Reply to comment by DontBeEvil1 in Locked myself out by HumanBoot4428

Nope, I guess I'm not as smart as you think I am. The OP said they locked themselves out. To me that always means that they pulled the door closed with the latch set to lock, while not in possession of their keys. If it's more complicated than that you're going to have to explain it to me instead of blowing smoke.

You guys must be new in town, this was an everyday occurrence in the 2000s and 90s in JC. Packs of teens going out and assaulting people for shits and giggles. Both of you are lucky it didn't end up worse, I can recall at least one such occurrence within the last decade where an older man was knocked out by a group of teens and he fell on one of those steel fence decorative spikes and died, some real final destination type ****. The biggest problem in JC was always the packs of teens going out to commit chaos.

>They're at the age where you can't legally retaliate

I sincerely don't understand that. If a bunch of thugs attack you, how comes you don't have legal rights to retaliate to defend yourself? Why there age matter, especially if you can't say if they are 17 or already 18? Hell, even if you know for a fact they are 16? They still can damage, rape or kill you.

I think what you are saying is misinformation. Can you quote a law?
