He fails classes, back talks, slams doors...they maybe yell at him occasionally when they are fed up, but the rest is empty threats to take his phone away. Now they grow up thinking the world owes them entertainment with no consequence.
I feel like such an old woman ranting like this, but they need their butts beat!

Sneak attack, not much one can do to defend against being blind sided. Cowardly.
Being out dressed is only going to add to the perception of vulnerability.
I am waiting until some legally armed citizen uses their firearm in self defense. Going to ignite a sh** storm.
