This afternoon I was reading a textbook for my uni project, when I heard something hit my window. As it happened again I realised that a bunch of local ferral chav kids were throwing stones at my flat's windows.
Edit: Post match analysis showed them to range 1cm to over 1" lumps of brick and stone.
My immediate impulse was to go out there and..
what exactly?
Despite them being [lets not get into name calling - we all know what they are], a moment's thought curbed my urge to batter them - chav lowlifes or not, they were just kids.
So I thought about my options:
Beat up little kids - it's not really on, however much fun it might be.
Call the police - would they care? I guess if it was a call to the station, rather than a 999 call, maybe that's a decent response.
Go out there and talk to them - If you're not actually going to back it up with violence, what do you expect to happen?
Best case scenario? You take them back to their parents, who actually care and do something about it.
Realistic scenario? You end up in a position where you have to either do something or back down. Neither of which is a good outcome.
And then, there's the distinct possibility that when faced with the little scum, I'd lose my composure and mess them up despite my best intentions.
In the end, they eventually gave up, while I mulled over what to actually do. Fortunately my windows are still intact.
I felt like a complete idiot for not doing *something* though.
Am I being too soft? Are they fair game for taking a beating?
What would you have done?
Next time, use the hose. :-)
For all you middle class people out there, please don't judge all chavs by a couple of kids who throw stones at my house.
Or do. Whatever.
Then they'd be sorry.

So what you're saying is that the crazy frog is black?
Because not one single member of Slayer is a negro, nor do they enact a negros mannerisms the chav children will scurry away and listen to their Jamster ringtones.
And instead of a bucket I could use a molotov cocktail.
Good times :^)

I quite like that idea, make sure it's rain water thats been left to gather bacteria for a couple of months at best so it stinks like hell, maybe add some dye to it as well. Naturally you then can expect some sort of retaliation soon after..
