Lack of respect in young people today

[rnoyster]

Next time it happens, just call the law and tell them that you have everything under control! Just tell them that you are locked and loaded and will handle any problems that arise in the area! They will be there quickly, I assure you! It is also a good thing that it was you and not me that went to investigate, because when the loud mouth cursed me, I would have put the dog on his tail! What Officer? Mean dog? Where? I was walking my dog and that loud mouth verbally abused me and made a threatening gesture to me. My protection dog did what he has been trained to due when trouble starts!

What I would do is write down what you remember of those punks. Guess the height, weight. Did you get at least hair color? Clothes they were wearing.

Reason why I am saying that is there were 2 guys driving around our county and breaking into different out buildings. Stealing tools, ATV's, bikes and just about everything they could lift.
A game warden caught them at a preserve with a weapon, illegal, and caught them with several stolen items in the back of their truck.
judge threw it out. The crooks walked with everything they stole and there was nothing anybody could do about it.

NYchickies this documenting could catch this jerks if they decide to start stealing.
Good for you getting up to check it out. JMHO next time go armed.

exactly!!!! I only had 1 call happen like what the OP did and I told the dispatcher Ok, I'll call you back after I shoot them. The cops were at the end of my driveway faster than you could shake a stick!

OH MY GOODNESS! You are so funny!

As far as how I phrased anything, I didn't call 911, and indicate an emergency. I called the barracks. I told him that my dog was barking (and, the dog was in the house), and that I heard male voices. I asked that if he had a patrol car in the area, would he have the officer check it out. I didn't indicate it was an emergency, but something suspicious that needed to be looked into.

Got news for ya, 80% of the population DOES work on Sunday morning. We are no longer a 5 day a week 9-5 society. I have not had a Sunday off in about 15 years.

I think this would be an exaggeration. The United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that about 30% of people work on weekends. They, of course, do not distinguish between Sunday and Saturday on their site. But I think it would be fair to assume that most people who work on the weekends are working primarily on Saturdays. So probably less than 30% work on Sundays.

"Got news for ya"? I am truly sorry if you were personally offended by me expressing my opinion here. It was not my intent.

What about all the department/grocery/hardware type stores? Or any other store for that matter, they are open 7 days a week and they have to have employees. That's a LOT of people working BOTH weekend days.

And what difference does it make if she were awoken on a work day or not? It's still being bothered in the wee hours of the morning and that is BS. You must be fortunate enough to live somewhere where people don't vandalize and steal if you're not worried about something waking you at 2am.
