During the LaborDay weekend of 2013, 300 high school kids decided to have fun and broke into
the $1.5
million home of former All-Pro NFL lineman Brian Holloway. They not
only trashed his Stephentown, NY vacation home, but proudly tweeted about their
step-by-step drinking, drug using and destruction spree.
The result of
their “handiwork”?
- Around $20,000 in damages
- Scars on the floor from where they dragged keggers into the mansion
- Ruined carpets soaked with beer, liquor and other beverages
- Punched walls
- Graffiti on wooden walls
- 10 bags of empty liquor bottles, 50 empty bottles of liquor and drug paraphernalia
He stated: “Everything
broken can be fixed, everything that was stolen can be replaced, but 300 lives
are in trouble. The most important thing is to save these kids lives.”
He appealed to the
adolescent-delinquents-in-training (my phrasing, not his) to come forward and
make amends by helping to clean up and help with a benefit for veterans. He
also set up a website www.helpmesave300.com
where almost all of the photos and tweets have been uploaded from the Labor Day
weekend destruction spree (Chapeau for social media and the vanitas vanitatis of
adolescent narcissists!)
On this site,
Holloway wrote: "Come out and help set up, fix up, bring food, and picnic
stuff, so we can honor these real HEROS. I'm here. Come now. Take a stand for
your future. This is called redemption."
The response: only
one (1) showed up! (I applaud this kid and his/her parents). It however
painfully illustrates that a staggering 299 spoiled brads and their dysfunctional
parent units just did not give a damn. Even worse: some of those parents are
angry about the web site and the posted photos of their little darlings. They
even threatened to sue Holloway.
His baffled response:
"Your kids are in my house breaking and stealing my stuff and you are mad
at me because I posted pictures that they took and posted themselves of them
partying and tearing things up?"
Note to the patents of @nicky_roden23,
@mhart7, @_cwarren2546, @DFresh518, @@RickNels, @Alwiha_Skaarup, @BigTone5621, @ricky_roden23 – please wake
up and smell the coffee. Your kid is on a slippery slope to deviant behavior/crime
(that cannot be justified as a “youthful indiscretion”). Your offspring is exposed
now and will be searchable for years to come on the World Wide Web. The tweets
and pics (posted by your brads themselves with the smartphones you pay for!) will
impact their admission to a decent college/university as well as any job
application since it shows that they committed a criminal act. So success with
that! As the parent unit of an out-of-control kid – please make amends. It’s
the least you and your kids can do.
