I know someone who took the same approach, forgetting of course that
the yobs all had dads too (admitedly not all their own of course!) who
didn't take kindly to it so put all his house windows through. His
reaction was to draft in his mates to intimidate them, and so it
escalated. I think the latest count is 3 sets of windows and a torched
car with no end in sight, hardly setting a good example to the youths
is it...
