Bad idea to pull your piece in that situation. As soon as you get it out you have 5 more pointed at you. Just leave and know that piece of shit will be in jail soon enough. Especially when you call the cops from around the corner and let them know about the gang activity in front of the convenience store.
Exactly.
Last summer we had a gang of teens come over from a section 8 / HUD neighborhood and tried to turn our tennis courts into a full court basketabll area . They had this mkae shift stand and basket on both ends with a big $ sign on the crappy little backboard.
The cops came only once , so we called an emergency meeting of the Home Owners Assoc.
The HOA secretery and auditor has a deputy for a hubby . We authorized a few extra bucks to hire him for weekend patrol.I went down with him and some other folks in my HOA and we dismantled the make shift basketball crap and hauled it off. The deputy sat there for a few hrs and waited for then and they came that saturday, late afternoon.
His wife emailed me and said he got on the bull horn and let them know they were tresspassing and to move on.
They did and never came back.
I had a group of young teens (12-15) come down my street and start shooting hoop in the end of the Cul DeSac I live on.
I went out, asked them who they were and did they have persmission to use that basket from the lady who lives there. They looked confused but just shrugged their shoulders and moved on. They never came back either.
I have noticed that if you act polite yet firm and hassle these kind of folks, (without threatening to fight them)
they tend to move on. They don't seem to want to hassle with the law or people who will really call them and be quiet yet persistant. In other words, you don't really physically confront them , you simply take reasonable action.
This seems to really disarm them for some reason.
