I chased four vandals into a dark parkway after they hit my letterbox, then they turned around and tried attacking me at the same time....
...I smashed 2-3 of them, then took off running when I heard their mates coming (by foot stomps/running in the dark).
Ran back towards my mate, and he had one of them in a head lock, under his arm, as he was meandering down the footpath with a wineglass full of red, and in his sheepskin slippers...
It was 2 against 7, so I started yelling at me mate "nooooo! History doesn't need to repeat. Think of your kids! Don't do it!!"
...and fed off that and started going bezerker.
I told all of them "don't make it worse!!!"
Then they ran away...
There was no vandalism in our neighbourhood after that, and my mate and I got laid and given casseroles by our neighbours regularly, because we did something that the cops couldn't ever do.
