Probably the same group of thugs (your words), that were on bended knee on the football field last Friday night. Some of Frank Lay’s finest disciples I would bet. Keeping praying for your kids to do good instead of teaching them right from wrong and this is what you get. You reap what you sow.

I never did understand how the teens got their thrills from destroying something that belonged to someone else. I s’pose they never were taught to respect what someone else had worked for or did not because they were hanging out with the wrong crowd. By the same token, it makes me madder than a wet settin’ hen when I see where young whippersnappers have cut do’nuts in newly graded dirt roads… or making sliding ruts all over the muddy roads after a rain.
It seems to me that young’uns have been turned loose to do whatever they please as long as it doesn’t bother their parents. Too many kids have too much time on their hands without having to answer to anyone. When they are not being supervised or taught right from wrong, they tend to do things they shouldn’t. An Idle mind is the devil’s workshop~ that’s what my grandma use to say.

Pansies!

When I was younger, the challenge was to hit a mailbox with a baseball bat at about 25-30 mph, while hanging out the window, or leaning out of the back of a pickup truck, knocking it off its post.

If you did it wrong, you dislocated a least one shoulder, or worse.

You could also go for the “missile option”- faster speed [45-60 mph], using a brick, paint bomb, or bottle [preferably]- same objective– hit the mailbox and knock it off the post– but quite a bit more challenging.

Any moron can just drive over the danged things- no challenge at all.

They also ran over all the garbage cans on Pineforest rd in Walnuthill. Thugs better watch because if I see you doing it, I’m taking tag numbers

The thugs that ran over mailboxes also were running over UCUA garbage cans on Pineville Rd. and O.C. Phillips Rd. They were driving recklessly on the dirt roads of Pineville and Perdido River and were in the ditch several times playing in mudholes according to the Mudgrip tire tracks leaving my mailbox and my vandalized garbage can. I spoke to the driver of ECUA and he states that many garbage cans were turned over on his route and several mail boxes were ran over also.
