Young Criminals


"What should we do tonight?" Asks moron number one. "I know what we should do says moron number two, lets go vandalize some stuff. Wow what a great way to start out your night. I really don't understand what the thinking behind this way of entertainment is. I don't get it at all. Now don't get me wrong I have no problem and I even enjoy my fair amount of mischievous activities, but I really don't understand the logic behind smashing pumpkins and stealing stuff out of peoples cars that you don't even know. I think that if you are gonna steal something you should at least steal something worth while. In the article I read the story went on to tell about three boys that spent their last Saturday night smashing pumpkins and stealing stuff out of peoples cars that ended up amounting to an amazing total of 80 dollars. What does this say about our town on Lincoln? Does it say that, that is all there is to do around here or does it mean that there are just some kids that are mislead. I think that no matter where you live you are always going to here people talk about that there is nothing to do in the town that they live. I believe that is the most ridiculous excuse for doing something like this that I have ever heard. You begin out your night just hanging out with some friends and in these guys case the next thing you know is you are being chased by cops and getting arrested. I really just don't understand the thought process of some people.

I agree with this post because I have personally experienced the vandalism of my property. I have, on a few occasions, had the pumpkins taken from my front yard and smashed to pieces in the street. My dad spends a lot of long hours caring for the pumpkins we grow in our backyard. The growing season starts inside and is finished outside near the middle of July. Watching my dad grow those pumpkins and seeing how happy he gets when they are given to my young cousins makes me happy. It broke my heart to see his hardwork smashed in the street because some careless, stupid teenagers were bored. If I ever found out who did that, I'd give them a piece of my mind.
