Cugalabanza Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I bet Leodis just wanted those brats to sweat it out for a while. Then let 'em off the hook, but with the understanding of how lucky they are. I know that's how I would have played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endzone Animal Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Sound about right. Honestly, when I was growing up if I would have been caught doing something stupid like this I would have been happy to have the police involved rather than my parents. In 1983, when I was 16, I would have been brought over to the house to apologize and plead for his forgiveness, offered to clean and pay for any damages, vowed to never, ever do something like that again, and then gone home to face the music - which would not have been pretty, I assure you.

Yeh, I remember something like that except my middle brother got caught and he had to face the music. Not sure that I ever vandalized anything??? Can't remember....

Sounds exactly how it would have gone down in my house too. The next several Saturdays would've been spent mowing his lawn for free until every spec of that paint was gone. And probably trimming his hedges and weeding his garden too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yeh, I remember something like that except my middle brother got caught and he had to face the music. Not sure that I ever vandalized anything??? Can't remember.... My younger brother got caught tresspassing (watching the planes land at Buffalo Airport - from the end of the runway) when he was about 16. My parents never scolded him or punished him for it...they let him sit in the police station for six hours before they picked him up, and never mentioned it again. He learned his lesson.

Snopple Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 No one is condoning what was done to the lawn of Leodis McKelvin. The two teens who admitted doing should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Additionally, the vandals should be made to reimburse McKelvin for whatever it costs to repair the damage. However, lets keep this in perspective. It's only a minor, non-violent crime. Committed by some jerks. Much less serious than Marshawn Lynch running down that woman with his car last year. Then driving away. What happened to Mckelvins front lawn, is much less serious than what happened to 18 year old Brian Milligan. Who was severely beaten by a gang of 10 black males at the corner of Genesee Street and Floss Avenue in Buffalo about a month ago. In what police describe as a racially motivated hate crime. Their motive: Brian Milligan was dating an African-American lady. So lets keep things in perspective. It seems the media and DA Frank Sedita are more concerned with this millionaires front lawn than they are the senseless beating of this poor teenager.

Doesn't look that way to me. I wonder if they had him sign some standard paperwork with the language about prosecution? He could have signed something like that without really reading it, if the cops presented him with it during / before the investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
