Can I forgive if I'm angry ...or do I calmly take the proper steps, while forgiving?

How many times do I let the neighbor's dog poop in my yard?   I may not want to put up a fence in my front yard.  How long do I tolerate rocks being thrown through my window by the neighborhood teens (or just plain hoods)?   How tolerant am I to the threats to my children?   I know I'm asked to forgive seventy times seven, but some actions need to stop now!   We do have laws to curb such things from happening ...and I'm thankful for that.   But there are those who believe the laws should change.
