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 sounds like it wasn't the rolling of the house (that's what we called it in Michigan) that instigated the shooting, it was the kids putting on their high beams and driving directly at someone holding a shotgun. Not a very bright idea, under any circumstances.

I can hear the parent's now years down the road - 'Now don't you go TP'ing anyone's house this year, your third cousin removed was shot while doing that! Lost both his legs and went insane!' Ahhh I remember plenty of stories about uncle bob's and cousin fred's :)
