Will my neighbour ring the police on me for this

I know I know i'm terrible and deserve 25 to life, I'm an awful person, morally bankrupt. The heat has forced me to open all windows and all I have heard is people's shitty little dogs yapping all evening on and off. I just lost my temper, couldn't take it anymore and yelled out the window:

'take your dog inside before I take my rifle outside' and sure enough, the little shit stopped immediately.

Spare me the moral rant, I know I'm a bad person and I don't care, just wondering if I should expect a visit from the bobbies. And I have no rifle or any sort of criminal or even traffic background.

threatening a dog probably isnt a crime lmao

Oh... so the dog shut up when you threatened the rifle?
I thought you'd scared the dogs owner so they shut the dog up.

It's not in any way ok to threaten violence, obviously. Disgusting behaviour. The police probably won't care, unfortunately.

i know they wont thats why i did it

If the police turn up say you said Trifle and you were going to eat it outside on such a pleasant evening.

I live in a park. I swear to god the yapping will send me either to prison or an early grave. It starts here at 6:45am. The same. Dog. Yapping. Every single fucking day.

straight up anti social behaviour. I also have some idiot who zooms by on a motorbike that he has modified to be extremely lous at 6.55am and again at 11pm. he is so damn loud that i can hear him with enough time to put my shorts and shoes on and step into the road when hes coming just to mess with him. i do this whole 'deer in the headlights' routine. he goes twice the speed limit. i love messing with him and pretending like i have no idea what im doing

i wouldnt normally do or say something like that, this heat has just possessed me and my house is particularly good at retaining absurd amounts of heat

I remember being very hungover when I was about 19 and someone, somewhere was chainsawing the shit out of something. I lost it, opened my bedroom window and shouted “shut the fuck upppppp!” before retreating back to bed, I knew the chainsaw wielding irritant would never hear me over their noise but I just had to do it. I hear you on this episode.

You can't shout out of your window about rifles OP, it's kind of frowned upon.

I wouldn’t worry. I don’t think throwing your trifle in heat induced frustration is a criminal offence.
