Mean people suck...

I'm so sorry, Cirque!

When I was around 8 years old, we had a neighbor who was just a mean bastard. He would threaten the kids in the neighborhood if they walked on his lawn, etc. One day we were all outside playing, and our dog Boots was sitting on the sidewalk watching us. This asshole came roaring up the street in his new truck, then deliberately swerved and ran over our dog. When the police went to his house he told them our dog ran out in front of his truck. Since it was just a bunch of kids against an adult the police couldn't do anything, but when the guy's truck was found keyed, tires slashed and with a gas tank full of sugar the police really weren't all that interested in finding out who did it. He moved shortly thereafter.

If he had been my neighbor, he would have found his new truck a smoldering pile of scrap.
