 Previous Message at 7:17 this morning, a guy walked down our alley, wearing a ski mask, clearly casing our house. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like he might have a gun. WTF do I do, this is really messed up? Previous Message
at a schoool that is a few blocks from my house. They've been periodically ding dong ditching us for a few years now. At first it was entertaining, but it's escalated significantly in the past month. One kid in particular is rather aggressive, kicking the door so hard that it scared the crap out of me a few weeks ago. The situation has escalated to the point that the kids are basically terrorizing the neighborhood. Yesterday I sat on my porch when they got out of school so that they wouldn't do anything. I tried to speak with the principal at the school, but he/she didn't call me back. My wife sent an email to the school yesterday filing a complaint. I legit don't want them to get in trouble, I just want it to stop. I feel like a total Karen, but it's been very annoying. We have two cameras on our front door, so I literally have a video of them every time they do something. If I ever actually get my hands on one of them, I can't guarantee I won't do something stupid. We've clearly given them what they want and escalated the situation, which isn't helping, but I don't know what else to do. Of course the ringleader is a black kid with corn rows, straight from hood rat central casting.
