Had a drunk dude run into my garage a few weeks back. He was covered in blood because he had just been in a fight and was fleeing.
He stumbled into my garage, putting blood on the gate and door (door should have been locked, but my MIL sometimes forgets.
I of course grabbed a mallet from the toolbox after hearing crashing in the garage and seeing a dark figure opening the door swiftly on the camera. Wife was already calling the cops, but as soon as I opened the door I could tell the dude was just drunk and couldn't stand properly. He was crying and lost. I tried to talk to him (putting down the mallet of course), but he ran back out the door, stumbling through my bush and off into the street somewhere. He apparently tried to get into the neighbors yard too, damaging their gate.
He came back like 2 days later to apologise lol.
In America he probably would have been shot.
