An friend was once doing some work up a telegraph pole and was
extremely annoyed to discover a youth shooting at him with an air
rifle. He worked out what it was when the second pellet hit his leg.
He descended and was met with a barrage of swear words, threats of
being reported to the youth's daddy and another pellet, after which
he removed the gun and bent the barrel into a U shape (with the aid
of a conveniently placed bit of railway line under which he put the
barrel). He told the youth to take it home to his daddy and tell him
how the barrel got to be bent.
Of course these days the police/government prosecution service would
have prosecuted my friend for causing the youth alarm and distress.
The youth would have been cosseted by social workers and the
so-called victim support organisations.
