I can see my neighbours son out in the back garden. He is urinating against the shed. Yesterday he damaged the fence, and I have seen him spraying racist slogans on a wall. Iwent to complain to his father who swore at me and became aggressive. However, I have a shotgun and I think I can probably get the son from the bathroom window. I feel I owe it to humanity to destroy the brute before he does any more damage. But I am worried about geting caught.
Should I shoot the youth to save humanity?

Mmm. This is a connundrum to be sure. You see, we don't know that he isn't perfectly normal and you are a total nutter. On the other hand, if you are perfectly normal and he is as bad as you say he is, you might be doing the right thing.
Certainly, you cannot be left to judge which of these two situations is true, because if you are a total nutter, you will be the last one to know it.
What we need is some arrangement where, if he does anything really unacceptable, some independant authority can tell the rights and wrongs of it all. Just to be safe, a group of independant people - say a dozen. Then we need a set of rules by which they can tell right from wrong and someone who understands the rules to apply them.
I think we should call it "the legal system".
What we should then do is lock up any mad fuckers who shoot people out of windows!

Don't we all wish that would could have shot someone at some point or another? But unfortunately that's not exactly legal. If i were you i would EVERY TIME there is a problem call the cops that way they have a record of every complaint against this person. its not gonna happen the first time they come out but once they come out so many times eventually something will be done for a repeat offender!. Please don't take matters into your own hands. Furthermore its only ok to shoot someone in self defense only if ur life was threatened. Just call the authorities!

Go out and buy or steal an unregistered handgun. Wipe your fingerprints off of it when you get home. Next time the yoyo is peeing on your shed call out to him from your open doorway, "Hey want some free crack?". He will come running. You should back away from the door to the far side of your kitchen. When he comes running through the open door shoot him in the head once. DON'T MISS! Put the handgun into his hand making sure to get his prints all over it. Call the police and tell them he came storming in your door with a gun, threated to kill you and luckily you had just finished cleaning and loading your gun. Lucky for you, not for him.

Of course you should shoot him, but don't stop there that's selfish.
Find out which other delinquents are upsetting your neighbours and shoot them too.
When you've shot all of them widen your net and find other reasons to shoot people, the reasons will be endless and if you keep shooting long enough you will have total peace and quiet because you will be the only person left on the planet.
Happy hunting.

Don't shoot him! We had the same problem, we formed an informal neighbourhood watch thing with the other people in our street that couldn't stand it. We continuously campaigned to anyone that could do anything until they were moved, the children ended up living with their grandparents and are really happy now. We didn't enjoy it but we couldn't live with it any longer. Alternatively shoot the parents.

I understand the urge to shoot him, after all, he may end up in some really sticky situations when he's older so you may be doing him a favour.
Nevertheless, there is no way you should do it, as, even if you were to think of nothing but yourself, you would purely be doing something as bad, if not, worse than him. Which in turn would make you a worse person.
Tell the police.

The only way to shoot someone legally is if they are on your property or home and they pose a threat to you and your family. If you shoot him out of the window with the shotgun balistics will prove that the shot came from your window.

If I were you I would record him when he is doing something wrong. Take it to his father so he could see, you were not lying. After that go to the police and press charges against him. If he is destroying your property, well he has to pay.. But by you shooting him it's only gonna make it worst. You will be the delinquent and is it worth going to jail for. I really don't think so!!! Good luck to you....

No not a good idea. I try to steer clear of people like that but understand that in your position this would be difficult. If you have tried the parents, (who from their reaction are actually the cause) I would try the police. There must be some way of getting through to him

Rather than shed blood- shed light. Take video or still pics of this kid doing things. Then call the cops and show them. Let them handle talking to the father. Won't HE be surprised!
Have a great day!!!
