Some people need a good old fashioned butt whipping and these punks today have zero respect for anyone and think they are invincible.

True story that happened about 3 hours ago.

I was parked in the parking lot of a local gas station completing some reports. I see 2 kids (13-14yoa) ride up on a bicycle. One of the kids spoke with such bad English that I just shook my head and frowned.

The 2 kids go inside the station and each buy a bottled drink. I pull out of my parking space and up to the pumps to get gas. I'm standing there pumping my gas when all of a sudden I see one of the kids intentionally drop his empty drink bottle on the ground, trying to break the bottle. The bottle doesn't break after dropping it two times so this punk donkey kid decides to SLAM it on the walkway, right in front of the doors leading into the store. Both kids start laughing as they get on their bikes to ride away. I look around and see other customers just shaking their heads in disbelief. I get in my truck and yell out for the two kids to come here. The kid who broke the bottle gives me a smirk and goes about his business. I pull up behind him and turn on my lights and siren (I drive an unmarked vehicle) and he about crapped a brick. I get out and this is how the conversation went.

Me- Why did you break that bottle?

Kid- What bottle?

Me- The bottle you broke on the ground.

Kid- Oh, that was an accident. I'm sorry, sir.

Me- (as he just totally p'sed me off)Don't stand there and Smiley lie to me you little Smiley. Now walk your dumb Smiley back over there and clean up every bit of glass you broke. And while your at it, pick up all the trash.

He walks over, holding up his baggy pants because they're 3x too big, and proceeds to pick up the broken bottle. As he picks up the bottle I start talking to the other kid.

Me- Why would yall do that?

Kid- Do what?

Me- break the bottle.

Kid-I didn't break it.

Me-I start to bit my lip and say. No, you didn't break it. You just encouraged your friend to do it by laughing at him and egging him on.

The other kid finished cleaning up and walks back over to me to get his bicycle and I noticed he had cut his finger from picking up the glass. I say to myself, "serves him right!"

Both kids leave but acted like what they did was no big deal. Of course most everyone else at the store were all smiling and clapping.

I try not to get involved in crap not directly related with my duties unless I have to. I'll usually call for a marked patrol unit to handle the situation or do it in a way that won't draw attention to myself but this kid showed his ars off in a way that ticked me off.

Well done 8-)

Thats happening alot now days :-/ don't know anymore about these generations after generations coming up, just not impressed.

thats just ridiculous... >

i'd like to think they learned their lesson but something tells me they didn't............

Way to lay it down, big man. I Would love to have seen those little punks faces when you flipped the siren.

Way to go man. I would have insisted on buying you a cup of coffee or something after that. Well done.  

at least you have the power to do something about it. I would have paid money to see their faces when you flipped on your siren and lights.

How many LEO members do we actually have here?

Well Done. I agree you see to much of this type of behavior now a days. Whether its littering or destroying others property. It goes on way to much and its disgusting. >

btw, I just went to the Outer Banks a few weeks ago and there were guys repairing the staircases leading down from the dunes to the beach. We asked them what happened and they said a bunch of kids had been ripping apart the staircases. We looked down the beach and saw three or four staircases in a row that had missing support beams or were guard railings that were about to fall over...

This reminded me.....there was a handicapped ramp and dock built about 75ft out into one of the local ponds around me, it is great and it helps people in wheelchairs and also it is great for children to fish off. The dock was up for maybe a week before some kids ripped it apart and destroyed it. It has been fixed but it is just amazing how much people do not respect anything.

The OBX are becoming a little more crime ridden.  Over the last 10 years, I've noticed a steady upswing in vandalism, drugs, etc.

I don't even like to cross the causeway onto Roanoke Island after dark.  There are some areas in Manteo that are downright dangerous.

It is still a safe place, but the problems of the mainland are slowly spreading to the islands.

I come from a very rough town, Detroit, but we have noticed that Florida is worse in every aspect of crime.
