Yeah, he hit a house tho and could've killed someone (other than the thiefs). Can't buck rounds at dudes stealing your car unless your life is at risk, which will be hard to prove if you choose to come outside to confront them.

Agreed on not a great idea. Did it hurt someone? No. Pay for the damage and let's all move on.

I mean, what about the next time when it does kill a neighbour?

I would honestly trust legal owners more than gangbangers of knowing their target and what's behind it.

I would tend to agree however you must have seen how our crown land shooting spots are being treating and understand that our assumption here isn't always true.
