... or PWN3D

either way you want to look at it.

This morning i was called to testify against the individual responsible for our April Car Fires. (see http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=150559 )

In the end, myself and my wife and two other men were called to the stand.

The offender's entire affluent family of apparent overachievers were present and in notable distress over the behavior of their black sheep underachiever son and what the ordeal has surely put them through as well as myself and the other victims in the neighborhood.

im not some bleeding hearts pansy... but i did feel very sorry for his parents. The heart breaking disappointment they must feel - i wouldnt wish on any parent, but in the end this kid is supposedly a "grown man"... and he made the decision to take a bunch of drugs and drink a bunch of alcohol and go out on the town to set vehicles on fire.

the final ruling on this idiot:

10 years probation

during the 10 years he must spend a yet to be determined period of time living in a half way house while his wages are collected by the state and dispersed to the victims in form of restitution.

he is required to undergo regular random drug testing and alcohol testing.

He is required to take AA for the remainder of his life... any absence from a single AA class or any parole violation of any kind or any failure to secure gainful employment to be used to pay restitution in the next 10 years will result in his return to court for automatic sentencing to a term of 20 years in prison per arson offense... a 180 year sentence.

he claims to understand these terms and has even waived his right to any appeal in the event that he violates these terms in any way shape or form.

from the tone of the judges sentencing and the terminology she used... if he so much as farts in public - his ass is going to prison for the remainder of his life.

after the trial was over, the parents approached me with tears flowing. apologetic for their son's crime.

I hope this young 20 year old will "man up" and make something out of himself.

his ordeal is far from over... he has been given a new lease on life so to speak and hasn't even one chance to **** it up. i wished his parents good luck and left the building.
