    Ha, funny you should say... sadly the 6.5, .303, .22, and my little single barrelled 12g were locked up at home...where they should stay in times of anger...

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    Dude, if you lose control you just plain lose. Chances are ripping around back streets, target fixation, steaming mad, attention totally taken off the actual task of driving, you were a bigger hazard than anything the kid coulda done.

    Been there done it myself, when we were walking back to our car in a big shopping centre in Perth and noticed a guy standing next our HDT VK Commodore. He quickly jumped into a car next to it and drove off as we approached. Sure enough, the fucker had had a slide hammer and had just reefed out the driver's door lock on his way to stealing it. Blood boiling, I jumped in and we took off through the back streets looking for them, hoping to at least get a rego number. It was only when my my terrified missus pointed out that I'd look fuck'n stupid having an accident over a theft that didn't happen that I cooled it and stopped driving like an absolute dick.

    Gotta stay in control mate or things will only escalate.

    Wow. If you want to join the police, join the police. Otherwise keep your nose out of other peoples business. If his parents can't bring him up well enough to stop him becoming a hood ornament at an early age, then that is their problem.

    Disagree, its it a social and therefore a community problem for the community to play a part in.

    so you dont think anyone should worry about someone putting theirs and other's lives at risk through their illegal and stupid actions? Bet your views would change if it were one of your family members who got pasted as this guy comes through their windscreen.

    Trust me pal, i aint no straight, but i know the world i wanna live in.

    Pal ... anyone who did what you did is a straight in my book ... and you are just as likely to have nutted off at me for some of the things I've done in my life ... It's my life and I'll do with it what I will .. without interference or input from people like you ...

    It's sad that there are so many who have become so disillusioned by society that they set about trying to convince themselves that they can happily live outside of society - even to the point of seemingly advocating anarchy.

    It's even more sad when those people are old enough to know that anarchy doesn't work.

    Only when we accept that the way forward for society is to start working together, instead assuming the "I'm all right, fuck you" attitude, will we see an improvement in that society.

    Consider yourself told off.
