nobody--not even the girls who were with her or their parents were pointing out that they were tresspassing and taunting an old woman and her pathetic son because their fence and house overgrown and in disrepair I tend to get a little hot.

Given how long it's been going on, I wouldn't be shocked if the parents had done the same thing, to the same people, in their day.

I think these unfortunate girls are the tail end of a very long chain. Not to justify in any way shooting at them - but what exactly were the police likely to have done? Tormenting weird people is not exactly high on the list of things this society gives a damn about.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The girls made two rounds of the house. Once, some of them went onto the property. Then the driver of their car honked the horn to scare them (which probably scared the guy) and the girls took off and then made ANOTHER sweep around the property.

That's when the guy shot his gun out of his window.

Hey folks.

Fay you really are living some kind of fairy tale movie I think.

Sean just arrived. He's working for me today. We're doing prep work for Halloween at Universal Studios. We are having breakfast before heading to the warehouse. I just ordered huevos rancheros again.

What is even happening?

No, but if/since the girls were on the family's property, the cops could have chased them off.

I was just wondering about Sparky's comments, and if I'd missed something specifically about these kids being repeat offenders.

You didn't miss anything, Cindy. Specifically, this might have been the first offense for these girls. I was speaking more generally in that, if parents/authority figures had stepped in from the beginning, to stop the taunting and make it clear that this wasn't acceptable way to act against this man/family, then the girls might never have gotten the idea this was a way to spend their evening.

I'd bet folding money that brenda's right about the parents tormenting the guy, back in their day. It's like Boo Radley, only with a bad ending.

Timelies.

I love the white dog and getting to take it home for the night would have been my sole goal if I'd been in Miss Fay's class.

{{{Sean and S}} ~ma to you both.

the place is still deserted.

I was sleeping. Aidan decided not to sleep until 5:30 this morning. Needless to say, he's missed his second day of school. Hopefully things will be better by Monday.

Again, generally speaking, I think it's not just the news coverage that favors good-looking cheerleader/football player types. Parents, teachers, cops, principals, etc., are all inclined to give 'em a pass on behavior they might not ignore in other, less Norman Rockwell kids.
