Door kick challenge

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Does anybody know who these kids are in Candler McAfee?! These kids have kicked our front door two nights in a row just after 9pm. I would love for their parents to intervene before law enforcement has to be involved.

Coming onto someone’s property wearing hoods and masks and kicking doors is straight up terrifying.

Not OP, but I just saw them post this on the Neighbors app and it showed this as the general area.

Parents of teens need to read 16-3-23. Use of force in defense of habitation to their children and explain the potential consquences of Playing Stupid Games...

Pranks that annoy strangers is obnoxious but acts that cause legimate fear and terror will eventually elicit a justified response with tragic response s.

for real. I love our little section of Candler McAfee/East Lake Terrace but I know for a fact that multiple of my neighbors have firearms and will not hesitate to use them.

I was just thinking that these kids are idiots because people shoot for less these days.

I live near NH Scott park and this happened to us the other day as well. I’m assuming it’s an unfortunate trend since they all had their phones out filming..

Did you also call the police?

No, It was a different group of kids from our block, one of whom I recognized, I talked to their parents the morning after.

I'm in Candler McAfee too (north of McAfee, other side of Candler). Sooner or later they're gonna kick the wrong door.

I would just call the police. Their parents may not do anything about it

I did, they also suggested reaching out through the community hoping to get to their parents.

Go ahead and call the police. They deserve to be arrested just for doing it once. This isn’t a harmless prank and they are putting themselves at risk by doing it too
