Yep. As fate would have it, I was just talking to my brother on the phone telling him about all this and he came up with what I thought was a pretty good idea. Since it's apparent that these assholes need to be taught that they're not in fact untouchable or invulnerable, just lie in wait in an elevated hide near one of these people's homes and, when they come home from work, put two rounds into the front-door frame just as they're putting the key into the lock. That oughta do it.
As I've said so many times, our "public servants" at every level have lost all sense of fear of the people they're abusing. That fear needs to be re-instilled in them, with a quickness.
