Some teenagers broke into a vacant property on my block and were destroying the place. They broke all the windows were running around and smashing holes in the wall. I feel bad because acab but I didn't know what to do. I don't particularly want kids destroying my block and I talked to my neighbor who lived next door and he seemed legit scared about the situation. I don't feel like confronting them would have been safe since it would have been many of them and one of me.
Could I have done something different?
Update I don't even know if the police ended up coming but it quieted down within 10 minutes of my call. A couple cars were broken into and one was stolen.
Windows and walls are inanimate objects, chill, let the kids have some fun. The conflation of these kinds of actions with "violence" is essential to the functioning of police enforcing capitalist property relations
There is a serious lack of housing in virtually every western country, smashing property has no relationship to capitalist property relations.
OP, you should feel bad for not capturing these children and re-educating them as soldiers for the class war
If anything they helped lower rents in the area :07:
