These comments are great. People that don't even go there or aren't associated with the school. The clean up barely took any time, the window paint and chalk washed right off and I didn't even see spray paint, if there was some, it was hardly used. People need to be more educated, than to make terrible assumptions based on a news report. The camera crew doesn't have the right to be on school grounds and they were kicked off. This was a harmless prank that was funny and most of the staff laughed at it.

you're just proving cosby kids are idiots and have no respect for anything that is'nt theirs. just stop talking. just because people think it's funny doesn't mean they still don't think it's a crime. And other people are getting involved because you little pricks don't care about your school. If you're "the best school in the nations" (Which you aren't) maybe you should show a little more respect to your school.

To everyone saying that all of the Cosby kids think this is ok:

You're wrong. A lot of us are upset about it. Just because I'm the only one who has posted that feels this way doesn't mean the rest of the kids on here represent the majority. In fact, a lot of us hope that the criminals are caught quickly and punished appropriately, even though graduation is already over, because we don't think it's fair that we had to go to school with vulgar things on the outside walls and on the windows of many of our classrooms.

I think it's funny, but irresponsible. I mean it's just a harmless prank, and people who go to Cosby are obviously in high-school and should OBVIOUSLY know what a **** looks like form FAMILY LIFE, and shouldn't over react about mmmk!!!??? And how do you spell **** wrong....? Those seniors need spelling help, and maybe they shouldn't graduate if they can;t spell!? But they should not be charged as adults...it's a freaking ****? It's not like they threw used condoms on some people during the school day?? You people need to grow up...Be mature about the situation? Yeah i'm sure parents are upset about it, but then again i'm pretty sure the parents have done worse in there time...HAA...way worse. I think they should be able to walk with there class. It's there senior year, and 1 little prank will not kill Chesterfield County. I mean some kid put a two turtles like doing it in the school water fountain down at BBMS, and you don't see us freaking out? Mmmk that's all i have to say byeee

baahaha you are stupid. first of all, stop with the mmkkk and the like like likeee. you sound completely uneducated. though i do agree, how the heck do you spell penis wrong. if you cant spell that maybe you should graduate, so i agree on that part. but it is a big deal, its vandalism. and they SHOULD and will be tried as adults. if they are senior, they either 17 or 18 or older. If that's the case, they are old enough, and the crime is bad enough for them to be charges as adults. People are being mature, they are taking action about it. I think its extremely immature to pretty much give the vandals props for doing what they did. what they did was illegal. They were trespassing and vandalized school property. They'll go to jail for that. And putting 2 turtles in the the school fountain is completely different than this, so you can't even compare it. All of these kids who just think its hilarious need to stop commenting because they have NO respect for anyone or anything. They shouldn't be allowed to walk at graduation, in most schools, if you do something wrong in or at a school function, you lose your privilege to walk, if you are facing FELONY charges, that should be more than enough to not allow them to walk.

Actually, I have a lot of friends. But you don't know me, so it doesn't really matter to me what you say about me. So keep on saying I don't have friends if it makes you feel better.
And Lou, I think they should walk in graduation, just for their parents' sakes. But they should definitely pay for the damage clean-up and have come community service time.

Thank you. it makes me happy that there are some cosby kids who don't find this funny. it seems like the majority of them think it is, granted they are probably immature lower classman, but still. I'm glad you find it inappropriate. I just wanted to thank you, now I know I'm not the only teen who doesn't think it was just a funny prank and that it was no big deal. So thank you:)

It was a prank, but they should pay for damages.
As for everyone thinking, "oh not at Cosby" needs to not be so nieve. Kids in good schools still do things that are stupid and may get them in trouble. Seems everyone thinks this kind of stuff only happens at the "bad" schools.... The comment about the issue of underage drinking. Does anyone realize how much underage drinking is going on at ALL the High Schools. If you say "not my Kid". You better wake up. It is a high percentage of HS kids that drink on a regular basis.
I do hope they find out who did this and make them appologize and pay for damages. Same goes for the damage a Monacan the day after.

it was funny but to far with the spray paint and obviously they graduated

[hahajealous]

okay really? people, I go to cosby, and while I realize it was illegal & immature, it was funny as crap. Clean it up, & move on.

there was no spray paint involved, the news blew it out of porportion

[FormerStudent]

This senior prank was very immature. However like the former cosby studet stated, the building will not be permanantly harmed atleast no animals were harmed. Kids in high school are immature, as most of my friends were back in the day. Pranks are what makes high school exciting, perhaps this one went a little to far. As to say these kids should be denied from college is horrible for a "cosby parent" to say. It's a mistake similar to what one of my friends did when I went to high school, who is now a successful doctor. What if it was your child that made a mistake? Don't be so quick to ignorantly judge. Laugh it off and go on with the day.

[i go to cosby]

first of all.....the people that did this did not actually drink the kegs,and if they actually did how would you prove that they did? so there is no way they could be charged with underage drinking...second, this was hilarious.nobody has gotten the courage up to finally pull a prank at the "best high school in the nation." I do agree that maybe the people caught should help pay for it but criminal charges? thats a little too much....come on now we all know what a **** looks like...its not "porn".nobody was hurt and it was probably the funiest thing that has ever happened at this school....and all the "concerned cosby studens", you all have been thru family life so you know what a penis is, and you dont have to pay for it.... so why do you care? but well done prank seniors...well done

Sorry, you are wrong. There was window paint, chalk, AND spray paint.

Sorry humm... try again. If you didnt do the cleaning then don't assume SPRAY PAINT was included. This is rediculous how everyone is acting. How about we pay attention to all of the DUI's in this county? The crimes that actually harm people....

LOL. You have to love people who try to act educated and then burn themselves in the same paragraph. So, let me get this straight, you don't want a parent from Deep Run to comment on this matter, BUT you tell "not a Teahead" that he can turn off his computer because your comments "are free speech". But yet, the Deep Run parent can't exercise her "free speech" I guess, huh?
This prank, to me, as a Chesterfield County resident seems like it was probably hilarious when you first saw it today. Probably a bit overboard, but probably funny.
However, the striking thing after reading all of these comments today, is how a lot of alleged Cosby students have no grammar skills at all. It's actually more appalling to me that they can't put a sentence together or to simply reason that what they are writing (like the example above) is totally contradicting the point they are trying to make.
Well done Cosby, seems like you are producing some winners in life!

I was thinking the same thing....WTH...

[Baileigh Knight]

I can't see why people are mad about this, but then again I can. Yea it was a pretty Vulgar move, but hey IT was just window paint. They could've taken a hose to it and forgotten all about it, but no. They had to make it into a bigg deal. WAY TO GO COSBY

[Midlothian]

I think it should all be forgiven. The good old boys have learned their lesson.

[Midlothian]

sorry about posting twice.

I can't believe that went after 3 more boys. please, it was just washable paint. get a life!

ohh come on now you know you thought it was funny and if you say that you dont then you are lier and yes it was a crime i agree with you that they should be punished but do you really think that it was hard to go to school it was the outside of the building and also it was the second to last week of school we don't do anything during that week so i think that you took it to far.

I thought it was pretty frickin hilarious! And it wasnt spray paint. Yea it was wrong but just because 2 idiots commited a crime doesn't mean the whole school are idiots thank u!! It came off easily end of story. Not a big deal! Why don't they focus on people causing harm to other people.
