Absolutely, I'd go raging over there and probably split the brat's lip wide open. Maybe take a baseball bat and start hitting the rocks back at the kids? THAT would teach him a lesson
Shoot vandals if they are on your property because it is yours we said it was yours you paid for it
Is this any different from what they thought when they started pelting the old man's house with rocks? What problem did this solve other than a flock of kids vandalizing an old man's property?

In all honesty, I really don't know. I would like to think that I would leave vengeance up to karma because to commit the act of vengeance than, I believe, adds onto your own karma. It continues the cycle.
But, I really don't know.
I feel so bad about my friend, the poor old guy that was beaten to death for no reason other than "sport". One can only hope that those individuals that committed this horrible act will suffer the karmatic consequences.
What goes around comes around. As above so below.
Why can't everyone just play nice?
Cannot see the "fun" in hurting another, completely foreign concept to me.edit on 16-10-2010 by ofhumandescent because: Spelling.

As soon as we start bringing up the fact that we are gay the police immediately say "Calling people names is not illegal". I responded with, "actually, it's called harassment, and it is very much illegal it is just not a criminal offence unless a criminal offense is already being perpetrated in which case it becomes a hate crime"
(I'm used to educating police officers on the law since all they seem to learn in police foundations is how to run laps around the gymnasium, but I'll withhold my "opinion" on police education and attitude for another time).
Thing is, 15 year old boys don't know sh*t and they think they know everything,
I'm not about to slaughter them with a machete and pretend it was justified because I was being ridiculed in the only place I was supposed to feel safe from this kind of crap. What did I do? I used a real weapon that cowards wouldn't dare to use -- my words.
Here's why I'm so skeptical of this whole situation: what the hell provoked the children to do this?
Was it repeatedly happening because it was repeatedly provoked?
The man certainly isn't telling us
so how do we know that this man wasn't a lunatic? Because his mother is dependent on him? Last time I checked, the Texas Chainsaw Murderer took good care of his mother, too
I can see the point you're making and I don't exactly disagree, just a difference in opinion in small areas. I'm more or less going after the people in here who thinks it's alright to shoot anyone who is trespassing on your property.
I don't blame anyone for siding with this man, though; it's easy to take the side of the one who can argue their case because they have this thing called life.
