Are you sick of me or what? I’m sick of me.
Turns out the rash of vandalism in my neighborhood was inflicted with a BB GUN. Some reject went down our street and adjacent streets with a BB GUN and SHOT IT AT OUR CARS. I found this out last night when I got home from the world’s longest meeting and the image of someone SHOOTING A GUN in the direction of MY HOUSE would not leave my head. It’s really not that far of a stretch from there to DRIVE-BY SHOOTING. YES I AM THINKING IN ALL CAPS, THAT IS HOW UPSET I AM ABOUT THIS. As I slammed around my kitchen, furiously putting dishes away, I periodically broke into hysterical sobs when I thought about how Kyle’s bedroom is in the front of the house and what if one of those BB’s went through his window?
Today it is my mission to go around my neighborhood and get all of my neighbors whose cars were damaged to report it to the police. The police are not responding to ME because MY car was not damaged. Now they have Overzealous Concerned Neighbor on their hands.
Oh my God I am right there with you on the absolute horror of that situation. Oh my God I can’t even imagine what it would be like to be in your shoes right now. You know it’s some dumb ass pre-teen with no idea…just no idea of the ultimate horror he could inflict. I support you a million percent; good luck with your cause. Actually, I mean good luck to the police, since they will need it when dealing with a Mother.
Go you! Make it happen. If more people cared enough to take action – there would be a lot less problems to take action on.
GO YOU! I TOTALLY support you! Good luck and keep us posted!!!
Wow, that is so awful. I would be totally freaked out too. I hope your neighbors cooperate.
