Holy Hill Vandals Sentenced...

About 7 months ago, I wrote an post about two self-centered bung-holes who vandalized Holy Hill. In that post, I pointed out that this is exactly the type of monsters you get when society overly coddles people. That is, when society is too worried about a person's "self-esteem" and "feelings" rather then treating them the way that they deserve according to their actions and achievements (or lack thereof). These two finally got their sentences.

I think Tyler Groth got off a bit light. On the other hand, I was happy to see that David Groth received the maximum allowable sentence for this conviction. I still think the punishment is a tad light, especially considering what kind of a person he is, but at least he got all that the law will allow. And speaking of type type of person David Groth is, it is not hard to imagine why he is the way that he is when you hear his mom's reaction to the whole thing:

"David is basically a good kid who made some bad decisions and is rebellious. He's not very mature for his age," Donna Groth told Faragher.

Talk about coddling. David is not "basically a good kid". David is a self-centered, evil monster of a kid who thinks nothing of the value of other people and their belongings. Mrs. Groth should pay more attention to the judge, who notes:

Unlike Tyler Groth, who has no previous criminal record, David Groth has "a big record for a little guy," said Washington County Circuit Judge Patrick J. Faragher.

...

Faragher noted that David Groth had been in trouble several times before with juvenile court, giving him "an amazing record" of criminal activity.

Gee, I wonder why...
