If you’re still confused about why so many Americans support Barack Obama and his Leftist views, look no further than this story from New York state:
If Brian Holloway thought the hundreds of teenagers who destroyed his home were ruthless, wait until their families are through with him.
Several parents are reportedly considering lawsuits against the former NFL star after he posted their children’s names on a website created in the wake of the Labor Day weekend house party.
The website, www.helpmesave300.com, identifies over 100 of the estimated 300 house-crashers who trashed his upstate New York residence, and includes photos and tweets that documented the reckless destruction.
No remorse. No regrets. No apologies. And now the precious little snowflakes are offended that they’ve been outed. Wow.
There was a time when parents raised their children properly. Partying and damaging property would never have been dreamed of.
It is time to up the ante. Is there a legal reason why the parents can not be mentioned in passing? “Mrs. X, mother of Bobby X, is planning on suing me because I caught her son damaging my house. Pass it on.”
He should press charges against the kids if not already done and sue the parents for damages. That is the only language such incompetent parents and their kids can understand.
There must be a mistake. These are all “exceptional” citizens. They would never do something like this.

Why bring Barack Obama into it? He is precisely what the filthy degenerate citizens of a once-great nation would vote into power. Obama is what he is; it is they, the degenerates, who are mostly to blame.
It isn’t because of Obama that the Russian Federation has banned adoption of Russian orphans. It is because the likelihood of the adoptive parents being filthy perverts is so great.
Sounds like the parents are as stupid as the kids. Any successful criminal learns very early to not incriminate oneself and photographing oneself committing a crime and then posting that photograph on the internet is the height of stupidity. Every one of those photos is (a) in the public domain and (b) evidence.
Young people who’ve grown up with social media seem to have zero understanding of what happens when they post a photograph to a web site. I’ve had indignant 14 year old kids in my office complaining that their parents “violated their privacy” by looking up facebook photos of them partying. They get even more outraged when I point out that I can easily access those photos as well. Somehow I doubt that pictures of one at age 14 passed out drunk covered in vomit at a party are going to help ones future job prospects. I’m just glad that when I was that age film cameras were considered to be far too expensive and fragile to bring to a party.
The warped reality of a parent who thinks that suing someone for reposting photographs showing criminal activity by their child which were posted by their child is impossible to comprehend. Likely these parents have zero understanding of what happens to a piece of information on the internet. These parents are going to learn the hard way that the majority of the country views them as first class morons for even suggesting such a lawsuit.
Likely the next move will be lots of entitled kids arrested and lawyers making large amounts of money as they attempt to convince the court that such behavior was totally out of character despite all of the video evidence. These kids had their chance to make amends and blew it and now get to enjoy the US criminal justice system experience.
“State troopers responded to the home, but the teens managed to flee without any arrests made.”
“Sounds like the parents are as stupid as the kids…”
What a coincidence!
We had house parties like that when I was growing up. The difference was when our parents found out, they beat our asses and made us help clean up/pay for damages, and rightly so.
The parents leading the charge are probably lawyers by profession,
worried their devil’s spawn will be reduced to attending some of the
less prestigious institutions in search of becoming qualified to enter
the world’s second oldest profession.
Its the era of no personnel responsibility. Even our government with the bureaucracy is set up that way.Look at the Vancouver riot. How the parents reacted.The police ignored the violence but went after the bystanders. It seems mob violence is now sacrosanct if in enough numbers. Justice is now just another commodity with the victim the criminal for pointing out the malefactors..
Lack of discipline brought on by sparing the rod. The rod will be applied eventually, in a more severe way than would have been necessary in early life.
My time in upstate NY leaves me unsurprised. Disgusted, but not surprised.
These people are liberals. They are viscous. They have no honor. This is how they roll.
Well said John. Degenerate citizens of Rome also supported degenerate leaders. Not much has changed. When a society leaves certain values behind as valueless as ours has this sort of reaction by the parents can be expected.
Revnant Dream and Stradivarious, exactly.
This incident is just another example among an increasing number showing to what extent the state has become the father and mother and no one, including government leaders and its bureaucracy, is responsible for anything.
That would be “vicious”, not viscous. Darn fat fingers.
I know exactly what my father and everyone of my ancestors would have done to a child who vandalized someone’s home. First, they would have applied the strap very, very vigorously, then the vandal would have had to go back, apologize sincerely and repair the damage with their own hands however long it took.
These parents and their children who deny their role in what happened are discarding the pillars of civility and responsibility that uphold our society.
The kids are a-holes because their parents are a-holes….
This indulged bunch of Gen Y rowdies probably heard President Obama lip off, “YOU didn’t build THAT!” Amoral hooligans.
I 100% agree, John. Please re-read the first sentence.
Agreed, entirely, but two things, mainly, bother me:
1. Who organized the party at Mr. Holloway’s “home” (by his own admission, he spends most of his time in Florida) in the first place? It’s a good thing for him, I suppose, that he’s not a Canadian Senator.
What Mr. Holloway is asserting is that someone deliberately made it their business to put together a “home invasion” (literally, as well as figuratively), in his absence and without his consent, using, essentially, the great modern outcomes of American technological prowess — iPhone and Twitter.
and,
2. Why talk about all his Democrat friends?
Michael Dukakis, Mario Cuomo and the Kennedy outfit don’t cut any ice with me (especially the latter). I’m just not sure how you can use “discipline” and “Senator Edward Kennedy” in the same document, really.
I’m also a little bothered by the statement, “if we bought the ketchup there was no milk.” Yet, he graduated from Stanford. And I’m not just sure how the Sheriff happened upon the “party” (maybe one or more of the neighbours called?) But, no matter…
I don’t mean, in any way, to cast aspirations upon Mr. Holloway: he is obviously a decent and honourable man, and a victim of crime. And I’m certain that, in cooking all those hot dogs, hamburgs and pancakes for all those kids, he was trying to give back to America what America had given to him. Let’s just hope against hope that none of the kids who ate his pancakes were at that party…
Mike Harris had a couple of good lines that got him elected: “We’ll give you a hand-up, not a hand-out”, and “the social safety-net is not a hammock”. I rather suspect that Mr. Holloway’s is a cautionary tale.
Yeah well, lawyers are at most the 3rd or 4th oldest profession….
Soldiers…
Camp followers….
Clergy….
All exist in hunting gathering societies…lawyers showed up with agriculture, in city states….probably a branch of the clergy at first.
The element that trashed the guy’s house is older than time…..
“lawyers showed up with agriculture, in city states….probably a branch of the clergy at first”
Yes, Rome was very proud of her laws.

It is no coincidence that so many legal terms are in Latin.
and there are americans who think they will get through this without violence.
Houston — and every other city in the U.S. and Canada — we have a problem: a few generations of parents who have never grown up and who take criticism/discipline of their children personally.
Personal responsibility and accountability are alien concepts in their tiny, entitled, self-centred universes.
In the end its their children that will suffer the most from the
misplaced coddling. Sooner or later . Its becoming a harsh world.One in which these acts will be meet with retaliation, on these entitled youth as they age.
As individuals reality will catch up fast.
The progeny of a toxic culture that has traded morality for self gratification.
And have judge Judy preside over the case!
They will try the wrong home, or select the wrong victim, and they will die. That will be a tragedy, and they will be called victims of senseless violence. I will shed no tears, and I’ll vote to acquit.
Actually on reflection, I suspect the unoccupied house had an alarm system, probably compromised by the invaders, that did notify the Police…..who on arrival didn’t fire on the fleeing teens…..
