Ha there you go...set up a small park, have the kids sign a liability waiver and let them smash up and spraypaint some junk cars!

Sure why not?? That way nobody will be dissapointed when these guys wreck other crap. I'll even provide the matches.

Why would you ruin a place that was made for you? Just stupid disrespectful kids. If this park is taken away, all you kids just remember who ruined it for you.
I think I read where if park is closed you can skate in there driveway until its finished.

I still don't get this argument. Punish all kids for the crimes of 2 or 3? I'm on board with makign them and their parents financially responsible for the repairs. But punish all the kids in town? That makes about as much sense as closing down the town fire department because someone burnt down town hall.

Punish the perps and send their parents to parenting school. Oh yeah, a good old slap on the wrist will do it - we need the court to impose a stiff prison term.

These punks are not kids anymore. Typical slap on the wrists,but taxpayers will have to pay for the repairs.
Justice system fails again!

Sorry,Pelham,but you have a low-life town. just shut the darn park down,and no crying about what the "good kids" are going to do.

I'm a firm believer in letting the punishment fit the crime. Prison time?

Your jumping the gun here killer...the justice system can't fail when they haven't been to trial yet. Give it time.

Make them repair their damage, pay a hefty fine, and give them community service all summer long. I don't want to pay for their sorry punk butts sitting in an air conditioned jail cell with 3 meals a day and a gym to work out in.

The park was built for real skaters and riders it wasn't built for them, I doubt these kids were there to do either. True skateboarders and BMX riders appreciate good parks.

They should spend their summer fixing it. Frick'n punks.

If there stupid enough to do this, they probably shouldn't be using power tools and I would prefer it to be done by skilled professionals. The three dumbasses should pay for it.

Let the Bones Brigade skate rats give these three a-holes some old school Animal Chin street justice.

They can pay for it, but they should fix it with supervision from professionals. They should sweat the butts off doing hard back breaking work. Maybe they'll appreciate it knowing what kind of hard work goes into making such parks.

A Licensed Contractor, I would like to volunteer my time to make the repairs along with the alleged arsonists.

I think that the kids are old enough to know that what they did is wrong. I think the parents should be responsible for paying to have it fixed and the teens should be the ones fixing it. After it is repaired these 3 teens should not allowed at the skate park again

That's nice, I hope they catch them and people see what a nice guy you are for volunteering.

[Slover]

They should be castrated so they cannot breed more scumbags

[You Know It]

Maybe the $15,000 in bail money that their "Hillbilly" parents paid to release their butts should be used to repair it. Duh! I hate this town.

Kids are only as smart as their parents. With the degrading state of this town, it's no wonder these kids are this stupid!

[ANOYMOUS]

Wow just when I thought it couldnt get any worse. Adults are torching skate parks now 17 and 18 years old I dont get it. Hopefully they are treated like adults in court.
