Poor daughter.

Dad fires at friends of his daughter's rolling his yard

Ah… This is why the Magee PD put out that Facebook note saying Castle Doctrine doesn’t apply to kids’ rolling yards.

 

[The Peeper]

When kids got ours, I just always let the next rain wash it out, no big deal. But that's just me......

Holy sh*t! How does this not "fit aggravated assault?" And why is the Magee police chief commenting on something that happened in Covington County? Sounds like the judge and sheriff know the guy who shot the girls.

My late father in law shot at TP rollers every Halloween. When I say shot at I mean shot straight up in the air and laughed. Even after his youngest was grown, married, and gone , area kids still rolled his yard. It was a badge of honor to be “ shot” at by Mr Atkins. It was a rite of passage.

I think that shooting up might be funny. I think that shooting at is just crazy.

I don't think this is what they meant by "justice is blind"

I just sit in my chair and tell my kids to go get all that **** out of my yard.

That’s how I keep from getting mad about it. I don’t have to deal with it.

And yes I did it when I was young too.

My favorite was us just randomly doing it in the middle of the summer to someone. Not around Halloween or homecoming week. Just like a random night in June or something. You know they would wake up the next morning confused as hell.

I’m glad to seeing rolling yards is still a thing. Good natured fun for kids to have…. My neighbor has a kid that is either 10th or 11th grade at Madison central and his yard got rolled before school started. The neighbor and I laughed about the poor effort by the kids. Someone needs to teach these kids to do better than the job I saw.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I don't think we ever did it to a true "enemy's" house. We'd usually do it to our own friends homes, and the parents always made the teenager in residence clean it up. So we kind of policed ourselves of it by pissing each other off. I do recall someone forking a yard, with plastic utensil stuck in the ground everywhere. Glad that wasn't my cleanup duty.

My x was a school teacher, and we got hit often. Especially Halloween. We set up water hoses to wet them down,
and or get egg off the house. No 12ga involved.

We never egged anything. Even as stupid kids, we knew you'd have to really be an a$$hole to do that. We just rolled. Never got shot at, but we did have the family come home in the middle of us rolling the yard, it was at the end of a dead end road so there was no escape. They made us clean up the rolling that we had done. That was a bit embarrassing. And one time, the girls whose yard my sister & I rolled gathered up the toilet paper and used it to roll our house the next night.

 

[GloryDawg]

My yard got rolled and egged a bunch when my kids were in high school. I put cameras up and called the police. It only took one time for it to stop. When they were scrubbing the cars and walls of my house the next day it wasn't all that fun. Sid note the castle doctrine is only good if you feared for you life.

There was also the time the parents and kids in the house heard us and came running after us. I was fumbling for the key and my buddy kept saying "Let's get out of here." I said "I can't find the key." Then he said "Forget the key, let's just get out of here." I gave him hell about that one for a while.

Get a paintball gun. Thats what a couple of our coaches did and it was good natured fun but also very effective

 

[HotMop]

I never rolled a house of someone I didnt like, I did save packing peanuts for the unsavory people though.

Questions. Is that his car, the daughter’s car or someone else’s? She refers to her father as, “Steve?” What is she trying to put together in the previous text?

Same. Had a friend's dad who used to do the same to us in the 80s.

Rolling trees is nothing. Only time we ever got in trouble for it was when we also left a maxi-pad on the tp’ing receipients car with ketchup on it. For some reason that was over the line.

I was with a group senior year who salted our teacher's front yard one time while rolling and sticking plastic forks all over the ground....After I realized it, I wished I hadn't been there. He was a guy we actually liked, too. He was super pissed in class once he noticed the grass dying. I remember him saying it's done now and I don't care - I just want to know what it was to know how I can fix it. No one ever admitted anything, to my knowledge.

 

[POTUS]

Not sure if true but I heard a story once that a dad thought he’d be funny and shoot his paintball gun at some high school kids rolling his yard. Hit a girl in the eye and she ended up losing the eye. Think there was/is a lawsuit over it. Again, unsure if all the details are correct but did hear a guy tell a story like that. Tragic.

 

[Walkthedawg]

Ehh… I bet he shot over their heads or in the air. Just trying to make it sound like it was at them to scare them some more. It doesn’t sound like the daughter is a real genius since she is asking how to put the hose on a pressure washer.

Damn, y'all liked the guy and "salted the earth" of his lawn? I gotta know what you did to the a$$hole teacher.

Oh, totally different story. As long as he was shooting over the heads or in the air, and not directly AT the….checks notes….unarmed teenage girls, then its no harm no foul.

How do I know you didn't read the story or see the picture of the vehicle?

Literally didn't read the story and see pictures of the vehicle with holes in it...it sounded a lot like it was at them when it hit their car...

Rural setting shooting in the air is nbd. My own grandmother used to say that if "they" came into her yard at night she would shoot first and ask questions later. To my knowledge, she never fired a gun in her life, but her rhetoric was convincing and "they" never tried her.

My dad loved when people rolled our house. He would send us out afterward to find roles that were dropped or not fully utilized. Saved us a bunch of money, and it was a good day when kids used the high-dollar stuff.

My wife bought a Sam's worth of Scot and I would supply the whole high school with rolling material if I could get rid of this crap. Literally could read a book through it...

Toilet paper? Nope, Get yourself a Bidet. You will not ever worry about how soft the toilet paper is again. You only use it to
pat dry and you don't even need it if you get the deluxe model that dries as well.

Best purchase I made for the lake cottage. I will be getting second one for the guest qtrs.

After about a year of being Sam's members way back when I was married, we realized it was costing us more money than we were saving and we were about to need to build a warehouse out back to hold everything. So we dropped and I've never looked back.

What kinda choke did he have in that shotgun? He gonna have to let someone get into arms reach before he could reasonably expect to hit someone. ***

prolly shouldn't shoot at girls rolling a yard.
