I just can't agree. If they managed to track the building down then they must have, somewhere along the way, figured that "Hey, you know who usually lives in houses in suburbs? People."awesomeClaw said:Give people the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they didn't know the house actually had owners who lived there? Or they didn't know it happend as often as it did.Seraj33 said:Really though. They actually committed a crime. It is called vandalization of property.

Sure, it's stupid and annoying for the family who lives there - but it's not the huge issue some in this thread are making it out to be. I'm sure those who threw the pizzas didn't know it happend so often, and I'm equally sure they'll stop now that they know it's disturbing the owners.
Give them a break.
It is diferent when it is something generally accepted such as kids tossing shit during halloween. These however are grown people vandalizing someone elses property because of a damn tv show.
If I lived in that house I'd be furious.
I will not give them a break.
People sometimes do stupid things because they think it might be funny. I agree, this is bad. But it's not swatting, and it's not breaking a window.
They put a piece of food on a roof, as a joke. Dumb? Yes. Worthy of getting outraged over? No.
And how do you know they're grown people? They might be 15 for all you know.
We all get more upset than we need to get sometimes, I feel you.Seraj33 said:I just can't agree.

Sure it is not a broken window or something like that and I am probably getting more upset than I should, imagining myself in the owners place. But I still really can't sympathize with them. Stupid behaviour like that shouldn't be so easily excused, in my opinion.
And I asume they are mostly grown people as teenagers don't have the same means of transportation as... although the drivers license age limit is 16 in USA isn't it? Nevermind then.
Exactly. My mother told me when I was younger that "It begins with a little needle and ends with a silver plate."awesomeClaw said:We all get more upset than we need to get sometimes, I feel you.
And as I think it over, I suppose you do have a point. Apoligizing for petty crimes will only encourage petty criminals. And we don't want that.
Yes it is, Other Barry. Yes it is.ccggenius12 said:Jeeze, do these random jerks WANT that family to have ants? Because this is how you get ants.
its heart warming that you think they ever realized that to begin with.lacktheknack said:People are absolute idiots.
At what point did they stop realizing that an act of vandalism is an act of vandalism because they saw it on TV? Is this not exactly what we DON'T want, people conflating entertainment with reality? Ugh.
