Four girls went "gallon smashing" at the Shaw's in Salem in Monday. How do you rate this in the annals of stupid teen pranks? (with video--which was not filmed at that market)
In an evolutionary sense, we owe a lot to the adolescents of the species. The unnecessary risks they take helped our ancestors learn important lessons — like which plants were poisonous.
But Monday in Salem there was an example of juvenile behavior for which I'm hard pressed to see the advantage.
"Gallon smashing" is, well, just take a look at the YouTube video attached to this post.
People go into supermarkets and film themselves pretending to fall while smashing one or two gallons of milk.
On Monday, Salem police responded to a "gallon smashing incident" at Shaw's. You can get the details from Salem Patch.
This left me wondering where, on the scale of teen stupidity, this new trend rates. I suppose it's safer than swerving your car on purpose to make oncoming drivers get out of the way or obscuring a stop sign on purpose and causing a fatal wreck.
But it's more dangerous than my favorite prank as a teen: Fireworking teachers' houses.
How do you rate "gallon smashing" among teen pranks?
sounds like theft, at least, if hey don’t pay for it
I’d make the little pukes lick it up off the floor,....glass shards and all! Crime is Crime! In my world anyone caught doing graffiti would get an automatic 10 years first offense - no parole. Second offense, LIFE. No parole! Want to guess how fast graffiti would stop?
That’s got to be one of the most stupid “trends” I’ve ever seen. Really?!
“Do they prosecute “flash robs?”
Flash “Mobs”, not Flash “robs’ - insinuations of Urban Ferals exercising their 1st Amendment right is, Is, IS - - - Dat be Wasist!
If I were the owner/manager I’d file criminal vandalism charges and refuse to drop them and get restraining orders preventing them and their parents and siblings from ever entering the store again.
Then I say you are part of the problem.....2 or 3 examples would curtail the ‘trend’.
Truancy from school (theft of your neighbors’ taxes) should be a capital offense in my estimation.
You don’t want to know how odious I think drunk driving is....
Or possibly Utes. If in SW Colorado.
No it isn't, you lunatic!
