behind you immediately instead of it weighing on your mind and serving as a reminder for the next couple of years as you have to make appearances in court, issue statements to the police and lawyers, wonder if the two perps have friends and/or family who are willing to take out their bitterness against you at a place and time of their choosing, etc. Third, they're probably jobless or making minimum wage and will take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to pay for the repair costs which means more legal fees for you if you want to try to get the money faster. Besides, you'll learn some valuable skills which will come in handy when you pursue your next career adventure as an above-ground pool repair technician. |
