My dad was a small town cop in the 60s. One night, the hellion son of one of the town's wealthier residents tied one on and boosted a car. Junior used the vehicle to take out all the mailboxes, fire hydrants, and dumpsters he could, before crashing the car thru a storefront.

Late that night, Junior's daddy showed up, laid a $100 bill on the desk, and asked my dad & his partner for the key to Junior's cell. After assuring Senior that Junior wouldn't be going anywhere, my dad & his partner agreed.

Senior let himself into the cell and beat the living snot out of his kid. They never had any more issues with Junior, after that.

If I had participated in an event of vandalism, going to jail would be the least of my problems.

My parents were my parents, not my friends. And bringing shame to the family name brouht on extra “chores” and strong discipline. Oh, things are not that way now and that's why these kids won't have to do any community service or anythings else.

I agree that your suggestion is a great idea! My father would have determined the damages and what it would take to fix it, and I would have to do “work off” that debt at home, and my father would have made me go to each house, and pay the damages, or under his watchful eyes, make the repairs and appology to the owner of the property. My father was old school and proud of it. My entire neighborhood mothers and fathers were the same, and you would get a swat on the buns on your way out the door, and the phone was ringing when you got home, if the rules had been broken.

fort wayne, Ind. (WANE) - “I lie, I steal, I sell drugs, I don’t follow the law. ” That’s the sign one 14-year-old was forced to wear out in public Tuesday. http://www.wlfi.com/dpps/news/indiana…

Stunningly, someone called the cops to complain.

This site has a nice selection of curbside mailboxes: http://www.mailboxes4less.com/curbsid…

Of the 10 displayed on the first page, the average price = $200 x the 29 they destroyed = $5800. I hope the judge isn't shy about imposing a 'worthless punk' fee over and above the restitution & court costs they'll have to pay. I'd love to see the final tally in the neighborhood of ten grand. Better hope Mickey D's is willing to hire reprobates to sling hash, you little a$$wipes.

No worse than when the son of a local prominent business owner got away with planting a homemade pipe bomb at the Homecoming Bonfire a couple years back.

What they did was wrong, no doubt about that. But lets face the reality. While I strongly agree that there should be some form of punishment, do we really need to suggest that they “get their asses kicked”? Kids make mistakes, and while this is a larger mistake than others that us teens tend to make, nobody needs to be getting their “asses kicked” or wearing signs saying, “I'm a Vandal.” Like I said, there should some punishments here, but lets not take it to an extreme, and I think the publicity is enough to make them not want to do it again.

And just because they made a stupid mistake, does not make them “worthless punks” or asswipes. So you make a mistake, who in this world hasn't done some stupid stuff. Regardless if this is a little worse than others, does NOT make them worthless punks.

Well, I suppose that is the difference between you and I's opinions. And thank you for the link, but I am quite aware of the mailboxes being governement property. Like I said, I do not think that this is something that “isn't a big deal” nor do I think they should get away with out a punishment. However, I think you're suggestions are a bit harsh, and your words, calling them punks and ass wipes are a little out of hand. Like I said though, that must be the difference between you and I's opinions. And we aren't the judge, or the DA so what do our opinions matter, anyway?

rodeo2012:

Credit where it's due: I'M the one who called them worthless punks and a$$wipes. And I stand by every syllable.

rodeo2012 (Anonymous) says…

Worthless is very extreme. I just want you to think about that….worthless. Let that sink in. Now think about someone calling you worthless….

I am almost positive Ranger520 that the only way you will see the inside of a court room is if you are looking up at the Judge hoping they aren't to harsh delving out your punishment for going off the deep end and assaulting someone.
Oops sorry there is that anger management training again.
