Hummer hate in local paper...

[wannabeH3]

i think it has to do a lot with jealousy

[Nav4-NEOCON1]

And one more thing Boar, instead of "community service", how about letting them work at the place that's fixing them? Like yours got hit, and if you caught the guy and didn't like totally mutilate him, make him work at the shop for free to put your ride back right, and make him detail it from the top of the top to the freakin wheel weights. I'd babysit with a baseball bat and make sure they do it right. Make them work it off. I'm tired of this crap of criminals just sitting around (need a new thread about this one) doing nothing or the dang parents pay up. Yes, it does come down to parenting, I agree. If I even had a thought, or got messed up with "those kind of people", my Dad would have kicked my butt, with a lecture too. When Daddy said no, you just didn't do it.

Want to hear something really ridiculous from this Liberal Arse state I live in. If it is a kid, the court will seal the record, after they slap their little paws, and then you cannot obtain the parents name and address to sue them for deductibles or actual damages. Talk about a crock of Sh*t. I just heard this last week on the local news.
So, the kids get off with hardly any punishment, and mom and dad don't have to pay the bill.
I tell you what, I had my tires slashed (wasn't a Hummer hate, they were equal opportunity slashers), but if I confronted someone at 4:33 in the AM, and they had a knife and walked toward me, well....it was self-defense officer. (And yes, any alarms go off this guy is going outside with the SIG in hand.)
I'll be able to get their address from the obituaries, in two days.

That sounds about right.* No one wants anyone to be responsible anymore.* At least not for something where responsibility is sorely lacking.* Yet if you or I commit a traffic violation or something else by accident, you know that they'll be all over us.* But if someone knowlingly goes out to destroy others' property, suddenly the people doing the vandalism are the victim, and their rights need to be respected.* What a load.

They don't want parents to be responsible for their children, that's bull****.

As I said earlier, if they come at me, or even appear to come at me (less than 21 feet) with a knife, I wlll plant two in the chest, and one in the head, in complete self-defense. If the parents don't want to be responsible, then let them pay for the funeral.
My kids were raised with the thought you do something wrong, and Dad will be furious. You will pay for your actions, if that meant jail, then so be it. I was lucky, all grew up to be great adults.

[dеiтайожни]

Agreed, I think that is what it's going to take for some parents to learn to be responsible.

That would be great, except I do not know if some of these people could handle doing bodywork.* It might require too much skill.* Even with a baseball bat in hand, I'm not sure if I would trust them to do a decent job.* It is a good idea, though!

I think a lot of it has to do the the military connection Hummers have.
You would have a hard time finding too many pro-military, anti-hummer individuals.

(btw, Dennis, take a flying leap)

I am sure that is it, the H3's look so much like a military Hummer...

Jealousy might make a lot more sense than being concerned about the environment, given what is involved to repaint a vehicle after it is keyed or to build a new one after it is destroyed.

[FutureBeachBum]

Dennis,
You obviously flunked Reading and Comprehension.
I never said the H3 looked like a military Hummer, just that there was a connection.

con*nec*tion [kuh-nek-shuhn]
A relationship in which a person, thing or idea is linked or associated with something else

[Dennis Lorenz]

Mr. BUM,

You are quite right, there is a connection. The name, and that is where the story ends...

The guy who got caught slashing the H1's tires was almost 50. His son and him were drinking (imagine that) and he went out and slashed the tires one at a time. Naturally, one of the resort workers saw him slash one and called the cops. He bailed out of jail and told everybody he was just "playing a prank". I so wanted to hurt the guy!!

I think if some of these greenies got their REI special pocket knives, personally boot stomped into their anus, then I think they might get the point literally
Sorry officer I was just playing a prank back
