I've been loosely following a local story here in which a group of teens were sneaking around houses at night, ringing doorbells and then running away, wandering sneakishly amongst houses all in the wee hours of the morning. Several reports to police were made over the past year or so about this one house in particular near a graveyard which seems to attract these dumbshit teens. Well last month, the owner of house saw kids running around his house in what appeared to be an attempt to break-in - so he shot them. Now he's going to jail - and everyone feels sorry for the teen girl who was shot. Im not. In fact, Im pissed off that they've charged this homeowner for trying to protect himself, his family and his home. Granted he probably shouldnt have just shot randomly out the window, however in light of the 22 previous reports that he's placed about kids constantly wandering around his house at all hours of the nite makes the homeowners actions somewhat understandable. Evidently Columbus' finest policemen didnt put much thought into his complaints.. perhaps now they will.

Moral of the story? Quit being dumbasses.
