Warped culture
How can this be fun? What kind of minds consider these kinds of acts innocent pranks? If they are caught (and I sure hope they are) they probably will just get a slap on the wrist or community service. When they are adults their records will be expunged. Does that mean their destructive attitudes have changed? How pitiful their lives must be if they need to get their kicks from this kind of vandalism. Could they be your neighbors kids or grow up to be your neighbors? You may never know who is in your neighborhood. Vandals, murderers, thieves, lawyers, good folks or who knows?
Contrast that to any number of situations. Like some guy who has to relieve himself by the side of the road. He gets arrested for indecent exposure even if he is hidden behind a bush. He is branded for life as a sexual offender. His picture, home and work addresses posted on the internet forever. Do we need to be protected from that guy or from the vandals and other wrong doers?
Respect for property and for others is something that seems to be declining in our culture. What will it be like for future generations?
