Apparently the recent rash of church burnings in rural Alabama can be attributed to three college students, two of which go to my undergrad. institute, Birmingham-Southern College, and one who goes to UAB, where M got his MBA. They were actually arrested in the dorms!!! This may not seem like a big deal until you realize that BSC only has 1500 students. What a bunch of morons.
Check out the full story here: Students say church arsons meant as "joke"
Now, call me crazy, but in my day our "jokes" consisted of leaving funny notes on peoples' doors or toilet papering someone's dorm room. Even the fraternity pranks were pretty mild, like stealing another frat's mascot, etc. Since when is setting churches on fire a "joke"? They have ruined their lives because "the three students just liked to set and watch fires." Wow, I am speechless
Idiots!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought about you when I heard where they were arrested... I saw the pictures of the kids, they come from good families and seem like decent kids. HOW do you burn down a church, a place that people gather to remember and reflect upon God? I also dont understand the joke, I wish they'd explain because they are like "well they love to be pranksters and thought this was a joke" but they dont finish the "this was a joke because ______" I'd love to know. It's scary to have kids sometimes I think b/c I'm sure out of all these buffoons one kid came up with the idea... and the others decided to follow, I pray that when I have kids they will know not to blindly follow whatever their friends say. So sad.
ReplyDeleteWe were just really really really glad they were dumb white kids and not dumb Muslims. :-/
ReplyDeleteAt least they caught the dumb SOBs
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's definitely not a "joke".
