the other day i heard a bunch of neighborhood kids causing a ruckus and throwing rocks in this fenced in area where maintenance equipment is kept. i went over to investigate and they said that there was a raccoon in there and it was trying to attack them. they had it trapped and from what i saw, it was hiding because it was being attacked. anyway, i told the kids to stop throwing the rocks because the raccoon was scared and it wasnt going to hurt them if they just left it alone. plus i didnt want them breaking anything in there. a few of them stopped and a few looked at me with the "fuck you, youre not my dad" look before launching a few more rocks before they moved on to throwing rocks on top of car ports which i had to yell at them for as well. anyway, i was driving past one of the dumpsters last night right by where the kids had the raccoon cornered the night before and i saw the raccoon and he had a messed up hind leg and was hobbling around trying to look for food. i have no way of knowing that the kids hurt the raccoon or not, but it really bummed me out knowing that they could have. yes, raccoons can be dicks sometimes, but that doesnt mean its fine to chase them down and pelt them with rocks. kids fucking suck sometimes. i hope comes back and bites one of the little pricks and gives them rabies.
