Cars damaged at the highschool, black paint,

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group Freedom 747001988

Someone went into the student parking today and wrote racist, nasty ,vulgar remarks on kids cars.  They spray painted with black paint on cars park right out in the open.  I can't believe someone with such limited intelligence would do so much damaged.  One kid was drivinghis dads new  white truck.  The car next to my sons mustang had vulgar remarks all over it.  My son was upset, and is afraid to drive his carback to school this week, for fear of more damages.  These kids have after school jobs and have to pay for there cars just like adults.  Now they have damage to there cars they can't afford to pay, some kids only have basic insurance.  It seems they are playing a rival football team this week, and have beat the last 2 teams, it is felt it was done over this.  Parents need to know what there kids are doing if they are out of school during the day.  my son goes to a special class outside school for dual enrollment , when he came to school at 11.45 with the other kids from the school everything was fine, at 2 the parking lot had over 15 damaged cars.  This is not right and who ever did this needs to have to pay for it all ,as well as face the max of charges.  It is ashamed that you can't have anything , people think they have the right to damage and wear up things that are not there's, including public places.  Tagging  nad personal property damage is out of control.  What ever happened to keep your hands to yourself!

I feel sorry for all those kids.  I remember the days when I did not have money and lived from pay check to paycheck.

This is so sad. Will the school take any action since it happened on their property? Are they concerned? How about the local police? Can you organize a parent group to discuss solutions? I'm so sorry parents & these students are having to deal with such a distraction and anxiety. Sending supportive thoughts...

Pranks are no longer fun jokes. They are now mean-spirited and vicious. Sorry about the incident.

Small minds need to make themselves feel bigger.  It would be hard to imagine that they would come back a second day in a row but I'm sure the local police will be on hand to keep an eye out.

Kathy- J/w, but is your son white like yourself, and were the vehicles of the cars that had this vulgar writing on them only of black students? The reason I am asking this is because if all 15 were of black students cars, and all the "white kids" cars were left alone I would guess the rival school didn't do it unless they know all these kids and know what they drive... you know what I mean? Probably some idiot in your son's own school... if what I asked is true :-\

It's amazing what ignorant people are capable of. Reminds me of back when I was in H.S., I had a brand new Grand Prix and these 2 idiot twin brothers egged my car, put balogne and mustard on it (all of which eat paint). Luckily (especially for them) I woke up to my Bull Mastiff/ Rott (he was actually super nice, but he was very protective of me and my stuff) knocking the 6' privacy fence over and barking lol.... and washed it off before it did much damage, but the eggs when they cracked on the car messed up the paint a little, thank god I had full coverage insurance and was able to take their lunch money to pay my deductible LOL

Hi Kathy,

Do you think this is because of the "Presidential Elections" coming up???  Some kids are "very mean" and "ignorant", but hopefully, one day they will "see the light" and change for the better.  Good Luck!!

How sad.  At my daughter's high school they have security camera's in the parking lot.  Does this one?  Maybe they could find out who did it.

Sorry to hear about this. And sorry for the affected kids. Some kids are so mean and mean-spirited. Our 2 cents.

We live in a sick and morally deficient society. I am very sorry to hear of this. They will reap what they sow (you know.. karma).
