More on the death threats

Carry a gun to the bus stop. The threats will end.

The police said if they call again, we can get that sort of stuff. As it stands, they regard it as a one off prank, they've called and told the kids they can be charged, and we have to wait and see what happens. I think it was probably a random thing, they had our number from the leaflet drop Donna did for our missing cat ( yes, we lost both our cats in a couple of months ).

I hate to say it but they may have harmed your cats.

No no, shooting the children on the bus will definitely stop the threats.
My current favourite word is: Waffle Cheese is still good though.

I voted you a 5 by accident, I meant to give you a 1. Sorry about the confusion.

Although I firmly believe one has to right to defend one's self and his/her family, I don't think it would be wise for his kids to handle a gun without close supervision. I first learned how to use and fired a gun when I was 8, but under close supervision I was at an Air Force base shooting range. Perhaps Chris himself should carry it and attend his children to the bus stop. I highly recommend that he get a small firearm for the house. However he lives in a nation where you are not allowed to have adequate means to defend one's self. Even if he lived in America, he would be too scared. He is one who must rely on others to protect him and his family. Perhaps being in fear of his and his family's life will convince him otherwise.

The neighbours dogs attacked my cat, these people live up the road. Lilly is another matter, but it doesn't seem likely.

The fact that you are pro-gun that makes a good case for gun control.

That's not my fault. :)

He's not pro-gun, he's pro-self defense. It just so happens that a gun is a very effective means of defense.

Seems the death threats were the deadbeat kids up the road. They were asking Hannah on the bus if we got any weird calls on the weekend and acting all mysterious. My wife is keen on threatening the kids with legal action ( which we can't take based on one call ). I would prefer to not be escalating things, because the parents are morons ( we have no-one to go to ), and I can see if we try to start an arms war, my kids will pay the price. What do you guys think ? Obviously, if they call again, or harrass my kids further, that's another matter, but Donna wanted to start the legal threats on the weekend, before the kids had done anything further at all. All that's happened is that someone asked my daughter if we got any weird calls on the weekend.

Two cartons of Boags Strongarm and a plane ticket to Tasmania a place to stay for a couple of nights and I will give the kids and their parents a little visit.

I was in a similar situation years back. The callers were not kids but adolecents. The first thing is not to take it seriously, you know, as in actually worrying. Now, both the phone company and police are forced to take it seriously. You can pass it along to them. In my case, I simply recorded the call and let them handle it.

I am also, but people like him are the last people that need to have guns. He is the one who freaked out and started threatening me the other day just over something I said.

The neighbours dogs attacked my cat, these people live up the road. Lilly is another matter, but it doesn't seem likely.

And you doubt it is possible they threw your cat in with the neighbor dogs?

They live too far away, and my house is too far from the street for that to be remotely likely. The cat jumped over the fence just outside the kitchen, I can't imagine they came down here, walked up my drive and did that while we were in the kitchen.

If they do one more thing, then I will get serious. For now, it was a dumb thing some kids did on a Sunday, and I will lay low rather than force things to get worse.
