Yes, Im no advocater of violence, but it's quite remarkable that if these scum KNOW they're going to cop a beating,"next time", they refrain.
Case in point. Friend of mine's parents lived in a nice area, but their fence & gate was continually being vandalised,....they knew the culprits,...spoke to them, no difference,..stuff kept happening all down the street.
So, their son, who's not living at the address, gets involved. waited for these "people" one evening, there's about 7 or 8 of 'em. He fronts 'em , on his own, invites 'em to "have a go". No-one does. Tells 'em, I know who you are, any more of this stuff, & you'll cop it,....and He walks away. No more vandalism.
Problem is that these days, it's all softly softly, scum are stealing/ruining cars, viciously assaulting people, doing all sorts of stuff, in some cases ruining people's lives, with no real punishment at all.
