The problem is police dont get there in time, secondly the environment agency are absoultly useless and 3, i was on night guard at my local fisherie, running around in the bushes fully camoflauged making sure ppl were up to no good, van pulled up with a big barrel in the back. i radio'ed through the the owner and said there is 3 people trying to steal our livestock, so he replied there is nothing we can do there is too many people, so i decided to walk towards them with a very short and thick guage piece of wood and told em to clear off.
they happily went

could have turned bad but ive taken some beatings im telling you
