Our (former) home was vacant because we moved away and sold the home last week. This is not about politics, this is about children and young adults having no respect for the world and people around them. I’m fairly certain every person in the house knew that they didn’t belong there…hehehe it’s so fun to screw up someone else’s property, isn’t it? No, I don’t own the house now…but having had it recently as my home, I really feel violated by this.
Freak1 and ristinks are right. If Bush were still President, the home would not have been vacant. The owners would still be employed and still living there.
Obama: Bad for the economy, Bad for our kids.
My husband and I owned this home until last week. We are both saddened and disgusted to hear that this took place in a home where we raised children and have such fond memories. We thank neighbors for calling the police and we hope that the parents of the young adults involved take seriously the nature of underage drinking. This shows such a lack of respect for others, in so many regards, that I have no words.
Freak1 is right….this never would have happened under George W.. 27 kids drinking in a vacant home….I believe that’s called a bunch of hobos!!
These hobos need a BAILOUT..and a six-pack each.
This stuff wouldn’t be happening if Bush was still president.
I think Obama needs to throw a couple billion at this problem also.
I agree with Semi Arffi, do one of the two…
Evidently the bus going to the beach in Barrinton broke down.
Good job, hope to see more stories like this. Keep up the good work!
Drinking age should be 18! Anything else is age discrimination. If you’re against lowering it, then raise the age of adult to 21. You can’t have it both ways.
