About a month ago I heard some boys voices as they went walking by, for some reason I had an intuition to take a look out toward the street just as they turned and started walking back looking towards our house, this was midweek and midday.

I had walked into our living room to see what they were up to, the blinds were down and only partially open.
Sure as heck a kid maybe 10 turned towards our house and started running down the driveway just as he turned onto our sidewalk I yanked up the blinds and tapped on the glass loud.
He came to a sudden stop and looked very surprised, I held up my hands gesturing what?

He looked down turned his butt around and sheepishly rejoined his little group, they all took off quickly.

I can only hope being surprised that they are being watched and caught almost in the act took the fun out of those antics.

I did some dumb things as a kid but would never have considered kicking someone's door.
That is absolutely asking for a bad outcome.

I'm heartbroken to hear about the 11 year old that got shot in the back and died over something so very stupid. That homeowner was in the wrong for using deadly force, that's completely uncalled for IMHO.
