Reminds me of something that happened when I was under 10 years old. I was playing in the garden of my uncle and aunts house. One of those houses in a poor area that had 2 stories above theirs, A similar house 2 doors up, housed what I learnt afterwards was a very rough family with about 4 lads.
At the bottom of the garden was a canal and on the other side a central banking then a river beyond that. While playing, I noticed a man walking up the central banking. He took up position opposite their house and took out an air rifle and laid down. He then fired a pellet at their door, once then twice. One of the lads came to the door and the man fired again and hit him. The lad screamed in pain.
The man calmly packed up his stuff and walked off.
My auntie, when I told her what I had seen said he probably deserved it. Now this lad would probably never know who did it but maybe it made him think twice before being a "bad un" again.
If these scumbags are the type who you wouldn't want to mess with, then maybe it's time to give them some grief that makes THEM think twice.
