Trespassing is contrary to the law.
Spray painting graffitti is, in fact, defacing the property of another, also a legal offense.
Are we now to feel sorrow for a few youths who, at an hour when they should be either working the night shift or sleeping to prepare for resuming the job search in the morning, were intentionally, blatantly breaking several laws and in the process, lost their lives because of it?
I suppose the families of the deceased lawbreakers will now sue VIA Rail for large sums of money and some "touchy - feely" jury will award them millions of the evil profit-motivated railroad's money!
The whole thing disgusts me! These morons proved old Charlie's theory ... and the gene pool has been cleansed!
Hallelujah!
Is that cold and uncaring? I don't know ... my parents taught me to respect the property of others and to obey the law. For the most part, I did as was taught and have respect for both the law and the property of others. However, the way today's youth culture is, these miscreants will now be immortalized as some kind of sub-culture heros, to be revered and cannonized!
Back in the early '70's I saw a movie called "A Clockwork Orange," a tale of ultra-violence and a youth culture gone wrong by film Producer/Director Stanley Kubrick. At the time, I remember thinking, "If we're not careful, because of the way things seem to be going, one day that's how things will be." I still stand by that uncomfortable prediction ... we're almost there!
