In Texas it was once an honor to have your home TPed when you were in high school. My daughters took part in TPing the homes of football players and others many times over the years. It was like a spirit thing. Our home was TPed a few times too. The worst part is the clean up....especially if it rained. I never saw anything particularly harmful in the activity but I'm not a member of the current thought system in today's world...so what do I know?

It's not like they were covering the houses with bombs and machettes. It's toilet paper for goodness sake. It's even biodegradable so envirementalists can't complain.

Another post (yesterday) had this story, though it was lacking details contained in this post.

I think the key point for the case is the fact that the car was hit by gunfire. Was the car hit in the front (supporting the claim that the car was somehow running down the officer) or was it hit in the back (in which case the officer probably stepped outside the bounds of Texas law)?

Perhaps someone could post a link for those of us HTML-challenged?

"Off-duty officer shoots at teens 'TP wrapping' house"

Bet those TEENS wished they kept a few rolls for themselves after hearing that Shotgun Blast Twice, and hearing the rounds thunk into their truck!!!

My girlfriend's dad is a cop. One halloween he had a bit too much to drink, then handed his daughters a stack of TP and told them to go TP someone's house. That went ok, but some of his fellow officers were called later on when he decided to shoot the palm tree in his front yard.
