BTW, the parents threatened him for posting names of their kids!

A former NFL player’s home was broken into and thoroughly trashed by teenagers in upstate New York over Labor Day weekend.
Brian Holloway, a three time all-pro lineman for the New England Patriots, arrived to his second home in Stephentown on Tuesday to find it covered in urine, graffiti and empty cups and booze bottles.
While he and his family were in Florida, the area high schoolers broke into the $1.5 million house and then with the help of Twitter quickly attracted hundreds of their peers from miles around.
Now Holloway, himself a father of 8, has used the same social media methods to gather 100 of the kids’ names and posted their Twitter messages and photos to a site called HelpMeSave300.
‘So my apologies, I don’t really know what else to do,’ writes Holloway on HelpMeSave300.com. ‘ It’s been quite a gut shot dealing with all of this. I guess I’m still in shock.’
Holloway decided to channel the shock into action.
‘But I want to aside the very strong emotions I’m feeling and focus on the one thing that is extremely clear the lives of these 300 students. I want them to live. I’ve seen too many young people die because of excessing partying, drugs and alcohol.’

It should not be hard to ID those punks. Lots of pictures. If I owned that house I would wreck their worlds.
The parents are probably talking to their lawyers right now over suing the property owner.
Sue every one of their parents to pay for the damages...once the threats of lawsuits began...he will get names of everyone there
Yeah, they threatened him for posting the kids names! How is that for 'doing something'?!
I wouldn't be able to sit down for weeks and never see the outside my house unless it was working for a year if my parents had EVER caught me doing anything like this...or even a fraction of something like this!
I would FIRST be cleaning up the mess and then they would have beat the crap out of me. And no, I wasn't abused (I thought then I was). I'm thankful now that I had parents who actually disciplined me.
That would not surprise me in the least!
And therein lies the problem.
If my picture had shown up under those circumstances, I would have been grounded. For months.
My daughter is well past the teen years, but if her picture had shown up in this context during that time, the same thing would have happened to her.
The parents should be calling their kids on the carpet, and asking them what they are going to do to pay restitution to the homeowner.
How did he know where to go to find the Twitter feed and Facebook pages? Can one search by area and date?
Same here. I would have been dragged to the house, made to say sorry made to clean it up, and then whacked and grounded.
White Punks on Dope.
Close to New England, but this occurred in New York. Thanks.
Did the homeowner not have an alarm system installed with direct connection to the police?
Not very smart.
And salvaging a bit of dignity from an otherwise loathsome incident, there's this :
Several teens who weren’t at the party but heard about it showed up this week and helped remove . . .
Dude, you're an All-Pro NFL player for crying out loud. What do you think you should do?
"Get your out there and start kicking some ass!"
The only reasonable response to those threats would be: "The kids posted their own names you dumb@$$. Either be a responsible parent and deal with it, or start saving money for the inevitible bail bonds, hospital bills, or funeral expenses your little darlings will cost you in the not too distant future."
Tubes fan?
No, they just talk and text as if they are.
I wonder why race is the first thing that people think about?
God, I hope so . . . if white kids did it, then it would be ok.
Typical New Englanders, kids and parents alike.
