The Vandal Awards

A few weeks back, I wrote that teen vandals had better hope the police catch them before the property owner does. Here's a case in point:

A father-of-five accused of mowing down a group of yobs after his tyres were slashed and car attacked with baseball bats was last night being held for attempted murder.

Neighbours said the man was so furious he got into a van, chased the four-strong gang of vandals down the road... and ploughed into them. A youth of 17 was left fighting for his life with serious head injuries after the incident. Two boys were only slightly hurt and one uninjured.

The most severely injured boy...was yesterday said to be in a stable condition, after being taken off a life support machine. A family friend claimed the youth had bleeding on the brain and said "everyone is just praying he'll be OK."

Not everyone.

In fact, I'm rather unhappy that he missed one of them completely. Sloppy driving.
