I'd imagine these teens will be doing a lot of burning eventually.
Spare the rod...
They mock christianity by this, and yet, they'll be in for a shock when Karma kicks their a**es.
Nuff said!
"Out of bordom". The kids need some serious community service time.
If it were the symbol for any other group this would be a "hate crime" and the MSM would be covering it 24/7.
Yah know dad, in my book "outstanding young kids" don't steal and commit sacrilegious acts for FUN!
He's a punk, pure and simple.
>>"Although Chris is sometimes misguided...<<
A "misguided" brat who needs an overdue ass spanking.
How sad, in this day and age, teenagers cannot find something constructive to do, apparently they were never taught "thou shalt not steal", "thou shalt not covet they neighbors goods", did I mention THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.
Noooo...perish the thought. Who would ever think that stealing 27 baby Jesus's with the intent to burn them would demonstrate any sort of bias?
"Michael has been hanging around with the wrong people," he said. "He goes to college. He's an outstanding young kid."
Certainly his behavior here demonstrates that.
< /sarcasm >
I wonder what would've been done if they had stolen Kwanzaa maize or some muslims' headscarves to burn...
"Olson said his son is unemployed and working toward resuming his high school education."
Can anyone explain how one, "works toward resuming" something?
Sounds like imminent denial to me.
How does that saying go about...
"Join the Army! See new places! Meet new people!"
Or was it the Navy?
At least two of the subjects should have had their parents assigning enough work at home that they didn't have the opportunity to be bored.
"Although Chris is sometimes misguided, this was not something we expected out of him," he said.
"We haven't whacked him on the backside in the past when he did things wrong, so he naturally expected he could do this without any kind of consequences."
"I hope my son and the others will come to grips with what they've done and make full restitution and get whatever help they need to get rid of those feelings," Olson said.
"We value how my son feels about himself more than we value his failure to live up to simple, basic responsibilities of society."
Olson said his son is unemployed and working toward resuming his high school education.
Olson's son will hopefully have plenty of time to work towards his high school GED while doing hard time for a hate crime that will never be called a hate crime.
Listen, kids: your pampered parents were probably raised without enough responsibilities at home, due to your grandparents working like dogs to provide them with a good life that they sucked up as if they had earned it themselves. For that matter, we have public libraries bursting with not just books (they are the flat things with the words in them, kids) but all other kinds of media paid for at my expense to entertain you, you miserable spoiled children, that you could have been enjoying. In a truly enlightened society, you would be serving a seven-year apprenticeship in a trade and every nickel you earned would be going to your parents as a thank you for providing you with a home and food.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
And this is definitely a hate crime! ;)
I like caning.
Take them down to the court house square, bend them over the cannon there , drop their pants and publicly hit them on the bare ass with a good stout piece of bamboo, split on the end. About 15 licks ought to make them remember how it feels and discourage them from doing it again.
Anybody ever see where that kid who got the caning for keying car doors ever got into trouble again?
Well then it would be a bias issue. You can dump on Christians and Christianity all day long and it's 'legitimate dissent', but if you perform the exact same act against some other religious denomination, it's 'intolerant' and a 'hate crime'.
If they had a blog
and a webcam, they could have
called it an event
and gotten a grant
for a performance art piece
commenting on Christ . . .
