FOUR TEENAGERS HAVE FUN THOROUGHLY TRASHING 74-YEAR-OLD WIDOW’S HOME

Authorities estimate damages exceed $50,000

When a neighbor heard loud banging coming Thursday from the house next door in the River Plantation subdivision south of Conroe, Texas, he called the Montgomery County authorities. Sheriff and constable deputies responded to the scene. The first deputy arrived just as a boy and girl were coming out of the back door and he arrested them at gunpoint. Other deputies arrived to see two boys running out of the front door. After a brief foot chase they too were arrested at gunpoint.

When deputies entered the house they found it hard to believe what they saw. The four teenagers – three were 16 and the other one was 15 – had smashed everything they found with baseball bats. The inside of the house looked like a landfill. The Constable for that county precinct said he had never seen anything like this in his 40 years as a law enforcement officer.

The four teen scumbags had smashed ceramics, mirrors, picture frames, TV sets, computers and almost everything else that was breakable. Ice cream had been slung across the living room. A fire had been set on the kitchen counter. The widow’s clothes, files and personal checks were littered on the floor, as were liquor bottles. They ruined family heirlooms, broke up furniture, knocked holes in the walls and broke windows.

Elizabeth Suchors, 74, the widow, had been away from her home because she was receiving care at a friend’s home for a fractured pelvis. Her husband had died just five months ago.

Apparently, the scumbags had burglarized the home before because one of their fathers found a gun hidden in a closet that belonged to the widow. He turned the gun over to the police. All four of the teens lived in the immediate neighborhood of the trashed home.

Unfortunately, the U.S. Constitution does not permit the type of punishment I would impose on these sorry ass kids. It’s a sad commentary on our society when the only way some people can amuse themselves is by making sure that other people feel miserable.
