Back at my old bachelor pad house we had a great neighborhood. Then the wife and mother of one of the families died. The dad was a total alcoholic and just sat in his chair drinking. His 16 year old son turned to a life of drug dealing and burglary. He even burgled the local cops house.
I went to the local gun range, and brought home my targets with all center hits. I put it up in my garage and it was in clear view of anyone that looked in the window of the garage door.
The drug dealing burglar was arrested for his first felony when he was 16. His second was just after he turned 17. His third strike was just after his 18th birthday. 1/2 a kilo of smack, and a few pounds of weed. Off to the big boy jail. The neighborhood held a big block party in my front yard and driveway. Really, we all brought food and beer and the cop parked his patrol car in the street to keep traffic slowed down and everyone walked over and celebrated his third felony conviction. His dad died a few months later from aspirating his own vomit.
