Teenagers throw eggs at Memorial Day parade

[salinen]

Two 13 year old boys were arrested for this incident in which the eggs missed their intended targets by 10 feet. If it were up to me, they'd be forced to clean up the mess. Not so in freeperville. Some gems.

The parents are just as much to blame for not teaching them some respect....
They should make them join the military, as punishment....It might just teach them the values that their parents failed to instill in them.

I think a few months of boot camp is just what those little punks need.
That and a sound Cat O’ Nine Tails public whipping for their parents.

Let them pack their shit and move to Canada or Mexico then.

I’d like to know which teacher or parents taught these kids to hate. They should be included in on the punishment.

The judge should give them a choice...jail or the USMC.

There are plenty of former military in juvenile boot camps to straighten these little punk asses out. I think they should do 6 -12 months in one.

2. "I’d like to know which teacher or parents taught these kids to hate."

4. I would be suprised if it were meant as any kind of statement about the war or military at all

probably just kids trying to stir up some shit, so they picked a very public event, to prove how cool they are.

Not sure about the appropriate punishment... A lot of interesting possilibites.

Make them volunteer at a VA hospital?

Now I'm 50 and my arm hurts when I throw anything.

7. "Jail or the USMC" for an egg-throwing 13-year-old?

No, they're not punishment-obsessed over there.

8. Missed by 10 feet? They aren't heading for the big leagues and should stick to blowing up frogs.

I'm shocked that 13 year olds would do silly shit. They're normally so thoughtful and responsible in their behavior...if well shackled.

9. But who where the intended targets? n/t

10. So what!!!

I was a punk, did that same kinda shit. Now, I got a Master's degree and a good job. No punishment will work speaking from experience. Just fucking ground em. Take away their tv, video games, time with friends etc. Anything else in vindictive and way over the top.

11. Well, they do sound like disrespectful little jerks....

but, appropriate consequences would involve having their parents suspend some privileges (cell phone, computer use, tv, and ground them), impose some real limits and actually stick to enforcing the consequences until the brats show signs of understanding that they are expected to control their impulses and aren't the center of the universe.

This is what I would do if I found out that my kids were throwing eggs at ANYONE.
