How anyone can be mad because a woman is driving an SUV is beyond me. Streep and these two yahoos in Texas are so misguided and incredibly stupid and uninformed, it truly amazes me. You'll find, however, that most of the hollywood types who bitch about SUVs own at least one themselves.

As for these teen perps, throw the book at them. See how arrogant they are after spending just one week in a state prison.

Somehow I knew they'd be pierced.

They look exactly as I pictured them in my mind, minus the little orange wool caps that I threw on their heads just for grins...

Garofano told deputies she particularly resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity.

She's fairly presentable on the video clip. I think she should be sentenced to getting a job and donating her surplus income to charity. Forever.

The prison showers are going to be a real education for these young adults eco-terrorists

They will get no prison time. After all, they're just 'children' who are trying to do the 'right thing'. And, like ELF loves to claim, 'no one was hurt' as a result of these 'actions'.

Teens, right.

I know what I'd do for punishment. Hard labor, ALL paychecks into a fund to pay in full for the damaged vehicles.

Teens my behind.

Well, you know what you can do to those awful SUVs.

They make little magnetic "bullet holes" that stick on, and look exactly like someone just shot up your vehicle.

AND, they also make little stick-ons that look like someone just shot out your windows!

And, later, after the owner's initial shock, they all peel off without leaving a mark at all!

I bet, if you put those all over someone's SUV, you would make exactly the same point!

And, I bet that after THAT, it would be very difficult to make the vandalism charges "stick"!

It appears the public school system is doing a good job indoctrinating the young folks into the ultra-liberal mindset. Hopefully these kids will grow up and recognize the errors of their youth.

These guys missed their calling, they should be working for Houston's Metro light rail. They could get to run over SUV's and get paid for it.

Hopefully they will discover that Texas prisons are not so decadent and will appreciate that.

Aw c'mon... They're just a bunch of silly kids. Let's not be too hard on them. I hope that they don't get any jail time from an overly hard judge. They should be released and allowed to go on with their lives.

Spoken like a good little Socialist

Yeah, our education dollars at work, folks.

Wanna bet these 'teens' come from affluent families. Families who supply them with all the frills of affluence and all their wants - except maybe attention and direction. And these 'teens' have no problems accepting the material goods supplied by their families. Let them put their money where their mouths are - oh wait, are any of them actually earning their own money and living within those means?? Are they urging their families to do the same or donating their own surplus to charities? Not bloody likely.

...resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity.

Maybe their time would be better spent volunteering at one of these charities or working and donating their own money to a charity or both. I would make sure that is part of their sentence.

Why is someone who drives an SUV, ipso facto "arrogant"? Isn't she who assumes the right to tell us all what means of transportation we should use, the "arrogant" one? Who gave Ms.Garafano the power to appoint herself the leader of the transportation police? How does she know that those who drive such vehicles are not already donating significant sums to charity? She doesn't. It's simply presumption on her part.

As with most socialists, a lack of respect for the property and possessions of others is never far from the surface.

Precinct 4 deputy constables said the group, led by Randall W. Heinrichs, 18, smashed windows and slashed tires on SUVs in north Harris County from October through December.

They need to castrate that boy so he won't further pollute the gene pool.

"I prefer public whipping followed by restitution."

Better would be 72 consecutive hours in the stocks behind the courthouse followed by restitution. Nights in the stocks are the worst. LOL.
