Over the weekend I had gone out to my friend's cousin's house. When we were walking back, I heard this loud echo of breaking glass. About 200 feet later we saw three boys yelling at this other guy across the street. A couple more people came out to the street to see what was going on. Apparently this boy in a green shirt had been walking around smashing cars and breaking windows in the middle of the night. I was shocked, one because I had never witnessed any sort of vandalism before, and two, I just couldn't believe how stupid this person really was. Whether or not he had been drunk that night, it's completely rude and disrespectful of other people's property to be going around ruining it -- especially a car! This really made me question what his true character is. What kind of person would be so motivated as to go around and cause trouble for innocent people? Even if this man had been drunk, he is still responsible for all of his actions. Even so, there are plenty of drunks who still know their proper etiquette and respect other peoples' property. This man even sober probably has a lot of issues to work through. Either way, we called the cops on this guy and he is hopefully paying the fees for the damages he caused and disruption of the neighborhood. Although this night was really disappointing in the sense that some people can really be so bad, it also confirmed my belief that there are a lot more good people than bad out there, since so the five or six people that had been seeing what the ruckus was about all joined together to get this guy out of the street and the innocent man whose car was smashed to justice.
