Had a similar incident from the one of the "kids" (he's 25) down the street.. His alcoholic dad beat and abused he and his brother unmercifully while they were growing up.. They are both products of their environment, disrespectful to anyone, no matter who it is... Anyhow, both have been in and out of jail their entire lives.. Both(as well as the father) have several felonies each.. One day ,the younger of the "kids" came over to ask if he could use the phone.. I let him use the home.. Afterwards, he asked for a ride to a pawnshop to sell off some old video games.. On the way there, I offered the dude a job in my kitchen, only to have him disappear on me and not show up for work once he got a paycheck (sound familiar??) as well as stealing an entire dry aged tenderloin worth around $200.00.. He partied his entire paycheck away and had no intention of returning to work seeing that I called the cops on him for theft.. Plus, he landed in jail on a public intox and assault charge.. When he was finally released, he stopped over and I told him that I was done with him.. That I'd given him a chance to step up and be a productive citizen.. After this, I received threats and shoutings saying things like "I run this block m-fer! This is my block b*tch" and so forth.. Funny thing is, this isn't "that kind" of neighbor hood and all my redneck neighbors made sure he knew that every little thing he did was being watched.... Now, he doesn't walk down the street anymore, but jumps the fence in his backyard when ever he has to walk somewhere.. Amazing... A 25 year old man, who still lives with his father, had no job, no car, no anything... "This is my block!! I run this m-fer!!" indeed!!! LMAO
A majority of these idiots are not worth taking any time to deal with in such a manner.. It is very rare that you will find one that you can reason with on any level.. You, my friend are quite lucky, however it may still come back to bite you in the arse...
It's amazing to see what these kids start to think when someone gives them a good talking-to.. A lot of them see it as "disrespect" and will seek retaliation especially after they are
egged on by all their hood-brothas... "You gonna let him talk to you like dat??"
These kinds of people have a sense of entitlement for some reason.. They think that what ever they want is theirs.. What ever they want to do, they can do, no matter who it hurts....
Many times, they are very primitive in their thinking and don't understand much more than a sharp blow to the head....
