Hummer hate in local paper...

[f5fstop]

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.

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

There are some worthless individuals out there with no respect for anything. I personally cannot understand where it comes from. I feel very bad for anyone who has encounter vandalism with their Hummer. My experience was a big dent in my door panel, which is still there, but thankfully it has never gone beyond that.

It's cool they interviewed Dave for this article. He's a really cool guy, and quite well spoken. I think his points are valid too, about the other things he does for the environment, and how he doesn't get credit for them. I use fluorescent blubs, buy organic foods, and try to do what I can for the environment. It's amazing how many "tree-huggers" don't do anything for the environment other than bitch and destroy things, yet we are instantly discredited.
