The worst part of it all:"The youths were released on Saturday evening on conditional bail pending further inquiries."

Wow, someone was really pissed off. It is so sad - but, at least they didn't take out their rage on little school children, with assault guns.

See? I knew you weren't enthralled with torturers and rapists. Time to change that tag
Iine to reflect who you really are.

Stewart is an avid HO'er. He works on scenery on his off time when he is on tour.

A true example of stupid, wanton, destruction....nothing but meanness. It is fantastic that the public is being so generous with donations, although money can't replace a lifetime of work, pride and enjoyment. I think we'll see more of this crap, before it goes away.

Might sound novel, but as part of their punishment, make them sit with the modelers and help in restoration. Might teach them a thing or two!

Nah.....I'm more for the flogging and then making them dig ditches for a few years.

I am with Martin. Jail time. Death penalty for shooting at school children or church/synagogue attendees. Maybe I am with Roy on the latter - torture them?

No - being a card-carrying liberal, I advocate a jail cell for life with no parole and no sex change surgery. A crummy jail cell.

So am I, but it ain't gonna happen, and my way might screw with their heads a bit.

Bob, with liberals like you, who the Hell needs Heinrich Himmler? :evil:

I don't know the story, except that no kid does this sort of thing for no reason. Like they said, a hurricane would've done far less damage. These kids took a very long time to deliberately hurt these model builders as much as possible. Where humans can't express their pain otherwise, they tend to turn to perpetration. Especially, kids. But, go ahead - give 'em thermonuclear weapons. See what it gets you. :evil:

No life terms, they cost the taxpayer way too much. A visit with "Old Sparky"; works better and is much, much better.

I always heard it was cheaper to incarcerate than to kill. We can't make execution cheaper, because of our way of looking at due process and the 8th amdt.

But these kids deserve incarceration and retraining.

I'm thinking now that not posting it all would have been best.....
