When i dropped my daughter off at school that day i honestly thought to myself, “Now thats a good senior prank, no one was hurt, nothing damaged, harmless fun” I am appalled that the school would take things this far. The police should spend there time on better things than a harmless prank.
Harmless prank? Maybe but getting the police involved makes sure everyone, participants as well as casual observers understands it is against the law!
They do need to be held accountable and forced to pay for the repairs and to suffer any fair consequences for their actions. However their dumb actions alone don’t make them bad kids. My father was quite the prankster at that age and got into some trouble. He is now a very well liked responsible, successful lawyer making about $300K a year. There is hope, boys.
Just read this .. if it weren’t Cosby kids painting the graffiti would there be the same thought of it being a ‘harmless prank’? Probably not .. They still need to take responsibility for their actions and pay damages regardless.
Speak softly, but carry a big can of paint!
