Patrick Assaulted By Some Thugs

Patrick had some trouble.

I have some teenage (12-14ish) punks that were scared away from my house yesterday by a friend. They were trying to break apart my stockade fence that covers my back yard. Well, today, they came back, this time they did rip up the fence a bit, but still couldn’t get through, so two of them knocked on my front door asking if they could trim my bushed for $5, while two others went around the back of my house and stole a big 55gal. fish tank that I had next to my garage.

Luckily my buddy came to my rescue again and called telling me those punks were walking down the street with that big fish tank, so we jumped in my car and tore off after them. That tank is heavy so they only made it about three blocks. I expected them to drop it, but they sat it down gently. When we got out of the car, one punk said that ’some man” told him no one lived there (my house) and they could have the fish tank. That of course didn’t hold water, remember, two of them came to my front door. When they were ready to just give it back and walk away, I told them to stick around, the cops were already on the way. This of course made them take off running, but not before the tallest one called one of them “Lil Tone” and gave him a sign. So I assume one is names Tony or Anthony. One of the others was recognized by my friend to be a kid that has been around the neighborhood on the back of a red mini-bike, so they will be around.

Sorry, but if I were Patrick, I would have answered the door with shotgun in hand, a few curse words, and wild-ass crazy eyes.  If that didn’t work, I’d unlock my safety and call 911. 

Patrick, West Bend has some reasonable home prices and a low crime rate.  Come join us.

  1. “Sorry, but if I were Patrick, I would have answered the door with shotgun in hand, a few curse words, and wild-ass crazy eyes.”

    I like the visual. A couple of Alka-Seltzers would add a nice “foaming at the mouth” touch.

  2. I need Plaisted to tell me if “punks” is worth more Offense Points than “thugs”.

  3. Yes, because wielding a gun would be the appropriate response to this situation.

  5. Slight correction - there were two of them - so I would have had my over and under ready to go.

  6. Only in America could someone write “trim my bushed for $5” and earn ‘enuff’ to own a home.

    Is this a great country or what?

    Seriously, if those kids have a father present I don’t think this stuff would be going on. Maybe Obama’s on to something.

    Making a great country better.

  7. I would find it much more appropriate to answer the door with my .45 openly holstered on my hip, but I wouldn’t want to push my tactical choice unto others…
