...deal with this situation? i have an alsation dog but i dont let him outside the front of the house unattended
Hi i am 28 years old and for the past 2 weeks there have been troublemakers hanging outside my home at night drinking and being loud and i had no problem with that at first i just ignored it ,but now they have started banging on my windows and calling me names through the window and its becoming annoying and a bit intimidating.
I have phoned the police but when they come the gang is gone ..so anyway im thinking should i take up a martial art that is street orientated and learn how to deal with punks like this ?

any helpful answers apprieciated guys .ty
 
I'd take up some martial art just for self defense, it never hurts to learn it.

As far as your noisy neighbors,
1. I'd try to quietly install a surveillance camera
2. Call the police just as soon as they gather around
3. Consider moving
 
I'd look at city and state statutes, see what your rights are as a home owner, and what you can do to people who are on your lawn, doing whatever. Use to be if someone was on your lawn, you could shoot em. That ain't the case anymore.

I'd give the police another try. But i'd say, unless they actually break into your home, don't escalate the situation. Most people here will tell you to fight. But you said there are multiple guys. They won't hesitate for a second to gang up on you and beat you to death if you start shit with one member. You won't win in a fist fight, even if you have a good MA history.

Good luck
 
no matter how skilled you become or are you don't want to try and fight a gang of people. Best way to deal with this is to sneakily call the cops, and tell the cops to not be obvious upon their arrival, (no sirens, lights, ect) and catch the gang in the act. But trying an aggressive approach to dealing with this gang is the wrong way to go at it unless you absolutely have to, otherwise you may endanger your life, and the life of your family.

Try looking into Krav Maga, or some form of reality self defense styles. (krav maga, hagannah, systema, kapapp). Hope this helps. and good luck with solving your problem.
 
Punks like this only fight in a group and prey on the weak. Like everyone says don't try and fight them, confront perhaps but at ur own risk. Krav Maga or other combat martial art is the way to go, like Sambo and Jeet Kun Do. Or get a gun, in case these guys try sumthin funny.
 
Video tape it with clear shots of their faces and submit it to the police. If they do nothing (which would be hard to believe) then contact a Lawyer, have a restraining order placed on them and that forces the police to arrest them if they come around again...next file a civil suit against them for damaging your property and trespassing.
 
You don't want to go and mess with a gang, no matter how much martial arts you take. You are going to need to phone the police earlier, or maby get a big guard dog and chain him to your lawn.
 
No martial arts trick fix will help you at this point.

Do you really think you can take a couple classes and have the ability to defend yourself against multiple attackers?

You need to continue to call the police. Have them drive through more frequently. Video tape them if possible. Use that for evidence.
 
Gangs used to be a problem where I live. That is not a can of worms you want to open. Even if they are not a legit gang, they will bring friends.

Buy guns. Learn to use them. Try not to use them.
