For now, I'm just laying low and hoping that the gangsters will find a new hobby soon. As screwed up as their lives are, I'm sure something will come along soon that will take their attention off me.


I can understand this choice of action. A pre-emptive strike in this situation can cause a very serious back lash. These gangs don't think logically. A pre-emptive strike to deal with this type of collective would have to deal with them all to make them think twice. And then it would only take one moron to create a bloodbath. Nonetheless, some form of reconnaisance is required to see this through. Play very safe Jives. Your life is worth more than you think. Consider the kids who would lack your direction. Consider your wife, as you already have.

Please post soon today and let us know you're ok.

The power of prayer is a lot stronger than you may think or realise. Do pray and make sure it comes from the heart. Pray only from the heart. This is not the place to explain this, but what I said is true. Prayer is a very powerful force.

Wisdom sides sometimes with the prudent, but the boldest measures are often the most successful.



In my experience, thugs deserve no quarter, they have no honor and should be killed like wild dogs and left to be picked clean by scavengers.


Far, you're a different person. It may well work for you. You and Jives are very different as is apparent from your posts. We all do what we think is right and often, if we work by our instincts, it proves to be the right thing. Don't consider yourself the lesser man just because your instinct didn't coincide with Jives's. My concern now is that we haven't heard from Jives today. Hope he comes on soon.

Jives is not always online on the weekends, i am not worried about him, he can handle himself.

I hope so LC. I really do. I'll feel better though when I see his post.

Just having a sneaky peep on FG while Ian's in the shower, and cant believe what you've posted Jives!

Please, Please take care of you & your lovely wife, i dont want you to become another statistic!

Take care friend XXX:-4

OMG- I just got a chance to read up on some of this stuff....I will be thinking of you and yours...BE SAFE!!:-4

LC even though Jives can handle himself, a "gun" in the hands of that little 14 year old thug can make him into a 10 foot tall killer! I am very worried for Jives, as "kids" (even though he's a thug, he's still a kid) are very unpredictable! :wah:

one bullet is all it takes. but the kid'll either not go through with it or do something completely stupid and in the end Jives and his family will be safe, the kid will get whats rightfully his and then we can all join in on the victory dance. :guitarist

i havent stopped thinking about this since i came across this thread

I know me too Bella, we just don't hear about this sort of thing where I live.

I'm from the UK Far Rider, if guns are used in any attack then it hits the news big time and everyone knows about it.

I don't mind admitting that guns scare the crap out of me.

That's so true Sherry. We don't usually get a lot of news stories about guns being involved here in the UK, but there is always a new death reported it seems every day on the news, be it local or regional. Most of them seem to be knife related, but sadly these stories are becoming common place nowadays. So sad!! :-1

Walk into school tomorrow like nothing bothers you, let 'em sweat it out, that you know all, and you are the man!

All quiet on the Western Front. Jives fears no gangster or terrorist.

Just keep your eyes open - and your family safe....I will say an extra one or 100 for ya!!!! Be safe......Will charges be pressed for harrasment?

i live in quite a remote little town & we dont have much trouble, reading this makes me want to live even more remote

you done a wonderfull thing by giving that kid a second chance jives, its so sad he dident take it & turn his life around

stay safe, thoughts with you & yours - hugs

Thanks for posting, Jives. Just watch tomorrow at school, and give them that special look teacher's have-you know what's up, and you're having no more of it!

Good thoughts and prayers your way.

So Jives, today's Monday- how did it go? :-3

The door is replaced with a stronger one, the 9mm is loaded (I don't have any young children!) and accessible, and I cut a secret door throught the back of the master bedroom closet that leads to the coat closet right next to the front door making it easier to escape the rear of the house.

Meanwhile, I documented the entire incident, turned over the bullet, and informed the authorities and the school. After that...

It's life as usual, you can't let people like this make you live in fear.

good on ya.

Smart move to have an exit plan, I bet you laid on the homework for them tonight! Glad it is nice and quiet for now, let it remain that way.

yeah, I've had it in the back of my mind for a few years as a fire escape, but now seemed like a good time. It's really pretty neat. You go down the hall from the front door and take a left. Now you are in a long hall that leads to the bedrooms. there is only this way in and out, could be bad.

Now...if you are in the master bedroom, you can go to the back of the room, enter the walk-in closet, open the sliding panel (which was amazingly easy to install, All I had to do was cut out the drywall between the studs and install some standard hardware.)and step out into the coat closet. That closet's door is right beside the main entry door. You step out, open the door and are out of the house in seconds. Cool, huh?:o

And Snoozy, what's up with your sig and avatar?:wah:

Good work, Jives. Hope you never have to use it.

Jives you still OK, how's it going, have things settled down any?
