It's Watch!... Neighborhood Watch. Not shoot.

So what rises to your level where it's a problem?

 

$1.

Now ask me how much damage before it's a problem worthy of attention?

 

Oh noes!!!!!

When I was a high school senior, we TPed the school. A couple of morons lit some trash-can fires. I would guess we did about $300 damage in the late '80s.

It looks like a prank more than anything.

 

Hoodies. If they'd been wearing hoodies.

 

On a positive note, I believe at least some of them purchased candy bars for the troops.

 

It is always so entertaining to see the incredibly naive Hondo comment on youth.

 

No, you are a thug. Likely a gang-banger and one of "those people."

 

It's only a "prank" if your rich daddy can come and smooth things over.

 

Yes, and it's that kind of attitude that makes youth feel completely comfortable about rampaging through a public store because they know there will be no consequences.

 

What should the consequences be for causing $150 worth of damage? Repaying it? Detention? Arrest? Imprisonment?

 

100 kids, $150 damage -- take their lunch money.

 

Let's talk legalities here: regardless of the amount of damage, their actions were against the law. And is it naive to have an expectation that people will raise their kids not to go running through a story and doing damage of any amount --- when they're also skipping school in the process?

Let me ask some of you: what if you saw one of your kids in the video. Does that kid not get grounded, at the very least?
And if you blow if off, that's the problem with parenting in this day and age.
