You have inside info that this police captain doesn’t have?

Just curious.

Where I come from, "stupid kid thing[s]" don't include running around the neighbourhood burning folks' American Flags.

Hence, I characterise that "police captain's" comments as bullcrap.

The police captain has a community to live with and enough bad publicity for the immediate future. He has to be PC enough to avoid 'making the situation worse'....none of us has that particular problem and darn few of us think the kids were 'just having fun doing something stupid' or whtever alibi the locals dream up.

See post immeditely following yours for example.

The word "Bullcrap" was, in my opinion, appropriate.

I have a question though. Where were the parents of these kids at day one? Many of us manage to keep our kids in line and out of trouble in spite of attempted government and government school interference. And, along the way, we manage to imbue them with the knowledge that the rights and property of others are not to be violated and that their feelings always deserve consideration.
