what the heck is with people ?
get a life and leave us alone…
Why you little disrespectful sumbitch. He’s lucky he’s not my boy. Really lucky.. no excuse for this. None whatsoever…
My grandpa would have blistered my ass for somethin this stupid…
Probably not when you were 21 though…
True that, by that age he taught me to fix his equipment and it’s value…
The actions are so juvenile his age never crossed my mind
It is hard to grasp that a 21-year-old would be that inconsiderate.
At 21, my parents still would’ve whooped my a## and then my older siblings.
I dont know…..my momis 86 and i wouldnt do that…..if she found out she would probably break a hip trying……
I didn’t get many spankings….but they left a lasting impression.
Let me guess… no job and bored to death. Throw the book at this idiot so us taxpayers can see our hard earned dollars at work ! Make him pay for the damage and his labor to restore the park is a freebie. May think twice next time if he has to break a sweat.
With that pretty face he’ll get his just punishment in jail.
It would be nice to see him sentenced to 500 hours of community service (plus a hefty fine) working to repair the damage.
Agreed I think crimes of this nature and nonviolent offenders should be put to work fixing this county’s infrastructure, I think it would also be a better deturrant than jail time where they can watch tv and sit around planning future crimes when they get out, months of hard work would also put them in a position to actually get a job too even if its digging ditches
Agreed, time to reflect on what he’d rather be doing.
It would be nice to see him mowing those fields with a push mower for the next few years and setting up for all the sporting events, way more than 500 hours tho
Hell with a push mower, how about a pair of fiskars?
A non powered mower at that, no gas engine just powered by “Armstrong”!!!!
Put him in a Pink Bunny suit and have him clean up trash around the park for 6 months on home detention so taxpayers don’t pay a dime for his meals or bedding. Sell his truck and give the proceeds to the park and if any is left over give it to charity. Take anything of value to him and have a hammer-thon at the park. $5.00 a swing with a twenty lb sledge hammer to any type of electronic device he has. Make him pay for what he has done to our park. Our town takes pride in making it nice so people can enjoy it with their families and the POS comes along and wrecks it for 20 minutes of “FUN”. [edit]
I hope he has to do the work to fix what He did. And have to pay for it,my kid would have to. And I’d watch him lol
Great comments and problem solving from everyone. We all need to run for office. LOL
I think amimissingsomething has the best punishment. A young man like him hates to have his ego blown away.
