What would you do? *home invasion*

Make sure everything is securely locked up at night - including the house.

Be glad it was just a bunch of hairy assed boys playing on their image trying to gate crash the party

Many years ago I was unfortunate enough to be involved in a violent episode of similar circumstances but it involved 3 car loads of Highway61s arriving at a party to seek retribution on one of the occupants of the house (details we won't get into

). But they forced their way into the place and it ended up a full-on brawl that ended up being broken up by the police, a few people had to go to A & E and a good number got taken away in the paddy-wagon

They may have some sort of humanity and might leave you alone.

I've done this myself with less extreme incidents after moving in to my current home. Nerve racking but managed to let them know that I wasn't looking for a war but would call the cops if there were more problems. Ended up doing this several times. But, my guys don't sound half as fucked up as yours though. Be very careful mate, there are so many ways they could fuck your deal up. Especially if you have family or pets there as well.

im semi inclined to have a weapon ready to use but thats not going to do anything but create more agro as DMNTD says

( what a softie aye

)

Soft you are not, these guys sound like fucked up and unpredictable units. Be smart. Legal weapons for self defense are always an option but you have to know how to use them IMHO.

True that.
Only other thing I can think of is trying to find a family connection that has some influence on the ring-leaders behaviour. But I guess that if he was connected with someone like this he wouldn't be giving you grief. He'd be busy studying rocket science.
Good luck man. And if you are having a party make sure I get an invite.

There's alot of good advice here. The main thing is to keep calm and have a clear head. I've had 6 of these types of idiots approach me at a park while an as "have you ever had a hiding, MATE??". They play on fear, as they themselves are totally gutless and little more than animals.

They really have no idea how to react to someone that shows no fear, no stress, no emotion. They shit themselves wished me a happy day and went there way. Why? Simple, they're all full of shit, and need to get all worked up into a frenzy. If they were serious, you would be in hospital by now.

Same thing happenned whan I lived up north in Omaha Beach. Had an idiot and his mates walk in and start going off their nuts about a "nark" etc. I was calm, quiet spoken, and of course, had my hand on the 30cm carving knife which they couldn't see. After they left, I notified to cops, and an Army buddy who served in the Falklands. had they come back, they would have been in treal trouble - but they never did.

Keep an eye on them, everything locked up tight around the house, and stay calm. That way you'll see any trouble before it happens and be able to make the right decisions about what action to take.

Get a mean dog and a baseball bat, I've lived in South Ak my whole life and never had a problem with the local scum. German Shepards are great cause it reminds them of the last time they got chased by the police so they stay well clear. Good luck in dealing with the shit bags

**Disco Dan** · 30th October 2006, 23:00

cameras.

Get security cameras.

Then at least you can send them the tape of their mate getting half eaten by your alsation!

**insane1** · 30th October 2006, 23:27

for farks sake just have a baseball bat handy or if needed well have a party at your place and pay them a quiet visit and tell them to tone it down. a lot of bikes at once might give them the message .

**Hillbilly** · 30th October 2006, 23:46

So long as they're all HD's. They wouldn't recognize/know anything else.

Whatever plan you choose, if they enter your home again, or are about to, your first priority must be to ring the police as soon as possible.

As for the crossbow.... for self defense it wouldn't be much use. A crossbow's rate of fire is only about 5 or 6 non aimed shots per minute, so they're no good against multiple targets at all, unless you get them to stand in a line first. The bolts have almost no stopping power either, they just cut as they pass through the target, almost like a single clean stab wound. Even if you're lucky enough hit an important organ with one, the chances are too high that it isn't actually going to stop the guy lunging at you with a knife. It could be minutes before he eventually drops depending on how much P he smoked that day.
The other thing with any weapon is that you would have to be prepared to use it without hesitation, and be competent enough with it to be confident that it won't get turned on you. Retaliation with any kind of weapon could turn a beating into a killing if it all goes pear shaped.

Making a stronghold in the house could be an option you don't seem to have considered, pick a room to where you can retreat, one with a solid door (or with one that can be made solid), that can be locked fast and tight, if the room has windows, then make them hard to climb through. If nothing else it will slow them down long enough to give the cops a chance to get there. Already they would have been slowed down by the front door.... you did lock it, didn't you?

Matey, none of them:

Get some help: even if it costs you a few bucks, get some Intelligent reliable, Military types:

Hire a truck,get some balaclava's,gloves,Tie Wraps, and some Big Sticks, and cattle prods.

Raid them, load them in the truck, take them out into the country;

No Talking, and Fucking deal to them with a cane, bear Arse naked, in front of video camera,

Then take them back home:

Then post the video clip on the net with a picture of their house, and their names.

You make sure you are on Holiday somewhere.

Justice matey: you have every fucking right in the world to feel safe in your own home.

The Cops are ham strung matey, very PC:

Scum have more rights than you, under their human rights agenda.
