Garofano told deputies she particularly resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity.

Spoken like a good little Socialist. Let's see how far that little rant will get her with a Texas judge.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Let's start burning expensive houses and erect tents. The surplus money could be sent to Conspiracy Guy PO Box 251 Birmingham, Alabama 35209.

I can't believe that bail was set at $5000 for these terrorists. It should be at least five hundred thousand. They should be sentenced to ten years for each act of terrorism.

[Rebelbase]

The prison showers are going to be a real education for these young adults eco-terrorists.

[CSM]

"including Nazi swastikas, on the vehicles."

No doubt inspired by the same groups calling GWB a nazi!

Bump for more examples of people trying to force their preferances on the rest of society!

[Wolfie]

Has a nice ring to it: the new Ford Decadence.

[Kenton]

I sure am glad I have a decadent SUV, or I'd never make it through the northeast Ohio winter. I had it in 4WD all the way to work this morning.

[SolutionsOnly]

This will be another test of the legal system. Anything less than a very severe sentence will represent another failure of the judicial system.

Do I sound like I'm losing faith in the system? Well, I am.

[SBprone]

Want to make a Texas judge really angry? Try committing serial acts of vandalism while serving probation for a felony associated with flag burning.

The kid who was on probation will now get to serve a jail sentence. The other kids may have caught a break because when they visit their friend they will get the first-hand lowdown on jail life, without having to serve time themselves. I'll bet they hated it when their attorney told the judge "they have no prior offences your honor."

The one who violated his probation is SOL.

[correctthought]

She needs to be vandalized with a crow bar. At the very least, a good Singapore caning is in order.

[pepperdog]

They get their ideas from people like many of those in the Hollywood community. I specifically remember hearing a rant by Meryl Streep on how people didn't NEED big SUVs and how it angered her to see women driving the big things on errands. I was so surprised that she would bother to notice what the "commoners" drove.

Garofano told deputies she particularly resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity.

She's fairly presentable on the video clip. I think she should be sentenced to getting a job and donating her surplus income to charity. Forever.

[RonHolzwarth]

Well, you know what you can do to those awful SUVs.

They make little magnetic "bullet holes" that stick on, and look exactly like someone just shot up your vehicle.

AND, they also make little stick-ons that look like someone just shot out your windows!

And, later, after the owner's initial shock, they all peel off without leaving a mark at all!

I bet, if you put those all over someone's SUV, you would make exactly the same point!

And, I bet that after THAT, it would be very difficult to make the vandalism charges "stick"!

[38special]

It appears the public school system is doing a good job indoctrinating the young folks into the ultra-liberal mindset. Hopefully these kids will grow up and recognize the errors of their youth.

[RiflemanSharpe]

These guys missed their calling, they should be working for Houston's Metro light rail. They could get to run over SUV's and get paid for it.

Hopefully they will discover that Texas prisons are not so decadent and will appreciate that.

[Redcloak]

Aw c'mon... They're just a bunch of silly kids. Let's not be too hard on them. I hope that they don't get any jail time from an overly hard judge. They should be released and allowed to go on with their lives.

...after being dragged for a few miles behind a Hummer.

Yeah, our education dollars at work, folks.

Wanna bet these 'teens' come from affluent families. Families who supply them with all the frills of affluence and all their wants - except maybe attention and direction. And these 'teens' have no problems accepting the material goods supplied by their families. Let them put their money where their mouths are - oh wait, are any of them actually earning their own money and living within those means?? Are they urging their families to do the same or donating their own surplus to charities? Not bloody likely.

...resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity.

Maybe their time would be better spent volunteering at one of these charities or working and donating their own money to a charity or both. I would make sure that is part of their sentence.

[marshmallow]

Garofano told deputies she particularly resented "arrogant ladies" who drive expensive SUVs instead of buying more economical cars and donating the surplus money to charity.

Why is someone who drives an SUV, ipso facto "arrogant"? Isn't she who assumes the right to tell us all what means of transportation we should use, the "arrogant" one? Who gave Ms.Garafano the power to appoint herself the leader of the transportation police? How does she know that those who drive such vehicles are not already donating significant sums to charity? She doesn't. It's simply presumption on her part.

As with most socialists, a lack of respect for the property and possessions of others is never far from the surface.

[night reader]

Precinct 4 deputy constables said the group, led by Randall W. Heinrichs, 18, smashed windows and slashed tires on SUVs in north Harris County from October through December.

They need to castrate that boy so he won't further pollute the gene pool.
