    From the local news broadcast this am, it sounds like the family has forgiven the POS and wants to talk to him.

    Luttrell posted a response to this on his IG that demonstrates the direction that we as a collective of groups aligned with conservative ideology should be taking. He offered to fly the kid to Texas and work with him to teach the values and respect that are obviously missing. Also, the Murphy family has gone public, offering forgiveness for a chance to describe to the kid why their son wouldn't beat his ass to a pulp for what he did. Good people IMO, and people I hope to be more similar to, than different from.

    Some things were always off limits and even our band of "sometimes retards" couldn't imagine WTF was wrong with kids who would actually mess with graves, headstones, memorials, etc.
    Born in 92 and I can echo this sentiment.

    And that's noble and all, but simply saying "He's young and made a mistake and we'd like to talk to him" pretty much gives him a HUGE pass. He should be washing police cars for a year with his pay going to restore the monument.

    When you have to fix the shit you do, you start to do less shit.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    If you want to fix stupid, you have to make "Stupid" very, very painful.
    I lived in Crown Point Indiana for a while. They had a Juvenile Home for Boys.
    If you looked out the front windows you saw the local High School and their football field. If you looked out the back windows you saw sports fields and parks where kids and families could have fun.
    I have no doubt that was on purpose. When you can't be free, the most painful thing to see is free people having fun and good wholesome lives.
    Yeah stupid should be very painful.

    When my son was about 8, he got into an argument with a classmate during recess and he said 'I'm going to get my dad's gun and shoot you'. My wife and I had warned him NEVER to threaten another kid in school with gun violence, and he f#$%ed up. When he got home, she gave him a hiding. That was the first time my wife had ever laid hands on him. She was crying while doing so, and expressed how disappointed she was in him (which was more of an impact on him than if she said she was angry). He also lost access to a bunch of stuff.

    My kid has never gotten a 'pass'; there have ALWAYS been consequences for bad choices in behaviour. We're much more forgiving when it comes to academics, but when it comes to being courteous, showing gratitude, respect etc, we have zero tolerance if he screws up.

    The time to talk, explain consequences, teach and nurture a kid is every day. Once the kid screws up, talking's over, and consequences begin. Love alone doesn't stop kids from doing the wrong thing. FEAR of getting caught and being punished does.
