Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / October 2004Bring back the whip(OT)
In tonights paper theres an article on a gang of teenagers around metro Halifax that get their jollies by stealing cars and baiting the police to chase them.They consider it a "high"to have the cops chasing them,"just like a video game"and the "status"it gives them among their peers.Last week a 16 year old punk was running from the police in a stolen car and ran a red light,broadsiding a teacher on her way back to school from her lunch break.The womans dead.What really raised some eyebrows is this paticular kid has a slew of pending charges resulting from the fact that hes been caught driving stolen cars 20 TIMES SINCE JANUARY!!!He was just released from court 2 days before the fatal wreck,and apparently the judge didn't know about the outstanding warrants against him.Even his parents say he should be in custody as they can't control him.Somewhere this generation of parents has really lost it.Beat the crap outa a 16 year old(like would have been done by my father)and the kids got you up on charges.This is nuts.If some young punk ever runs a light and wrecks one of my Studebakers or my Harley,and Im physically able,he better hope the cops are there,he'll be needing them for protection. Glad to see that liberalism is alive 'n well up north!! BTW, I agree with you but nobody listens to me...

Pity he's retired. Gord Richmond I think they should give him a fair trail and then hang him.

From the KOMO-TV website, describing why a local school district isn't allowing halloween to be feted: "Puyallup School District spokesperson Karen Hansen says the superintendent made the decision for three primary reasons. First, Halloween parties and parades waste valuable classroom time. In addition some families can't afford costumes. It's the third reason some Puyallup parents are struggling with. The district says Halloween celebrations and children dressed in Halloween costumes might be offensive to real witches. "Witches with pointy noses and things like that are not respective symbols of the Wiccan religion and so we want to be respectful of that," said Hansen."

A good friend of mine's son,married a woman with a 15 year old from a previous marriage,in two short months he set fire to a laundry room at the parents apartment complex, (evicted in 30 days) arrested and charged with arson,endangering,etc. he was released into the parents custody,the very next week,he vandalzed cars and got caught driving a stolen car.again,the judge set a hearing date. So mom and stepdad rent a house and already the little F#$% is acting up again, tell me how long do you think the landlord is going to put up with this S$%^ ! My question first of all is where was the supervision in the first place?,sure both parents work,but are home at night when all of these things occurred. Charlie Sounds like a few months in jail might do this kid some good... if not, at least you know where he is. Lee > Yes indeed,and when a parent chooses to raise his/her hand to the kids > today [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Charlie I just read the articles in the Halifax newspapers... his response to having killed someone, "I hope it wasn't anyone in my car". There were three others in the car with him. I hope they impose no sentence, but announce to everyone when he will be released from the courthouse... with any luck he won't touch the bottom step alive.

Lee, Metal can always be replaced but a human life is gone forever, Charlie Exactly, he took a life after getting more chances than he deserved to correct his direction... he chose not to, so I don't feel one bit sorry for whatever happens to him. Live by the sword, die by the sword. At 16 years old, he knows the difference between right and wrong... I hope he's still thinking about that last wild ride when he's turning big rocks in to little rocks. Lee > Lee, > Metal can always be replaced but a human life is gone forever, > > Charlie Due to our stupid "young offender"laws,they can't even release his name. > I just read the articles in the Halifax newspapers... his response to having > killed someone, "I hope it wasn't anyone in my car".

All the restrictions then go away.

SignatureJT Just tooling through cyberspace in my ancient G4 I know a lady who was missing from the coffee shop for a while. Later, she explained that she had to go back to Winconsin to straighten out her fathers estate. He had been killed in an auto accident - not his fault. He was hit head-on by a drunk 18 year old. The kid had been caught drunk driving a couple of times and not stopped many more times. Ya see, the Sheriff was his dad. An Uncle was the local Judge. The deputy was urged not to follow up the case. I feel sorry for the deputy, my friend fathers family and friends. I don't feel sorry for the kids relatives - he was killed, too.
